I have HORRIBLE hair, so I have to work really hard to try and make it look better than it really is. Here are some of my secrets! My hair is fine, thin, and really unmanageable; but with some patience and lots of thickening products & hair spray, I can achieve that perfect blow-out look! Step 1: Make sure you use a thickening shampoo and a hydrating conditioner. Only apply the conditioner to tips, so it won't weigh down your hair later. Step 2: Towel dry your hair the best you can. Use a pick or wide toothed comb to detangle (fine hair and long hair tend to tangle more easily). Now it's time to apply the product. Use a thickening spray, root boost, and volumizing mouse. Layers, layers, layers. Make sure you get close to the root of your hair and work it in with your fingers. Step 3: Break out the hairdryer! Flip your head over and dry your hair on medium heat until it's damp . This may not be the most comfortable position, but, trust me, it makes ALL the difference! Step 4: Now, divide your hair into three sections: bottom, middle, top. Grab your round brush, turn up the heat to high and begin drying your hair in sections no larger than the width of the brush. The larger the brush the better the lift! Step 5: Repeat step 4 for all three sections of hair. Use the self stick rollers to add extra volume to the top layer. Divide your hair into strips the same width of rollers. Roll your hair and apply high heat from the hair dryer for a few seconds per roller. Let cool for 5-10 minutes then remove. Step 6: Hair spray!! Once you have your hair parted and adjusted to the position that you like, apply hair spray! The more the better! Apply different types and in layers - let each shot of spray dry before applying the next. Also, try using dry shampoo to add volume and texture! And there you have it!!! Perfectly volumized hair. People will think you've gotten a professional blow out! "The higher the hair the closer to God" & "The bigger the hair the smaller the town" Thanks for reading & good hair days to all! Cheers - Molly So lets face it...It's the dead of winter and our tans are long gone! I personally feel better when I have a healthy glow; and when you feel better, you look better! So let's get down to business...there are basically two options here: the professional route or the do-it-yourself route. I have had many professional spray tans in my life, and I must say I am a fan. These are great for extra special occasions, but I would advise that you try it first before the big night just to see how it may react with your skin...everyone is different! The do-it-yourself route is great for gaining that everyday glow or if you want to look a little extra special for date night! The great thing about at-home products is you control exactly how much you use! If you feel like you're becoming a little too dark or a little too orange, simply stop using the product for a few days and use a gentle exfoliant. Using the same gentle exfoliant before applying is always a good way to help ensure the product goes on more evenly. Here are my top alternatives to " fake baking" : #1 - St. Tropez If I could buy this in bulk I would! It is a gradual, self-bronzing mousse that is applied with the corresponding mitt. It provides a slight glow right away but gradually turns tan over a period of a few hours. I usually apply after my night time shower, so it has time to work its magic while I get my beauty rest! The other great thing about this line is that the actual mousse is a dark brown color (don't be alarmed, it isn't actually as dark as it seems) which allows you to see exactly where you are applying it! It comes in a wide variety of options; everything from the basic tanning mousse, to sensitive skin tanning mousse, to an all new in-shower tanning lotion. #2 - Clarins Clarins makes a GREAT self tanning product line! They have several options to choose from. Their "Delicious Self Tanning Cream" is great for building a gradual tan. This is applied with your hands so make sure you wash them well afterwards; you don't want to look like you have been digging in the garden. They also have a self-tanning mousse, which is applied the same way; but the mousse is a white formula where as the cream is a tinted formula. Their self- tanning instant gel is also perfect if you are on a time crunch or if you need to touch up any areas you may have skimmed over using the gradual tanning products - improvise people! #3 - L'Oreal Sublime Bronze I love that this same product comes in three different application options! These are gradual tanning products, which means you will not see any instant color. On the left we have the tanning lotion. This allows you to control how much or how little you many need/want to use. In the middle we have the tanning towelettes. These are individually packaged wipes that already have the tanning agent in them; all you have to is apply. These are great for on-the-go or travel use! On the right we have the self-tanning mist. This requires no rubbing and dries quickly! Y'all comment and let me know if you all have other favorites that have worked for you! Thanks for reading!
