Since you just posted about curling irons a quick question! When I use my curler I have a little trouble with my baby-hair/fly-aways, I get perfect culrs and a lot of fuzz XP I hidrate my hair a lot so its not that its dry or anything! Do you have a trick to prevent this?

Baby hairs are just a fact of life, unfortunately!  They are caused by new hair growing in, or they could be the leftovers of hair that was broken off.  Everyone has them, and yes… they are a huge pain!  

To help keep them less noticeable, use smoothing products before & after styling your hair, like an anti-frizz serum.  These help close the hair shaft and prevent humidity from expanding the hair, making it stick up!  You can try:

Dove Nourishing Oil Care Anti-Frizz Serum - $5

Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Anti-Frizz Serum - $6

Don’t use more than a dime-sized drop of these.. rub the serum between your hands and then lightly smooth your hands over your hair.

Another trick I like to do is to use hairspray… not all over my head, because I hate crunch, but just on an old toothbrush or a Q-tip, and use this tool to smooth down the baby hairs that stick up along my part.  This also works really well if you put up your hair in a pony tail and the baby hairs stick up along your hairline.

Hope that helps you and everyone else battling evil baby hairs!

Hi, I just bought the NuMe Curling Wand, Flat iron and mini flat iron set off of Hautelook for $79. :D I'm so excited, but my question being what heat protectant, flat iron, curling stuff do you use when using your curling wand?
◥		theophaniajewel

Hello!  Congratulations on your new baby!  haha you’ll love her!

Using heat protectants when styling your hair is probably the single most important and beneficial thing you could do for your locks, whether your hair is thin, thick, long, short, kinky, straight, and everything in between!  So I commend you for knowing the proper steps for caring for your hair ;)

My long-time favorite, ever since it came out, has been Tresemme Heat Tamer Spray.  It is lightweight and never gets greasy or heavy!

But recently I’ve been using Pantene’s BB Creme for hair, which does lots of wonderful things besides heat protection, like adding shine and moisture and taming/preventing frizz!

I think you’ll find that with a high quality tool like the NuMe one you’ve bought will work so well that you won’t need many more styling aids.  I can curl my hair with my NuMe wand (or any of my other tools) and the curls will last for two to three days with just a bit of hair spray!  My favorites at the moment:

L’Oreal Elnett Satin Hairspray - $7

Garnier Fructis Anti-Humidity Flexible Hold Hairspray - $5

Rock Your Hair Spray It Hard Big Volume Hairspray - $16

For straightening, you might want to add a finishing serum or leave in cream to keep your hair looking smooth and shiny.  For this I’ve been using the Pantene Ultimate 10 BB Creme recently as well, but I also like:

Dove Style+Care Cream-Serum - $4

Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment - $40

And also, now that you’ll be using a really high-heat tool, you’ll want to baby your hair to keep it healthy and strong.  Use deep conditioning treatments regularly and avoid prolonged sun exposure!

Hope this helps you!  :)  By the way, you can find these products at Ulta!

Gorgeous!

Hey ! I have a question on the color oops product you mentioned I'm your April hit and misses. I have naturally blonde hair that I have died more times then I can even remember. If I used this product, would it send me back to my natural color or back to the previous died color ?
◥		mcoutuu

Hello!

Well honestly I’m not sure.  I can only state from experience that I dyed my hair bright red about 6 times (over 4 months), and then went back to blonde using this and it performed really well, except for it didn’t take me right back to the color I had before - it was a more yellowy shade that I wouldn’t really want to walk around in by itself.  If you’ve been dying your hair for years, it probably will make your hair the same yellowy shade, or it will take out your most recent color, but it won’t get you back to your natural shade unless you use it a couple of times, I would imagine.  It takes out your most recent dye job (but as I said, it took 6 applications of red out of my hair, so I think it does more than just the last coloring).  If you’re planning on dying your hair blonde, it will help you significantly.  If you’re just wanting to be natural, it probably won’t work that way!

Hope that helps haha!

Starburst Crown Braid

How do you deep condition your hair? What are some "recipes" to use? Is there any difference in deep conditioning different types of hair (mine is very thin). thanks in advance!
◥		streetpugs

Deep conditioning is really simple, and there are many ways to do it yourself and create at-home recipes with tons of benefits.

All you have to do is apply the conditioner to your hair until it completely saturates all of your strands.  Now clip it up, and wait the proper amount of time (anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour).  Some you can rinse right out, others you may need to use shampoo to fully remove any oil residue.

Here is a post that mentions a few of my “bottled and sold” favorites *click*

When it comes to making your own, I recommend using one or mixing 2-4 various ingredients that will help smooth, hydrate, and add shine.  Here is a list of household products that I like to mix and match to create different treatments:

• Olive oil
• Coconut oil
• Honey
• Egg whites
• Tea tree oil
• Banana
• Avocado
• Mayonnaise

Heat up and mix one or a few of these items together until the combination is liquidy and easy to apply (let it cool a bit before putting it on).  Then leave on as long as you want!

All of these ingredients will nourish and soften your hair, but some have added benefits for people with certain issues.  For instance if you have brittle hair, using ingredients with protein (like egg, avocado, etc) will help build up your hair’s strength.  If your hair really lacks shine, choose oils or oily products (mayonnaise, coconut oil).  Tea tree oil helps relieve itchy scalp and dandruff.  Coconut oil is the best at restoring moisture, because the molecules are small enough to really penetrate the hair shaft.

Because you have thin hair, the only precaution I may advise is to not apply the conditioner too close to your scalp (unless you suffer from a dry scalp, then rub that stuff in good!) because they can be difficult to wash out (I’d shampoo and rinse twice).
