Quick Tip: Get the Perfect Blowout

We all the know the secret to a great blowout is to hold the brush at the root and then brush away from the scalp while blow drying. But there is something that you can do even before you get to the blow drying. Our quick tip explains how you can get a perfect blowout!

Any leftover residue could result in the blowout going flat quickly. To get a voluminous, shiny blowout wash hair twice. The first shampoo will wash away product build-up while the second will wash away dirt.

After washing, let air dry for 5 minutes while you do your makeup or catch up on emails. This way, hair is slightly less damp and therefore, less likely to frizz.  Take a round brush and blow dry in sections while using the brush to lift hair away from the scalp.  This creates a nice, flowy volume. Also, be sure to use a heat protector to prevent frizz and hair damage.

Perfectly clean hair will lead to the perfect blowout that you can wear for days! In fact, a dry or waterless shampoo can extend the life of your blowout. These shampoos are great for summer!

Diva of the Week: Brooklyn Decker

We have to give it up this week to Brooklyn Decker and this sunny yellow mini, making her this weeks Diva of the Week!  Despite all the gloomy weather we’ve been having the swimsuit model stepped out in a bright yellow dress; this color automatically screams springtime and is so refreshing. We like how she contrasted the feminine dress with black textured booties and a sequin bib necklace.
