Hello loves! Long time no post. I have been posting majorly
on my social media accounts and collegefashionista.com! Be sure to follow me on
social media! Links all below. I get a lot of questions about my hair so I wanted
to dedicate an entire blog post to my go-to hair routines and products that are especially adored during the school year.
First off, let’s talk about the hair type. My hair is
naturally wavy. A few months ago I started going blonder with my hair so it has
been bleached and colored. My roots are my natural color but the rest is a few
shades blonder than my natural hair.
With going blonder there is obviously some damage that has
been done to my hair so I have been extra careful about how much heat I used on
it, to use hair masks and to treat it with extra love! When I don’t have to use
heat on my hair, I don’t. For these days I use fave4 Up for Air Dry Cream, Reactivating Milk Spray and fave4 Flex Reflect Spray. Together these products help eliminate frizz and polish my natural
waves (which can get a little crazy at times.)
The hairstyle you will typically catch me sporting is my
go-to beachy waves. I get a lot of questions about how I curl my hair. When I tell people how I do it people are normally surprised at how simple it is! It is all about the tools you use. So listen up:
I use a large curling wand or iron. This Hot Tools one is
my favorite and this one from target is a more affordable option. The key to my
beachy waves is using at least a 1 inch barrel. I do not curl the last two
inches of my ends for an effortless and messy look. I keep my hair on the
barrel for about 10 seconds then release and voila! It really only takes me
about 15 minutes so it is perfect to make yourself look polished for school
because you can catch a few extra minutes of sleep in the morning. ;)
Top 3 Takeaways:
1. Avoid heat when possible! Use a texturizing spray and cream when rocking natural locks.
2. This one is for my blonde babes out there, make using a brightening/purple shampoo and conditioner a ritual.
3. For my beachy waves use a 1-1 1/2 inch curling iron leaving the last inch or two out of the iron.
