Day 5

Day 5 is straight and sleek with a far side part.  This works for short and long hair.  Something as little as going from curly to straight can completely transform a look.  Start with applying a heat protectant, I also like to use a drop of oil on the ends.  Make a far side part, flat iron and you're done! 

Items needed:  Flat iron
                        Heat protectant (I love Davines Melu thermal protecting shield)  
                        Multifunctional oil for protection as well as shine ( I love Davines Oi/Oil)
                        Pin optional
                                   

After adding product, flat iron in sections

Day 4

Day 4 is an easy style, it works with both short and long hair.  It's a natural look worn with the hair down, but keeps hair out of your face.  I start with large hot rollers to give hair fullness and a slight curl.  Spray hair with a dry shampoo.  Next, I take a part right above the temple to just before the crown.  Contain the hair in a clear elastic.  

Items needed:  Clear hair elastic
                         Dry Shampoo (I like Oribe Dry Texture)

Large Hot Rollers

Add dry texture spray, part above temples

Wrap with elastic band-you're done

Day 3

Day 3 is a side braid.  I am showing a fishtail-it's so easy.  This is best on shoulder length and long hair.

Products needed: 1 hair elastic, I like the clear ones.

 I start by parting my hair on the side.  I like my hair in curls when doing a side braid.  It blends seamlessly with the braid and it also helps to keep the braid together.  A fishtail is done in the same way as a traditional braid, but it is sectioned in just 2 parts.  Bring a small piece from one side, joining it to the other side.  Continue until you reach the desired braid length.  You're done!

Day 2

Day 2 is beachy waves.  This works for short and long hair alike.  Every product line today has a spray salt, or beach spray item in the line.  My favorite is Oribe Apres Beach.  

Items needed:  Beach or salt spray

Starting with towel dried hair, add the product.  Take 3 sections on each side of the head and twist the hair.  Big sections encourage bigger waves.  Let the hair air dry this way.  When dry, rake your fingers through and you're done!

Day 1

Day 1 is the top bun.  Perfect for shoulder length hair and longer.  The top bun is perfect for a Monday morning.  

Items needed:  Dry texturizing shampoo (my favorite is Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray)
                         Elastic pony tail holder
                         2 bobby pins

Spray hair with Dry shampoo-Pull hair into elastic band at crown

Loosely wrap hair around band

Pin hair at base with 1 or 2 pins

 I like to add statement earrings to finish the look.  You're done!

Hair x 5

Many of my clients have been asking me for advice on different ways to style their hair.  We all can suffer from boredom.  Since my clients are too shy to have me take their picture, (you know who you are) I will show a different style each day this week on my hair.  Don't panic!  They will be easy to replicate...
