ALL ABOUT BEAUTY: Oh So Soft

All About Beauty

I don't think that there is anything better than finding hidden pockets in dresses, finding the perfect pair of jeans or that feeling after getting a new haircut. Part of that excitement is just having something new and the other is something that just feels amazing! Out of all things, we can most definitely all relate to having a new haircut and secretly trying to catch a glimpse of it every minute of the first day, making sure its still just as fabulous and silky as you left the hair salon.

When I encountered this Fashionista, I instantly thought of that happy, perfect-hair moment we have at hair salons and its lasting effects throughout our week. Our moods change, our clothes looks more well put together, our face is brighter — everything is just perfectly balanced. She too showed a calm state of mind with her cropped top and high-waisted black gingham shorts, comfy leather boots and bag and her sleek, ultra-soft hair. It's like she walked straight out of the salon!

To achieve a “just-cut” look, you'll only need a couple of things. With the weather constantly changing, you may be surprised to know that your hair experiences a lot more damage than usual. The crisp winter air may leave your hair feeling dry so it's best to start off with a treatment that will restore life into your hair before you go about your usual shampooing and conditioning. Redken's All Soft Argan-6 oil is perfect for brittle hair and can be used before or after shampooing. In fact, it has six different uses for protecting your hair when you need it the most, whether you're washing your hair, blow-drying it or sleeping on it, make sure to oil it up!

When you're ready to shampoo and/or condition, keep in mind that spending a few more dollars will ultimately make a huge difference. John Frieda has a wonderful “full repair” collection that truly revives dull hair. Before you shampoo, remember to brush through your hair thoroughly — yes, before! That is because wet hair is more prone to breakage and weakness and we'd like to save as much hair as we can, right? Lightly comb through afterwards, wrap your hair in a pretty silk scarf and you'll wake up to soft, magazine-worthy hair everyday.
