5 Hair Tips to keep you flawless

 Us women, we all have our daily routine. We find products that work for us and stick to what we know! But when it comes to hair care tips and health, there are plenty of pointers that you may not be aware of! I know you will love these fun, easy, some even transformation, hair tips!! 

Texture Powder!

To all my ladies out there with the flat volume-less hair, this stuff has changed the game for me! Instead of damaging my hair ratting for volume I just dust some texture powder on my roots and let it do the rest of the work! VOLUME ALL DAY LONG! No more flat to my head, lifeless hair. It even replaced hairspray for me. Instead of spraying my hair after curling I just sprinkle some texture powder on the curls and the curls last all day. I use texture powder for every style- straighten, curls, even up-dos, Texture Powder thickens the hair allowing you to style and walk away, but without the sticky, nasty feeling of pastes or spray. Worth every penny! 

My Favorite Texture Powder is SEXY!

Heat Protectant

Our Hair is like our main beauty accessory, so between the color dyes, ratting, curling wands, and flat irons our hair takes a beating… but that's why there are products like heat protectant sprays to help minimize the damage. It is important to make this product your new BFF!  Protectant spray adds moisture to your hair and work by forming a protective layer on top of the hair, preventing it from being exposed to extreme heat, pretty much like sunscreen on your skin.. this product is just as important!

Here if one of my favorite products!

Blonde Shampoo Masque

Have well Water that washes away your gorgeous platinum blonde hair? Purple Shampoos drying out you hair too much? Well I have found every blonde's soul mate! It is a Blonde Shampoo Masque called The Perfect Blond made by Privana! It Replenish and revives dry, damaged strands while toning blonde, silver or highlighted hair! I have been blonde a few years now and it took dozens of products to go thru to find my glass slipper. I have hard well water, and I'm someone who needs to wash my hair everyday so my blonde turns into a terrible rust color! Purple shampoos worked somewhat but dried my hair out to the point it was just falling out. Privana made this masque that not only pulls my platinum back thru but moisturizes it as well. It worked out my silver grey hair color, my purple pink hair color, and my natural dark root to ombre look. If you have dark in your hair, no worries, it doesn't pull color, it just deposits, so whatever blonde, silver color you have in your hair its going to take it, brighten it, and make it feel fresh out of the salon!

Here is a link for the glorious product!

Stubborn Flat Hair?

Do any of you ladies out there have stubborn, straight hair that doesn’t want to hold a curl? I feel you! But I've learned some tricks to make it work. One of the main reasons is how conditioned your hair is. When you wash your hair everyday it locks in a lot of moisture which makes it hard to hold a curl. So skip a day... and throw some dry shampoo in there. I don’t like saying the dirtier the better, but it's true. Your hair grips better that way. Also- less is more! It may be time consuming but achieving this look is worth it- You want to section SMALL parts of hair and curl those, rather than bigger sections. The smaller the bouncer, and the smaller the better it will hold. Let's also go back up to texture powder- it really locks in the style of your hair while adding volume. There are also so many products that help enhance those stubborn curls. Some curls need a little encouragement and nothing defines, maintains and moisturizes curls like AG Hair's Curl!

Flat Iron Tips and Tricks for any length hair

I don’t know if it’s only me, but I just hopped on the ‘flat iron does all’ train!
 Everyone knows that flat irons make your hair super straight & sleek… but they so much more!!

CURLS:

Ive recently learned the best curls ever are from my flat iron, not my EXPENSIVE curling wands and barrels. I can curl my whole head in under 10 minutes with my flat iron... Yes, 10 minutes, It’s especially beneficial for ladies with hair that's shoulder length and shorter since most curling barrels and wands can be to big and more tricky to work with. I’ve burned myself more than I haven’t! Section off your hair, make a quick twist with the iron, pull down your hair and you beautiful lose curls.
Here's an awesome video thanks to Milabu, especially for us short hair girls!

WAVES:

If you are looking for that easy beach wave look.. FLAT IRON! I use a quick up down movement while working down my hair, which creates an effortless wave! Now if you were to wait an extra second in between this up / down movement it creates more of that crimp look! So depending on how long you hold that down or up position in between,  you can control how minimal the wave is to how sharp the crimp is.

VOLUME:

VOLUME VOLUME!!! So much volume! So obvi the flat iron is meant for straightening, but if you need some assistance with reviving your flat, fine hair, look no further!! I have super flat lifeless hair so when I straighten it, it's just stuck to my scalp... so instead of ratting my hair, I just pin up my top layer of hair then use that minimal wave technique (starting from the roots) on the underneath sections so it makes the top look more voluminous! So you can still achieve that sleek straightened hair, but with some more UMPH!
You’re welcome!

SETTING TEMPORARY COLOR:

Hair chalking is a great option for extreme hair colors for those who are either are nervous to dye their hair those unicorn tones, or want to dodge dye damage! The only negative thing is that the chalk gets everywhere and will rub off on your clothes/hands, and fades quick! But our lovely flat iron can avoid all that mess! Once you apply the color chalk go over it with your flat iron for a lasting seal that’ll keep the color longer and you’re messes smaller! Not all heroes wear capes!
