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!

So I have REALLY poofy hair, and none of the anti-frizz products work on my hair. I know for a fact that a flat iron works to get my hair to actually lie flat, but my mom always tells me that I should be proud of my curly hair, and then gets all mad at me whenever I even blow dry my hair straight. I have no idea how to ask my mom for a flat iron, and I really want one before I go back to school, so how should I ask?




Hey girlie!

Just sit down with your mom and calmly explain why you want the flat iron. Be mature and let her know that this is something you really want. You don't always have to flat iron your hair, plus that'll cause damage anyway. So make sure you tell her that the straight hair isn't going to be an everyday thing but just a way to make your hair manageable for you. She is right, you should be proud of your curly hair, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to wear it straight every now and again either!

My hair is thinning out. I'm getting bald spots in my hair. And my hair seems to fall out really easily, for example if I just brush my hands through my hair. What can I do to stop the hair fall.

 

Hey girl! Go to the doctor as soon as you can.  Hair falling out isn't normal, and it's def something you need to talk to a professional about. xoxo

@Fashionista9400: Same here! My hair can be pretty thick sometimes. I try to reduce its "hugeness" by getting layers in my hair and straigtening it. It works!

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
