Attention, ponytails: You’ve got some competition! Braids are taking over as the go-to, chic-for-every-occasion hairstyle on celebs, models and, now, you.

1. The undone braid
The number-one thing to love about this style: The messier it gets, the better it looks!

How to Get it Right

1. No need for a blowout; just apply a bit of texturizer to the bottom third of dry hair for nongreasy piecey-ness. A good one to try: Pantene Pro-V Texture Spray Wax ($6.50, at drugstores). 2. Make a braid (or two!), securing with a clear elastic two inches from the ends. 3. Now gently tug around the crown and back of your head to get the messiness going, instructs celebrity hairstylist Hallie Bowman. To loosen the braid up even more, stick your fingers or the handle of a comb in and wiggle a bit. Got layers? Let ‘em hang out.

Thank God this is one award TSwift didn’t take.

Where’s Andrew Koenig?

Perfect waves while you sleep?!

People are scum. And here is your evidence.

So Billy Corgan is not with Jessica. I think.

You’ve all seen it: the side braid. Supposedly made infamous by Lauren Conrad, this look has been seen on red carpets, runways and LA sidewalks alike. I don’t give Ms. Conrad credit for this hair gem (or the books she’s “written”), but I can show you how to do it.

Disclaimer: Being able to do a side braid does not guarantee a hit reality show based on you doing nothing, or a crappy, watered down fashion line in Kohl’s stores across the country.

Now that I have that out of the way, let’s get braiding. And don’t need to be intimidated by the French braid! Just keep your cool and practice; come Summer, you’ll have the perfect day-to-night ‘do down pat.

If you’ve read any of my DIY columns, then you probably know I’m completely in love with hair flair! I love a good headband, head-wrap, and now I’m really into adding some bling to spice up a normal hair day.

And although I love a bold hair flair statement, I also like elegant and simple hair accessories, too, like sequined and rhinestone bobby pins.

Because hair accessories are all the rage right now, they can also be really expensive! And we all know that us college kids don’t have the moolah to spend $10 on a bobby pin. So here is a money savvy way to add that extra elegant glam to a normal hair day without adding the extra cash.

What You’ll Need:
Large or Extra Large Bobby Pins: Get bobby pins in your hair color to keep it simple, or use brighter color bobby pins for a bolder statement! Find these at any local drug store, Target, or grocery store!
Small Rhinestones (or sequins): These will be later glued onto your bobby pins, so make sure they are small enough to fit nicely onto the pin! Use multiple colors for some fun, or keep it classy with black and silver rhinestones that will create a more sophisticated look. Find these at your local craft store: Joann Fabrics and Michael’s  have a huge variety.
Superglue: You can pick this up at any drug store, hardware store, or Target. Don’t use the brush-on-superglue – instead use the normal super glue with the small tip (which will make for easy application!).
Tweezers: This is optional but they’ll make the process a lot easier…and prevent you from getting your fingers stuck together. Read More »

As a native Minnesotan, the frigid cold of winter is nothing new to me. And while the snow might be pretty sometimes, dry skin and hair never is. Keeping your hair moisturized in the winter can be difficult, but this College Candy girl has worked at a hair salon for three years and is going to share her knowledge on the best products to help your hair weather out the winter on a college budget. (And that’s the end of my talking in third person…)

To have your best hair in the winter, experts say you have to start with the basics.

Starting with a moisturizing shampoo is crucial. And there are plenty of them out there that won’t cost you a fortune. My favorites: Read More »

Though grossly under-rated, hair accessories might be one of the best ways to spice up an outfit and add a special flair. Cheaper than a hot pair of shoes and more practical than a bunch of bangles, headbands and hairpins do double duty: they accessorize and pull that hair out of your face.

Whether you’re looking for something rocker chic, vintage, boho or classic, there are adorable hair pieces out there at super cheap prices. So instead of spending $30 on a shirt you will really only wear once, why not spend $20 and load up on some hair accessories that will enhance the stuff you’ve already got hanging in that closet?

I used to think I was so cool with my crunchy, scrunched waves back in middle school. And then I realized I was wrong. There’s nothing cute about crunchy hair. But unless you really know what you’re doing, it’s hard to achieve pretty, natural looking waves, especially with a ton of mousse and scrunching.

If you want Victoria’s Secret-style waves without Gisele’s hair stylist, this video is for you. And don’t worry – It’s easier than you think!

I’m a fan of packing heat. From my blow dryer that is. Sadly, I have burned through three blow dryers in the past year. Much like Tiger Woods, 2009 was not good year for them. And then Christmas happened. I asked for one thing and one thing only: the Bespoke Labs T3 Evolution blow dryer.

Let me tell you, this badboy is AH-MA-ZING!

In this video (the first of the new year!) I’m breaking this thing down so you can decide if it’s worth the investment. And if you think it is, then start saving! I think every girl should invest in great, long-lasting tools, and this is something well worth your money.
