Hair care

Alright guys, it's time to start taking care of your hair.
Everything that your hair is exposed to will effect it, from water, the sun, heat, chlorine, etc.

So lets start with sun exposure. Just like your skin, your hair can get very damaged from the harsh UV rays. Luckily, there are products to protect it!
*Kerastase - Soleil Huile Celeste Spray
- $40
- 125ml spray bottle

 Soleil Huile Celeste

*TREmseme - Climate Protection Spray

Chlorine, a blondes worst nightmare. Chlorine is such a harsh chemical, and it's so hard to get away from pools in the summer... So instead of avoiding them, just protect your hair!

- $40
- 250ml
- Protects from chlorine & sun damaged hair.


*Malibu Crystals Treatment Gel
- $5

- Removes that horrible chlorinated green color from blonde hair.

Heat Damage... Let's face it, most of us use blow dryers, flat irons, and curling irons. Get some products so you wont ever have to "take a break" from your beauty tools!
*Kerastase - Ciment Thermique (pre-blowdry)
- $18-$40
- Protects your hair from your blow dryer as well as nourishes your locks.

TREsumme Platinum spray

Paul Mitchell Hott off the press

*Paul Mitchell - Hot Off The Press

And Last but not least, my recommendations for daily shampoos, conditioners, and treatments that are sulfate free.

Today's Track : Lights - Second Go

Everyday routine

I've been getting a lot of Compliments on my hair and make up and how I do it.

 I yield an hour for my hair and 15 min for my make up.

After washing my hair, I blow dry with a paddle brush to get it as straight as can.
Before smoothing it out with my flat iron I protect it with Kerastase's Architect Serum.
My trick to get it wavy and smooth is to take 1 1/2 inch sections with my flat iron and rotate it 90 degrees (to create a slight curl). Immediately after, follow with a medium size round brush, turn in the same direction, and twist for extra curl. The end result should be a smooth wave.
Since I have a small face I make sure my curls are going away from my face.
For a more simple approach, try using a curling wand. On days I need a curl touch up I bust out my Enzo Milano 1" curling wand.

For my make up I use Chanel primer and foundation (matte lumierè). Bronzer/blush I use is Benefit's Hula. Eyeliner I like to use is gel and a brush to paint it on. I have Bobby Brown's gel liner in black. For mascara I have Diorshow. I'm not a big on wearing mascara everyday so it usually lasts me for 5 months.

Voila!
