Hair Styling Tools

Bad hair day?  Too hot for your trusty baseball hat?  Regardless, a girl has got to have options!  This five minute updo is a perfect addition to any bad hair day repertoire!

-Skip the brush and use your fingers to gather dry hair into a low ponytail.  Fasten with an elastic band.

-Next, twist the tail and begin wrapping it around the elastic.  Use a bobby pin and secure in place.

-With an aerosol hair spray, mist all over.  Gently rough up the bun to give it that loose, undone feel.  If you are uncomfortable with too many flyaways, use some hair serum and dab them on on those unwanted strands.

-To top off the look, slip on a headband.  The hair behind the band will bump up a little and will add a dressier finish.

Oh no…you sit up straight in bed and realize, you’ve overslept!  You have a meeting in 20 minutes and your hair is a tousled mess!  What do you do?  Skip the shower and do the Beat the Clock Blowout!

-Spritz the roots of your dry hair with a volumizing spray.  Flip your head upside down and blast your hair for a full minute with your hairdryer.  Then part your hair on one side. 

-Using a rounded flat iron or large barrel curling iron, begin working in about three inch sections.  Run your iron from roots to ends, making sure to gently curl the ends under.

-Finally brush your hair through to blend sections and smooth any flyaways.  If need be, dab some of your hair serum on the flyaways if brushing your hair through doesn’t do the trick.  Finish with a light mist of flexible hold hairspray.

From bed head to polished in under 10 minutes?  You may have to start sleeping in more often!
