One of the hottest trends for the holidays will be texture. The full, textured, bouncy hair screams party, party, party! To get the look:
1. Apply Bb. Styling Balm to clean, blow-dried hair.
2. Wrap 1 inch sections of hair around a curling iron. Twist each section as you wrap.
3. After curling, allow strands to fully cool. Then break up curls with your fingers

How to Create a Last-All-Day Braid

Braid. The word is enough to conjure a mental explosion of everything from simple pigtail plaits to runway-chic twists and coils. Today we are going to share tips for keeping your braids bountiful and beautiful.

1. Creating thick and full looking braids on thin or fine hair is tricky, try using Bb. Hair Powder and/or Surf Spray. It will add bulk to the hair, plump it up and give fine hair more grip so it doesn't slip out.
2. If you need more volume or length on your braid try adding extensions.
3. Take your time. Every braid takes time, even messy-looking ones! Hair braided well will look better and last all day, a rushed braid looks rushed and will fall apart quickly (not in a good way!).
4. Finishing with a hairspray is a must! We recommend Bb. Classic Hairspray for its strong hold, plus it will help with flyaways and protect hair from the elements.

semisumo

We can't help but keep blogging about Semisumo. We love it so much and we want you to love it too! Semisumo is a finishing product for use on dry hair and when used alone gives polish and control. Spread through fingers, work through dry hair to tame, define, detail and add shine.

• Layer it under Hair Powders as a base for the powders to adhere to for a matte affect.
• Use to calm down a blow dry.
• Use after hairspray to loosen any 'do or updo.
• Use on long hair to tame frizz and add polish.
• Use on short hair for texturizing and detailing.

hair how-to: classic bun

When it's too hot outside to even look at a blow drier we love being able to throw our hair up but still look chic and pulled together. We loved this high bun on Cassie Scerbo at the Teen Choice Awards. This style will add a few inches to your frame and will show off your face perfectly.

1} We've said it before but when you are pulling your hair up it's better to do it on dirty hair. It will hold better and last longer. If you're starting on dirty hair skip to step #2. If you're starting on clean hair spray Thickening Hairspray all over then blow dry hair completely.
2} Pull hair into a high ponytail (on your crown) and secure with a hairband. Rat your ponytail then twist the hair around itself to form a bun shape. Secure it with bobby pins.
3} Use your hands to smooth the hair into place and finish with Classic Hairspray. A great option for when you're in a hurry or need a cute looking 'do on the fly!

hair how-to: side chignon

You may have seen this hair how-to floating around the blog-world but I couldn't help but share! This is a simple, elegant side chignon. Very classic and super chic.
1.} Start by spraying hair with Tonic Lotion followed by Thickening Hairspray. Use a round brush to blow dry hair smooth. You could also do this style on second-day (or dare I say) third-day hair.
2.} Once completely dry use a large-barrel (around 1"to 1 1/2") to create waves from ears down.
3.} Tease the hair gently at the crown to create volume and height. Spray with Classic Hairspray.
4.} Gather hair into a low ponytail. Twist it along the nape of your neck, pinning as you go.
5.} Once you've twisted to your ear, shape the remaining hair into curls. Pin them back over the twist.
6.} Finish with Classic Hairspray. Voila! Pin It
