Hailey's Hair Favorites

Piggybacking on last week's hair theme, I thought I would share with you some of my personal faves. Regardless if my hair is long or short, sleek or messy, I have a few hair products that if discontinued tomorrow I would mourn their loss quite heavily.

KMS Hair Play Dry Wax - Found in most beauty supply stores or online, this product acts like hairspray but allows you to play with it until you get the style right. It gives your hair a textured, almost dirty feeling without weighing your hair down or looking wet. I discovered this product when my hair was short. I would spray a small amount then tease it for that messy look. Now that my hair is longer, I will bat comb my hair in the crown then spray to give it added volume. I haven't found another product similar so I'm praying this never gets discontinued. $10-15 for a 4.7 oz. bottle.
KMS Colorvitality Blonde Shampoo - I've been using "purple" shampoo for years. The UV filters and optical brightener in this lavender colored shampoo illuminates my blonde locks and fights yellowing better than any other color-enhancing shampoo I've ever used. You have to be careful not to use it everyday though. It can give your hair a silver shine if used too much. You can find in most any beauty supply store or online for $13-32 for either a 10.1 oz or 25.3 oz bottle.
Tresemme 24 hour Body Root Boost Spray - As "In Style" magazines '2010 Volumizer' winner, this is a must buy for sexy hair. Without a volumizing boost to my roots, my hair is as limp and lifeless as they come. While my hair is damp, I spray the Root Boost directly onto my hair, roots to tip, then blow dry for maximum volume. I prefer the Root Boost spray over gel and mouse because it's light, there is no build up, it's not sticky, and doesn't weigh down my hair. For best results, flip your hair upside-down and dry on high heat. $4 for an 8 oz. bottle at Target.

Short Sexy Hair's Frenzy Bulked Up Texture Paste - An awesome product for both men & women. Both my husband and I love the way Frenzy adds that finishing touch. This is a must have product to bring texture and bulk to any short hairstyle. It bonds to your hair to add volume and fullness. It's easy to work through your fingers and it won't leave your hair feeling greasy. It provides a medium to firm hold. It also helps tame those pesky fly-aways. You are guaranteed to find it at Planet Beauty stores or online. Target now carries the Short Sexy Hair line but I have yet to see Frenzy on the shelf. Prices vary depending on store but it will usually run you about $16.00 for a 7 oz. container.

Tame the Tum: Spare tire or stress bulge?

For many women, getting bikini ready means tackling one dreaded area in particular — our tummies. Most of us still think the best way to achieve a washboard stomach is by doing hundreds of sit-ups. Not so, says A-list trainer and body guru James Duigan. James, who sculpts supermodels Elle Macpherson and Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley among others, insists there is no ‘one size fits all’ method for getting a flat belly. Instead, he’s identified five key ‘tummy types,’ all of which require a different approach to achieve successful toning. Once you figure out your tummy type (mine is the STRESS BELLY) thanks to the UK Daily Mail , you'll be on your way to getting the perfect midriff... THE SPARE TIRE TUMMY The spare tire: This is one of the easiest tummy troubles to eliminate because it's caused by eating the wrong foods and not exercising enough. HOW TO IDENTIFY THIS TYPE These people are likely to lead sedentary lives, perhaps with jobs that k...

FLATFORM SHOES: Yay or Nay?

Yes, you heard right. It’s the flatform, not the platform! The flatform is really just a flat sandal elevated on a platform sole and it's said to be the "IT" shoe for Spring 2011. This geisha-inspired look is basically one of those styles that you either love or you don’t. And it’s another shoe that is trying to compensate for the painful high heels that have been so prevalent in past seasons. Women are asking for change. Women are wanting the height that the high heel gives but without the foot pain associated with them, so the shoe makers and designers are trying to come up with different ways to solve this problem and give women what they want…but in a stylish shoe. Key word - "stylish." I am by no means a fashion guru but these are light years away from stylish in my book. Glamour magazine however seems to think they are. But then again Glamour magazine doesn't always speak to the , around town girl that isn't trying to look avant-garde on a daily ba...

CHICKEN NUGGETS anyone??

If this doesn't stop you from going through the drive thru - then we have quite a bit of work to do! "Mechanically Separated Chicken" is the actual name for this pink paste that looks nothing like chicken. Eventually this pink paste will be shaped into little boots, fried and placed in Happy Meals around the world!
