Braids are a fun way to style a range of different hair types and they even work with shorter hair! We’re breaking down how to get the most out of your braids and bringing you a few style ideas!
First off, you’ll want to make sure your hair is properly conditioned before tying into braids. Use our ColourFix³™ Leave-In Conditioner which will keep your hair moisturized without creating buildup.
Waterfall Braids
Waterfall braids get their name from the way they cascade down your head like falling water. This striking and intricate-looking braid can actually be quite easy to pull off! If you have shorter hair, start your braid at your forehead and gently drop it as you get to the back of your head. Finish the braid in a fishtail and secure with hairpins.
Fishtail Braids
This braid is everywhere and we have no doubt it’s because of its unique and winding appearance, setting it apart from the traditional braid. You can pull it up in a ponytail for a clean appearance. Or, you can combine it with a french style braid starting at the scalp and change it to a fishtail braid as you go down. This will give you a gorgeous fairytale princess look. Start this braid by separating your hair into two even sections. Take a half-inch piece from the outside of a section and pull it over and across so that it’s joined with the inside of the other section. Make sure you don’t twist the hair as you bring it across. Repeat until you run out of hair!
French Braid
You’re no doubt familiar with the french braid. It’s a classic, but you can switch up this style by starting it all the way at your hairline and creating a french braid mohawk. Bam! A traditional braid just became an edgy look.
Be sure to finish off your braids with LiquidLuxe™ Luxury Mist. It’ll give your hair gorgeous shine while holding your ‘do in place all day long.
If you’re rocking long hair, Summer can wreak havoc on your hair.
Consider these 3 looks when hanging poolside. These pool-friendly styles are sure to keep hairless tangled and out of your face all summer long.
Pool-Friendly Styles
French Braid
The French braid is a classic throwback. You may remember this style from days on the soccer field or summer at sleepaway camp, but we are bringing it back this Summer! The French braid starts much like the traditional 3 plait braid. However, instead of gathering all your hair at once, the French braid starts with 2 thinner plaits on the left and right sides. As you cross your locks and start to braid, add, and incorporate more hair on either side with each crossover. For an acute messy look, that gives a more casual vibe, gently pull each strand of your braid to make them looser with a fuller appearance.
Classic Top Knot
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right? The top knot is a style everyone knows and loves. Coiling your hair into a bun right at the crown of your head will get it out of your face and off your neck for those summer scorchers. This look can be extremely elegant but can quickly turn into a nightmare with flyaways when your hair starts to dry. Our RowdyPaste™ Matte Texture Finish will tame the frizz and hold any flyaways down with a matte finish. Go from the pool to a party!
Pigtails
Pigtails are making a comeback. Instead of the high and tight pigtails you’re used to, take your pigtails to another level of style by tying them in two low, loose buns. This style is cute and carefree, perfect for a day by the pool.
Need some post-pool hydration? Try a hair mask or reconstructing conditioner! Our Moxee™ Reconstructing Conditioner is the perfect product to replenish moisture and deeply condition hair after a day in the pool. And it’s quick & easy to use!
The Classic Bob Haircut is a no-nonsense style. If you’re looking for an instant change, shedding your longer locks for a Classic Bob is one of the easiest ways to do that. Shorter hair means less effort, less hair ties, and it also comes with a range of all new ways to style. Here are a few of our favorites.
Middle Part Bob
The Classic Bob is usually a clean cut with a part down the middle. This works great for finer hair. A bob haircut will give you volume. This is a clean, straight forward look that doesn’t require layering. Spray damp hair with BlowOut Volumizing Spray Gel to give your bob an instant boost of volume.
Part Pixie Bob
If you’re looking for something with an edge, the Part Pixie Bob blends the best parts of a bob and a pixie cut. Not too long and not too short, the Pixie Bob cut gives you the freedom of a short cut with the ability to style it as you wish. The cut can look great with both straight and curly hair. The best part about this cut? It’s low maintenance. You can go days without shampooing, but when you do, reach for the Whipped Creme & Honey Volumizing Shampoo to add body and texture to your hair.
Blown Out Layered Bob
The Blown Out Layered Bob haircut is a timeless hairstyle that will make you feel chic any day of the week. This style is composed of voluminous layers, so it takes a bit of effort to achieve and maintain. For added ease, the Marmalade Jazz Dri-Jel Texturizing Pomade will allow you to get your style just right and keep it looking fresh and healthy all day.
Smooth + Blunt Bob
The most iconic bob is probably the smooth look with blunt bangs. This cut has worked as a power look for decades. The Smooth + Blunt Bob hits just below the chin, with bangs hitting at the brow. This short look may make you susceptible to fly-aways, so use a pump of ColourFix³™ Leave-In Conditioner to hold a smooth shine.
Hair serums can be used on a variety of hair types. Typically packing a punch, serums consist of a concentration of active ingredients designed to tame, soften, smooth, and protect hair from environmental stressors. When using a serum, you can expect sleeker, shinier hair with each use. We’re breaking down a few reasons why you should be incorporating a serum into your hair routine.
Relax Frizz
When your hair meets non-ideal conditions, like humidity, or when your hair just isn’t getting enough moisture, our Zenyth Frizz Eliminator can help tame fly-aways. This smoothing serum smooths down frizz by adding moisture that will protect and repair the hair Zenyth Frizz Eliminator is alcohol and oil free, so it won’t dry out or weigh down hair like other products. It uses natural ingredients to add balanced moisture.
Revive Split Ends
Split ends happen to the best of us. If you’re in between cuts, the ends of your hair can become dry and are susceptible to breakage. Our LiquidLuxe Luxury Mist has multiple uses to protect the ends of your hair. It can even be sprayed into wet hair to detangle and make your locks easier to comb through. After spraying into damp hair, a heat styling tool can be used to further condition. It can also be applied to dry hair for a quick refresher, resulting in a lightweight shine that will make your hair look clean and healthy.
Straighten Without Heat
Using heated styling tools frequently can cause damage to your hair. Over time, heat can cause hair to become dry and brittle. Our Level Strait Straightening Potion from time to time provides a way to get straight hair without the use of heat. This alcohol-free formula works with any texture hair, from wavy to very curly. When applied to towel dried hair, it naturally relaxes the hair into a straight style. Not only is this an amazing styling product, but it also helps to restore damaged hair and protect against environmental harm.

SUDZZfx: Extension Safe Since Day 1!
All those years ago, long before it became mainstream, we took the path of finding sulfate-free surfactants in our shampoos to offer effective cleansing…but wouldn’t harm hair in the process. We went one step further…using an expensive skincare grade surfactant system: Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate that gives you beautiful lather, but is far more gentler on hair.
This ingredient system had an unexpected side effect: we started hearing from hair salons offering extension services and individual extensionists nation-wide who not only were using our shampoos on their extension clients in-salon, but also prescribing us exclusively to maintain their extensions at home! The reason? Our surfactant WILL NOT harm keratin bonds or even adhesive systems…and even better: will help to keep human hair extensions looking shiny, healthy & tangle free for months on end!
