How to take care of your hair

Has this ever happened to you????

Maybe this has never exactly happened to you before but I know that there are a lot of girls who have their hair really dry and burnt. If that is you, keep reading. If you're hair is not dry or burnt yet but you straighten it every day you should keep reading too. Sometimes you might straighten your hair everyday or you might curl it. Both ways can damage your hair because both styles use a lot of heat so you should just keep reading because I will help you know how to take care of your hair.  

I read a wiki to help you with advice. If you want to know more details than what I post you can read this article to see where I got my information. It can help you take care of your hair!   

The first thing you need to know is to buy a right shampoo and conditioner for your hair. It gives your hair softness and will help your hair not break. Like this:

  
The second thing is you should not brush your hair too much because you can rip your hair off. Like this:

Last of all, make sure you let your hair dry after you get out of the shower and don't just put it in a bun. Just let the air dry it not the hair dryer.  A hair dryer can make your hair poofy and frizzy. 

Sometimes you can trim your hair so it can help you but don’t stright it too much. Sometimes you can do your hair really nice but please don’t damage your hair too much like the girl in the video. ha!

Textured Knot

Hey everyone! Long time no see! I can't wait to show you this new look, which has first appeared at the Band Of Outsiders fall 2013 show. This artfully rumpled style has been created by Duffy, a beauty expert. I've found this tutorial ( well, more like, a video) on Vogue.com on its top 10 stories from this week. I must say that this fashion season will be mostly marked by a little more classier and sleeaker hairstyles, but nevermind, because this is a great mixture of messy and classy! And even though this is a very casual style, it's the texture of the hair that makes it so exceptional!

For more info about the products used in this video (oh yeah, don't be afraid of clicking the link, It's not a virus or a pop-up, It will just open an extra tab and you will watch it there!) you can visit the Vogue page here. And as for the video, just follow this link: http://bcove.me/5i06rgeb

Quinceanera!

Have you ever been to a quinceanera? Well, if you have then you know all the best party ever with the prettiest dresses and most gorgeous hair styles. If you have not ever been to one, then sit back, relax, and check out my thoughts on quinceanera hairstyles. They are really wonderful and I know you guys will like them. I need to warn you though-- there are some really cute ones but there are others that are extremely hideous!

For example:

Here is what you should not do.

That humongous feathers on the side are all wrong. It is way too much. Then, the actual hair is just like a pony tail on the side. It is too simple.

Here is how to have an accessory in your hair and make it look good:

This is better because the flower is not taking over her whole head. It is just a really pretty extra thing. Its not really messy either. It is designed really good. The hair is tight and in place. There are no hairs hanging down. Its very clean, shiney, put together, and I just love it! The crown is in the perfect place and she looks like a princess for the day. That is what a quinceanera is all about!

I had my quinceanera last October, and here is what my hair looked like.

If you are looking for something for your party you can look at this article. It talks about wedding too. Let me know which style is your favorite!

Locks of Love

I know that I usually give tips for hair styling, but today I want to talk about something a little different. I want to talk about how you could help people who have no hair! Did you know that people who have cancer lose their hair? This is especially hard for girls who are like me in middle school. But, did you also know that you can donate your hair for people that lost their hair for cancer? There is this website called Locks of Love You can go here to learn more about the rules about donating your hair. 

It is very intense for people to do this. Look at this video I found of a girl shaving her head for locks of love:

  
            I think this girl is so crazy! I cannot believe she shaved her whole head. But I would do the same thing if my brother or family had the same thing happen to them. If they had cancer I would shave my hair for them. This girl did it for people she didn't know so that is pretty brave.Thats really good she is doing this to help cancer people.  
            I find it interesting because people need hair. I could love to help too. All of us could help. You don't have to shave your whole head to donate your hair to locks of love. You can just cut 9 inches off. Then they will make a wig out of your hair and then they give the wig to girls that have cancer. There are lots of rules though about like dying your hair and things like that. Make sure you go to the website to learn more about how to donate your hair to this place. Any girl that have long hair should donate their hair to the Lack of love!

Have you ever donate before? Do you know someone that did? Leave me a comment about what you think.

Horrible Hair at the Oscars!!

This week I am going to talk about the worst celebrity hairstyles at the Academy Awards. I want to talk about this because sometimes famous people make their hair ugly. They just show up to these fancy places, and don’t do their hair good they just put their hair ugly. What is the point of having a team of stylists if they don’t do the famous hair looking drop dead gorgeous? If I was famous I would put my hair glamourous so I would take people's breath away.

Look at this lady. People are saying bad things about her because of how she put their hairs. I agree with them. Why did this woman want that hair? It is so messy! Some people liked it but I really think it doesn’t look good enough for the most famous night for movies. She should have should put her hair really fancy because she knew she was going to be in tv.

But the worst one is this girl. It looks like rats are living in her hairs! What was she thinking?!?! I can’t believe her team of stylists let her go to the awards like that. She should have done a smooth bun instead.... Maybe she should read my blog about mousse... that could help her! You can check out more bad hair from the oscars here.

Mousse is the BEST!

     There are lots of great hair products out there in the stores, and sometimes it is hard to choose which kind of hair product to get. Well, since my blog is about hair, let me help you decide! Mousse is the best hair product out there. Some people think that gel or hairspray is the best hair product, but once you see the evidence you can tell mousse is really the best. It is the best because it is not very messy, you can use it for many different styles, and it has the best end results for your hair. 

     Mousse is not as messy as gel or hairspray. Mousse can be a little sticky but all you have to do is rinse your hands. Its kind of like bubbles because its very light and foamy. Mousse can also drop or fall but you can easily clean it up because its just like bubbles. Also when you press the top of the mousse it comes really nice and slow. Like this:
 

     But gel is really sticky and gooey. It drops or falls because its slippery, and it slides out of your hands. Then you have to clean the mess up and it sticks on the floor.. Gel you have to put your hand all the way in the jar and then your hand comes out all gooey. Look at my brother's gel!!

     Hair Spray can spray all over and get crusty on the mirrors in your bathroom and can also flake off your hair and get on your shirt like dandruff.  


     The next reason why mousse is the best is because you can use mousse for lots of different styles. You can use it to slick back a pony tail to be straight, or you can scrunch your hair up to be curly. When you take a shower  at  night you can put mousse on your hair and wrap it up like a bow. Then when you are getting ready for school you can put your hair down and your hair can be scrunched, nice, and hard. Trust me; it’s really good. I always use it. When you’re looking for something to put on your hair you should use mousse. Look at me!!!

     Some people think hairspray and gel are better, but its not true. If you use mousse your hair looks better in the end. I am  going to tell you the truth when you have straight hair it really doesn’t  help you to put gel or hairspray. Gel in straight hair makes it have knots and it gets in globs. Hairspray just makes it look like fake hair because its too hard.  But when you do your hair with mousse it keeps your hair smooth without making it super hard and crusty and not moving.  Plus, gel really doesn’t smell good and hairspray can get in you mouth. Mousse can smell good and it doesn't go in your mouth.


     So next time you are at the store for hair products just remember that mousse is the best option. Its not messy, you can use if for all kinds of different styles, then when you are done with your hair you can see mouse is better than hairspray.


Hair tip:
Herbal Essences http://www.bestcovery.com/herbal-essences-body-envy-volumizing-mousse is a great mousse for hair. It is rated the best mousse.

When I wake up in the morning sometimes I am tired, and sometimes I am ready to go. But no matter how I’m feeling when I wake up I am thinking “What should I do with my hair today.” It is really hard when we don’t know what to do with our hair. When I go to school I usually just straighten my hair because it is easy but when I go to parties I do my hair really pretty. I guess it is because when I am at school I really don’t care what my hair looks like but sometimes “OMG my hair is so messed up!” I think all of us girls wish we had more easy ideas on how to make pretty hair for school. So, since my blog is all about hair, I decided to search for something to fix our problem.

Here is what I found:

Hair for school

This article is called “10 quick and easy hairstyles for the new school year” and the hairstyles are perfect for girls my age in middle school. First of all they are really easy to do. So even when I’m tired I can still do my hair so it looks cool and nice. They describe how they do the hair but not in a really long way. They just have the details that are really important and there is a picture for every hairstyle. My favorite one is a hair bow that is really a simple one but still really pretty. That is really good for anything you wear or anywhere you want to go.  Its picture 3 it says “Popping a bow into your hair is a feminine touch that takes just seconds to do but makes you look like you've spent time carefully planning your look for the day.” That means it is girly, pretty, and fashion but it is still easy. That sounds like a perfect hairstyles for school.

Comments:
You guys should try out some of these hairstyles and tell me how they go! You should leave comments about what kind of hair stuff you want to read next too. Comment! :)

Big Classic Bouffant

I really am a fan of this look, and I always was. It's so classic, feminine and the dramatic cat eye eyeliner is probably my absolute favorite look, although I don't wear it. Anyway, I found this handy tutorial on Bobby Glam Blog, and If you want to check it out you will find lots of these classic hair tutorials. 

Firstly, you need to fit the Hair Booty hair extension to help achieve a big bouffant to rival Brigitte Bardot’s! You need to take a section from the front of your hair to pull back over the Hair Booty once it has been fitted. Like you can see in the pics above, if you have a fringe like me, take the section from behind your fringe. If not, begin so you are in line with your temple. Take a section about 2cm wide to cover the Booty.

Take the sectioned hair and secure with a sectioning clip to keep it out of the way whilst you are fitting your Hair Booty.

Now you need to fit your Hair Booty, the trick here is to put the Booty quite high up on your head as it creates a much bigger and more voluminous bouffant. So the clips of the Booty will be fitted on to the top of your head, with some falling around your crown area. Now, if you’re wanting a super duper bouffant you could always backcomb your hair before you fit the Booty. If you don’t want oodles of volume, you can skip this step … totally up to you.

Once you have your Booty fitted you then need to un-clip the section that you sectioned off in step 1. This will be pulled over to cover the Hair Booty. Backcomb this section a little and spritz with hairspray to ensure all of it is covered.

Pull all of your hair over to one side and secure in place with bobby pins. The side you choose is completely up to you; generally the same side as your fringe works best.

Then if you have a fringe, you need to pull this over and secure neatly with a bobby pin. If you don’t have a fringe you can just pull a section of hair to the side and secure it with a bobby pin too … it should still look the same.

Next you need to take your hair straighteners or curling tongs, whichever you prefer, and carefully add a few curls throughout the ends of your hair. Be sure to start the curl from the mid-lengths of your hair to achieve that classical look!
