Wake Up to Gorgeous Hair!

Now that school is starting again, time becomes more of an issue when it comes to your beauty routine. Now that my college classes have started back up again, I've started showering at night before bed which allows me at least another half hour of beauty sleep at night--which is very important when you're attending classes all day and taking tests, doing papers, and reading copious amounts of material. When I first started doing this, I didn't know what my hair was going to look like when I got up since I go to bed when it's wet. I found some great tips to share if you wash your hair at night to make sure it's ready to be styled in the morning!
I found these tips from Oprah.com!

Wake Up to More Volume

1. Spritz all over with a volumizing spray.
2. Pull it all into a high pony at your crown and twist the tail-winding it onto itself to create a loose bun. 
3. With a few long bobbies, pin the bun in place. 
4. In the morning, let your hair down and finger comb (using a brush creates frizz). 

Wake Up to Waves

1. Apply a light mousse from roots to ends.
2. From hairline to nape, divide your hair down the middle with a comb, separating it into two equal sections. 
3. Braid each side from the middle down. 
4. Secure the end of each braid with a metal-free elastic. 
5. Pull out the elastics or pins in the morning and unwind your hair. For a beachy effect, mist a salt spray all over your hair and scrunch with your hands. 

Wake Up to Less Frizz

1. Apply a light leave-in conditioner and use a wide-tooth comb to distribute it to your ends. 
2. Part your hair down the middle. Divide each side into three smaller sections. 
3. Starting at the bottom of one of the smaller sections, create a pin curl by wrapping the ends up and over two fingers as you would a foam roller and continue winding up toward your roots. (This prevents curls from tangling or catching on your pillow at night.) 
4. Slip your fingers out and secure the pin curl to your scalp using a clip. Then repeat steps three and four on the other five sections. 
5. Remove the clips in the a.m. and lightly spritz your hair with water to soften curls and eliminate static. 

Tips to Tame Your Frizzy Hair

I have a lot of friends who have curly hair. It always looks so gorgeous, but their biggest complaint in the summer time is how frizzy and unruly their hair gets from the heat and humidity.
I'm going to share some tips with you. If you have curly hair, follow these simple ideas to keep your hair tame in the heat. If you don't, share it with somebody who has curly hair and they will appreciate it!

1. Use cold water after washing your hair and using conditioner. This can be uncomfortable after a nice, long hot shower but the cold splash of water smooths the hair cuticle.

2. Use a good moisturizing product to lock in hair moisture from inside out.

3. Use a wide tooth comb instead of a brush. It helps to detangle the hair and evenly distribute conditioner.

4. Prep your hair before shampooing it. Some people use different kinds of oil and some prefer the old way of combining egg and mayonnaise. 

5. Switch your hairdryer to the "cool" setting and use a diffuser at the end of it.

6. When finishing up with washing your curly hair, don't rub a towel on it to help it dry. This will create more frizz! Instead, pat your hair gently!
