Hair Ideas

Wednesday, February 8, 2012

To say that I am passionate about hair would be an understatement. It all started when I was a kid - my mother went to cosmetology school and worked in a salon as a nail technician. After school, I would hang out in the back room of the salon, watching the hairstylists mix colors and talk about their clients. At her salon, I learned how to properly use a curling iron, the way to make fine hair look thicker, and how to keep blonde hair looking shiny.

Ever since, I have love getting my hair cut and highlighted. 
 I love splurging on really good shampoo, condition and products. I love beauty and hair magazines and I LOVE finding hair tutorials and tips online!

Here are some of my recent favorites:
  • Lauren Conrad can do no wrong and hair chalk is just another of her great ideas!
  • I've always wondered how to do this and Mrs. Jones does a great version. 
  • The best hair tools for your budget from In Style
  • You Tube is chock full of hair how-to's but Foxy is one of the best. I adore this look right now.
  • One last link - Allure's best haircuts for your face shape.
 What are some of your favorite hair/beauty sites?

 PS - It's been almost a year since I posted this and this. I figured you could use a good laugh. Enjoy!
PPS - How about a vote for the blog? (Yes, I'm asking again. Forgive me!)

    3. you're welcome :)

      yes, totally makes sense. i used to be a receptionist at a hair salon while in college, so i was dying my hair ever month! i would go from brown to blonde and back again constantly (poor hair!) because i loved the brown with my green eyes, but i'm naturally a blonde (dirty blonde;) and always felt washed out and not me with the brown hair. so i totally get what you mean :)

    1. Pantene Mousse for Fine Hair is my first trick - that stuff is magic! The second trick - I use a "smooth and shine" round brush when I blow dry and flip my head over to get some lift.

      Also velcro rollers to set my hair (when I have the time) works wonders!!

    2. Oooh! Thanks! Clarification, do you use your round brush while your head is flipped over? You've got skills :)

    3. I do use the brush while it's flipped over so it stays smooth. Once it's about 90% dry, I section it off and start to dry each section, curling the ends with the brush.

  3. Your hair is gorgeous!

    God Bless! :)
