Beautiful You: Hair Tips

Hey guys so today I wanted to continue my beauty series Beautiful You with some of my favorite hair tips. Some have to deal with styling your hair and some of my favorite hair products. I am a person that spends a lot of time on my hair with styling and all that fun stuff so I have some awesome products.

1. I have been known to wear my hair straight and curly for different occasions and the first thing I always do is put heat protection on my hair. My hair is thick so I have to use a high heat setting. Heat protection can be a little expensive but you will be happy with how your hair looks when it isn't burned and dry.

2. Coconut Oil is super healthy for your hair. Put the oil in your hair and leave it for a little bit and it leaves your hair stronger and shinier. A plus with this product is that coconut oils are not crazy expensive and a lot of stores sell them.

3. If you have a lot of static in your hair I have the perfect solution for you. If you take a dryer sheet and put it over your hairbrush it helps remove static and trust me this one works.

4. Dry shampoo is a must for me. It is bad for your hair to wash it everyday and use heat but the solution is amazing. If you take dry shampoo and spray it all over your hair it makes your hair look and feel so much cleaner. I suggest the Pantiene dry shampoo. It is pricey but worth it.

5. Make sure you get a good quality hair straightener/curling iron. I bought a $20 straightener one time and I got what I paid for. It took forever to heat up and didn't work as well as the one I bought for more money. It is true that you get what you pay for. Now don't go pay over $100 for a straightener but don't pay $30 for one. Use common sense. No one knows your hair better than you.

6. There is a HUGE difference between a curling iron and a curling wand. If you are looking for looser curls that aren't as defined a curling iron is what you want. If you want more defined curls get a curling wand. I use a wand and I absolutely love it. It is hard to learn how to use it at first but there are so many tutorials on YouTube.

7. If you dye your hair like I do there is a shampoo/conditioner you should be using. The Suave Professional series for colored hair is awesome! I use the Moroccan Oil but all the scents are awesome and it helps keep your hair vibrant and look amazing.

8. If you have fly away/ baby hairs put some hair gel on the back of your comb and lightly brush them down. If that doesn't work try putting a little bit of gel on your fingers and smooth them down like that.

9. When conditioning your hair make sure you spend some time conditioning your ends. It helps your hair stay less greasy. Don't ask me how I just know it works and is now part of my shower routine.

10. If you have curly hair and you use mousse, make sure you flip your head when putting the mousse in your hair. This gives your hair volume while you apply your product.
