Spray In Dry Shampoo - Try It!

Have you tried dry shampoo yet? Here is a list of my four favorites and why I like each of them.

1) UNITE 7Seconds Dry, Solace Salon. Cost: $23
2) TIGI ROCKAHOLIC Dirty Secret Dry Shampoo, Ulta $19
-Both are great for the gal that wants her hair to feel clean and doesn't like the feel of product. Neither of these two dry-shampoos will greatly increase your hairs natural volume but you will feel and look clean. Both quickly absorbed oil and have nice citrus scents. The difference between the two? Unite 7Seconds Dry is made of more natural ingredients.

3) OJON Rub-Out Dry Cleanser - This is my favorite travel product. It even comes in a mini size that you can carry with you in your carry-on bag. Great for the gal that wants clean hair and some volume but with little residue. This product quickly absorbs oil, and smells wonderful. By just spraying this in daily I was able to go for FIVE days without washing! (Side note: I did have to re-curl my ends)
Buy at: Sephora MOA. Cost: $21

4) UMBERTO Dry Clean Dry Shampoo - Great for the gal that wants tons of volume. You will feel it in your hair; its a little gritty. And you may have to go back and brush spots to blend in the product. But you will have instant mega volume. I even use it on my crown when my hair is clean for a backcombed effect. Buy at: Target Cost: $9

NOTE: When using dry shampoo, shake regularly while using, to keep the ingredients well mixed. If the nozzle clogs, flip the bottle upside down and press the nozzle side to and back and forth until it unclogs.

Long Hair - Quick Styles.

Here are some ideas for you gals with long hair!
(Click on photos to see them larger.)


Side part with bangs twisted and pinned (works best if you curl the bangs first) or side part with braid (works best if you put dry shampoo in the bangs first).

Headbands or just pinning the bangs to the side works too.

Your bangs driving you nuts? Backcomb or spray them with dry shampoo (and crown area if you like), gently brush back, spritzing with hairspray as you go and pin into place.


Half up with a little teasing in the crown is a quick way to do something different. And a great way to show off fun earrings!

Long Hair - Ponys, Braids and Twist

The sleek pony, placed mid head or higher says: confidence! (But NO scrunchies allowed!)

The low pony is soft and feminine.

And my personal favorite: The messy pony with the teased crown.


Braids are all the rage. French braids, side braids, random braids or even Palin's half braid. For curly haired girls twisting and pinning small sections can give the look of a braid without creating fuzzies.

Long Hair - French Twist & Buns

Buns have come along way. The look great high or low with a few loose hairs falling out.

Or try a twist AND a bun! the bottom is twisted and the top is a loose bun!


A french twist, messy or smooth is as classic and ageless as it gets.

Long Hair As We Age

What is the key to keeping our hair long as we get older?
3 key things:

1) Not too long. Somewhere between the collar bone and the arm pit. Some women can go longer if they have lots of natural volume, or backcomb. Height on the top of the head can balance the longer length.

2) Layers are important. They give the hair volume and help to take the focus off the chin and neck areas. (Earrings also help draw attention away from the neck and chin area)

3) Use a styling iron or large curling iron to give your bangs, fringe and crown area a little bounce. (Sponge or Velcro rollers work well too - put them in as soon as your done blow-drying and leave them in till the hair feels cool to the touch)

4) Bring out your eyes and cheeks. Wear a little extra, or a little darker eye make-up. And put the focus on the last places that wrinkles, your cheeks! A warm coral or peach on the apples of the cheeks draws the eyes up and gives a youthful glow.
