My Hair-Styling Necessities

March 11, 2011 By tiffany Leave a Comment

Ever since I got my haircut, I’ve been obsessed with finding the perfect products to keep my hair healthy, manageable and easy to style. The Ojon hair treatment has been amazing at giving my hair the health and shine that I (and a lot of women) crave. I use it once a week to maintain shiny, pretty hair.

Whenever people ask me how I get volume in my hair, I direct them to my secret weapon, dry shampoo. From drugstore to premium brands, they all work great, but for styling purposes, I prefer the spray-in over the powder. Spray the dry powder in at the roots and tease lightly with a rat-tooth comb. There you go! Instant volume.

To give my stick-straight hair some curl and texture, I absolutely love the clipless curling iron. I’ve always used a regular clipped curling iron to curl my hair, but ever since I discovered the easy way to create waves, the clipless curling iron has been my go to. My trick to get pretty waves rather than big curls is to hold the wand downward, wrap the hair, and hold it for 10 seconds. The gloves may seem silly, but they are necessary, as I’ve burned myself a few times when I thought I could do it without them!

And the last thing that I love, an absolute essential, is this Philip B. Maui Wowie Beach Mist, which works so well in maintaining your style while still keeping your hair soft. Just spray through your hair and scrunch for that “messy on purpose” kind of hair.
I’m still much better at styling long hair. I’m only just learning how to style my shorter, shoulder-length hair, but those products have worked well for both lengths. And if you need help with curling your hair, then check out my tutorials on curling your hair with a flat iron or how to get glam curls.
