Kelly... A Night on the Town

Here's more proof that romantic styles come in all shapes and sizes. This simple style is as formal as you need it to be. It's all in the packaging.

Things You Need:

-a blow dryer that offers between 1200 and 1500 watts and is light enough to hold easily
-sectioning clips
-straightening balm if hair has curl
-hairspray that will hold without -leaving hair crunchy
-1 inch ceramic straightener
-large round brush

Step-by-Step Instructions

Apply your favorite straightening balm if hair has unwanted curl or wave.

Gently detangle hair, create part and allow to 90% air dry.

Horizontally section hair leaving a section free.

Pull up remainder of hair and pin in place with sectioning clips on top of head.

Divide the free hair into 4 manageable sections depending on thickness and length.

Hold dryer in one hand, brush in the other.

Choose one of the 4 sections and move the brush and the blow-dryer vertically, directing airflow down the hair shaft.

Continue from section to section of free hair until all the sections are dry and smooth.

Remove clips, horizontally section off more hair and allow this new section to fall loose.

Re-clip damp hair on top of head continue the drying steps as described above until all of the hair is completely dry.

Use the one inch ceramic straightener to make bangs/fringe "pin" straight.

Style with a brush to coax desired movement and then spray to hold.

Styling and Hair Care Tips You Can Use

*Styling Products For Long Hair

Are you using enough? Keep this in mind when adding your gel or mousse. If you aren't using enough, you won't get the results you are looking for.

*Summer Hair

The sun is hard on your hair, and if you want it to look healthy and shiny, be sure treat it to an intensive conditioning treatment about once a week throughout the summer months.

*Long Hair Problems

Your hair is too heavy... so heavy in fact, it simply hangs there. The problem is that the weight allows for no movement at all. Go to a salon and have it thinned. Yes, they still do that and you will be amazed at how much of a difference it can make.

*In The End...

I know that this hurts, but long hair has to be trimmed to stay healthy looking. Doing so every six weeks, ensures that split ends won't travel up the hair shaft. Hair that is in bad condition, looks it.

*Too Puffy

Is your hair too puffy after washing? I have heard this little trick several times, so it is well worth sharing. In the privacy of your own home, wrap a scarf around your hair while you are putting on your makeup. It should take care of the problem within just a few minutes.
