The 10 Rules of Shiny, Sexy Hair

 

Shiny Hair Rule #1: Know how often you should shampoo.

Rule of thumb: If you have thick hair that doesn’t get too oily, wash your hair every other day. If your hair is finer and gets oily more quickly, suds up your locks every day, says celebrity hairstylist Edward Tricomi. A blast of cool water at the end of your shower (though it might make you give a little yelp!) will help close off hair follicles to seal in the shine-makers from your shampoo.

Shiny Hair Rule #2: Stock up on shine-enhancing hair products.

Love the feeling of your baby-smooth, perfectly soft skin after using a face mask? Well you can bet that your hair benefits from the same TLC! Using a moisturizing hair mask like Fekkai’s Hair Mask With Shea Butter once a week will help glossify your hair.

Shiny Hair Rule #3: Try a clarifying DIY recipe.

All those hairsprays, gels and hair creams that we beauty fanatics love have a habit of gunking up our hair. Clarifying shampoos might sound like the perfect solution, but you risk stripping away the healthy, natural oils along with the gunk. Instead, Fekkai Salon hairstylist Stefanie Henriquez suggests using this gentle DIY recipe once a week to remove buildup: Add a few ounces of apple cider vinegar to your shampoo, then follow up with a moisturizing conditioner. The cider helps break down residue so natural luster can dig back to the surface.

Shiny Hair Rule #4: Spend a little QT with hair tools.

Of course, it’d be amazing to just roll out of bed and have gorgeous, glossy hair, but getting the ‘do of your dreams requires a little more elbow grease—and some fancy-schmancy hair tools. “Use ionic flatirons and curling irons to defrizz strands. They also work better at sealing shine to the cuticle than non-ionic dryers,” says Marie Ferro of Marie’s Hair Studio. If you’re doing an at-home blowout, blast hair with cool air during the last two minutes to up the gloss and cool down roots.

Shiny Hair Rule #5: Heat-proof your hair.

Since we’re on the subject of ironing and blow-drying, spritz your hair with a thermal spray before you fire up the hot tools. It’ll protect hair from the heat and add a little gleam. Especially for curly girls, “Rene Furterer’s Myrrhea Anti-Frizz Silkening Fluid not only shields your wet strands but infuses shine as you blow-dry,” says says celebrity hairstylist Richard Marin.

Shiny Hair Rule #6: Avoid mattifying hair products.

Even though hair oil sounds like it would do something unpleasantly greasy to your hair, Moroccan Oil, Josie Maran Argan Oil and even coconut oil have been the latest, surprisingly feather-light style weapons of choice, says Ferro. This trick is to use very, very little at a time and, of course, avoid the roots that naturally get slick first. Shine-killers to avoid? Matte pomade (well, anything that has the word matte in its name should be a no-brainer!), dry hair shampoo and overworking your hairspray, says Tricomi.

Shiny Hair Rule #7: Invest in a good hairbrush.

You don’t need to brush your hair 100 times a day like Marcia Brady to achieve the shiniest strands, but you do need the right kind of brush to do the job. A paddle brush with a mix of natural boar and nylon bristles, like the classic Mason Pearson and Y.S. Park brushes, promotes shiny hair, says Tricomi. (All the hairstylists at the fashion shows use ‘em!)

Shiny Hair Rule #8: Get a sleek haircut (or tame your curls!).

Whether your haircut du jour is a short bob or down-to-your-waist Rapunzel ‘do, keep layers to a minimum. “One-length haircuts with a bit of a frame around the face refract light evenly and beautifully,” says Tricomi. Got a curly, layered cut? Keep your ‘do from looking all fuzzy by taming your hair: Post-shower, blow-dry with a diffuser, then use a curling iron to help keep rogue curls from jutting off in different directions.

Shiny Hair Rule #9: Keep your ends tidy.

For healthy hair, you must go for a trim trip every six to eight weeks, says Henriquez. By keeping those split ends at bay, you’ll prevent breakage from reaching the roots. A little trim goes a long way to help you and your hair shine!

Shiny Hair Rule #10: If all else fails, get a glaze.

For a long-lasting way to revive lackluster strands, try an in-salon glaze that will gleam for about six to seven weeks (and runs about $35 to $100). For a less-pricey do-it-at-home treatment, John Frieda’s Luminous Color Glaze gives a high-gloss finish to any hair color.

Fall Hair Trends Straight From the Runway

The Wavy Bob
While most designers opted for flowing manes, Jenni Kayne featured a chic and wavy bob with her fall collection. To create beachy texture with the help of hand drying and a few choice products, watch our step-by-step video.



Color Streaks
If you ever wanted to punk out your do, now’s the time. Alain Pichon (for Antonio Prieto Salon) gave models at Cynthia Rowley crimped streaks in blue and pink for a tough-girl look.



The Deep Side Part
The quickest way to mix up an old hairstyle: Change your part. To get the sophisticated look seen at Devi Kroell, make a deep part on the diagonal and secure hair at the nape of your neck. Smooth a small amount of gloss pomade over the top to cut frizz.


The Side Ponytail
Revisit your elementary school years with a variation on the ’80s side pony. Tracy Reese styled it with undone curls. You can imitate the look by taking cues from our easy updo video.

GOOD hair BAD hair!!!!!

So have you seen the movie "Good hair bad hair"? I was thinking about the movie and really wondered what good hair is?  The movie made a lot of since because actually their is no such thing as GOOD, or BAD hair.  Society has molded us to think that way but why? Of course because of the media but have you ever thought that maybe you had bad hair because it wasn't long and strait or maybe because it was black and you didn't have natural highlights.  Why do we critique ourselves so bad to the fact that we think something is wrong with ourselves maybe that's what makes us different from everyone else. It gives us individuality I like being different. I like to take ideas from different places and throw them all together. To step outside the box and create your own way is so much better than being like the rest.  So when I look in the mirror after washing my hair I'm not going to complain about why my hair sticks out 6 inches from my scalp creating a monstrous bush, I'm going to smile and create a style that looks better than the rest!!
