High Speed Hair Do's & Dont's


Guess what! We know a secret. Over 38% of women fessed up and admitted that they skip the shampoo when they’re running late according to a recent online survey. When that morning rolls around again – and you know it will – here are some super sexy styles that will keep your dirty little secret a secret. If the thought of leaving your house without washing your hair first leaves you grossed out, we’ve got the fastest styles for you and your blow dryer.

The first no-wash style is the ever popular ponytail. Wear it high so you can spray it both at the roots before you pull it back and inside the pony to add volume and texture to hide yesterday’s product and last night’s kinks. Feel free to tease the top or smooth with your fingers so long as you aren’t left looking greasy. (TRY USING BAREX ITALIA GLOSS HAIRSPRAY FOR A GREAT RESULT!)

Style number two, the big wave. This one actually comes out better when your hair isn’t freshly washed. It uses left-over product to hold the style. Brush out your hair and evenly apply Barex Italia hairspray. Wrap sections in a large-barrel curling iron and allow the curls to fall around your face and down your back. Don’t style the curls. Spray them as they are; they will blend as the day goes on. Tip: Turn the curling iron away from your face in the front sections. This will keep hair out of your eyes and it looks more professionally styled.

The third style needs to be anticipated the night before. If you hit the pillow hours after your normal bedtime, pull your hair into a loose bun on top of your head. When you wake up, let the hair fall into soft, natural waves. This style can always be pulled up into another bun or a stylishly messy knot now that you’ve got some body.

For short hair, fire-up your flat iron. Brush your hair and wet slightly if necessary. Flat iron the underneath hair first. This helps maintain your style and keeps bed head hair from puffing up the top layers. Skip the middle layer. This saves time and helps give your style body. Straighten and smooth the top layer starting from the roots and slowly working your way to the ends. Rushing through the top layer won’t save you any time and your end results will give away your late night for sure. Finish with a tad of the Gum Gum Paste from Barex for those defined pieced out look!

For those of you standing around with clean, wet hair, grab your blow dryer and start at the roots. If you need volume and you have fine or thin hair, use a small amount of Barex's Gloss Mousse rubbed into the roots and followed by a healthy dose of Barex volumizing spray all over. For thick hair, forget the mousse and apply the Barex volumizing spray to the roots only. Once your hair is dry, pull it loosely back into a ponytail at the lower back of your head. Fold your ponytail in half to form a loop and slip the end of your hair through the loop. Pull the length of your pony through the loop and you’ve got a fashionable knot that looks great if it came out smooth and just as great if it came out unstructured. Secure it with hairpins and you’re off.

Hope you enjoy these tricks of the trade!!
