Try the following:

Straight

Sleek, straight look is something that’s always in style and can be very easily achieved by running a flat iron over your hair.

Natural

Naturally curly or wavy hair, apply a little styling mousse and wear it natural. A little product to the rescue!

A side braid

One of fashion’s hottest looks right now is a stylish way to wear your hair back and still look cute.

Bun

A messy bun looks effortlessly chic and is very easy to create. It’s really only one step more than a ponytail. Just don’t make it too messy

A chignon

A chignon is another classic look that is practical yet pretty. Check out the how to videos on my blog for step-by-step instructions.

Wear a headband

With so many cute headbands available right now, if all else fails, just put one on and go…

A clean head of hair does feel fresh and smells great but over-washing can have your hair looking and feeling like straw, not cute!

FACT: The average person’s hair grows less than half an inch per month.

Long hair that has been getting lots of shampooing, chemical treatments, blow drying, tends to get dried out and dull at the ends and can even break off.

How often you need to shampoo depends on 2 things:

• How oily your scalp is
• Your hair’s texture

Oil (aka sebum) - travels more easily down smooth, straight hair, making it look greasier faster. Sounds a little gross, but sebum helps moisturize and waterproof the hair shaft.

When you wash every day, you typically strip off this natural moisturizer and then have to slather it back on in the form of commercial conditioner.

Shampooing a couple of times a week is plenty. On gym days, try simply rinse with water instead of shampooing and finish with a light conditioner to detangle. Shampooing does stimulate the scalp, which brings blood flow and healthy nutrients to the hair follicles. So, if you have time a gentle scalp massage and regular brushing with a good quality hairbrush will work fabulous.

TIP: Choose a shampoo, that is formulated for your specific hair type whether it be oily, dry, limp, curly, etc. for the best results.

Now go get your shine on…

How to get your Fishtail Braid on:

• Pull your hair to one side, but don’t secure
• Then you divide your hair into two equal pieces.
• Take a small piece of hair from under one of the pieces and wrap it over that section and under the other.
• Repeat, alternating sides through the length of the ponytail.
• Secure with a clear, rubber band.

Below is a diagram that is a clear visual of how to do it…

While getting regular trims are great to keep your hair healthy, monthly snips won’t turn you into Rapunzel

FACT: Hair grows about half an inch every month regardless of whether or not you trim it.

While cutting ends will prevent damage and encourage stronger, healthier hair, it doesn’t make it grow faster. However, healthy hair does appear longer, since you don’t see dry, damaged ends.

TIP: Visiting your salon every 8-12 weeks is definitely KEY to maintaining healthy long locks!

Cut your hair short. Mid-length hair in long layers is best and most flattering during this time.

DO:
Get highlights instead of regular color. The highlights only touch the shaft of your hair and not your scalp.

DON’T:
Slick your hair back. Instead try a messy up-do or a pretty side pony.

Dita Von Teese

Reese Witherspoon & Charlize Theron

Being that she has captured the lead role in Snow White and the Huntsman, the hair is only part of her costume. For her upcoming movie Snow White and the Huntsman the Twilight actress is going to really look the part and maybe needed the long hair to possibly tone down and make her strong features a little more Fairy Tale-ish. Definitely a great look for her!

I love long, hair and hope more women are inspired and grow their locks our for the Fall…
