Hey awesome ones, Heather here. Well in about the last year I found ways to
really make my curly hair stand out beautifully. I it used to be just a
mess of frizzies but I found some great products to really keep it under control.
Now you've probably seen me in a lot of videos kind of looking like this
with my straight hair. I gotta say I love my straight hair too. So I'm going
to show you what I do to get the curly locks and also the straightening and
it's all gonna start in just a few seconds.
So the best way to get good looks with your hair of course is you've got to
have a good cut. So get yourself a hair stylist or a hair cutter that you really
like and take care of all of those frizzy split ends and damaged hair first.
Oh and by the way as most of you know I am growing out my natural silver hair
and I just loving it. It's almost completely my silver color right now and
you know if you're one of those people that you got the white stripe coming
through here, you know the white roots and you're doing a lot of excessive
coloring and that sort of thing, well you might want to check out...I did a video
and I had an amazing colorist helped me. And she let me film how she was really
allowing that color that blonde color that I had kind of mesh with the silver.
I'll put the link up there for you. You can take a look at that later. Now if
you have naturally curly hair or even if you don't. You might have the perfect
match for your shampoo and conditioner but may I suggest these are...and I know
these are their gigantic size...but these are the award winners for 2015 the allure
beauty award and it's called Davina's. I think that's how they're pronounced and
this is the shampoo and also the conditioner. My color is nuonuu. So
here's a smaller version of it. These products are not tested on animals and
they have no parabens or sulfates. It's just a wonderful product and you know
what just to let you know too, it doesn't get all sudsy. There's a little bit of
suds but yeah it doesn't really do that. And after it dries...honestly you've
got this beautiful...I sound like an infomercial I know I know, but I love it.
I really do. And if you have gray or silver or white
hair they also have this purple shampoo. It's especially made for silver hair.
You don't use it all the time. You use it maybe every four washings...something like
that. It really helps to cut down on the brassiness and you know the dullness
that you usually see in in the silver hair. Oh and by the way some of these
products they're a little hard to find. So what we're going to do is we're going
to put links below to them and we're going to try to find the exact products
if we can for you. And you never pay more than the store is offering with the
links. And I have to tell you this, we make a little bit of commission, and I'm
happy to tell you that because with all of the support that you're helping us
with, it just keeps these videos going. So after I've washed my hair and
conditioned it, what I have is one of these micro fiber turbines, have you seen
those. Where you just sort of put your hair in...I know this is going to look
weird and anyway you just sort of tuck your hair all in and then you put it up
to dry. Now there also is...and a lot of you talked about it...the curly girl method. So
you may want to google that. That's kind of a cool way to let those curls fly as
well. So once my hair is like half dry either naturally letting it air dry or
maybe in the microfiber turbine that I just showed you, it's time for my secret
weapon. My secret weapon is John Frieda Frizz Ease. And I'll tell you if you've
got the flyaways and the frizzies this really is a secret weapon. What
I do with this is...I just put about I would say, maybe a teaspoon full about
that much on my hand. I just kind of rub it in and then I just
put it all through my hair and then let it finish drying. Now if I want some
luscious curls, generally in the morning, I usually wash my hair at night and it's
usually maybe a couple of hours before I go to sleep. Do you know that some people
like me get a headache if they go to bed with their hair wet. And so does my
daughter. So just a little tip there. The next morning what I usually do with
my hair is I kind of dampen it a little bit and then I use this great product
from Marc Anthony. It's called Strictly Curls. I put about...just about a
teaspoon of that on my hand and I just kind of mix it together and I start the
scrunching. I just kind of scrunch and scrunch and my naturally curly hair just
instantly kind of appears. I've got a really smooth, really smooth look there.
And even if you don't have naturally curly hair like me, you know the scrunch
method, do you remember the 80's when we did the scrunch method. Well it actually gives
you some nice little waves. So you might want to try it out. Now if you are you
know...I don't use hairspray that often and but when I do I use the Schwarzkopf
Ultime. I am probably not pronouncing this right but it's a really
nice hold. And if I'm going to a gala or party and I want a really a little extra
you know oof with my curls, I will use this. Okay so I showed you how to get the
curly hair but what about the straightening. Well I've got a lot of
curly product on my hair but wish me luck. I'm going to show you in
just a few seconds how I straighten my hair. When you're doing this...
basically the shampoo the conditioner the anti frizz product they all stayed
the same. You just don't use the curling product. So let's just pretend that I've
washed my hair and I put on the anti frizz secret weapon. What's next? Well
what used to be next was my well loved, you can see it was well loved flatiron. And it was
a good... it's a good iron. It's got the ceramic Flatiron there. I used to use
this all the time but I found something even better.
It's a straightening brush. I'm not sure how this works but somehow it uses
ions to straighten the hair. There's also a ceramic plate that heats up as well
and it also cuts down on the frizz. Now there are adjustments on the side for
how hot you want it to be and please follow the instructions because this
gets really really hot and maybe if you have a lot of coloring in your hair or
product in your hair it might be a little bit too hot for you. So read the
instructions on this. As you can see there's some nice teeth here. And all I
do is I just comb my hair through. I sometimes...oh look at that. Love
it. So remember I've got a lot of curling
product on my hair so I don't know if this is going to work but generally what
I do is I just sort of make the hair a little bit
taut. I guess the word is taut. Give it a little bit of a pull here and can you
believe how fast I'm just straightening my hair. Now I'm gonna go ahead...check
that out eh.......
All right so what I generally like to do...don't worry this is just product not my
hair burning off. It's just product if you're seeing a little bit of smoke there.
I usually don't want it like super super straight like this. That's why I also
love this brush. I can kind of go on the inside and give it just a little
bit more of a curl and I really really like that. It can sort of come in a
little bit. Now I'm gonna go and finish my hair and I'll be right back with the
cuteness factor. So considering all of the curling product I had on there, it
turned out not too bad. And as you can see I'm able to kind of bring it in a
little bit with that brush which was a little harder with the flat iron. What I
also like to do is with my straight hair again another John Frieda product, this
is Frizz Ease extra strength serum and it's really kind of like an oi...I
don't know if you can see that okay but it's kind of an oil product. And again I
just put it on my hands and it really... if there are any flyaways...it really helps
to protect that and just gives kind of like a little bit more shine to the hair.
I didn't forget it's time for the cuteness factor. Our little dog
Hurricane. Hey Hurricane. How are you? Hurricane you have beautiful hair. He
doesn't need a lot of products but aren't we lucky that we can just...you
