hair therapy: Pantene Curl Enhancing Spray Gel

during the summer, i was given the opportunity to try Pantene's Curl Enhancing Spray Gel. i decided it was the perfect time to do something i hadn't done in some time: wear my hair curly!


Pantene Spray Gel + air dry time = my naturally curly-haired self. :)

while i have no issue heat-styling my hair during the summer months, i thought that going back to my method of giving my hair a break-- like i used to do as a teen-- wouldn't hurt me (it always helped my hair stay healthier!).



i love that this comes in spray form, making application so easy. the formula also smells good and never left my hair feeling "crunchy".


i look like i'm 15 again (well, ok, not really), LOL!

give your curls a treat and try find Pantene's Curl Enhancing Spray Gel. you can find it at your favorite drug and mass retailer. visit pantene.com for more info.

hair therapy: Pantene Curly Hair Series Light Conditioning Detangler

if you have curly hair, you know it's not hard for it to become a tangled mess. conditioning is the most important factor in taking care of your hair not only to ensure great-looking curls, but also to give them manageability. moisture also makes combing through hair easier and prevents breakage. Pantene's new Light Conditioning Detangler, part of their Curly Hair Series, gives curly hair the weightless conditioning it needs so you can have the curls you love.

as with all Pantene products, i am in love with the smell. the product itself conditions nicely. it makes combing (whether with a wide tooth comb or just your fingers) easy and helps hair look great. i've used it on my own hair as well as on my daughter's, and we both agree this is a really good product for curly hair. p.s.-- it even works to refresh curls during the day! :)

find Pantene Curly Hair Series Light Conditioning Detangler at a drugstore or mass retailer near you and visit pantene.com for more info about the Curly Hair Series.

hair therapy: Hairstyle Tips For Curly Hair From Nexxus

this season is all about mixing different textures for a contemporary and bold statement. celebrity hairstylist, Kevin Mancuso says "transform everyday curls into hot holiday hair by pumping them way up and adding a bit of sleek structure to the style."


here's how he would create the style, pictured above, using products by Nexxus:

step 1: shampoo and condition with moisturizing products that add a natural sheen and bounce like Nexxus Therappe Shampoo and Nexxus Humectress Conditioner.

step 2: towel dry hair, and spray locks with a leave-in conditioner, such as Nexxus Humectress Luxe, to help lock out frizz and boost shine. apply a mousse, like Nexxus Gorgeous Curls, to the bottom half of hair to help accentuate natural curls.

step 3: create a side part, and comb hair behind ears. lightly blow-dry the top and front sections of hair using your fingers to smooth out the texture from your crown to mid-ear level. emphasize the sleekness of the top section of hair by fastening bobby pins in a half-moon pattern from ear to ear.

step 4: blow-dry the bottom of hair with a diffuser to add volume and texture. use a large barrel curling iron to add a few structured curls. allow hair to cool, and scrunch to build volume.

step 5: pin the front sections into place behind each ear. finish look by applying a volumizing hairspray such as Nexxus 360° Volume.
