Beauty Tips for You!

TheHaiRazor’s Summer Hairstyles & Tips

Summer can be such a lovely season. Pool parties, BBQ’s, the beach, vacations, there’s so much that summer can offer us. Then there’s summer and our hair… interesting combination. It’s hot, we’re hot, we’re sweating and our poor hair is suffering! You may be fed up and think that hey, I just won’t look cute for the rest of the summer. That’s not the case though, there are many tips and tricks that can save your hair from this heat! Check out a few styles  and tips that I’ve put together that can keep you going for the rest of the summer.

The Pixie/Messy

If you have  short hair or want to go short, messy pixie cuts are fun and easy for summer. Just a little hair wax, mess it up and you’re good to go! I wear my hair like this all the time and I take about 5-10mins to style it!

 

The Messy High/Low Bun

It’s so funny because sometimes I wish my hair was longer to achieve this style! I LOVE the messy bun! It’s a fun a quick style that still gives  you a “pulled together” look. Just finger your hair up into a messy bun and go!

The Sleek Bun

If you’re not a fan of the messy bun, then the sleek bun is for you! All you need is gel/styling pomade, a brush, ponytail holder, and a few hair pins. Brush your hair until its nice and sleek. Place it in a ponytail then wrap the hair in a circular motion. Add a few hair pins to keep the hair in place and you’re good to go!

The Beach Waves/Braid-out

The Beach wave/braid-out style is where you cornrow or braid your hair in individual braids at night or whenever you want, then take them out and have natural waves. This style is very popular among women with natural hair. You can also achieve this style if your hair is relaxed or naturally straight.

The Sleek Ponytail

When all else fails, there’s the sleek ponytail! This super easy style just requires you to brush your hair back, high or low, into a sleek and chic ponytail!

The GREAT thing about all these styles are that they don’t require any heat! That’s right, no flat irons, curling irons, NADA!

A Few Summer Hair Tips

  1. Cover up! Hats and scarves are great ways to protect your hair from the sun’s rays.
  2. Use heat protecting sprays! Just mist a little on your hair and it can help a long way! Some great ones are CHI Iron Guard and Joico Silk Results Thermal Smoothing Spray.
  3. Hold off on too much product! You don’t want gunky oily hair, it’s not cute! :-)
  4. Deep Condition! Try to deep condition more in these summer months. The more moisture on your hair, the better! My favorite is Paul Mitchell’s Super Charged Moisturizer.

I hope these tips help to keep you sexy and cool for the rest of the summer!

TheHaiRazor Fall Beauty Tip: Humidifier Please!

It’s officially fall and the cooler weather is taking a toll on your beautiful skin. Everything’s all dry, itchy, and probably patchy for some folks. If you’re having these issues with you skin, it’s time to invest in a good humidifier. For those who don’t know what a humidifier is, it’s a household appliance that increases moisture in your home. So if your skin is feeling tight, dry, etc, it’s time to save your skin and invest in a good humidifier. You can pick up an humidifier from your local hardware or super stores.

TheHaiRazor Hair Tip: Switch Up Your Wrap!

It’s a standard routine for most women of color each night – wrapping your hair. You pull out your paddle brush and silk scarf and go to work, wrapping those locks, long or short, around your head. As time goes by, you notice that your hair feels a bit thiner on that one side that you constantly pull across the front of your head during your wrap. We hardly think to look at the way we wrap our hair. Wrapping your hair isn’t bad, it’s the way you do it. Instead of wrapping you hair going towards one direction all the time, switch it up! Every other week switch the direction you wrap your hair. This technique lightens the stress pull on your hair and will stop the thinning on that one side of your head. So remember, Switch Up Your Wrap!

TheHaiRazor Beauty Tip: Cuticle Care

Keeping your hands well groomed is very important. I can tell a lot about a person by just looking at how well they care for their hands. A quick and easy way to keep your nails and cuticles moisturized is by adding a little Vitamin E in your life. It’s easy, just apply the Vitamin E oil to your cuticles and massage it in. Do this daily and you can have fabulous looking hands, BUT don’t forget to add in a few manicures! :-)
