5 cute ways to wear your hair this winter

Check these out, too...

  • The biggest OMG celeb moments of the week
  • Get perfect beach waves without setting foot on the sand
The holiday season brings all kinds of events for you to attend, babes. Winter dances at your school, family gatherings that Mom wants you to look completely adorbs for, or just mall days with your best girls. We’ve compiled our top five fave hairstyles for you to rock into the new year.


Blake’s braid

To get Blake’s style: Spritz hair all over with texturizing spray to give it some hold. Gather hair to one side and craft a quick fishtail braid (it doesn’t have to be perfect!). Use your fingers to loosen the braid a bit, then mist with hairspray to keep flyaways at bay. Add a sparkly clip at the top!
 


Sel’s sultry curls

To get Selena’s style: Work a volumizing mousse into dry hair, then wrap 2-inch sections of hair around a 2-inch barrel curling iron and repeat all over. Lightly comb through hair with fingers and loosely shake out curls. Rub a bit of pomade on a few pieces to give added definition, finish with a shine spray to make it glossy. Gorgeous!
 


Ashley’s sleek ‘n’ straight tresses

To get Ashley’s style: Coat wet hair with a thermal protectant, then blow dry using a paddle brush to smooth out strands. Use a salon clip to pin up the top layer of your hair, then run a ceramic straightener over the bottom half. Let the top half down and repeat. Finish with a quick application of hair oil to keep things sleek.
 


Keke’s cool waves

To get Keke’s style: Smooth styling cream over tresses, then curl 2-inch sections with a 1-inch barrel iron, leaving a few pieces straight to add texture. Lightly shake out spirals and finger brush to create soft waves. Add a side part!

 


Nina’s perky pony

To get Nina’s style: Brush dry hair into a high pony, leaving the front sections free. Make a middle part with the front pieces, and pin length behind ears, gathering longer pieces into your high pony. Spray with a light mist of shine-enhancer.

MOD MOD ok so do you have any suggestions for people with sort of long thick and somewhat frizzy but not curly hair? THX!




Hey girlie,

Try the shine serum in this article to zap frizz, while practicing Blake's messy braid, the messy princess bun, or dressing things up with awesome accessories... all styles that are great for thick hair Smile

Mod Mod Mod! I have a semi tonight and I just realized that I'm not gunna have anywhere to put my phone. Does that mean I have to carry it all night or should I just put it in my bra? What do I do?

Hey girl,

Why not just bring a purse? If you don't want to carry a bag around all night, you could leave your phone with your jacket, carry it or even just leave it at home. Do you really need it at a dance anyway?

I really want to get the underside of my hair dyed but my mom will say no when I ask she won't even think about it how can I convince my mom of letting me get it dyed even just a little and how expensive is it to get the underside of my hair dyed plzzzzzz help ASAP




Hey girlie,

The price will vary at all salons - try walking to your local salon and asking for information, if you were to get it done. Then go to home to mom and talk it over. Tell her you know she's kinda against it because it's different and some people might think it looks weird, but that you really just want to try something new and think it could be fun. Explain what you want to do, then see if you can compromise. If she doesn't like getting it dyed an unnatural color, try asking for highlights, a simple streak, a dip-dye (so you can cut off the ends after a few weeks), or using a temporary color. Just be mature about it, stay calm, and tell her you want to compromise because you really want this, but you also want to respect her. <3 Give it a try!

My hair gets greasy super quick(like a day or so after a shower)and I normally take a shower so it can look non-greasy. I want to buy dry shampoo but haven't got a chance to got to the store to buy any. Any tips?




Hey girl,

Certain types of hair gets greasy quickly - if your hair is thin, for example. But there are some ways to slow that process down! Try washing your hair with Aussie's Cleanse and Mend. One of my friends has oily hair and loves it! You should also avoid conditioning your scalp with conditioner - just apply it to the ends, because it can make your scalp greasy fast. Tresemme and Garnier make great shampoo/conditioner duos for oily hair too Smile
