While I love getting dolled up, I’m a total sucker for beauty shortcuts – a cute up-do to cut down on primp time, a tinted moisturizer to get bronzed and moisturized in one step, a quick highlight shadow under your eyebrows to give them better shape when you’re due for a wax. So on days when I just don’t have the time or energy to do my hair, I let it be curly. I’ve tried so many different mousses, gels, and sprays and my favorite has to be John Frieda Frizz-Ease Curl Reviver Styling Mousse for Curly Styles. Of course, you need to have a natural curl to your hair for this to work as well for you as it does to me. If so, it’ll likely be the last styling mousse you’ll need to try.
What this mousse does so well is create the perfect texture for my hair. Other products have made my hair so stiff or too limp, but this one puts the perfect amount of hold on my curls without weighing them down or making them look crunchy. My hair is left with the ideal amount bounce that I’ve searched high and low for. Since I have layers throughout my hair, a curly look tends to work well on days I don’t feel like doing a real hairstyle. Read More »
Who’s ready for a little review sesh? I know I am! I wanted to bring y’all a new video, but I’ve been walking in Birmingham Fashion Week and haven’t had time! I wish we could have brought every single one of you along to see these shows because, man, were they fierce. Last year, BFW was two days after the April 27th disaster that struck my college town of Tuscaloosa and most of Alabama. The show still went on to be such a success, and in turn this year was huge. I’m so honored to have been a part of it all.
In lieu of a new video, I’m showing one of your favorites: Ombré On Your Own. I love this look, and I can’t wait to do it again for spring! It’s a fabulous trend, and I certainly hope it sticks around. In fact, some very fashionable people were sporting this look at BFW. So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and watch!
The waves, the sand, the salty air. Sounds like the makings of a perfect beach day, right? Yeah, until you think about the fact that your hair becomes a hot mess when all of those things combine. Especially my curly/wavy girls out there. It can be tough to battle the beach when it comes to your hair, but fear not. I’ve got some quick ways to prevent your hair from looking like a pile of seaweed.
First things first, protection is a must. (FYI you should use that motto in all areas of your life!) You want to make sure you’re applying a heat protectant or Argan oil to keep your hair safe and frizz-free. You can get the Sedu Argan Oil in this video from Folica!
The beach can actually work in your favor if you’ve got the right style. Braids are my favorite style for the beach because the salty air acts like Bumble & Bumble’s Surf Spray (also fab!) and gives me a nice surfer girl wave at the end of the day. I believe braids are your hair’s best friend at the beach. Buns are also great for adding some volume and texture while keeping your hair off your face.

The summer may be an endless sea of hot days, but every hot day feels a little different. And your hair feels different too.
Hot and dry? Flat and sweaty.
Hot and humid? Big and frizzy (and sweaty).
You look great as you walk out the door. Glancing at your reflection in every passing window you even give yourself a wink. “Good Hair Day!” you think to yourself. But come lunch – game over. Your hair has fallen flat or totally frizzed out.
Beat the heat, as they say; when you hit the store for last minute school supplies look for these hairsprays. They work for nearly all hair types – trust me, I tried – and will keep that just walked out the door with awesome hair look goin’ all day long.
The name says it all – and also doubles as something of a tongue twister. Frieda’s hair spray is non-yellowing, non-dulling and dries clear. I’ve discovered this hairspray is not only good for blondes, but for all shades of hair. Because the spray dries to clear, anyone can use it and definitely should if they want a straight, sleek look. But blondes should most definitely give this spray a go. Bonus: no matter how much you use, you can still run your fingers through your hair. Or whoever else might want to… Read More »
