Brighten that Blonde

I took my own advice and got some purple shampoo. Deep colored purple shampoo like this Clairol Shimmer Lights shampoo ($8 at Sally's) helps brighten blonde hair and remove brassiness. I used this for the first time last night and LOVE it. Not only does it smell good but helped brighten the blonde in my hair. Don't be caught off guard at how purple this shampoo is - just use it! Do NOT use this every time you wash your hair. I would suggest maybe twice a month. 

Spray Away

If you're a female and you're breathing, then you depend on dry shampoo for basic survival. However, most dry shampoos are white-ish and leave brown hair looking grey. If you're a blonde (natural or not...), you're golden...if anything, it calms down my exposed brown roots - thank goodness. For my gal pals with darker hair, I've found this product that is invisible. Spray away, my friends.
Find this product at Sephora.

Ombre for All

Ombre is not just for long locks, ladies. I love Miley's hair here...makes me want this exact look. Carefully choose your shades. I love that Miley's darkest shade appears to be her natural color, matching her brows. Bored with your current color? Spice it up and go all ombre on everyone!

How to Wear Day Two Hair

Our hair stylists tell us not to wash our hair everyday. So...what's a girl to do with her second day hair? Braids, buns, ponies and bobby pins are your best friends, girlfriend. I love this messy braid - totally perfect for less-than-clean hair. To refresh before styling and braiding, try dry shampoo. 

Better with a Bob

Bobs are back, babes. I've always said they were timeless anyway but now that celebrities like Shakira and Katy Perry are on board, my case is stronger than ever. Add subtle layers to help with volume and don't forget blunt or side bangs to keep this hair style fun. Hair dry from being over-processed and dry from the winter? This is the perfect excuse to chop your locks and get back healthy-looking hair. Have at it, ladies. Luscious bobbed locks await you. 

Back to Basics with Braids

If you are like me and always running late in the morning, braids and buns can be your best friends. When I wake up with crazy bed head or am in a rush, I always opt for a bun. Every now and then, I spice it up with a french braid, framing my face. It's such an elementary skill but always gets me compliments. If you are taking your hair stylist's advice and trying not to wash your hair daily, this is a great way to wear second day hair. Keeping your hair healthy and rock a new style...check and check. 

Bring on the Blonde

Let's get one thing straight...blonde is always in style. But, for fall, it's suggested that you say "see ya" to the golden tones and "nice to meet ya" to the white blonde look. You aren't going to hear me complaining. But, let's be serious...if you don't have the skin tone to support white hair, don't get ahead of yourself. Stay realistic with a beige blonde or ash blonde if it suits you better. 

Bang, Bang

Bangs. If you've got them, flaunt them. If you are looking for the trendy haircut, you might want to tell your stylist to hook you up with these bold bangs. Eye-grazing hair is in and is making a bang...get it? I've done the thick straight-across bang and let me tell you, ladies you'll feel instantly a little more fabulous. Who doesn't want that?

Forever Blonde

I have tried every hair product there is so I feel that I'm the perfect person to let it be known when I find a keeper. This line by Paul Mitchell, Forever Blonde, does everything it says it does. My favorite is the Forever Blonde Shampoo because the scent is simply delicious. Purple shampoos like this one intensifies blonde and white toned hair. This color-depositing shampoo brightens hair and prevents brassiness. Trying this shampoo was a suggestion from my stylist who was trying to take my hair from damaged from being over-processed and styled to silky smooth. Mission accomplished...my hair is the healthiest it's been in years. Between this line and their Awapuhi keratin collection, Paul Mitchell is winning my heart over more and more. 

Baby Got Buns

I'm not a girl who possesses a lot of patience. So, growing my hair out is a big struggle for me. Once it starts grazing my shoulders, I have it chopped. However, if I were to have long, flowing Kardashian locks, I would wear a sock bun on the reg. It's quick, it's easy and it makes you look put together. It would be my go-to for work, play and everything in between. It's an up-do without being too 1998 prom. 

L'Oreal Love

I have been screaming from the rooftops about this hairspray since I came out of the womb. Finally, someone else recognizes. Elnett is the MVP of hairsprays. I don't know if it's the chic gold can or the way it man-handles my hair, but I don't love this hairspray...I'm IN LOVE with it. Celeb hairstylists swear by it and so do I. Buy it. Spray it. Love it.
