Being someone who colors her hair, I have a few tricks up my sleeve when it comes to color maintenance. After all, coloring services can get expensive and if you're like me, you want to do whatever you can to keep haircolor from fading.
My hair is naturally light brown, with caramel undertones. I like to keep it lighter by adding cool blonde highlights and balayage. While I don't mind a little warmth, I do not want my hair to look brassy.
The number one product that helps my hair from getting too brassy, is purple shampoo. ...
If you've followed my blog for a while, you know how much I love dry shampoo. It may just be my favorite product in my beauty bag. I rely on it (almost) every day and I love how easy and convenient it is. I often get questions asking about my hair care routine & curling iron (read more about that here), but the most common question is about my dry shampoo. ...
Well, it's official. Fall is here and I am pretty happy about it. The leaves are turning, pumpkins are out and the weather is (finally!) cooling down. Last year, I shared my "Fall in Dallas" guide featuring fun things to do in Dallas during the Fall season, and I am currently working on an updated one for 2016. Feel free to comment below with suggestions or ideas! When I saw this dress a couple weeks ago, ...

In honor of awards season, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite red carpet hairstyles, the classic chignon. I love this timeless style and find that it's appropriate for many occasions. We've seen this style polished to perfection, but I wanted to share my take on a slightly messier version that I find chic and "effortless". It's actually pretty easy too!
Thanks for reading, and here's to fabulous looking hair! xx

STEP ONE
I find that day old hair works best for this updo, it gives the hair a little extra grit and volume when worn up. Start by throwing in a few curls with a 1 ¼” Professional Curling Iron. This curling iron is my favorite because I love the size (perfect for those loose curls) and it has a variety of heat settings, making it ideal for all hair types. The barrel is 24k gold plated, and the high heat of the curling iron gives me 24 hour, long lasting curls, which is perfect for a long night out. I am very picky when it comes ...
Happy Friday! One of my favorite (and easiest) ways I like to style my hair, is by throwing in a few loose waves. And while I love curls, waves are definitely my go-to look for an easy, every day style. Many of you have requested more hair tips & tutorials, so I'm excited to kick off 2016 with my most requested tutorial; tousled waves.
Here's to happy, healthy hair!
To achieve this look, simply start with clean, damp hair. I have been using the Nexxus New York Salon Care Color Assure Regimen and have been very happy with the results. I find myself to be pretty picky when it comes to hair products (aren't we all?) and this regimen has worked wonderful for my hair. It's so important to use a sulfate free shampoo when you have color treated hair. Here, you can read more hair tips for color treated hair.

Before blowdrying, use Nexxus New York Salon Care Oil Infinite Nourishing Hair Oil on towel dried hair. This stuff is the bomb. It ...
Let's face it, there's nothing like a touch of color to update your look. And while some of us prefer the natural approach, studies show that over 70% of women do color their hair. If you're like me, you probably can agree that nothing beats that fresh hair feeling you have when you leave the salon.
Chances are, you love your new "do" and are willing to try anything to maintain the look for as long as possible. Many of you have asked for suggestions on how to maintain your hair color and after working in a salon for most of high school and during summers in college, I picked up a few tips that I've found helpful. In an effort to help you keep your haircolor alive as long as possible, here are five ways to keep your hair from fading:
Wait to Wash
When you color your hair, your stylist should remind you to not wash your hair for at least 48 hours. It's one of the most common mistakes, but important because the longer you wait before shampooing, the better chance your new color has to settle in.
Find the Right Shampoo and Conditioner
The first step to long lasting color is using a color protecting shampoo. I've been using Nexxus New York Salon Care Color Assure Shampoo because it is extremely gentle and sulfate free. I love the way it makes my hair feel and smell! The Nexxus New York Salon Care
Now that the holiday season has officially arrived, I wanted to share with you a hairstyle perfect for any upcoming festivities. This braided ponytail is one of my favorite looks and I love the messy texture. Gone are the days where every strand has to be in place. Now, we are embracing texture, loose curls, and of course, volume!

1. I recommend this look on day old (or 2-day old) hair. I find that when my hair is dirty, it actually turns out better when doing a braided updo such as this.
Start by spraying dry shampoo all over hair, focusing on roots. I've tried numerous brands, and one that I am currently loving is the Moroccan Oil Dry Shampoo (I use the color light and it helps keep my roots not so harsh). Use at the roots for added volume and a matte texture. Be sure to brush out the powder with a
