Daily Makeover™ REFRESH, REINVENT, REPEAT!!

I use a really good conditioner and a cold water rinse.

What I do to make my hair look GORGEOUS!
- Shampoo every other night
- Condition every night
- Straighten it(using a protectant!)
- Ocasionally curl it
- Treat it like it deserves to be treated!!! :)

I like to shake things up and change my "do" regularly. I use Herbal Essences "straight" and a good quality straight iron for straight days and either "tousle me" or "curls and waves" for a quick, fun look. My hair has a natural wave and I can get away with scrunching in those products after a wash.

Posted 9:44 AM on 04/13/2011

I give my hair a hot oil treatment once a month.

Posted 10:28 AM on 04/13/2011

To make my hair gorgeous, I wash it only every other day, limit heat exposure (no blow-drying for me!), take vitamins including Biotin, and I don't weigh my hair down with too much product. All of this lets my hair's natural beauty shine through!

Posted 10:44 AM on 04/13/2011

To make my hair look absolutely fabulous I keep it clean with limited heat. Just enough product to protect it while I'm outside in the wind and regular trims every 6-8 weeks :)

Posted 10:55 AM on 04/13/2011

I wash my hair every other day and never really use heat styling, but when I do I use heat protector. I love love love Herbal Essences!!!

Posted 10:58 AM on 04/13/2011

I shampoo every other day, but the days I skip I rinse my hair with cold water and put some conditioner at the ends. And after every wash i do a rinse with vinegar and cold water to leave it shiny.

Posted 11:09 AM on 04/13/2011

I wash my hair daily and use a leave in conditioner and hot iron spray before styling.

Posted 11:17 AM on 04/13/2011

I always get comments on how healthy and shiny my hair looks. I think the most important thing is to start with a good conditioner. I use Herbal Essence Hello Hydration. I have tried many other conditioners that were more expensive and none compared. Also don't over dry or over color your hair and keep it trimmed.

Posted 11:50 AM on 04/13/2011

Since my hair is at an awkward length because of illness, I rely on the color and luminosity of my hair to make it look and feel good. I rely on deep conditioning weekly and rinse with cold water as well as a vibrant hue of red, just enough to get noticed without washing me out.

Posted 11:56 AM on 04/13/2011

I use apple cider vinegar as a hair rinse. Use one part cider vinegar and two parts water. This is great for stengthening, adding shine and reducing product buildup!

Posted 12:18 PM on 04/13/2011

I wash my hair every two days so It keeps natural oils to add shine.
NEVER blow dry!
After each rinse i add an oil to my hair along with a leave in conditioner and heat protectant.
Since i only add heat every two to three days it looks soft, shiny, and healthy!

Posted 12:45 PM on 04/13/2011

I have very fine hair & less of it now in my 40's :( I have to wash it daily & have found that volumizing shampoo & moisturizing conditioner r my friends :) I have also discovered that Mouse really helps to volumize my hair style & have used Kenra hairspray for yrs. Winning this would be so awsome! Thanks for the chance :)

Posted 12:57 PM on 04/13/2011

I dont really have special or secret for my hair but i do wash my hair everyday. Shampoo everyother day and conditioner most of the time. After shower i let it dry with air dry. Nver a blow dryer. I barely use heating tools. I apply tiny drop of serum to make it have a little volume and i trim the end every 3 months. Also i dnt forget to eat fish and fruits. Someone told me it helps to grow stronger and healthier. And it is actually healthy and stronger ^_^

Posted 1:15 PM on 04/13/2011

I condition and shampoo my hair, and I straighten it, which usually lasts two days. My hair is naturally very curly and thick, so I stay away from volumizing products

Posted 1:26 PM on 04/13/2011

I always try to use natural products on my hair, and that's the reason i stick to herbal essence shampoo and apart from that, I've never used hair sprays or gels. I condition my hair with natural ingredients like olive oil, almond oil, henna, yoghurt , egg for protein boost and beetroot juice.
My mantra to gorgeous hair is to keep it natural and use nature's best products to keep your hair healthy and glossy.

Posted 1:39 PM on 04/13/2011

I wash my hair only every other day and minimize heated drying time by allowing it to air dry for the most part. This keeps my hair healthy and reduces breakage and damage!

Posted 1:54 PM on 04/13/2011

My tricks to keep my fine but thick wavy hair looking awesome?

-Wash hair every other day (use dry shampoo to combat the greasies!)
-Condition only the ends so it won't weigh my fine hair down....limp hair is the worst!
-Before getting out of the shower, I will douse my hair with cold water for shine
-Brush from the bottom up when out of the shower to prevent breakage

Posted 1:59 PM on 04/13/2011

First, I get a good haircut. I've recently found someone who understands my hair. Then I use quality hair products to make it continue to look good. I am the happiest with my hair then i've been ever!

Posted 2:35 PM on 04/13/2011

About two years ago I cut a good 13 inches off my hair, since then I'm working on growing it out again. I have thin hair so washing every other day, or every couple of days, is sometimes just out of the question. To keep my hair shiny and healthy I ...

Drink lots of water and get my daily dose of fruits and veggies

I wash every other day when I can

I never brush my hair, I always use a wide tooth comb, especially when the hair is wet

I apply a damage control, or breakage protector to my hair right after the shower

My hair is very straight and I like to use a straightner to keep it sleek but I always use a heat protector and only straighten the peices that are unruly

I use a deep conditioning treatment at least once a week

I try to protect my hair from the wind, wind can do a lot of damage, especially now that the weather is warmer and the windows are down, I always keep my hair in a ponytail or tucked back when I'm in the car and always use metal free hair ties.

:)

Posted 2:42 PM on 04/13/2011

I wash my hair very other day and use a heat protecting spray if I straighten it. Now that the weather is getting warmer, I love wearing my hair in its natural wave that looks tousled and beachy!

Posted 3:02 PM on 04/13/2011

I use olive oil overnight before washing my hairs in the morning

Posted 4:31 PM on 04/13/2011

I shower with warm water and shampoo my hair with the pink touchably smooth Herbal Essences, of course! I shampoo, rinse, then condition, rinse. I shake my hair out and pat it with a towel. After I spray my slightly damp hair with a Garnier Fructis triple nutrition spray... To add even more shine and smoothness to my hair. Then I let it dry by itself and brush it frequently, or I let it dry a little then blow dry it using a big paddle brush also! Then... I'm complete!! Thanks to Herbal Essences adding moisture, smoothness, and a beautiful scent to my hair!:)

Posted 4:34 PM on 04/13/2011

__Shampoo every other day

__Condition everyday

__Use a deep conditioner once a week

__Let your hair airdry as much as possible, avoid heating tools if you can; if you can't, use a hair protectant before each use

__Don't comb hair when it's wet. It causes more breakage.

__When you comb out your hair, work from the bottom up to prevent more breakage.

__If you can't wait a day to shampoo, use a dry shampoo.

Posted 5:10 PM on 04/13/2011

It took me 40 years to find a shampoo and conditioner that really works on hair,
when I say works I do mean looks healthy , smooth and shiny!
My daughter is 14 and she refuses to use anything else but Herbal Essences .
She's the one that introduced me this wonderful product. She's also very particular about which one!
Our hair has never look this healthy before, not even using very expensive products!

Posted 6:22 PM on 04/13/2011

I wrap plastic wrap around my hair with the conditioner still in for fifteen minutes then rinse with cool water to help make it softer and shiny. Also my hair is naturally curly so I never completely dry it.

Posted 6:36 PM on 04/13/2011

I try new DIY hair treatments about once a month. I'll try things from honey and olive oil masks for conditioning, spritzing on lemon juice for highlights, baking soda whie shampooing for volume, and many other things! For basic care I shampoo with Herbal Essences Body Envy, and condition with the purple Hydralicious conditioner.

Posted 7:41 PM on 04/13/2011

To have beautiful hair - first get a great haircut. Then take care of your hair, keep it clean and conditioned especially if you use heat or chemicals on your hair. Finally nourish that hair from the inside by eating right and drinking plenty of water.

Posted 8:03 PM on 04/13/2011

I get up every morning and:
-wash my hair (with Herbal Essences totally twisted shampoo)
-condition my hair (also using totally twisted conditioner)
-lightly towel dry hair
-apply Herbal Essences long term relationship split end protector
-apply a small amount of Aussie mousse with leave-in conditioner
-spray on tousle me softly tousling spray gel
-blow dry hair (with diffuser)

And that's what I do to get my long curly hair looking good every day

Posted 8:43 PM on 04/13/2011

I wash my hair two times a week.
Before washing, I comb my hair free of tangles
Washing my hair (warm water):
I let my hair wet for 90 seconds; I do this by bending forward so that the water hits the back of my head. Doing this lowers the possibilities of getting dry top layers, which end up eventually looking dry. By bending forward to wash you hair, you are making blood rush to the scalp, which promotes hair growth. After the 90 seconds, my hair and scalp feel soaked which facilitate the washing routine.
Next (bending forward), I use the Pantene Restore Beautiful Lengths shampoo only on my scalp. I get about a quarter size, rub it on my hands, and pat it around my scalp. Then i massage my whole scalp with my finger tips. Then I rinse it off. The second and last round of the shampoo is a little different. I get the same amount and also pat it before i massage it, but this time i leave the lather on my head for 2 minutes; this is so that the shampoo does to my hair what it is supposed to. So the first wash is to remove any sebum, dirt, oil...and the second is for the shampoo's purpose. The lather that falls on my tips, I squeeze it gently so that it touches my strands evenly, without rubbing it, then I rinse it off.
Next (not bending), I use a hair mask (Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Hair Recovery Mask); this is only once a week. After shampooing, i gently blot my hair with my hands. Then i get a quarter size of the mask and add 2 drops of vitamin E oil, i mix up the two products by rubbing them with my hands. Then i put the mixed products on my hair (from my neck down) and gently distribute the products with my finger tips. I give my fingers no force (they are limb) so that they do not pull on any tangles my hair may have gotten. Once that section of my hair is covered with the mask, I run my fingertips across my scalp to distribute the little amount of product left on my fingers. I put on a shower cap and leave it on for 10 minutes.
I rinse off the mask and oil with semi-cold water and blot the water with my hands. Once my hair is a little damp, I divide my hair into two sections (left and right of face). I get a pea size amount of Herbal Essence Long Term Relationship Split End Leave-in Protector, rub it in my hands and distribute it with my finger on one of the sides, then i do the same to the other side.
To finish distributing, I get my wide toothed comb and comb my hair working from tips to roots; that way i do not pile up the tandgles and end up pulling more than necessary.
The day that i do not use the mask, I use the matching conditioner (Pantene Restore Beautiful Lengths) and a do the exact same thing as i do with the mask: add vitamin e oil, leave for 10 minutes, and rinse with semi-cold water. I let my hair air dry. Once my hair is completely dry, I use Palmer's Moisturizing Body Oil (a pea size) on my hair (neck down). I rub the oil in my palms until my hands are all covered up, then i rub it on my hair for Shiny, Frizzless, Moisturized hair! This product is really rich in many useful oils (Soybean, Safflower, Sesame)
Appliances:
I do not blow dry my hair more than 1 time within the course of 2 months. When i do, i use Tresemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray (heat protector). I love the fact that it is rich in Vitamin B complex, which is healthy for skin, hair, and nails! I blow dry my hair pointing the blow dryer toward the ends of my hair; this way i ensure i get the most shine and least frizz possible.
I use the straightener as often as i use the blowdrier, excluding my bangs (i have to use it there more often due to it being a little too uncontrolable). When i use the straightener, I use the same heat protector. After straightening, I use my blow drier in cool mode to close the cuticles for shiny hair.
Maintenance:
I use cuticle scissors to cut any split ends. I get strands that are about an inch think, and place the strand around the top of my left index finger, holding it down with the middle finger, this way, the ends of my hair stick out. I slowy move my hand down until i reach the very last tips, keeping an eye out for any signs of split ends.
I pick up my hair eveytime to go to sleep using Scunci Basic Ribbed Twisters; this way i keep my hair tanglefree and from too much friction caused by the bed, pillows...
I use a cup of warm water mixed with a tablespoonful of Apple Cider Vinegar only once a month to remove any buildup and restore the natural shine of my hair; this also makes your hair really soft.
Two times a month i use 2 tablespoonfuls of mayonnaise. I put all over my hair, more on the tips than roots. Then i put on a shower cap and leave it for 30 minutes. This makes my hair really REALLY soft, shiny, and frizzless; this is mainly because of the soybean oil found in it.
That is about it! ; )

Posted 10:13 PM on 04/13/2011

I forgot to add...after the 2nd day of not washing my hair, I put baby powder on the roots of my hair so that it looks fresh again. I get a greasy scalp fast so baby powder is a necessity. I put some on one of my palms and rub it against the other one, then I pat it on my scalp, ONLY, to allow the particles to suction the excess sebum. My hair is left with shine yet greaseless look. Do not overdoit or you will get your hair to look white. No dry shampoo for me. Oh yeah, and the powder i like to use has vitamin e and aloe, which are both good for your hair and scalp.

Posted 1:25 AM on 04/14/2011

I drink lots of water! I also get my hair trimmed regularly and use lots of conditioner!

Posted 1:28 AM on 04/14/2011

I wash my hair every other day. I let my hair dry naturally and do not use any heat or styling products at all. My hair is quite short and I have fine hair but lots of it. I have my hair trimmed every 8 weeks and I condition only once a week with a good deep conditioner. My hair is coloured and so the dye helps to keep my hair looking shiny as well.

Posted 2:00 AM on 04/14/2011

I don’t wash my hair every day, normally every second day. I would wash my hair with a suitable shampoo for my hair type, when I wash my hair I wash my hair with warm water and rinse my hair with cold water and a little brown vinegar to the water (this is because I’m a brunette)...white vinegar if you are a blonde. I rap my hair in a towel until all water is absorbed, then I rub in a no tangle cream to the roots of my hair , not too much as it could be to oily. I leave my hair to dry naturally before I brush or style my hair.

Posted 2:10 AM on 04/14/2011

It sounds odd, but once a fortnight I make a hair mask out of smashed up banana's mixed with oats and egg white then leave it on my hair for half an hour while I have a bath... Sounds really stupid, and it can be quite messy granted, but you get really soft shiny hair by using cheap natural ingredients that everyone has in their kitchen! It really works!

Posted 11:12 AM on 04/14/2011

i blow dry it and make the curls go really crazy and free

Posted 3:49 PM on 04/14/2011

To get my gorgeous i wash it with a shampoo&conditioner that focuses on non-dry health hair. Then i let it stay in a towel for15min (10 if your hair is thin). Then i pick it until the knots are out and put redken anti-snap in and blow dry it with a round brush. Then go over bangs with straightner. Mist it with hair spray&anti-frizz. Then BOOM! You have my gorgeous hair.

Posted 6:09 PM on 04/14/2011

I only wash my hair three times a week. When I do wash it, I wash it at night, braid it before going to bed, and let it dry naturally overnight. When I get up, I undo the braids, use a leave in conditioning treatment, and enjoy my "natural" waves.

Also, I do have highlights in my hair, but I insist on keeping my natural auburn color as the base color because I have a good natural hair color that I like to let shine through.

Posted 2:39 PM on 04/15/2011

To keep my hair healthy I avoid washing it every day/night. I wash it every two to three days, whatever I can get away with before it gets oily and I can't wear it down anymore. I use a head and shoulders shampoo (I add tea tree oil to my head and shoulders to help with scalp itch and irritation(about six drops for an entire regular size bottle)) mixed with herbal essence body shampoo, lathering and letting it sit for a few minutes before rinsing out. Then I use herbal essence tousle me softly or long term relationship, I use these two products interchangeably because they are both thick and creamy and smell wonderful. I like using a thick conditioner because otherwise my hair gets frizzy and dry, and I find it more unmanageable.
When I get out of the shower I ring out my hair gently and then wrap it in a towel for 15 mins to a half hour, then use a volumizing mouse when my hair is long, or more recently as I've cut it shoulder length I use tousle me softly mouse. Then I either let it air dry or spray it liberally with tresemé heat protectant, and got to be blow dry lotion and their sleek and straight heat protectant.
Then I flip my hair over so I'm bent over, and blow dry upside down. Blow dry until 3/4 dry focusing on the roots and mid shaft, then I sleep on it. I always do this at night if I can because I find my hair is always softer after I sleep on it.
Next day if I'm going to heat style I use the tresemé spray again and flat iron or curl it and use whatever hair spray is floating around my house.
I use a lot of products when heat styling because I have thick frizz prone hair. I don't like to dye or chemically treat my hair because of the damage it causes, but when it is damaged more I add in about a tsp of baking soda to the shampoo mix that it helps to cleanse and also protect from anything harsh or drying in the shampoos.
I get it cut short in my veiw (collerbon length or so) probably three times a year, and let it grow out until I can't stand it before cutting again. I don't often suffer from damaged ends or anything like that so I don't feel its nessesary to keep on cutting when I like it long anyways, plus it saves $. I protect my ends during blow drying by not drying them at all, I only do my roots and mid shaft to produce volume, not damage.
Like I said I have thick and full semi wavy hair, its not wavy enough to be thought of as anywhere close to curly, and it's pretty easy to manage these days. Sometime I use a leave in conditioner or end protector by Avon's hair product brand, but I only need that when my hair gets damaged from inapropriate heat styling use.
I heat style my hair (when its short) the morning after every night I wash it, because when its short the waves come in in akward places, so usually I flat iron it, or curl it and just flat iron the bangs. (when it's longer) I usually just blow dry the roots the night before (because when its long it has less natural volume) sleep on it and don't do anything the next day because when it's longer that all I need to do and the natural waves look great. If there is a special event or something I will heat style it though, but I try to avoid it because it takes a long time to do when my hair is longer and my hair doesn't like to hold curl when its long, and it usually falls out anyways, but curling does produce a more volumized and volumputous straight look when it falls out. (usually within a half hour to an hour after I curl it) My hair always looks and feels soft and usually its pretty easy for me to tame.

Posted 10:05 AM on 04/16/2011

I use herbal essance to crucnh my hair to have it look sexy and nice with the hair spray for a long lasting time. I make my heair me. When straighting i blow dry my hair becuase its long to get it dry and straighten ti and at the end i add shine and hairspray. When curlying my hair i blow dry it then i curle it with the curlying iron and add hair spray and mousse to make it look natural. I use shampoo and conditioner to make my hair smooth and silky. I like to keep my hair nice and good condition. i take care of my hair like im taking caring of my self.

Posted 2:06 PM on 04/17/2011

For gorgeous hair:
I was my hair every 2-3 days with Head & Shoulders/Garnier Fructis/Herbal Essences (interchangeably), once a week mixing 1 Tblsp (because I have long THICK curly hair) baking soda with the shampoo of the day.
After shampooing, every other time I rinse with apple cider vinegar and the off times I use the coordinating conditioner to my shower pick shampoo.
I like to use Frizz-ease anti-frizz after letting my hair dry wrapped in a towel for 15-30mins.
Then I go to sleep! :) Letting my hair dry via evaporation vs having air moving through it is a MUST otherwise I end up with little frizzies no matter how much product I use.
When I wake I have beautiful, shiny, soft curls!

Posted 3:10 PM on 04/18/2011

What I do to make my hair gorgeous:
I shampoo every day using Herbal essences Tousle Me Softly shampoo,
I condition only about once a week,
I usually let it air dry, only blow-drying it when I’m short on time, using a hair pick to comb through it (from the bottom up) to prevent breakage,
I have naturally ram-rod straight hair, so I only have to straighten it on days when I’ve slept on it weird, and I use a heat protector when I do,
& I use Herbal essences Tousle Me Softly mousse and spray hair gel for a little extra something when it’s needed☺.
I’ve gotten several of my friends to begin using Herbal essences too, because they ask me what shampoo I use to keep my hair so soft and shiny. I get a regular trim every 7-9 weeks. Now that I’m in more sports in the spring, I usually have my hair pulled back in a ponytail or a braid, and I use the hair ties that are metal-free. I also eat lots of fruits and vegetables, and I drink lots of water.

Posted 5:42 PM on 04/19/2011

I shampoo and deep condition twice weekly. I always use a heat protection spray when using heat assisted styling items. I sleep on satin pillow cases and I also tie my hair down using a satin wrap.

Posted 5:45 PM on 04/19/2011

to keep my hair looking gorgeous i do a few things. i wash it every other day using body envy shampoo and conditioner with my head flipped upside down under the faucet to give it volume. i use a round brush and blow dry it and use the cold setting to finish my style by locking it in shape and use a hairdryer with shine boost that can be sprayed to make hair look shiny. also i put in heat protector and long term relationship for my split ends before blow drying and straighting. and i use a ceramic hair straightner cause its suppose to help prevent breakage and it applys the heat evenly and everyone ive had got super hot and worked great! i use to use ones with gold plates i heard it makes hair look healthier and shinier but the one i liked always broke on me so i switched it up. and never hold the straighner in one place for longer then 2 seconds keep it moving at all times so your hair wont fry. thats why i rarely curl my hair because i feel like it will be too damaging. i have fine oily hair so i dab on witch hazel to absorb the oils and so my hair doesnt look greasy. and i have side swept bangs that lay on my face so i keep face oil remover pads in my purse to whipe off my forward and touch my bangs as least as possible!! i also found a volumizing powder that works reallyy good it makes my hair very manageable when i tease it and i take the teasing comb over the root just 2 or 3 times so it doesnt tangle or break my hair (pick up comb each stroke dont keep in in place and go back and forth!!) i finish my look off by using wheat therapy Honeybee Garden hair spray its alcohol free so it doesnt dry out my hair and its not harmful to the ozone layer!!! its waterbased so my hair stays flexible and not stiff looking. so i spray my bangs to hold them to the side(there side swept and also i blow dry them when wet over to the side to help them stay put) with Herbel Essences cause it works so good and smells amazing, people compliment on the smell of my hair alot. i keep my hair out of a pony tale as much as possible to prevent breaking and when i do need to put it back i use a thick soft scrunchy (if you know what kind im talking about?!) and put it in loosely. i have very oily flat easy to damage hair but i keep it looking fabulous by doing the above :)

Posted 10:18 PM on 04/20/2011

I do the following to make my hair look gorgeous:
-Wash with shampoo and Conditioner
-Use a frizz free serum
-Put gel in my hair
-Scrunch it
-Blow dry it with a diffuser
- The results are soft bouncy defined curls
