10 Curl Commandments



If there is anyone who knows a thing or two about curls, it is our It Girl, Marisa Simone. Do you want some nice curls? Or better yet, would you like to maintain them? Well, Marisa dishes with us how to maintain perfect curly hair. Just follow her '10 Curl Commandments' and you will be ready to rock some playful curls!

1. Sleep on a satin pillow case
  • It will reduce dryness and breakage and hold some of the moisture in.
2. Detangle to protect your perfect mane
  • Use a wide tooth comb; never a brush.
3. Limit heat use on your hair
  • Heat pulls out moisture from curls, makes them dry and shapeless. 
4. Shampoo less
  • It is not necessary to shampoo your hair every day, try for every other day. 
5. Condition, condition, condition!
  • The curlier the hair, the longer it takes for natural oils to travel from the scalp to the ends. 
6. Style when wet
  • The tamest your hair will ever be is when it is wet. You will have much more control.
7. Read the ingredients of the products you use
  • Limit products with alcohol in them to avoid that crunchy, ramen noodle look!
8. Leave it alone!
  • Towel or blow drying can cause a bigger mess then just letting your hair dry naturally.
9. Make sure to diffuse 
  • If you must blow dry always use a diffuser, the regular nozzle changes your curl pattern. 
10. Love your hair no matter what!
  • We always want what we can’t have, so just think about all the girls out there pining for luscious, curly locks!

Put A Bow On It


When in doubt, put a bow on it.  When it comes to girly accessories, a pretty bow tops off our list of the perfect little touch.  Wear them big, wear them small.   Sure, we've been wearing hair bows since before we've been old enough to walk... but this playful accent is far from going out of style!  We loved these handmade bows from Swanky Doll Couture, and all of the fun patterns and colors they come in.  They look so cute when worn clipped in your hair, in the back or off to the side!  No matter what, bows will always hit our sweet spot.

The Secret to Using a Bobby Pin



Yup, it's true- we've been wearing bobby pins the wrong way!  We just assumed that the flat side goes on the bottom because it is longer than the wavy side, but apparently the wavy side is designed to hold and grip your hair in place while the flat side helps push it down into the grooves... who knew?!

Try it out... it actually stays!

Big Hair, Don't Care!

Hair Serum: Bed Head- SuperStar

We finally got our Co-Founder, Sakura, to spill the beans about her luscious BIG locks!  No, clip-ins, extensions, or teasing is not the answer! Sakura said her secret to her big hair is the Bed Head- SuperStar Blowdry Lotion.  "I've been using this product since middle school and there's a reason why it hasn't been discontinued!"  

What's the process of using this product?
"Simply wash your hair and while its still wet, put about a quarter-size of serum into your palm and massage it into your scalp.  I typically like to use more just because I want more volume! Then just blow dry your hair like usual and that's it! Style your hair however you want to after your hair is dry."

Where can you buy it?
"You can usually get them anywhere that sells hair products for about $17.00, but I would recommend buying it from Amazon as it is only $13.49! Hello, Secret Steals anyone?"

What makes this product different from other volumizing products?
"I like big hair (and I cannot lie), the bigger the better, but I am also really picky about the texture of my hair.  I personally even hate using hairspray... I just don't like the feeling of it.  A lot of the other volumizing products that I have used, make my hair sticky and 'rough' whereas the SuperStar Lotion actually even detangles my hair and it makes my hair a lot smoother while volumizing it. Oh! and it smells good!  The bottle also lasts me about 3 months so definitely worth the money!"

Now that we know Sakura's secret to her big hair, lets all try it out (click here to try)!  If you know of other great volumizing products, we would love to know! Tell us below and leave your email address!
