Liquid hair: what is it and how to do it?
Think a vibrant, buttery (figuratively, of course), silky salon-approved 'do. As you are aware, a hair trend like this is enough to pull any look together. It's chic. It's empowering. It's...kind of hard to pull off in bad weather, but we're never one to refuse a challenge!
And as we've mentioned, if it's good enough for JLo, it's certainly good enough for us!
Straightening seems like the obvious answer for perfecting the liquid hair but there are a few extra steps to ensure that you're pulling off the trend correctly. (Humidity be damned!)
1. Invest in the proper tools
The Tineco Moda One Ionic smart hair dryer proves just how smart some devices can be. By measuring the moisture levels of your hair roughly every 20 seconds, it'll help prevent damage and breakage. Plus, it emits ions that are believed to make your blowout more manageable and increase shine. *Ding, ding, ding!*
2. Stock up on a good product
Once again, we're turning to JLo for advice. This time, we're snagging her hairstylist Chris Appleton's MONEY masque for a glossy finish. For optimal results, the hair expert suggests using the product after you’ve shampooed your hair, and then apply it to your roots and ends. Rinse after five minutes. Results are said to last for up to three days.
3. Go the natural route
Yes, a little apple cider vinegar for hair is a thing—it isn't just reserved for your kitchen adventures. According to Dr. Mona Gohara, a dermatologist at the Yale School of Medicine, the acidity of apple cider vinegar closes your hair's cuticles, which in turn makes it shinier and even better able to reflect light.
4. Cut your hair regularly
How often should you cut your hair? We break it down for you by hair type and length to ensure that your strands are their healthiest. And, of course, healthy hair makes it easier for you to attempt any style you'd like!
While you're at it, have a look at the 2022 hair trends that will be the talk of the salon: deep reds (expensive brunette, who?), fresh takes on the fringe hairstyle and so much more.
Happy styling, friends!
