It’s time to talk all things hair! If y’all have been following me on instagram you know I have been on a hair journey… and I’ve found the ultimate routine for prepping and styling my hair for the week ahead! I try to go about 6-7 days between washes, and I’ve found that if I can get my hair in top shape on day one it typically can last that long no problem! I’m excited to be partnering with Target to share the Nexxus Weightless Style ProteinLock System that I’ve been using to get the ultimate style I love.

PREPPING MY HAIR!

Prepping the hair for styling is the most important step in my opinion because you want to keep your hair healthy. I always recommend using a heat protector before using any kind of blow dryer or styling tool on your hair! The Nexxus Weightless Style Prep & Protect Leave-in Spray is amazing because it has hyaluronic acid which is ideal for retaining moisture in the hair. It works by wrapping an invisible layer of protection around the fiber to lock in the hair’s essential proteins and guards it from damaging heat. It also is formulated to lightly condition the hair as well which is great for detangling long hair or just adding smoothness to all hair types.

I like to spay this in when my hair is damp before doing a quick blow out. I focus it on the ends and pull up different layers of my hair to make sure the product is applied evenly.

Next step is applying the Nexxus Smooth & Full Blow Dry Balm! This balm is a must have if you’re planning on doing any kind of blown out look because it really gives the hair body and movement while keeping it soft and shiny! This will add that extra polished look if you don’t plan on curling your hair after.

I like to apply this right after the Prep and Protect spray. I use a quarter-sized amount and work it into my hair focusing it on the middle and ends! Then I take my blow out brush (you can use a blow dryer and round brush) and quickly dry the rest of my hair!

- STYLING -

After I dry my hair I go right into curling it. Since it’s already protected from heat I can move right into getting my signature loose curls! I like to use a 1.25” curling iron and quickly curl my hair alternating towards and away from my face. I always start with the bottom section of hair and clip up the rest while I work.

Now here’s my favorite part… adding int he Nexxus Ultra Fine Hairspray! This is an amazing dry texture spay. Like truly love it and have been using it since I picked it up at target a few weeks ago. It’s been my go-to lately and I coudln’t recommend it more. It is such a weightless formula. I use it pretty much every day to freshen up my curls and it doesn’t build up over time and make my hair heavy at all. It’s an ultra fine mist so you never feel like you’re caking hair spray onto your hair - cause we are going for a loose BOUNCY curl.

After I finish curling my hair (keeping the curls untouched) I spay the Ultra Fine Hairspray on the middle and ends. Then I use my fingers to gently comb through my hair and start to break up the curls. To add extra texture and volume I like to lift up different sections of my hair and spay!

GOT Frizz or Fly-AWAYS?

I typically don’t have much frizz, but sometimes I like the ends to look a bit more tamed. The Shape and Define Multi-Styler is great for controlling flyaways. It provides a medium hold making it perfect for shaping & controlling short hairstyles, but I like to use it on the ends of my front pieces to keep them framing my face perfectly! It also can be used on damp or dry hair.

AND THER YA HAVE IT…

I’ve got great hair for days! But truly I’ve found that if I really take the time in prepping and styling my hair it tends to stay looking fresh all week long. Like I mentioned before I’ll continue to spay a little of the Ultra Fine Hair Spray each day to reset my curls each day!
