It’s no secret that my go-to hair care products are from MoroccanOil. Their light treatment oil literally transformed my hair making me a devoted fan of their products. With Fall on the horizon, I know my hair will need a little extra TLC with the weather slowly starting to change. Whenever I want to give my hair some love, I turn to a deep conditioner or mask. This intense moisture mask does the trick in only 5 minutes. It is infused with antioxidant-rich argan oil and nourishing ingredients that hydrate and condition while dramatically improving hair's texture, elasticity, shine and manageability. A pro tip is to add in some of the light treatment oil into the creamy mask before applying to towel dried hair. My hair was even softer after doing that! I added about 2 pumps of the oil and loved the results. Depending on your hair type, 1 pump may be all you need. Give it a try next time!

Braids really are one of the go-to's to be kept in any girls repertoire of hair styles. This braided style only takes about five minutes and is great for those days when you simply cannot do anything with your hair. I personally like to keep my hair down, but feel I need to change it up every now and then. As mentioned before, buns are another go-to, but so is a simple braided style. All you have to do to achieve this is to section the hair into two sides at the back of the neck as if making pig tails. Take the one section, braid it, then form the braid into an S shape at the back of the neck and pin. Repeat on the other side, spray hair with hairspray, and you're done!

Hair Care

One question I get asked the most often would be about my hair. What I do to style it and how I take care of it. The best starting point would be my daily shower routine where I basically shampoo with Herbal Essences and condition with OGX Renewing Argan Oil of Morocco. In the shower I have a wooden comb that I brush the conditioner through with, leave in for the duration of the shower, and rinse out at the end. Next I towel drive my hair for a few minutes and then apply a spray on leave in conditioner from the middle to the ends of my hair. The one I use is Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Tri Wheat Leave In Conditioner. After that I use a spray gel from Garnier. Finally, from OGX, I apply a small amount of Argan Oil to the tips of my hair to keep them smooth and shiny. I brush all of the products through my hair and then simply let it air dry over night. I was blessed with naturally wavy hair, thank you mom!, and use the spray gel to keep the hold throughout the day.In the morning I put my hair in a small bun while I wash my face and put on my makeup. After that, I let it out, and brush the top to keep it smooth. I've always adored my hair color and natural wave and truly believe my hair has stayed so healthy because I do not use heated hair styling tools on it.

The Braided Bun

Once the dog days of summer finally hit I always find myself inevitably pulling my hair up and off of my face to keep cool. Rather than hap haphazardly doing this, I prefer to keep a styled look whether it be the classic ballerina bun, top knot, classic pony, sock bun, vintage roll up and so on. Today I wanted to show you the braided bun, another way to keep your hair effortlessly stylish.

I first pulled my hair into a classic pony and secured with a hair tie while leaving the top half of my hair out and secured with a pin until ready. Braid the pony and tie with another hair tie. Start twisting the braided pony into a bun and secure with pins. Take the top half of hair left out and wrap that around the base of the bun to hide the elastic tie. Pin the hair underneath the bun. Simple, chic, and lets you stay cool in the warm summer sun.

Hair Brooch

This star burst brooch is a replica of one Jackie Kennedy had. I got the idea of using it after seeing some of her own pictures with a brooch in her hair at some of the famous Kennedy White House state dinners. It's a unique idea to try and why not??

Here, Jackie wears a sun burst brooch in her coiffed hair. Image source:  https://onlyjewels.wordpress.com/tag/jackie-kennedy/.
