Any girl who adores fashion and creating her own personal style knows what pleasure that gives.  Just as much as clothes, and the way you are personally inspired to style them define your total look, so too does your hair and the love and attention you give it.  Whether sleek and straight or textured and full, hair speaks volumes.  These are some of the shorter, chic looks currently inspiring me.

No matter your length or preferred style du jour, here are my top seven hair care products I swear by.  Hope you like them too:

    1.  Suave Professionals Damage Care Shampoo, $4 

    2. Ojon Volumizing Conditionder, $22

    3. Sally Hershberger Hyper Hydration Super Keratin Spray, $13

    4. T3 Featherweight 2, $200

    5. Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil, $38

    6. Sebastian Shaper Plus, $17

**7. Frederik Fekkai Classic Brush, $95 

**This is a must-have for everyone.  Yes, it is quite pricey for a hairbrush but, a few things to consider...It treats your hair like gold.  No pulling, no tearing and no breaking, ever.  It protects strands and still stimulates the scalp and smoothes your hair effortlessly, for the perfect blowout.  Once you make the initial investment, you'll never look back, nor will you have to.  This brush will last you for years.

  

                                  So how has your signature hairstyle grown with you over the years and which hair essentials are you coveting?

                                                                     Wishing you a fabulous Friday...Enjoy the weekend!

Summertime entails a lot of what we love....laid back days, easy styles, dress it up or dress it down events and all the fabulous hairstyles you could want to complement each of these moments.  Whether going casual while heading to the beach or glamming it up for your best friend's wedding, these hot summer hair looks are going to be just what you want.

1.  Braided:  Perfect for the sun and sand, a loose side braid is carefree and simple to pull off.  A beautiful benefit of this look?  Those loose and tousled waves you'll get when night falls and you're ready to turn it up a notch.  To get back from the beach waves try:  Bumble and bumble Sea Spray Set, $28.

2.  Pony Up:  Nothing says summertime chic better than a sleek ponytail.  Simple and to the point, this classic look shows off your beautiful features while keeping you cool.  Bonus points - you can work this one everywhere from barre class to date night by simply changing how high or low you go.  Keep your pony full of shine and swing using:  Nexxus Humectress Hydrating Deep Conditioner, $15.

3.  Long and Loose:  Sometimes the moment calls for us to simply let our hair down.  When that is the case, let your natural beauty shine by embracing your hair's texture and style.  Make hair happy and always protect your tresses with a great on-the-go repairing spray:  Rene Furterer No Rinse Moisturizing Spray, After Sun for Dehydrated Hair, $23.

4.  Angled Lob:  This year's of-the-moment cut, the long bob (aka "the lob") is being seen on women everywhere from L.A. to NYC and all the great places in between.  This cut is so fresh and appealing, I've been tempted to give it a try myself.  Easy to wear and simple to style, the lines of this look flatter almost any face shape.  Talk to your stylist to see which length and version work best for you.  No matter your choice, you can keep it looking its best with a fantastic styler:  Oribe Maximista Thickening Spray, $28.

5.  Sleek Bun:  Sophisticated yet simple, this is a favorite style not just in summer but all year round too.  So easy to pull off, a few twists and pins and voila, hair perfection.  Beside being a chic and effortless look, this style also allows you to treat your tresses to a little extra TLC.  Before securing your bun, spray in a nourishing hydrator:  Sally Hershberger Hyper Hydration Super Keratin Spray, $14.

Wishing you a beautiful Monday and thanks so much for reading!
