Best-Kept Hair Secrets

To create volume...
Mist your roots at the crown of your head with a volumizing spray when your hair is dry. Then blow-dry the section of the hair in the opposite direction that it normally falls while using your fingers or a brush to lift the roots up and over. Once dry, flip the hair over and gently smooth it out with a brush. You can do this on small sections around your entire head for even more major results.



For a swept-up look...
Begin with a shine-enhancing shampoo and conditioner like Pantene Pro-V Ice Shine to make hair look extra-glossy. Blow-dry hair in sections with a large, round brush. For side-swept bangs, first take the front section and blow-dry it back with a large, round brush and "swoop" it to the side. Apply a drop of smoothing cream on the ends and finish by misting hairspray all over for hold.



For beachy waves...
Start with towel-dried hair and apply any kind of volumizing product to your roots. Put a quarter-sized amount of styling cream on your ends, working in small sections for even coverage. Take a small section of your hair and twirl downward, repeating all over your head. Blow-dry by pointing the dryer down toward your head a few inches away from hair, twirling sections around your finger. When you are finished twisting each section, scrunch your hair while blow-drying to amp up the volume and texture. For a more defined look, wrap sections of hair around a medium-sized curling iron.



To keep waves bouncy...
Most hairstylists recommend sleeping on a satin pillowcase to help keep your hair from getting matted, tangled, and frizzy. Cotton cases tend to have coarser texture, which can rough up your hair, especially if you're tossing and turning all night.

Pay more attention to your scalp...
It's your ticket to healthier, stronger hair. Switch to a shampoo and conditioner, like John Frieda's Root Awakening line, which contains eucalyptus, menthol, and peppermint oil to stimulate your scalp. It also helps if you massage the suds into your head with your fingertips to stimulate blood flow to your roots.



Hairspray is your friend...
Unlike the old-school formulas that practically glued your strands together, modern sprays add hold without stiffness in addition to doing a bunch of other great things that include increasing shine, fighting frizz, protecting against heat damage, and shielding color-treated hair from UV rays.



To style with hairspray...
Mist sections of hair with a flexible-hold hairspray before wrapping them around a curling iron or running them through a flatiron to lock in shape.



For a better blowout...
Wrap a section of hair around a medium-sized, round brush, then dry the roots in the opposite direction from the way they naturally fall. Once the roots are dry, direct the hair dryer down the hair shaft to smooth out the rest of the section. When you're finished, run your fingers through your hair to bring all the sections together. The end result? A bombshell blowout.



For sleek and shiny hair...
Apply a lightweight leave-in conditioner on damp hair before drying. For medium to thick hair, apply a bit of styling cream to keep strands smooth. Use a flat brush to go underneath your hair and keep the dryer aimed downward. When the section of hair is almost dry, switch to a round brush so that you have some bend at the ends. If it's humid outside, mist your hair with a protective styling spray and run a flatiron from your ears down.



When curling your hair...
Leave the bottom ends out for a more messy, beachy feel. Skip the styling products and separate waves with your fingers.


Just because it isn't warm out doesn't mean you can't wear beach waves.



To prevent waves from drooping...
Curl sections and twist them up, securing with clips. Let them set while you do your makeup for a long-lasting hold.
