Our Secret To Taming Wavy, Rebellious Hair

Our Secret To Taming Wavy, Rebellious Hair
Here's How You Can Tame Your Wavy, Rebellious Hair This Summer.

If you were blessed with semi-awkward "curlyish" hair, styling your locks can be the most frustrating part of your morning routine. Some strands are ringlets, some are straight. Some pieces respond well to a curling iron, others refuse to hold any shape.

After spending most of the year using various products and fussing with the more temperamental areas, we finally found the answer: Humidity is the secret weapon. We’re serious -- the same weather that makes you sweat uncontrollably is actually your semi-wavy hair’s best friend. And if you spend more time embracing the sticky air rather than using products to prevent its effects, wavy hair can actually become pretty low maintenance.

We realize that all curls are different, but here are five tips for taming that misbehaving mane.

1. Find the right shampoo for YOU.

The right shampoo for you might not be the right one for your roommate, and that’s okay. You also don’t need to shampoo your locks every morning. If your mop starts to feel greasy, try shampooing your roots and using conditioner to add volume. You can't go wrong with Kerastase Nutritive Bain Oleo-Curl Curl Definition Shampoo or Julien Farel Zero Frizz Condition.

2. Brush your strands when they are wet.

The point here is to avoid tampering with your curls when they are dry. So if you do decide to brush your curls, make sure you do so quickly after your shower.

3. Ditch the blow dryer, and other hot tools, altogether.

Moisture is your friend, so leaving your locks to air-dry may take longer but allows for them to consume the extra water, which ultimately adds more volume. Do NOT use a towel as the cloth will absorb the moisture, instead of your strands.

4. Find a misting product or nourishing treatment for a refreshing, shiny look.

If you have fine hair, spray from the mid-section and down to the tips. If you have thick hair, start at the roots and proceed down to the ends. Flip your head upside down, continue to spray and gently scrunch your hair with your hands. We like this saltwater-based styling spray and this Dove Dry Oil.

5. The takeaway: You don't need to do a lot for your hair to look great. Stash the hot tools and work with what you've got. Check out our recommended products for a fuss-free routine below.

You'll Never Guess The 'Most Pampered' City In America...

Green Bay, Wisconsin may be known for its stellar, four time- Super Bowl-winning football team, but now it looks like they can boast another, um, impressive title: they are Groupon's most pampered city in America.

Yes, you read right. The discount goods and services site bestowed the title upon the Wisconsin city in honor of their first ever "Beauty Week." The results are based on the amount of services purchased on Groupon by city. According to their video announcement, "In 2014 people of Green Bay have spent more money on deals for facials, teeth whitening, tanning nails facials haircuts et al, etcetera and even more."

If that's not surprising enough for you, they also rounded up specific services by city, with Charleston, South Carolina coming in first for B12 injections and Eugene, Oregon taking the title for most Infrared sauna purchases. Good on you, guys.

Looks like we know where we're planning our next vacation. Check out the winning announcement above and to see all the winners, go here.

Ways to Wear The Color-Block Dress

Ways to Wear The Color-Block Dress
When Suki Waterhouse stepped out in Victoria Beckham’s color-block dress from spring paired with coordinating pink kicks, we appreciated her youthful approach to dressing. Enter Miranda Kerr, who recently donned a modified version of the same print—but in a slick sheath—with nude stilettos. These two different takes got us thinking about other ways to wear the look. For those desiring a subtle route, DSquared2 offers a spring-into-summer cocktail dress which pairs well with flat sandals for a casual look, or slingbacks for dressier occasions. Ralph Lauren and Roksanda Ilincic provide more modest options appropriate for office or leisure. And to truly stand out, slip into a pleated Victoria, Victoria Beckham dress, requiring little more than a few golden accents à la Kerr.

JLaw's Dress Isn't What You'd Expect

Jennifer Lawrence's 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' Premiere Dress Is Stunning

JLaw's Dress Isn't What You'd Expect


The gorgeous and hilarious actress attended "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" red carpet premiere in London on Monday and she looked stunning, as usual.

JLaw rocked the Katniss out of her new pixie haircut which she slicked back into a chic 'do and rocked a beautiful albeit, unusual Dior dress.

The 23-year old's sleeveless gown featured a white satin top which dropped around the navel to the colourful sequined skirt which looked like a scramble of computer pixels.

But if the front of the outfit was a party, the back was definitely the after-party. When the Oscar-winner turned around she revealed her toned back, which was partly covered by a piece of loose, draped satin which floated elegantly when the "Silver Linings Playbook" star walked in her black pumps.

Jenn's stylish red carpet showing was definitely more graceful than the tumble she took at the Oscars in February. The Dior spokeswoman talked about that famous fall at a "Catching Fire" press conference earlier in the day, saying,

"I was just at my brothers wedding and there were stairs and I was like I can’t fall anymore. I just can't! I don’t have plans to avoid any future falls. I'm just going to use sheer willpower and focus."

Love ya, Jenn!

SPRING 2014 READY-TO-WEAR - 3.1 Phillip Lim

SPRING 2014 READY-TO-WEAR - 3.1 Phillip Lim
Phillip Lim got deep into geology this season. And when asked, after his show, what got him so interested in the earth and its elements, the designer replied, simply, "standing on solid ground." Hmm. The comment was interesting not only because it was pretty opaque but also because the thing Lim got at really well in this collection wasn't earthen solidity but flux. That was especially true of this season's standout looks, which featured geode-inspired embroidery on organza. Geodes, for those readers who haven't visited a natural history museum in a while, are those rocklike mineral formations that split open to reveal swirls of many-hued crystal; they are a record of a moment of becoming. Lim's embroideries captured that, as did (to a lesser degree) his geode-inspired silk prints. Elsewhere, Lim took on the variegated palette and texture of seemingly monotone landscapes, translating that quality into metal-mottled, patchworked, and pearlized leathers. The pieces themselves never felt obnoxiously literal, though; women are going to like a fluid, knee-length skirt made from contrasting leathers whether they get the backstory or not. And Lim being Lim, there were a ton of garments here that were all about commercial rather than conceptual appeal— to wit, the wide-leg cuffed trousers or the pieces in sherbet-toned jacquard. Lim is an avid explorer; he just chooses to do his exploring close to home. On terra firma, as it were.
