Hair Show | Time To Shine

time to shine

Try these four steps to locks that reflect so much light, your friends will need shades.

By Jet Rhys

Nothing makes hair more beautiful than megawatt shine! It’s something we all all long for, but because of heat styling routines and brushing, our hair cuticle’s outer layers can ruffle, leaving it looking dull and brittle. Here’s how to get back your glow.

1 CHOOSE SPECIALTY PRODUCTS

Don’t: Use any shampoo or conditioner just because it smells pretty or is on sale.

Do: Find a great shampoo suited specifically for your hair type (for example: fine, curly, thick, coarse) with a matching conditioner.

Insider Tip:

When shampooing use the pads of your fingertips to massage the product onto the scalp; it will cleanse the rest of your hair as it rinses out. Apply a nickel-size amount of conditioner to mid shafts and ends (not the crown area). Rinse hair thoroughly, then blast it with a cold water tense to seal in the cuticle for maximum shine.

2 CONTRAST YOUR COLOR

Don’t: Ask for chunky blocks of color, which are outdated and never look natural.

Do: Enhance the radiance of your skin with hand-painted color detailing. This technique is perfect if you doh’t want too much color in one area. Blending a few different color ones will add more interesting contrast and depth.

Insider Tip:

For more drama, have your colorist up the amount of color around your face.

3 FREQUENT THE SALON

Don’t: Wait too long between trims. Your hair ages as it grows–the hair closet to the scalp is younger, while the ends are older.

Do: Have your hair trimmed every 5–7 weeks to maintain a healthy, vibrant look.

Insider Tip:

Even if hair is short, regular trims will prevent split ends to maintain smoothness and shine.

4 GIVE HAIR A REST

Don’t: Ignore the opportunity to boost your hair’s health during bedtime. Your hair is just like your skin–it repairs itself overnight.

Do: Invest in a masque and work it into the mid shafts and tips of hair. When you wake up, you’ll be amazed how healthy and shiny it is!

Insider Tip:

Sleep on a silk pillowcase instead of cotton one. Hair slides on silk; cotton catches on tangles.

Short Hair Style Guide | Festival Flair

  

Coachella inspired styles set the scene for your alfresco music season. Get ready to go boho!

Cali-based Coachella may be the most well-known music festival to date (who can resist celebrating amazing music alongside celebs like Kylie and Kendall Jenner, Leonardo DiCaprio and Lea Michelle?). But if you can’t make it to the show, no worries–festivals are scheduled country-wide into the early fall!

Whether you’re planning to attend a one-week or a three-day soirée, being prepared is key. It’s time to have fun and look cute doing it! Jet Rhys of Jet Rhys salon in Solana Beach, CA, gives us the lowdown on her fave festival hair looks just for you….

FLOWER POWER

1. Style short, straight or wavy hair with product suing your hands and avoiding a brush and dryer, which will make your style look pouffy.
2. Hair accessories are a must. Clip a flower or fun gemstone hairpins above your ears, or place a floral headband atop your crown.

GLITTER ROOTS

1. Apply gel on damp hair and comb it through.
2. Take glitter from an art store and sprinkle it on roots.
3. Apply hairspray and let dry.
4. Just remember to keep your hands away from your hair to maintain your sparkle!

CORNROWS

1. Carve out two semicircular sections of hair: one at the nape and one above that.
2. Mist both sections lightly with water (damp hair works best for control).
3. Start with the nape area. At the hairline, take three small sections and begin to braid, tucking each piece under the center strand.
4. Next, pick up small strands to add to the outside pieces as you go; fasten hair off at the nape.
5. Repeat the same for the other section.
6. Once both braids are completed at the nape, combine the two and continue with a regular (underhand) braid through the tips.

HALF-UP UNDONE BUN

1. Add volumizer, and then blow-dry with a round brush.
2. Bring hair to the crown and twist the length, starting at the base until it forms a bun. Fasten with bobby pins, leaving some pieces free.

HAIR WRAP

1. Style hair and lightly tease it all the way through the top.
2. Loosely gather hair in the back and work it into a bun, fastening with an elastic. Allow a few strands to go free on both sides.
3. Take a cute tribal scarf and fold it lengthwise. Position it over the forehead and tie it beneath the loose bun.

11 Products Beauty Pros Really Want You To Stop Using

By Krista Bennett Demaio

Not all beauty products are created equal, or let’s be real, even remotely equal. Some face washes leave your skin positively dewy, while others leave it feeling more like old sandpaper. One shampoo may make your hair look lush and shiny—another, well, you get the picture. And most of time, you only discover which ones are subpar after buying them. So annoying. And expensive. That’s why we talked to dermatologists, hair stylists, makeup artists, and nail experts to find out which products aren’t doing you any favors—or worse—and what to start using to instead. (Looking for even more ways to look and feel your best? Then don’t miss Prevention’s new Younger In 8 Weeks plan. You could lose up to 25 pounds in 2 months!)

Discount hair products

We’ve all seen those high-end hair products lining the shelves at discount department stores like Nordstrom Rack and T.J. Maxx. But Jet Rhys, a salon owner in San Diego, says you shouldn’t even think about buying them. “Often, those products have been sitting in warehouses for years, and they are watered down and expired,” she explains.

Switch to: Salon-brand products from authorized retailers
If you’re devoted to a particular brand, you can only be sure that you’re getting the real deal—and something not past its expiration date—when you buy from a professional salon or authorized retailer. Check your favorite brands’ websites for a list of sites and stores that carry your go-to products. (Check out these 15 hair products stylists swear by.)

Full-coverage foundation

While foundation isn’t necessarily bad for your skin, it can look heavy (and even accentuate wrinkles) and usually isn’t even necessary. (Here are 9 beauty rules to follow for women over 40.)

Switch to: Sheer foundation with spot concealer
“I prefer the look of a sheer foundation paired with a creamy concealer to add the coverage where you need it,” says makeup artist Ashleigh Ciucci. “Using these products gives the skin a fresher and more modern look.” If you are looking for some hefty coverage to conceal frustrating issues like rosacea or vitiligo, then full-coverage foundation could be a good option.

Cleansers with sodium lauryl sulfate

Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) is a detergent-like ingredient that gives cleansers their lather. Yes, it removes dirt, oil, and makeup pretty well, but there’s a big downside: “It can irritate your skin and dry it out,” warns Debra Jaliman, MD, a dermatologist in New York City and author of Skin Rules: Trade Secrets From a Top New York Dermatologist. The strong cleansing agent can strip skin of its natural oils, leaving it tight, dry, and inflamed.

Switch to: A mild cleanser
Jaliman suggests face washes made with the ingredient decyl polyglucoside. “It’s a natural and mild surfactant that cleans the skin, yet maintains balance without causing dryness,” she says. The ingredient is found in Acure Facial Cleansing Gel ($8, amazon.com).

Cuticle cutters

Visible cuticles can cramp your mani style, but they serve an important role. “The cuticle is the nail’s protective seal and key to overall nail health,” says Dana Stern, MD, a dermatologist in New York City who specializes in nail health. Cutting or aggressively pushing back your cuticles leaves nails vulnerable to infection. (If you’re a nail biter, here are 7 reasons to stop immediately.)

Switch to: A washcloth or a cuticle pusher
It’s okay to clip any hanging, ragged cuticles with a pair of clean cuticle trimmers, but don’t snip the rest of your cuticle. When you get out of the shower, use a washcloth or a cuticle pusher to gently push back the skin. Your skin will be super soft from the steam, so this should be a quick and easy task.

Alcohol-based toners to treat acne

Traditional, alcohol-based toners will only dry out your skin, cautions Joshua Zeichner, MD, a dermatologist in New York City. “Oftentimes, adult women with acne actually have dry skin, despite their oil and breakouts,” he says. Like SLS, alcohol strips skin of its essential moisture, exacerbating dry skin.

Switch to: Oil-free moisturizers
They provide the hydration you need without the pore-clogging oil. “I find that oil-free moisturizers, alongside acne medications, get better results than the drying effects and barrier disruption associated with harsh toners,” says Zeichner. Try Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture with Broad Spectrum SPF 15 Sunscreen ($9, amazon.com). If you like the idea of using a toner after cleansing, consider alcohol-free versions that add lightweight hydration, such as Fresh Floral Rose Toner ($40, sephora.com).

Bargain blow dryer

It gets the job done, so what’s the big deal if it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles? Here’s the issue: “Basic run-of-the-mill blow dryers take extra time drying your hair and therefore damage it more,” explains Devin Toth, a stylist at Salon SCK in New York City. (Make sure your morning blow dry doesn’t include these mistakes.)

Switch to: A tourmaline-infused dryer
Tourmaline emits negative ions that break down water molecules more quickly and efficiently than dryers made without it. That means your hair dries faster and is exposed to less damaging heat in the long run. Try Hot Tools Tourmaline Tools 2000 Turbo Ionic Dryer ($49, amazon.com).

Facial scrubs containing walnut shells

Gritty scrubs made with pulverized walnut shells can be really abrasive, causing microscopic tears that leave skin vulnerable to infection and inflammation, says makeup artist Sophia Porter.

Switch to: A glycolic acid exfoliant
The acid gently and safely dissolves away the glue-like substance that holds dead skin cells on your skin, allowing them to be easily sloughed off. No scrubbing, or rough particles required. We like Aveeno Positively Radiant 60 Second In-Shower Facial ($7, target.com).

Waxy root sprays

Temporary root cover-up products made with waxes are a colorist’s pet peeve. “They’re hard to remove from the hair and block dye from penetrating,” explains Doug Macintosh, senior colorist at Louise O’Connor Salon in New York City.

Switch to: Root-covering powders
No need to walk around with visible roots; just switch to wax-free products that won’t impede dye molecules from getting into the hair shaft. Macintosh likes tinted powders such as Color Wow Root Cover Up ($34.50, ulta.com).

Long-lasting lipsticks

Matte, long-wearing lip formulas tend to be overly drying on lips, leaving them looking and feeling rough—not exactly a look you’d want.

Switch to: Gloss
Lips with a glossy or frosty texture look more kissable and touchable, says Ciucci. (You can make your own lip balm with this easy recipe from Prevention Premium.) Look for a product that also adds hydration, such as It Cosmetics Vitality Lip Blush Hydrating Lipstain ($24, ulta.com).

Anti-frizz serums that contain silicone

Silicone hair products make hair appear smooth and shiny—at first. But they leave behind a coating that can, over time, dull hair and block nutrients from getting into the hair shaft, says celebrity hairstylist Juan Carlos Maciques. Not sure if your go-to products contain the chemical? Check the ingredient panel and look for words that end in ‘cone:’ Cyclomethicone, dimethicone, and methicone, for example, are all types of silicone, and there are countless others.

Switch to: Lightweight hair oil
A little oil adds sheen, control, and hydration to hair without the buildup. Try L’Oréal Professional Mythic Oil ($28, amazon.com).

Nail polishes containing formaldehyde

This noxious chemical alters the structure of the nail plate, making it harder. It also reduces nail flexibility and increases brittleness—a recipe for broken nails—and can cause irritation and separation of the nail plate and the bed (ouch). But a bigger issue? The Department of Health and Human Services named formaldehyde a known human carcinogen in 2011. “It’s remarkable that there are still many nail products, especially those touted as ‘nail treatments,’ that contain formaldehyde,” says Stern.

Switch to: Three-, five-, or nine-free nail products
With these formulas, you can rest easy that there is no formaldehyde lurking in the bottle. These products are also free of other potentially harmful ingredients such as toluene and dibutyl phthalate. Try 9-free Londontown Lakur ($16, amazon.com).

Shape | Vibrant Hair

by Mara Santilli

Do you have combination hair

Most of us do, experts say. The bigger question is what type of combo. Once you discover that, find out here how to adjust your routine and bring out the healthy, silky, shiny hair you were always meant to have.

Damaged, dry top layer + oily underneath

Sweating heavily during HIIT or hot yoga causes an oil buildup on the underlayers of your hair, especially where moisture gathers at the nape of the neck. Add in lots of out- door fun plus any color treat- ments, and you’ll find that “your top layer is damaged because of its direct expo- sure to UV rays, heat styling, and bleaching,” says Jet Rhys, a hairstylist in San Diego.

→ YOUR CUSTOM PLAN:
To combat greasy underlayers, aim dry shampoo into the underside of the hair before your workout to soak up oil. Once that contains an anti-inflammatory like bisabolol will also soothe your scalp. To prevent damage: “Ask your colorist to add a strengthener to the color formulation she uses,” says Mika Rummo, a stylist at Salon AKS in New York City. And apply a frizz balm with UV filters before you head outside or reach for hot tools to tamp down flyaway and absorb the impart of any harsh elements.

Straight & flat in some spots + wavy or wiry in others

Sometimes hair seems to have a mind of its own–certain sections lie perfectly straight and flat, while others coil and frizz uncontrollably.

→ YOUR CUSTOM PLAN:
If you want to go all wavy, apply a curl cream to damp strands, scrunch, then air-dry. “Wrap any remaining straight pieces around a small 1/2- to 3/4-inch curling iron to give them body,” Rummo says. For smooth hair all over, blow-dry using two brushes: A round brush adds volume to flat areas, Rhys says, and a paddle brush controls the frizzy areas.

Celebrity Stylist Jet Rhys on how to Weatherproof Your Hair!

by Nancy Weinberg Simon


While the warmer months’ heat and humidity can wreak their own sort of havoc on hair, colder days have their own set of problems. San Diego-based celebrity stylist Jet Rhys wants you to have control of your hair, no matter what the weather.


Here are her tips for gorgeous hair, each and every day:

COLD AIR Avoid over shampooing because it can strip natural oils from your hair and cause it to look limp and flat or have static. Instead, “shampoo” with a co-wash (it is short for conditioner only washing) every other time you shampoo. On the days you don’t co-wash, shampoo very gently and use a moisturizing conditioner. Rinse out and apply your products and style as usual.
» Insider Tip! If you battle static, keep a humidifier in your house, or even a bowl of water to add moisture to the air. By adding this to your routine it will add extra moisture to the hair and kick static to the curb!

BITB Product Pick: Vernon Francis Co-Wash Shampoo ($30) boosts your hair’s moisture level, shine and elasticity, as it nourishes, hydrates, conditions, softens, detangles and protects against damage.

Vernon-Francis-Shampoo

 

DRY When the air is dry it’s essential to use a hair primer with sun protection. Spritz it on before blow drying your locks. It will protect your hair from becoming dehydrated from the sun’s harsh rays.
» Insider Tip! Use moisturizing products, shampoos, conditioners and treat your locks to a luxurious masque once a week for an extra boost of moisture!

BITB Product Pick: Alterna Haircare Caviar CC Cream for Hair 10-in-1 Complete Correction ($25) is a luxurious leave-in that includes Caviar Extract, Vitamin C, marine botanicals and more to provide added moisture, shine, smoothness, softness, anti-breakage, heat protection, light hold, UV protection, manageability, and strength, so hair is prepped for anything and perfectly polished.

Alterna-Caviar-Cream

 

SNOW While skiing on the slopes or participating in other cold-weather outdoor activities, keep your hair contained and stylish by wearing an adorable hair style like low ponytails or two low braids.
» Insider Tip! Invest in a super cute hat and combat static by spraying the inside of the hat with static guard or a light styling hairspray.

BITB Product Pick: Bumble & bumble Does It All Light Hold Hairspray ($29) gives just enough hold and separation for natural looking and feeling control. Hair is left soft and touchable, plus you can even run a brush through it.

Does-It-All

 

RAIN Even if you’re prepared with an umbrella, choose a classic style for the day and head out prepared to switch up your style if necessary.
» Insider Tip! Always keep a little kit in your bag with a few hair elastics, bobby pins, surf spray and hair powder. In a snap you can quickly change your style and pull your hair back or up into a topknot, classic low bun, ponytail or braid.

BITB Product Pick: Sephora Frosted Light The Vacationer ($49) is a limited edition zippered case that allows you to stylishly store whatever you need. Keep a ziplock bag stored with your foul weather staples so it’s easy to grab, throw in your bag and go.

Vacationer

 

HUMIDITY Arm yourself with a silicone based product to extinguish frizz. It will envelope your strands and form a protective shield.
» Insider Tip! It’s key to blow dry your hair completely, getting every ounce of water out so the humid air won’t be attracted to the water into your hair!

BITB Product Pick: Ouidad Texture Smoothing Frizz & Flyaway Fighter Spray ($20) can be used on damp hair as a pre-styler or layered over your other styling products. It’s non-greasy, lightweight and adds instant shine. Humidity-resistant actives coat each strand to repel frizz and tame flyaways while olive, avocado, and grape oils add luster.

12 Fresh Haircuts and Colors To Try This Spring

by Krista Bennett DeMaio
 
It’s that time of year again. We’re finally shaking off the winter blahs and ready to hit the refresh button—and hair is the easiest place to start. There’s no quicker, faster way to get a spring pick-me-up than a trip to the salon. Whether you’re looking for a whole new ‘do, or just a subtle tweak, we’ve rounded up 12 super-flattering, skin-brightening ways to spring forward this season.

hidden_highlights

Hidden highlights

Also known as peek-a-boo highlights, hidden highlights are on the under-layer of hair, so when you move you get these beautiful flashes of color, says Rhys. They’re lower maintenance, too. Because they’re placed underneath the top layer of hair, you don’t see an obvious line of demarcation as they grow out.
Get it: Ask your colorist to place the highlights underneath your part. Rhys says the highlight trend tends to be more visible on hair with longer layers, which makes for more movement. Your colorist can adjust the shade and amount of highlights based on whether you want the effect to be natural or bold.

choppy_lob

The choppy lob

The lob—that is, the long bob—has been a staple for a few seasons now, and it’s still going strong. The latest take on the versatile collar-bone-length cut adds choppy layers throughout like Rose Byrne’s playful style. “The flicks and curves give this cut a modern twist,” says Jet Rhys, founder of the Jet Rhys Salon in San Diego. The not-too-short cropped cut works on most face shapes, and it’s especially flattering on your neckline, because it elongates the neck, says Rhys.
Get it: Ask your stylist for a lob with movement and swing, says Rhys. A razor cut is the best way to create it, she adds. Make sure to get a lesson on how to style your new cut. The layers lend themselves to a more tousled look, which you can get with a curling iron if you don’t have naturally wavy hair.

long_layered_cut

The shoulder-hugging long, layered cut

Jennifer Aniston proves long-ish hair is a good look for women over the age of 40. Her signature style—a mid-length cut with long layers—is a big trend this season. It’s not short, but not too long either, says Rhys. The layers (the shortest ones should hit below the jawline) ensure this length has movement and doesn’t just hang lifeless.
Get it: Request a length that sits on or just below the shoulder. Ask your stylist to point-cut the outer edge, a technique that involves snipping into the ends with scissors held vertically to create texture, softness, and swing, Rhys says.

bronde

Bronde

When you’re just not sure if you want to go light or dark, meet in the middle with bronde hair like Jennifer Lopez. Like the name suggests, this color is a perfect marriage between brunette and blonde tones. Besides getting the best of both worlds, the high contrast hair looks shinier and tends to fade less quickly than other hair hues, says Rhys.
Get it: Your stylist can tweak your bronde based on your skin tone. Warm skin tones can pull off amber or honey brondes, while cool complexions can try an ashier version.

strawberry

Strawberry

Soft, light reds (like Jessica Chastain’s strawberry blonde) are coming on strong this season, says Rhys. The golden red shades help warm up a pale complexion and boost light reflection.
Get it: Strawberry, rose gold, or ginger—have your colorist tweak the tone of your red to work with your complexion, says Rhys.

baby_blonde

Baby blonde

This blonde hue gets its name from the perfection that is a fair-haired child’s color: multi-tonal, usually a combination of dark blonde and light tones. It’s neither super light nor brassy—the color is buttery and honey-toned like Reese Witherspoon’s light locks.
Get it: Start with a medium-to-dark blonde base and ask your colorist to add fine, light highlights throughout with foils or balayage, a technique that involves hand-painting highlights throughout. Bonus: The grow out looks natural, so there’s less maintenance involved.

blunt_lob

The blunt lob

The one-length long bob with blunt cut ends is stunning whether styled pin-straight or with brushed waves (like Kelly Ripa wears it here), says Devin Toth, a stylist at SCK Salon in New York City. It’s especially good for someone who can handle a center part—the of-the-moment way to wear it. “You can always tuck one side behind your ear,” he says.
Get it: Ask for a one-length cut that hits between jaw and collarbone length without layers, graduation, or bangs, says Toth. The cut should be slightly shorter in the back. Style it straight and sleek or, ask your stylist to show you how to use a curling wand for a slight curve at the front hairline as in Ripa’s hair here.

soft_shag

The soft shag

The 70s-inspired shag is back with a few modern updates—this version is softer and more wearable than the edgy, choppy versions of the past. It works for all hair types and gives even straight strands instant texture. Bonus: “It completely opens up your face and draws attention to the jawline,” says Toth.
Get it: Tell your stylist that you want a collarbone-length shag with soft, blended layers throughout, paired with the very on-trend curtain bang—a middle-parted fringe like Mandy Moore wears here.

pixie_cut

The pixie cut

If you’re ready for a major chop, consider Michelle William’s sleek short cut. The deep side part makes this daring ‘do a bit more flattering, accentuating eyes and cheekbones.
Get it: Ask your stylist to keep the hair on top long, so you can swoop it over to one side. On the sides, hair should be short enough that you can’t tuck it behind your ear, but not as short as a men’s fade, which shows some skin, says Toth.

flaxen_blonde

Flaxen blonde

Bright blonde is also having a moment this season, says Corinne Adams, senior colorist at Serge Normant Salon in New York City. Cate Blanchett’s super-blonde strands are a prime example of this color trend. The shade tends to work best on those with fair skin and pink undertones.
Get it: Ask your colorist for a solid, flaxen blonde with little to no contrast, says Adams.

copper_red

Copper red

On the other end of the red spectrum is a rich, coppery red like Julianne Moore’s signature hue—a shade that makes fair skin glow, says Adams.
Get it: This red is ideal for natural redheads who want to go richer or light brunettes seeking to add warmth to their natural shade, says Adams.

bowl_cut

The bowl cut

Perhaps the edgiest of the bunch, the 90s-inspired geometric cut is for those wanting to make a bold statement—and for someone who can handle a heavy, blunt bang, like Mary J. Blige. The style is ideal on someone with a heart or oval face shape.
Get it: Ask your stylist for a bowl cut that is precise and clean. You can also request that the ends be cut a little rough and choppy, which gives the shape a softer, shaggier look.

4 Ways to Get Mega-Volume When You Have Thin Hair

by Jane Chertoff

Fine hair is, well… fine. But if you’re constantly crushing on gals with thick, bouncy locks, it’s probably time to seriously turn up the volume. To get that big hair you’re after, we’re turning to celebrity stylist and Cricket Co. ambassador Jet Rhys for some expert advice. Don’t despair too much if you’ve been gifted with thin hair genes; Jet says there’s hope for your hair yet! Here are her top four tips for achieving the voluminous locks you’re after.


1. Bring on the volume(izer). Even if your natural hair is thin, Jet swears that volumizing products will really help. “I think of them as collagen shots for fine, limp hair,” she says. Before blow-drying, she recommends using Bumble and Bumble Thickening Spray ($29). For maximum body-building, gently lift sections of your hair and spritz the root area. Then massage the product all over to make sure you are saturated.

bb-thickening_spray

2. Round it out. If you have thin hair, you probably own like 50 round brushes, amiright? Here’s how to refine your technique when you use one: Jet recommends holding the brush (she suggests the Cricket Technique Tourmaline Thermal Round Brush ($18)) closer to the barrel with your hands so you’ll have more control. Aha! Then wind your hair until you reach the mid section and slide the brush down like a figure eight.

3. Vitamins are a must. You’re not doomed to fine hair forever. Phew! Biotin will help promote healthy, strong hair. Try Nature Made Biotin ($11) and see how it works for your locks. Hip hip hair-ray!

4. Hold that lift. You know all the trouble you go through to blow dry your hair only to have it fall flat five minutes later? Let’s just not have that happen anymore, sound good? Here’s how Jet says you can “go the extra mile” to finish your look on busy mornings: Place three velcro rollers like Drybar High Tops Self-Grip Rollers ($10) on the top sections of hair. Then add a spritz of hairspray. Finish getting dressed and applying your makeup. (You know, doing your usual thing.) Then simply release the rollers and shake your style into place. Ahmazing.

Short Hair Style Guide | Lily Collins Wave

How To Lily Collins’ Wave

“This vintage styles is all the rage,” says Jet Rhys of Jet Rhys salon, Solana Beach, CA. The pro gives us the lowdown on how to copy the look:


1. Add a quarter-sized dollop of gel through the side party, then comb hair away from the face.

2. Place a Kleenex (to prevent dents) and a long duckbill clip on the heavy side of the part to scoop the fringe away.

3. Blow-dry with a nozzle, pointing it down the hair shaft and using your fingers–this is what adds wispiness to the tips of hair.

4. Take two section of hair and place the mid section inside a wave crimper for 15 seconds, leaving the ends free. Repeat throughout the head. Try: Bed Head Wave Artist Ceramic Deep Waver (34.99, ulta.com)

5. Brush through, then apply Bumble and Bumble Semisumo wax ($29, bumbleandbumble.com) to keep waves together and add shine.

5 Celebrity Bangs Transformations You’ve Got to See—and How to Pull ‘Em Off

Fringe is in.

by Kristen Dold

It seems like every celeb and her mother is now chopping bangs. And with good reason: “Bangs can completely change your look without committing to a drastic hair change, and a flattering cut can really emphasize your best features,” says hairstylist Jet Rhys, owner of Jet Rhys Salon in San Diego.

Below, check out before-and-afters of celebs who’ve scored major fringe benefits recently, then find out if the style will work on you, too, with tips from Rhys.

Jessica Biel: Full and Blunt

“Straight bangs look fantastic with long, thick hair and can give off a sweet or edgy vibe, depending on how you style the rest of your look,” says Rhys. A fringe that’s thick and blunt can add width to an already wide face (so tread cautiously if you’ve got that round shape). But, it’s super flattering on anyone with a longer face, like Jessica. Stealing the look is easy—tell your stylist you want a full, blunt bang that skims the eyebrows. Tip: Pop a nozzle attachment onto your blow-dryer and blow bangs straight using a windshield wiper motion to nix any separation at the part.

“Chrissy has a round face, but by adding long, eyelash-skimming bangs with a little chop to them, she’s able to really emphasize the structure of her chin and cheekbones,” says Rhys. (The emphasis might be a little too much if you’ve got a diamond face or pointy chin, though.) At the salon, ask for a full bang with soft edges, and the stylist will likely use point cutting (a snipping technique) to create that perfectly feathered edge.

Selena Gomez: The Hybrid Bang

Non-committal types: This is your bang. “It’s soft and wispy in the center, but gets fuller on the outside, so she can push the bangs off to the side or wear them right down the center of her face,” says Rhys. Another perk: The face-framing layers that hit Selena’s cheekbones slenderize her rounder face. Ask for a soft, wispy center bang with heavy outside layers.

Lucy Hale: Asymmetrical and Side-Swept

Imperfection has its perks: “This bang is left a little bit longer on one side, sloping down toward her cheekbone, and the effect softens and distracts from a pointy or diamond-shaped face,” says Rhys. It also draws mega-attention to the eyes. (Skip this if you’ve got a square face, since the longer side layers draw attention to the jaw.) Request an asymmetric, side-swept bang that hits your cheekbone.

Jenna Dewan-Tatum: Bedhead Bangs

Jenna is all of our sexy hair goals wrapped in one. “This shag look totally opens up her eyes—it’s just a little bit of a bang but the pieces are imperfect and heavy,” says Rhys. (The longer side layers are great for balancing out a square chin.) Ask for a small, full bang trimmed to the bridge of your nose that slopes down into face-framing layers. (Tip: Add a dab of styling cream, like Bumble and Bumble Styling Lotion, $29, bumbleandbumble.com, to weigh those bitty pieces down.)

dr_oz-article3-nov16-web3 DOUBLE UP IN THE SHOWER

When you do wash your hair, revive the lather, rinse, repeat routine. “Shampooing twice gets your scalp and hair super clean and sets you up for a bouncier look on day two or three,” says Jet Rhys, a San Diego–based salon owner. If you have fine or normal hair, pass on “hydrating” or “repairing” shampoos (code words for rich conditioning formulas that could weigh your hair down). Curly, coarse, or dry? You need the moisturizing stuff. All types should use a light conditioner on the ends, says Rhys.











dr_oz-article4-nov16-web4 THREE WAYS TO REWORK SHORT HAIR

“A cropped cut can be challenging on day two–the whole head goes flat,” says Rhys. Three easy hacks to revive it:

PIN IT
Work with, not against, the flatness: Create a side or center part, and pin down face-framing sections on each side with a decorative or regular bobby pin.

SLICK IT
Mix a styling cream with wax or pomade in the palms of your hands, and run your hands through your hair. You’ll get shine and hold without stiffness, says Rhys.

TOUSLE IT
Spritz hair with a sea-salt or prep spray, and scrunch with hands. Or coat fingers with a dab of pomade, and muss just the ends of your hair (avoiding roots).


dr_oz-article5-nov16-web5 DAY TWO ESSENTIALS

Squeeze more milage out of yesterday’s do with these tools.

Boar-bristle brush: The natural bristles help carry oil down your hair, making ends look shinier and roots less greasy.

A shower cap: Wear one when you’re showering and not shampooing to block out frizz-inducing, style-dampening humidity from the steam.

Prep spray: “It’s like a watered-down leave-in conditioner that refreshes hair without making it frizzy,” says Rhys. The label also might say “primer spray.”

Sea-salt spray: Blowout losing its smooth? Play up the piecey separation with this texturizing spray.

Velcro rollers: Old-school, yes, but they really do lift flat roots and create bounce.

Bobby pins: It’s OK, and actually cool now, to leave them visible. Get layers off your face, stack a few in a pattern, or pin back oily bangs, says Rhys.

9 Revive Curls

Second-day spirals may lose their spring, especially if they get smooshed by your pillow. Spot-treat with a prep spray or a light leave-in conditioner. Then wrap individual curls around your finger and gently unravel, says Rhys. You’re back to boingy!















dr_oz-article12-nov16-web12 THIS SPRAY DOES IT ALL

Dry shampoo is your MVP on days you don’t wash. It soaks up oil and gives flat, fine hair a volume boosts, so it looks fresher. We’ll take it! Follow these four pro printers.

Get focused. Don’t spray it all over. Target particularly gunky spots-around your hairline, part, and crown. Lift up 2-inch sections of hair and spray roots, says Rhys.

Not so close. Spritz from 3 to 5 inches away from the scalp, says Webb. Otherwise, you’ll end up with big hard-to-blend globs.

Massage it. This is when the magic happens. “The more you rub it in with your fingertips, the better it absorbs oils,” says Toth. If you brush to blend, you’ll only brush it out.

Apply at night. If you sweat when you sleep, spritz it on you hairline and at the nape of the neck before bed, so you wake up with fresh hair, says Webb. (Then skip it in the morning.)
