Week of Great Hair: Weighty Wednesday!


Samy Fat Hair “O” Calories Thickening Shampoo, $7, samystore.com
 
Perf for girls with...
Fine, limp hair
 
Product promises...
The flat-on-top-of-your-head hair is a difficult style to pull off for most gals. We’re always on the search for the perf product that’ll give fine, limp hair that boost of much-needed oomph to the roots. This shampoo claims to create envy-inducing thick and healthy hair. We're crossing our fingers!
 
Ingredients we heart...
Thickening Complex, a blend of natural extract and protein
 
Real-girl reviews from the GL Buzz Babes...
GL's Buzz Babes tested this shampoo for seven day straight to dish the REAL down-low on whether it works. (CLICK HERE to sign up to be a Buzz Babe.) Read on for their reviews!
 
“My hair feels thicker, stronger, shinier and softer.” –Ellie R.
 
“The scent smelled really good. My mother even noticed it and said my hair smelled really nice.” –Dakota B.
 
“My hair was very thick to begin with, but I do believe it was thickened slightly. Girls with thinner hair would obviously benefit more than I did.” –Kayla C. 
 
“I would recommend it to my two friends that have very flat and fine hair.” –Natalie T. 
 
“I have really thin hair to begin with, and I noticed a slight change! It wasn’t dramatic, but I think it did something [great] with my hair.” –Dakota B.
 
“It has a lemon-lime scent that is different and refreshing.” –Kassidy M.
 
GL shower tips for creating volume:
  • Focus on conditioning only the ends of your hair. This is the part that needs detangling! Plus, the more products you have on your roots, the more those roots look weighed down.
  • Blow dry hair upside down. This allows the roots to dry and cool in an upward position, creating instant lift.
  • For mega volume, blow dry the top of your hair after putting them into hot rollers.
 
More full-bodied faves:
  • Garnier Fructis Style Body Boost Root Booster Spray, $7, amazon.com: Spray this texturizing spray onto your roots to give your hair a body boost!
  • Neutrogena Triple Renewal Weightless Conditioner, $6, amazon.com: This conditioner uses featherweight conditioners and amino acids to help restore fullness and volume into the hair.
  • Tresemme Tres Two Extra Firm Control Hair Spray, $5, walgreens.com: A neat trick for instant volume? Try flipping your hair upside down and misting this product all over for instant fullness and body!

MOD! Okay, so I'm going to a formal social gathering next week. It's going to have teenager and their parents. I'm going to be wearing a tan lace dress and tan heels. How should I do my makeup and hair?? Thanks!!! P.S. MY mom only let's me wear natural colors so nothing dramatic Smile

 

Hey chica! Stick to neutral, but dusty shades.  Pink lids and a really shiny lip will look awesome! Also, try hair half up half down and curly if you can! xoxo
