Better for your hair. Better for the planet.
Tips For Styling Your Hair
1. Long Hair Styles
Sleek and Straight: You can’t go wrong with straightened hair. It might seem time consuming, but the truth is that you can straighten your hair once and leave it for a few days. We recommend making sure your hair is clean (and dry) when straightening, and we also recommend using dry shampoo in the days after creating this style, just to make things last a little longer!
Simple Waves: Here is a one of the best tips for gorgeous long hair: simple waves. To achieve this look, braid your hair in two different braids (almost like pigtails!). Spritz on a little hairspray on each braid, go to sleep, wake up the next morning and undo the braids. Done! Easy, super simple waves that took you all of 5 minutes to style.
The 80s Feather Farrah Fawcett: was known for her beautiful long hair that feathered out at the ends. We love this hairstyle and think it is slowly coming back in season! To get a less intense Farrah look, comb through your hair as usual and then take a flat iron to your ends. Curl the flat iron away from your face, creating ends that slightly stick outwards.
The Headband: Remember the easy days when all you did to style your gorgeous long hair was brush it and put a headband on? Well ladies, we’re here to tell you that this look is totally back in style. It is so easy we can’t believe it, and you can use cute headbands with sequins or bows for an extra pop of individuality!
The Curl Curling: long hair can take a while, we know, but similar to flat ironing it, you can leave the look for a few days without worrying about re-styling. Curl as usual, using your preferred heating tool, and use a mix of dry shampoo and hairspray in the days following to maintain your look.
The Half and Half: To get this super quick style, simply gather the top half of your hair and tie it back in a loose pony tail, leaving the bottom part of your mane free. It’s classic, elegant, and takes a few seconds!
Classic Bangs: If you’d rather have a hairstyle that does the work for you, try getting bangs during your next chop. They can be a bit tricky to get used to styling, but once you have it down, you’ll only spend a few minutes each morning (or less) on your hair.
Side Braid Braids are the lifesavers for long haired girls. You really can’t go wrong with a classic side braid, and it will be a perfect way to show off a slightly Parisian attitude!
The Bedhead: Okay ladies, we know you aren’t going to believe us when we say this, but you don’t have to style your hair at all. What? No styling? That’s right! One of the trendiest hairstyles these days is the “I woke up like this” look, which is as it sounds – wake up, maybe brush a comb briefly through your hair (or don’t if that’s your style), and done.
Side Part: Sometimes a hairstyle can be as simple as changing your part. If you’ve been rocking a middle part, try changing it up with a side part. It’s an easy hairstyle that will definitely change the look of your hair with almost no effort on your part.
Pushed To The Side: If you want a slightly more glam look with minimal effort, leave your long hair out as usual and just push it to one side of your head. If you want to pin it back to keep it in place, you can, but if you are fine with occasionally moving it back to the side, there’s no need to bother!
2. Short Hair
TIP #1: USE A SMALLER AMOUNT OF PRODUCT
Short strands still need leave-in hair care products (such as hair cream and hair serum), but don’t forget that they will require less product than your previously long(er) locks. This might seem obvious, but it’s worth repeating because using too much product can weigh down your short hair and make it look greasy. And nobody wants that! Instead, use a smaller amount of product and work it only through your lengths and ends.
TIP #2: USE A SMALLER AMOUNT OF PRODUCT
When you have short hair, it can have a tendency to get oilier at a quicker rate than longer hair, which makes sense when you think about it. After all, oil does come from the roots, which are much closer to the ends of your hair when your strands are short. Still, your hair will need moisture—especially if you’re amping up your washing efforts to combat greasy strands. To get fresh tresses without losing moisture, use a shampoo and conditioner system that’s formulated to replenish your locks, such as Vunella shampoo + conditioner bars
TIP #3: USE A SMALLER AMOUNT OF PRODUCT
Just because your strands are shorter now doesn’t mean that they don’t need as much TLC as when you had long hair! When your mane could use extra attention, swap out your regular conditioner for a deep conditioner, such as Vunella conditioner bars.
TIP #4: USE A SMALLER AMOUNT OF PRODUCT
Going in for a trim once or twice a year just won’t do if you want to keep sporting a shorter mane. You’ll need to make trips to the salon a regular thing to avoid an awkward grow-out phase. To stay on top of frequent haircuts even when life gets busy, book your appointments further in advance and lock them into your planner before you’re otherwise obligated.
3. Grey Hair
1. Stay Sharp
Get a modern cut with clean edges. Ask your stylist not to use a razor, because it can cause the ends to fray, making your whole style seem untidy and be sure that you get a trim every 6 to 8 weeks. Gray hair can start to look unruly if it's not trimmed frequently enough.
2. Protect your assets
Environmental pollutants and UV light can make any hair color—including barely pigmented grays—look dull. So wash at least every other day (to prevent buildup) with a hydrating shampoo and conditioner containing antioxidants, which help protect against UV and environmental damage
3. Wear gray-flattering clothing and makeup.
"When you see a really attractive gray-haired woman, she's often wearing charcoal and silver clothing, which makes her gray hair even more striking," says Galotti. You don't need to restrict your wardrobe to that color family, but black, white, shades of gray, and jewel tones (ruby red, sapphire blue, and deep purples) are your best bets. Avoid earth tones such as beige and olive, which can wash you out.
If you're going to commit to gray, the labor you save coloring your hair should be switched to putting on makeup, since gray hair tends to make your complexion appear dull. The best place to start? Blush. "Go for shades like apricot, peach, and rose—not beigy or tawny colors," suggests Gonzalez. "They make your skin tone look muddy next to gray hair." Use a liquid or cream blush for a youthful glow, rather than a powder kind that can leave skin looking dull.
4. Curly Hair
1. Always comb your hair from the bottom up.
Detangling hair from the bottom up allows you to gently detangle each knot, rather than compounding knots toward the bottom and yanking your way through.
2. Get regular trims to avoid split ends.
Damaged hairs are never a good look (not to mention split ends can make your hair frizzy!). If you want healthy curls that look bouncy and fresh, head to the hairstylist every six to eight weeks for a quick trim.
3. Try the "pineapple trick" to keep curls defined overnight.
Pineappling" is a technique in which the hair is loosely gathered at the highest point of the head, usually before sleep. This protects the curl pattern while helping your hair maintain natural volume while also preventing excessive bedhead. Simply take the pony out and give hair a shake when you're ready to wear it down.
To keep hair looking even more pristine between wash days, our experts recommend using a scrunchie for this technique to prevent hair breakage and ponytail creasing. And if you're not sleeping on asilk pillowcasealready, it's time to make the switch: These super-smooth pillowcases are proven to reduce bedhead by reducing friction on the hair overnight, which makes hair look sleek and hydrated day after day.
