Cute Ways to Do Your Hair this Weekend!

Bored with your locks? Not anymore. We're dishing three hot ways to tame those tresses this weekend. Whether you're headed to a football game or on a date with your BF, our latest coif crushes have you covered.

Go for Sweetly Half Up
Psst: a half-up mane works on basically every girl and looks “fun and youthful,” says stylist Angelo David. Start with dry tresses. Use a comb to create a deep part (the arch of your eyebrow is a good point of reference). Grab a 1-inch section of hair and start twisting it along your hairline. Or, to re-create Lauren's look, try a braid instead. Ask your mom or BFF to hold the twisted section, while you repeat on the other side. Secure both parts together with a tiny elastic. Nix flyaways with some pomade.
 
Deck Out Your ’Do
We were psyched to uncover this line of pretty hair pins. Use them to sweep your bangs back out decorate a low-key updo. Such a great change from plain ol’ pins and adds a hit of color to your hair.

Get Smooth
Forget the frizz! Fall dates call for glamorous locks. When your hair is still damp, apply some anti-frizz serum. Then, blow locks out. Next, use a wide-barrel curling iron on dry hair to ensure you get a head full of bouncy curls. Hit with hairspray and quickly run a bristled brush over them. The result? Hair that looks like it belongs to a silver-screen siren. So pretty.

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD!! I just got my hair cut similar to the Bob 'n' Bangs in the Aug/Sep magazine and <3 it to pieces!!(side bangs and slightly shorter) My only prob is I am getting bored with just wearing it down and want some new ways to style it. I have searched through GL.com but have found nothing that I can do with my hair except leave it down. My hair isn't stacked in the back. Just light layers. The longest part of my hair hits just above collarbone length. Any tips would help bunches an bunches!! P.S: I am a new subscriber and <3 GL!


 


Hey chica! You could always twist back your bangs to the side and pin with a bobby pin, a la Lauren Conrad. Side twists are always cute! Or, you could have fun with a cute headband. H&M and Forever21 have lots Smile

@rosalia101 rubbing a fabric softener sheet on your hair will calm the frizz down! And you can also use a dime size amount of hand lotion in your locks and it will help you. (: the lotion won't make your hair look or feel greasy, but it gives it some shine! Hope it helped!

rosalia101: I use Aussie's Sydney Smooth gel, and that seems to help at least somewhat. Smile

MOd.
Are there any treatments to keep hair straight for a while? I know there are but I want to know so I could bring it up to my mom. Can't you get a relaxer for your hair? Or a Brazilian straightening system at a salon? But I've heard the Brazilian treatments can cause hair breakage and some of the ingredients in them could be cancer causing (formaldehyde) thanks! This will help a lot! And how long do they last? And would a short bob look good with my REALLY poofy hair that I can sometimes tame or a straight 'do? Gimme your opinion everyone!!! Thanks once again!!! (:




Hey girlie,

There are definitely chemical hair relaxers out there. Talk to your hairdresser about applying these - they usually do it for you and tell you all about how to care for it afterwards to avoid hair breakage, damage, brittleness, dryness, burning, etc. There is also the system you mentioned, which of course comes with its own effects. It's harsh on your hair and will definitely cause some damage because of the chemicals/heat/other things used. Anyway, the best thing to do is to talk to your hairdresser about ALL of the potential effects of these things. Weigh the pros and cons, especially based on how healthy your hair currently is. (If it isn't fried or damaged now, it'll bounce back better from any future damage.)




Personally though, I would stick to temporary straightening, following these tips that we know are safe! (Heads up, that contest is old.)

I have blond hair and a bunch of ringlets what kind of hair style should I go with when I get it cut? I really don't want it to be short though!
