Hair How-to from Pureology

The holiday season is rapidly approaching and Pureology knows how to take you there in style. Pureology PureArtists give the must-have hair trends this upcoming season and how to achieve them with Pureology stylers.

Finger Waves

1. Set hair vertically using a vertical iron or hot roller placement, moving curls away from the face and allow curls to cool.

2. Break curls apart with fingers using DryShine HairStyler to define and add shine.

3. Finish with InCharge Flexible Styling Spray.

4. Add GlossingMist for final touch of shine.

Chignon

1. Blow dry hair smooth with PureVolume BlowDryAmplifier and PureVolume ThickeningMist to create thickness and volume.

2. Pull hair back into a ponytail just below the occipital bone, using Hydrate ShineMax to polish and control static. Secure pony with an elastic.

3. Mist each section of ponytail with InCharge Flexible Holding Spray. Curl pony with large 1" barrel iron. Let curls cool completely.

4. Break curls apart using TextureTwist throughout the pony to add dimension and control.

5. Pin sections of pony with closed fasteners until desired shape is formed.

6. Finish with InChargePlus Firm Finishing Spray.

Sleek and Chic

1. Create a ponytail at the top of the head using DryShine HairStyler for an ultra sleek gloss with hold (be careful not to let DryShine HairStyler touch hair ends). Secure with an elastic.

2. Divide ponytail in half for medium density or into three sections for thick density.

3. Polish the first section with NanoWorks ShineLuxe until you create a clean, shiny ribbon of hair.

4. Create a large flat pin curl with ribbon of hair using InChargePlus Firm Finishing Spray to give some moldability; secure ends over base of ponytail.

5. Repeat step 3 with remaining section or sections, creating a looping effect at the back of the head.

6. Finish look with GlossingMist.

Ecru New York Silk Nourishing Cream

This leave-in conditioner rocks!

Goes on easily after shower, lets me comb through without snags.

Not so heavy that my hair becomes greasy mess-- even washing every other day.

My hair just feels nice.

Light scent (generic hair product-ish, not that salon-of-death smell).

Faster and easier for me to use than conditioner (I don't like to open my eyes during morning shower--still asleep!).

Just a little bit & my hair is soft & nice!!!

PUREOLOGY SUPER SMOOTH Shampoo and Conditioner, Relaxing Hair Masque, and Smoothing Elixir

Pureology has done it again! If you love feeling like you've just left the salon with every wash, then this brand is for you. These 100% Vegan and 100% gentle products have got me hooked. And if your hair reacts like mine does to humidity and harsh, hot, styling tools, you will LOVE the Super Smooth line.

The Super Smooth Shampoo and Conditioner have a light, feminine scent and like all Pureology products, enhance and extend color treatment. In humidity, my hair normally turns to a frizzy mess-whether I've straightened it, curled it, or let it air dry. With Super Smooth products in my hair, I stay in control and my hair does what I want!

I love the Super Smooth Smoothing Elixir for days when I want my hair to stay straight and shiny. I apply it to my damp hair, blow my hair dry, and style with a straightening iron and this beautiful product keeps my style looking crisp from start to finish.

Finally, Pureology's Super Smooth Relaxing Hair Masque is a fantastic way to replenish your color treated, heat styled, damaged, tired hair. This thick, delicious, deep conditioner is a once a week treat I cannot resist.

You will simply LOVE the way you look, feel, and smell with these antifade, antifrizz, antidisappoinment products!

Sebastian Shine Define Hairspray

Sebastian
Shine Define Hairspray



I absolutely LOVE the Sebastian line of hair products. The Shine Define hairspray is light, and smells wonderful. I have had several people tell me that my hair smells good when I use it. It doesn't make your hair crunchy, but still holds my curls. Definitely a good product to have around for those hot and humid days!

I had high hopes for this but they fell short. It smells great and the texture is light and non-tacky. Yet it didn't do a thing for my extremely fine, thin hair when it says I'm the ideal candidate. I have longer layers and I saw no difference when I used this.

Ecru New York Silk Nectar Serum

Hello, smooth & soft hair.

Welcome, lovey, not greasy, shine.

I finish with this after I flat-iron.

If I'm too lazy to do anything else, this does make my hair less likely to extreme-frizz

in this lovely fall humidity (think Monica's hair at the Paleontology conference).

& it even smells nice--slightly fruity.

Sam Villa SLEEKR Thermo Tool

Thermal Tool is fancy-speak for "gets hot."

The SLEEKR flat iron from Sam Villa is, in a word, AWESOME!!!

I love, love, love it!!!

Ceramic plates, light, comfortable, three heat levels. incredible smoothing power.

The narrow plates and beveled edges even let me turn my hair under! This could be the thing that pushes me full-on into being a high-maintenance-type girl, except that it is super easy to use. The 1st time I used it, I straightened my whole mass of hair in about 10 minutes. It even smooths the hair in the back of my head, which has a tendency to stick straight out.

Thank you, Sam Villa. I think you are a genius.
