New Years Eve Hair / How-To

Hey guys! Happy New Years Eve Eve! Today's post is about the hair I'll be wearing for the New Years Eve Holiday. I decided to go really wavy with it, which is a bit out of my comfort zone, but I think it turned out nicely. I also wore a variation of this hair style to one of the Christmas parties I attended and people seemed to like it!

1. First off, I comb out my hair and spray it with a heat protectant. My favorite is the Tresemme Heat Protectant Spray, it helps to protect my hair and it smells really good to boot!

2. Next up, I take my Remington Diamond Shine Slim Wand, which has a .5 - 1 inch wand, and start curling my hair. {I love this curler, and if you're interested in curlers like this there is also a great alternative from Con-Air that I love.} 

3. To get these waves, I take small section of my hair and wrap them around the wand away from my face, and hold them for about 6 seconds. This gets the curls the perfect tightness and also allows me to be able to comb them out later.

4. After I've curled my entire head, I put two sprays of the Uniq One Hair Treatment in my hands and brush through my curls with my hands, really massaging the product in. This is one of my favorite all-in-one sprays because not only does it help protect your hair, it also keeps it shiny and pretty and defrizzes everything! 

5. To add more volume, I first tease the top section of my hair {to do this, all you have to do is backcomb your hair} and then I also spray some of the Batiste Dry Shampoo to add an extra bit of pop. I love this product because it's tinted for those with Brunette hair {like me} so you don't get that annoying powdery look on your newly done-up hair!

6. Lastly, I do one more comb through my hair using a brush, to make the curls look a lot more natural and then I spray some of the Tresemme Fine Mist Hairspray in my hair, which helps keep the curls in place.

That's it for my New Years Hair How-To! I hope this helped a bit, or gave some inspiration for your holiday hair. Tomorrow I'll share some of my dress picks for the holiday plus my makeup look :)

Hair MAGIC!??!!??

Hellllooooo friends! Happy last day of June! I can't believe that this month is already over, it seems like yesterday that I was finishing up classes and getting into the swing of summer. I can't imagine how fast July is going to go by :(

Sorry for being a bit MIA on the blog this weekend - I had some surprise family visitors who I hadn't seen in awhile stop by and so I was just spending some quality time with them! 

But...back to the blog! Today I'm going to be talking about my absolute favorite hair product - I think ever. The beauty I'm talking about is the Uniq One All in One Hair Treatment. It's this amazing spray for your hair that has 10 Real Effects that treat your hair, keep it healthy, and make it shine. 

The 10 Real Effects:

1. Repair Dry and Damaged Hair

2. Shine and Frizz Control

3. Heat Protection

4. Silkiness and Smoothness

5. Hair Color Protection with UVA and UVB Filters

6. Easier Brushing and Ironing

7. Detangling

8. Long-Lasting Hairstyle

9. Split End Prevention

10. Adds Body

And I can totally attest to these 10 benefits. It does every single one of them. I cannot tell you how healthy, beautiful, and smooth my hair feels and looks after I use this. It's my favorite product and I think I could honestly live without any other product if it meant I could keep using this forever. 

I spray this in my hair when it's damp, usually after my shower and you really don't need much. It immediately shines and detangles your hair, as well as gives you a pump of volume. It also smells fantastic but that's just an added bonus.

I've been using this for a little over a year. My aunt, who is a hairdresser and owns her own salon, used this in my hair and then gave me my own bottle and it's been my go-to product ever since. I love, love, love this stuff and absolutely recommend it as a kind of all-in-one, everything spray! 

Recently, they came out with a limited edition Coconut Uniq One spray and I love that as well. It makes you smell like you've been hanging out on a tropical island and does everything the original spray does.

This costs about $20 depending on where you get it but it lasts such a long time and is such a fantastic product, I really never mind buying this!

What are your favorite hair products?
