Why Every Beauty Girl Trusts Her Locks to Revlon Hair Tools

This post was sponsored by Revlon Hair Tools as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

Hi lovelies,

Now that fall is officially upon us, I like to change up my look for the new season. I’ve started wearing my hair with loose, wavy curls and I make sure to keep it hydrated and moisturized now that the weather is a bit more dry and windy. 

That’s why I was so excited to use Revlon Hair Tools, all of which are available at Target. The Pro Collection Laser Brilliance Shine Styler, is an innovative and new styler that leaves my locks with a natural shine and bounce due to its Infrared Heat Technology. The diffuser attachment works best when I want to wear my hair curly and the ceramic hair dryer causes less hair damage, which is super important to me in the cooler months. 

Step 1: Take a section of your wet hair and lightly twist 

Step 2: Place the twisted section of your wet hair and gently place it on the diffuser 

Step 3: Turn on the diffuser and let it work its magic to create voluminous curls 

Step 4: Repeat as needed until hair is dry and curled as desired. 

Final soft waves and curls thanks to the diffuser:

Another way that I make sure that my hair stays healthy is by using the Revlon Rose Gold Professional Brush Line; my go-to tool is the Rose Gold Porcupine Round Brush. Its IONIC TECHNOLOGY® Infused bristles dries my hair at a faster pace which causes less frizz and keeps moisture in for smoother hair. I love being able to save time doing my hair because I then have more to prep for the rest of my day or get ready if I’m going out at night.   

When I want to add a bit of low-key bling to my hairstyle, I opt to wear the easy-to-use Revlon Double Grip Clips that comes in a pack of six. The comb teeth and grip dots keeps my hair out of my face, so I wear them when I’m doing my nighttime skincare routine as they are a great way to keep my hair in place when I’m applying my skincare products.

I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m looking forward to seeing what the One-Step Hair Dryer & Volumizing Styler can do. It’s used to get sleek blowouts with just one step and its oval brush designs works best to add volumes and shine your hairstyle. It looks awesome and can also be found at Target! 

Are you getting gorgeous this fall season with Revlon Hair Tools? Do you like my finished look?

How to Get Red Carpet Ready with On Location Glam and Tobi

Hi lovelies,

The other night I had the pleasure of celebrating the launch of On Location Glam, for its Los Angeles debut. This amazing beauty service is available in both Hong Kong and L.A. and it provides luxury beauty, hair, and makeup services directly to you. You can get glam whether you’re at-home, at a hotel, at the office, or on-the-go.

What sets On Location Glam apart from other mobile beauty and hair services, is that On Location Glam prides itself in offering a luxury, glam experience that starts with one-on-one consultations for a customized experience.

The service is so elegant that there’s only a concierge experience available, meaning that there’s no app and you must email or call to set-up appointments which adds a very classy touch to the overall experience.

Since the launch of On Location Glam was highly anticipated by its elite clientele, I knew that I had to bring my ‘A game’ when it came to walking the red carpet. I decided to wear my signature Kate Spade black tights, a vintage brown leather bag, and a Tobi Alexa Lace Skater Dress.

For my makeup, I opted for a black cat eye using Cleopatra Eye Stamp by Lyda Beauty and a rose blush on my cheeks by Physician’s Formula. I trusted my lips to Maybelline’s Vivid Hot Lacquer.

I felt extra confident walking the red carpet for the glamorous night of makeup, hair, eyelash extensions, bubbly, and more, because my dress fit me perfectly and the lace detail added an extra flair of femininity and glamour.

So if you need to get red carpet ready, trust your hair and makeup to On Location Glam and your wardrobe to Tobi.

Hair Detox: Get camera-ready with Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo

Hi lovelies,

Last week, I was fortunate enough to book a really fun digital short for Buzzfeed! I'm always super excited for the opportunity to be on-set and do what I love. But my secret guilty pleasure while being on-set is getting pampered in the hair and make-up chair while getting into the groove of creating my character.

Thus, my anti-residue moment is getting my hair picture perfect for the camera. This means that I need to show up with fresh skin and super clean hair so that the make-up artist and hair stylist can achieve the necessary looks with effortless ease.

For my face, I love to cleanse my skin with a gentle cocoa butter facial wash, then I exfoliate with a natural face scrub, and then I moisture with coconut and jojoba oil. This nightly routine leaves my skin feeling fresh, smooth, clean, and clear and ready for my close-up during filming.

For my hair, I turn to Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo to eliminate build-up from throughout the week. I just started working with a personal trainer, so sometimes my daily shampoo doesn't get all of the sweat out, but when I detox my hair on a weekly basis with Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo, it really eliminates all of the sweat that builds up from my intense workouts. After my hair detox when I switch back to my daily shampoo, I find that it works even better at cleansing my locks.

My anti-residue moment: Getting my hair camera-ready.

I also get build-up from dry shampoo that we use on-set to make sure that my hair isn't too shiny on-camera. Additionally, I use dry shampoo from time-to-time to keep my hair looking and smelling fresh in-between washes. When this happens, I use Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo to remove the dry shampoo build-up, so when I arrive on-set, there's nothing weighing my hair done or making it look flat.

After detoxing my hair with Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo, which instantly removes up to 90% of dulling remnants left behind from styling products, shampoos, and conditioners, my hair feels weightless, fresh, and clean. What I love most is that my hair feels smooth without any oily residue and I can just blow-dry it and go without any hassle. This is super important to me because it saves time when I'm in the hair and make-up chair and it lets the stylist create different hairstyles without the worry of my hair going flat or dull.

Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo is made with a super mild formula so it never irritates my skin or scalp and is safe for all hair types, even if it's color-treated. It cleans my hair completely and washes away easily without leaving any residue behind. You can grab yours for just $6.49 at Neutrogena.com.

About L.A. Hair
WE tv's hit series L.A. Hair, following celebrity hairstylist Kim Kimble, returns for a fourth season on Thursday, July 30 at 10PM ET/PT. 

This season, Kim continues working with her A-list clientele, taking her brand to a whole new level. She still has lofty plans to expand her business to Atlanta, the hair capital of the world; but that dream gets put on hold when she gets a tempting offer to partner on a wig and extension line from the bad boy of Hollywood Hair, Jonathan Antin. He makes big promises with investor dollars and appearances on QVC, but is this deal too good to be true? Will Jonathan be the ally Kim has been looking for to help expand her brand? Or will he end up her worst enemy as he tries to carve out a piece of Kim’s lucrative business for himself. Also this season, Kim provokes the fury of her sister Leah when she secretly hires a fiery new stylist from Atlanta, who throws the salon into chaos. Partnerships crumble, snitches are revealed, and the shears come out on this dramatic new season!

At the same time, Kim gives marching orders to her staff to create unique looks as a pitch for an LA Fashion week event. Terry is appointed the lead, but can he take control of the staff in her absence? And when Jonathan makes a surprise appearance at the salon with a mysterious envelope, all hell breaks loose!

New York Fashion Week: Recreate the romantic bouffants from Badgley Mischka's FW '15 runway

Hi lovelies,

As a fashion and beauty lover, one of my favorite things to do is to recreate beauty, fashion, and hair trends from the runway, especially from New York Fashion Week. I just scored the insider scoop on how to get the look from Badgley Mischka's Fall/Winter 2015 collection from contributor Wendy Rose Gould on Latest-Hairstyles.com. 

Get the runway look the real way:

"NYFW Fall/Winter 2015 is wrapping up, and my goodness have we loved the looks. Everything is super fresh — remarkably “fresh” for autumn, even — and there’s a certain romance in the air," explains Wendy Rose Gould of Latest-Hairstyles.com. "For makeup, it’s all about nude, natural lips and eyes that stand out in a room. For hair, it’s about romantic simplicity."

"Badgley Mischka’s runway had all of the above, and we fell in love with the entire look and collection. Especially the hair (naturally)! The hair was inspired by the collection itself and incorporates both sensual modernity and a hint of old fashioned. Peter Gray for Moroccanoil created what’s been dubbed the “sexy walk of shame” or, in his own words, the “stride of pride.” The style is delicately textured, just loose enough, and very sexy. Think glamorous bedhead."

Step 1: Up The Shine Factor
After washing your hair, lightly mist with a little hairspray, such as Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray. This will create a strong, shiny foundation for you to work with. Rough dry your hair with fingertips on low heat to create a loose and piece-y texture.

Step 2:  Curl, Girl
Using a large, 1 1/2-inch barrel curling iron, curl two-inch sections of hair. Alternate directions as you do this, then apply more hairspray to create additional definition and hold.

Step 3: Time for Texture
For that sexy “bedhead” appeal, use a little dry shampoo or texturizing spray at your roots. This will both mattify and add texture. Try Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo.

Step 4: Be a Tease
Begin to gently backcomb hair in 1 1/2-inch sections starting at the crown, toward your forehead. Gray says, “To ensure even crown height, count the number of brush strokes and gradually increase strokes as you work towards the top of head.”

Step 5: Gather Hair
After teasing, gather sections from your ear to temple on either side of your head and twist back towards the center. Once at the back of your head, secure with bobby pins and a spritz of hairspray for good measure. You can even add an ornate hair accessory, such as the one pictured.

Positively swoon-worthy, right? Let us know if you try this one out.  If you do, we’d love to see the finished look. Feel free to reach out with a photo or feedback via Instagram or Twitter!
