Tuesday Tips Link Up

Hello Everyone! O how I have missed all of you! I took a brief break from blogging because of having my wisdom teeth out and YIKES I was not feeling beautiful, more like a chipmunk! But, I am glad to be back without my teeth but maintaining my wisdom.

Today on the blog I am linking up with Just Jacq . She is doing this awesome Tip Tuesday edition of her blog and this week I am her co-host. What else would Scissorhands talk about besides beauty, so today I am sharing my TOP 3 hair tips on beating the summer hair blues.
Friday, I took my Frankenstein to meet his favorite wrestler... the very sexy CM Punk, for his 31st birthday. This included standing outside all day in line in the blistering heat. I kept thinking about how my hair was holding up so well and it is probably all do to a combination of these 3 tips below. See for yourself!

Not to bad right??

TIP 1:

Have you ever had two parties at once on a busy and hot July Saturday? Even worse an outside afternoon wedding then evening reception? I know without a doubt that I have and normally my big concern is how crappy my hair will look by the second party.  Well fear no more ladies, I have perfected the method for good hair all day! 

First, complete your normal styling routine whether its curling, blow drying or flat ironing. Second -HAIRSPRAY. Which one your probably thinking? Any anti-humidity is good but my personal favorite is Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray-Strong Finish ($22.20). It has a great hold but doesn't leave the hair feeling crunchy like so many other sprays out there and helps fight frizz!

 Once you have gotten yourself together you are going to pack a small to go bag, include in there a brush, your hairspray and the sercret weapon to all day great hair.... Sauve Professionals Dry Shampoo($2.88).

 

After party Number 1 hold the dry shampoo can about 10 inches from your hair and spray it ONLY at the roots. I primarily spray at the nape of the neck were sweat loves to build up and at the front hairline. The dry shampoo is great for grabbing oils and drying them up. Rub in any excess with your fingers and the brush through your hair to have a just styled look. 

TIP 2:

Do you have beautiful curly hair but find yourself looking more like a Chia Pet as the day goes on?? Frizz can be so hard to manage and even tougher in the summer. Before styling when your hair is wet  try adding one of my favorite products, Miracle Leave-In Plus Keratin .($14.46-AMAZON) 

It adds shine, detangles, replaces keratin, protects against heat, gives moisture but most importantly it closes and seals your cuticle layer making it more difficult for your hair to frizz! It will act as your first level of protection, hopefully what ever gel or mousse you are using is also an anti-frizz/ humidity product making beautiful, shiny curls a possibility all day! 

This is also great to help restore the hair after a long day of water activities. Helps to smooth and condition  the hair so that the chlorine won't leave it feeling like straw!

 

TIP 3: 

This is really one of my number one tips! If you are looking to curl your hair, wave it with an iron, or even flat iron, are you blow drying it first?? Well, stop it! Let your hair dry naturally first!  When your hair is wet add in the It's a 10 Miracle Leave-In Spray, and just let it dry on it's own. Normally, I will wash and spray at night and  let it dry to help cut down on my prep time in the morning. 

Why is that ? Well, how often do you realize that after you have finished blow drying, especially in the summer, that you need to go over your hair with a flat iron anyway because of the frizz?  When blow drying your own hair one of the hardest things to do is smooth out the cuticle- or outside layer of the hair strand. It is so hard to blow the air down the hair strand, which is necessary to close that cuticle, as opposed to up  the hair strand which roughs it up, because our arms just do not bend in away that it is comfortable to stand there and do it for 20 plus minutes. 

So, by letting your hair air dry prior to styling with an iron, you are protecting you hair from excess heat and helping to prevent additional frizz.  Once your hair has dried then go in and start styling it. This is also great because one of the worst things about summer is being under your blow dryer when its 90 degrees out side!

That pretty much sums it up! Do you have a summer styling problem? Ask away I'd be happy to help!

Thanks for reading and Stay Beautiful,

How It Works:

Tip Tuesday is a linkup party where you will have the chance to share your tips and advice on that week's theme. I will post the themes for the next month towards the middle/end of the previous month so that you have time to get your posts ready. This is a relaxed linkup-- if you have a past post that you're particularly proud of and follows the theme, feel free to use it! I only ask that you still create a new post to link back to this linkup. The following Tuesday I will choose my top 5 favorite tips and share it with you. If you are one of the top 5 chosen, I will email you by Monday letting you know so that you can brag about it to your readers!

Why should you link up?

Who doesn't love finding new blogs to read and forging friendships? It's pretty much why we all blog, am I right? But Tip Tuesday is more than finding new blogs.
