Ways To Get Victoria Secret Hair!

VS Angels always have perfect, big hair! Today, I'm going to let you in on a few secrets I learned about how to achieve it!

There are several ways to get the volume:

• Blow drying your hair with your head down
• Applying a root lifting product to your roots, then blow drying with a round brush
• After blow drying your hair normally, apply big rollers to your hair while it's still hot. When you take them out, you have a nice ammount of volume.
• Teasing your hair after styling

How To Achieve Different Kinds Of VS Curls

Big,Soft,Sexy Curls-Victoria Secret Inspired Hair Tutorial

For flowy, wavy curls like Adriana Lima above, you'll need a 2 inch curling iron to achieve the look. A while back, Blair (Juicystar07 on YouTube) did a video on it. Just click on the caption to watch it.

For more structured curls like the models below:

Things You'll Need:

*Heat Protectant

*1-1 1/2 Inch Curling Iron

(depending on how big you want your curls to be)

*Blow Dryer

*Hair Pins

*Hairspray
*Round Brush

(optional: Anti Frizz product)

Step 1: Start with clean, wet hair.(I would recommend that you use John Frieda's Frizz Ease Serum.You put it in your hair when it's wet. It not only gets rid of frizz but it gives your hair amazing shine! ) Apply your heat protectant and begin to blow dry your hair using a round brush. (For added volume, you could blow dry your hair with your head down).

Step 2: Section off your hair anyway that you would like. Begin to curl your hair in 1 inch sections with your 1 or 1 1/2 inch curling iron, away from your face.When you release the curl,take your finger, loosely wrap the bottom of the curl around it and begin to roll up until your hair begins to look like a barrel. When it begins to look like a barrel, take your finger out and just roll your hair up with your hand and pin it like a hair roller, away from your face (look at picture to the left). Do this with the rest of your hair.

Step 3: Once all of your hair has cooled down, release it from the pins and start to finger comb your hair. After finger combing it to your liking, hairspray it!

Now you're done!! :)

For messier curls like Alessandra Ambroiso:

 Things You'll Need:
*Heat Protectant

*Blow Dryer

*1 1/2Curling Iron 
*1 1/2 Inch Rollers

*Hairspray

Step 1: Start off with clean hair. Apply a heat protectant and blow dry your hair with your head down for volume. 

Step 2: You want to section off your hair in 3 sections: One in the middle like a mohawk and the other two on the sides of your "mohawk" section. Starting with your "mohawk" section,  begin to curl about 2 inch sections of hair away from your face with your 1 1/2 inch curling iron (try to mimic Alessandra in the photo to the right). After every section you curl, take your 1 1/2 inch rollers (I noticed VS uses velcro) and apply it to the section that you just curled. Do this for the rest of your hair. After your head is filled with rollers, wait for your hair to fully cool down.

Step 3: Once your hair is cool, release it from the rollers. Take your fingers and mess it up a bit then hairspray your hair!

Now you're all done! :)

For pretty waves like Izabel Goulart:

Things You'll Need:

*Heat protectant

* 1 Inch Curling Iron

*Blow Dryer

*Hairspray

Step 1: Start off with clean hair! Apply a heat protectant and blow dry your hair with your head down for nice volume.

Chanel Iman

Step 2: Section your hair off any way that you want and begin to curl your hair with your 1 inch curling iron. Curl your hair by taking 1 inch sections of hair, opening the clamp of your curling iron and wrapping your hair around the barrel, then closing the clamp(look at the photo to the side).Be sure to hold the barrel upside down and to curl away from your face. (For a more tasseled look, you could do some curls toward your face and others away). After you are done with every section(meaning the sections you parted at the beginning), lightly hairspray it so that it doesn't fall while your doing your other sections of hair.
Step 3: Once you are done with curling all of your hair, finger comb and hairspray it.

That's it! :)

Getting VS Shine:

For VS Angel shine, they normally put a shine product in the model's hair. These are shine products available on the VS website:

Style Brilliant & Glossy Shine Mist

Smooth & Glossy Shine Serum

Great alternatives that make your hair nice and shiny are:

• John Frieda's Frizz Ease Serum- I've spoken about this product in my last hair tutorial post and in the one above. As you can tell, I'm crazy about this product! It leaves your hair so shiny and so soft! The amount of shininess and softness that this product gives my hair, lasts a really long time!
• John Frieda's Shine Spray- I've never really used this product before but I was looking at pictures of Adriana Lima before beginning to blog and I saw it on a stylist's table(she was prepping for a photo shoot) and I figured that's how the stylist made her hair nice and shiny for that particular photoshoot.
• Garnier Frutis Shine Spray- I haven't tried this product yet but I am planning on it! I saw it in Seventeen Magazine when they were giving tips on how to achieve shiny hair.

~You can find more reviews on these products on YouTube, Ulta's website (excluding the VS products), other beauty blogs, etc.~

Another way to achieve shiny hair is just by taking good care of your hair. Be wise about the shampoos and conditioners you use, be gentle when you style it, etc. That's why I always tell you to apply a heat protectant to your hair before using any heat. Looking pretty is one thing but being and trying to stay healthy is another!

Halloween GNO Ideas

Hey everyone! Today, I'm bringing you ideas for the perfect Halloween GNO(Girls Night Out). Since Halloween is on a Monday, that means less fun due to everyone having to go to work or school the next morning, right? WRONG! You CAN have fun on a Monday night with your girls and in this blog post, I'll be giving you tips on how to. Lets roll!

First....

After school and homework, choose a place for you to get ready together at. Do each other's makeup and things like that while blasting your favorite songs!
For an adventure, you could get a guardian to drive you from neighborhood to neighborhood to go trick or treating in. It'll be fun to see what other neighborhoods are offering! If your local mall does trick or treating, go to the mall and have some fun there! You can get your shopping done together and get great treats while you're at it.
Another option is making a music video while trick or treating to an awesome song (Thriller anyone?). If you're in the dark while you're trick or treating, be sure to have a video camera that does great in dark lighting or be sure to carry a flashlight for lighting!

Then.....
After your trick or treating is done, choose a place to do the traditional trading of the candy. You could be creative with it by pretending to bid! One person puts a piece up for bid (or you could put out a table with candy everyone is willing to trade) and whoever has the most appealing piece of candy to trade for the candy being bid on, wins the candy! Get it? You could take turns doing that and even set the whole thing up with the stand and the hammer. Another option is having one main person (could be a parent) host the whole thing for you.

Lastly.....

If your parents allow it and you all go to the same school, what could be better than having a sleepover!? How awesome would it be to have spent the whole night having a blast with your bffs and then have more fun getting ready in the morning together for school? You would have a smile on your face for the whole day!

If you're unable to have a sleepover, after your trading or bidding of the candy, go home and get on a video chat (Skype, iChat, OoVoo and Yahoo Messenger are all great options) and chat until you have to go to bed. Or, if you're unable to do that, talk on the phone! Either way, find a way to discuss your favorite parts of the night and how much fun you had!








Additional Tips....
For safety reasons, its best that you:

• Stick together at ALL times!
• Keep your cell on you at all times as well. You never know when the 'rents are trying to contact you (you know how much trouble you get in for "ignoring" them) and if someone ventures off, you know how and where to find them.
• Apply a bit of reflective tape on your costume so that cars can see you.

For more fun and keeping awesome memories:

• Be sure to take lots of pictures! You're only young once, keep memories alive ;)
• Take those pictures and with your friends, put them in a special scrap book. If you don't feel like doing that or just aren't into scrapbooking, upload your pics to your social network (Facebook, Friendster, Linked In, Google Plus,etc).
• If you choose to do the video chat after the night, record it! Put on a dvd and keep it or make copies for all of your friends!
• If you chose to do the music video, edit it and put it on a dvd. Make additional copies for your friends or keep it in a special spot of your own and present it the next time you guys get together!

That wraps up my tips for a great Halloween GNO! I hope you enjoyed it and I hope I helped you! Stay tuned in for more blog posts! Follow me on Twitter (Just click on "My Twitter"): My Twitter
