Be A Wax Artist!

Hair wax can add unbelievable texture and extreme definition- or, when used incorrectly, it can flatten your style in a matter of seconds! To apply hair wax without a hassle, try the following tips:

• Look for a water-based wax, like Garnier Fructis Brilliantine Shine Wax ($3.99). It’s more pliable, which means no hardening or stiffness, and makes hair easier to style.
• Less is more! Scoop out just enough to cover the pad of your finger. Remember, you can always add wax as you go!
• Rub the wax between your fingers before applying to hair. This warms the wax, making it easier to apply, and also distributes it evenly across your fingers to avoid clumping.
• For “blown back” or softer styles, lightly run your fingers through the hair to shape. For more intensely defined styles, try putting a small amount of wax on both hands, gripping the section of hair you are styling, and sliding both hands down the section from root to tip with ample pressure.

The WEN Healthy Hair Care System

Say goodbye to shampoo, and hello to the WEN by Chaz Dean Healthy Hair Care System in Sweet Almond Mint ($29.95). This system excludes ordinary shampoo, in favor of a cleansing conditioner (which contains no sodium laurel sulfate or damaging detergents). Created with a balance of natural ingredients to moisturize, soothe, strengthen and shine while still freeing hair of dirt and oil, this system can be used with great results by all hair types. The system includes Cleansing Conditioner (12 oz), Styling Creme (2 oz), and Moist Intensive Hair Repair Masque (2 oz). As an added bonus, you will receive Texture Balm (10g) and a Wide Tooth Shower Comb for easier detangling.

Just Beachy

Add straight-from-the-sea texture to your hair with Blow Beach Blow Texturizing Mist ($20.00). This lightweight mist is pumped up with natural marine extracts to mimic the look of hair after a swim in the ocean. Just spray on to damp hair before styling and shape with fingers for sexy beach-worthy hair that isn’t sticky or waxy! Also, the convenient 5 ounce bottle fits easily into your bag for styling and touch ups on the go!

‘Big’ Hair From LUSH

Add bounce, body and shine to limp locks with LUSH’s sensational, salty Big Shampoo ($21.35). Sea salt adds fullness and gives hair and scalp a deep clean. Fresh lemon and lime juices give you a glossy shine, while combining with mandarin oil for a delicious, margarita-like scent. Don’t let the chunky, unusual texture discourage you- massage handful into wet hair and watch for BIG results!

The Ultimate Styling Cocktail!

Improve the function of other styling products with MOP® Glisten Shine Drops ($16.00). This formula modifies the texture of other styling products while maximizing shine to your hair. Gain reflective shine and a smooth, healthy finish while reaping the benefits of your other favorite styling products. As an added bonus, Glisten Shine Drops can be used on their own. Squeeze just a few drops into your hand and disperse evenly throughout ends and midsection of hair, avoiding roots.

Perfect Pomade

Add texture and definition to curly hair with Kusco Murphy Lavender Hair Creme ($35.00). This pomade will promote curl when used on wet hair, and will add more texture and fullness to dry hair. Use a small amount on the ends, working your way up to the roots. Or, use a lot more for a slick look! This product is water-soluble, so it will easily rinse out without leaving buildup.

Tip: Apply to towel-dried hair, then use a diffuser to banish frizz!

The New ‘Feathered’ Hair

 

Don’t be surprised when you see feathers accenting clothing and accessories at your favorite stores next season! Designers like Carolina Herrera, Badgley Mischka and Marc Jacobs have used the deep gem-tones and sensual texture to create pieces that are as beautiful as the creatures who inspired them. Be part of the flock with bold hair accessories like this Plumage Headband from Urban Outfitters ($18.00). The headband is simple and classy, and works well with all hair types and lengths.

A Daily Dose of Antioxidants from Fresh

Antioxidants are as good for your hair as they are for your body, and pomegranates are chocked full of them! Fresh Pomegranate Conditioning Hair Rinse ($26.00) takes advantage of the free-radical shielding properties of this favorite fruit. Your hair will be safe in the protective arms of powerful pomegranate and sunflower extracts, while the detangling formula adds body, texture and shine. The lightweight conditioner is suitable for daily use for all hair types.

Give Your Hair the Brush-off

Mason Pearson is the Cadillac of hairbrushes. In business since 1885, the company was the first to implement rubber-cushioned brushes used by all hairbrush manufacturers today.

 

The Pocket Bristle model has 5 rings of boar bristle and works well on those who have fine-textured hair to medium-textured hair. Similar Pocket Bristle models have a combination of boar bristle and nylon tufts for those with normal texture, and with all nylon tufts for think, coarse hair.

A Mason Pearson brush is super sturdy and comfortable to use. It’s a true investment in your hair.
