Gerri Styles My Hair: Retro French Twist

For the first time in my life I am enjoying my short hair journey. Typically by now, I would have grown tired of it and slapped a weave in my hair! Gerri does a great job of showing me different short styles. 

This week, Retro French Twist! I love this look. It's perfect for work, special occasion, or a casual look. It's low maintenance with high impact. 

I workout so I needed a protective style that will still keep me sharp for business. 

Here are a few celebrity looks in the Retro French Twist:

To Maintain:

Use a light Aragon Oil for the sides of your hair and wrap the sides of your hair with a silk scarf. 

Use a non drying holding spray for the twist

Simple, easy, sexy & fun!

Gerri Styles My Hair: Pin Curls

More installments of my short hair adventures! I am trying new things every week to see what looks I like best.  Who said short hair isn't fun and versatile?  Gerri used the pin curls on my hair because it is a protective style.  A Protective style is a style that does not use heat on your hair.  I use this protective style in between my visits to Gerri so I don't have to use heat on my hair.

To Style:

Shampoo your hair and use a moisturizing conditioner
Set the sides of your hair with a set foam and sit under the dyer
Once dry use a light serum
finger through your hair with a blow dryer for the top of your hair if it is still damp
Section your hair
Curl and pin as you curl.  Pinning your curl will set the curl, much like hot rollers.
At night before bed pin you hair in curls and sleep in a silk bonnet.

There is no need to use hairspray to maintain, it is a low maintenance hairstyle, provided you pin your hair every night.

Split End Drama

Having split ends can be very terrible for your hair. This can lead to many different issues with your hair causing hair damage and breakage. Split Ends can be a result from many different things: excessive brushing, combing, curling your hair too often with extremely hot tools, not trimming ends, and blow drying your hair too often. Your ends should be trimmed every 4-6 weeks, when washing your hair use an intense moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, really focusing on the ends of your hair when washing.  Make sure you comb you hair out with a wide tooth comb after washing and styling. Use a serum on your hair that will protect your hair shaft when styling, and try to protect your hair from too much sun exposure.

Few Recommended Products:

Design Essentials Define and Shine 2 in 1 Finishing Lotion

Tresemme’ Split End Sealing Serum

Bumble and Bumble Seaweed Conditioner

Aveda Damage Remedy

BioSilk Silk Therapy

Gerri Styles My Hair: Feathered bang

This week Gerri Styled My Hair for my TV taping.  I wanted something different so we went with a bang! Since my short cut happened in December, we have been experimenting with different short styles.  I've had short hair before, but I never changed my hairstyle so much.  Having a creative hairstylist is key to keeping the looks fresh and fun.

This was my inspiration:

This look is chic, sophisticated, and fashion-forward. I love the volume of the hair.  I might keep this look for a little while :)

To care for the hair: 

1. Wear a bonnet at night

2. In the morning, bump the hair lightly, finger through the hair with wax to give the hair the wispy effect.
