Beauty Buzz: Do the Wave

Oh it’s about that time of year again. You know, the warm weather we have been wishing for but then curse it when it gets here. “It’s too hot.” “This humidity is killing me!” You know what I’m talking about.

On a positive note, it’s time to bust out the sundresses, strappy sandals, and shades.  While you overhaul your closet, tucking your sweaters away and positioning your short shorts front and center, it’s also time to tuck your flat iron away. Stick straight hair for the summer is just too fussy, not to mention that it is a completely futile effort.

It’s time for sexy, wild wavy beach hair. How do you get this Gisele hair without looking like Amy Winehouse you ask? A few simple tricks will get you on your way to looking like a mermaid who just found her legs and crawled out of the ocean to meet her Prince Eric.

After you wash your hair, apply a salt spray/wave spray to damp hair. There are several different options out there. I like Bumble and Bumble South Surf Spray andFrederic Fekkai Marine Summer Hair Beach Waves. Then wrap hair in a loose bun and pin in place.  Allow your hair to dry in and unpin when hair is mostly dry.  This will create loose waves.  Touch up any wonky strands with a large curling iron. Make sure to leave the ends out because you don’t want it to look like pageant hair. Mist with hair spray and tousle with your fingers. Voila! You are a sexy sea maiden.

Some will suggest creating this entire look with a curling iron, but I don’t believe it stays as well and it is also causing unnecessary damage to your hair (not what it needs during the humid summer months).  If you have super straight or fine hair that just will not curl, I suggest using a wave iron like this one.  I warn you though, use it sparingly in order to avoid looking like a crimped poodle. Not even close to hot.

Beauty Buzz: Work it!

As I’ve found a new found love for the gym (it’s an elevator ride away, plus… I’ve got a lot of free time on my hands these days), I’ve also discovered a little something that will aid in your fight against cellulite.  It’s not a magical potion or cream- it’s been proven that the best way to rid yourself of cottage cheese is good old fashioned exercise.

Remember Fit Flops?  Well, Reebok has come up with a sneaker that uses the same type of technology, which means that while you’re working out, you’re doing double duty (for your booty)!  The Reebok Easy Tone uses little “pods” built into the bottom of the shoe to create “instability” which forces your body to be working even when you aren’t working it. It targets three areas (the areas that all of us worry about) your glutes, your hamstrings, and your calves. Bonus- they’re cute too!

Beauty Buzz: Hair Repair. 911!!

You know I love taking vitamins and my vitamins are helpful in maintaining my long lustrous locks, but as of last week, my hair was looking mighty wonky.  I had split ends out the wazoo and my hair was feeling a bit more like straw than silk.  Emergency!!

One of my bff’s (she’s a bit of a beauty junkie and has perfect hair) told me about a new product from Paul Mitchell called Super Strong Liquid Treatment, but after searching the web and a few local hair salons, I came up empty handed.  What’s a girl to do?

I hit the local Duane Reade (which I now know is named Duane Reade because the first one ever is located on the intersection of Duane and Reade Streets in Tribeca). After looking at the $58 Kerastase conditioner, I grabbed a much cheaper version from Neutrogena at a whopping $7.98.  I figured I would probably get what I paid for… but was very pleasantly surprised.  After just one use, my ratty ends are now smooth as butta’, baby.  Phew! Crisis averted!

It seems that you guys really love big hair- almost as much as I do.  The day that I posted about “Bump Its” was the busiest day we’ve ever seen over here at WDYWT.  So, to thank you, here’s more big  hair:

Remember when Drew Barrymore wore her hair like this to the Golden Globes? And remember how she then wore it the same way in several consecutive interviews promoting her new movie, Grey Gardens?  I’m still trying to figure this look out.  What do you think prompted her to decided that this was a good style for her?  I love big hair as much as the next gal – but really?

Here Drew is again… with more bad hair.  Do you think she has some Bump Its under there?  I just hope that she is on her way to the salon and saying, “Peace!” to her bad hair days.

Beauty Buzz: Bump Up the Volume

Okay, so this product kills me- in a good way.  We were watching TV a few weeks ago when this commercial came on and my boyfriend said, “Babe, that’s just like you!”  I burst into laughter because he was totally right.

The product is called “Bump Its”and they are used to give you a nice big bouffant.  I didn’t realize there was really a market for this kind of product.  I honestly thought me and my bff who now lives in LA but grew up with me, were the only people on the planet who actually did this to our heads.  Now granted, I am from the south and have been sporting this look since I could use a comb, but it still cracks me up.

This is a picture from their website with the “Bump It” in place. You can get your very own “Bump Its” for $19.99 or you could always just do it the good ol fashion way- with a comb and some hairspray.
