Summer Hair Staples For Long Hair

Summer Hair Staples For Long Hair // Belle Belle Beauty

My hair is getting long! Thanks, Viviscal! I actually find long hair easier in the summer as a messy top knot is so simple and quick. But for those days when I want my hair down, I crave sleek and sliky strands with just a little wave in it. Plus, I am always concious of breakage with the brushing in and out of the pool and every morning and night. A new-to-me tool out of the UK is saving the day!

Tangle Teezer – An import from the UK, this de-tangling hair brush is quirky but just plain works. The design lost the handle but managed to have teeth configuration and an ergonomic shape that got rid of knots in no time (without breakage!). Also, I’ve found my scalp feels healthier. It moves through my fine, wavy hair – wet or dry – in no time. Not to mention, the Queen of England herself is a fan!

Philip B Maui Wowie Beach Mist – While I love this sea spray for texturizing, the version for Phillip B is perfect for beachy waves. The scent alone takes you right to the surf with Coconut and Tahitian Gardenia. I get the thickening sea salt, but hair stays soft and shiny with nourishing Aloe Vera, Marine Extracts, pure Orchid and Kukui.

Bangstyle is a quirky brand with a pretty cool app and website for hair inspiration. I’ve been trying their Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner and Smoothing Lotion. Both have left my hair skily and frizz-free with the Keratin Amino Acids. Avocado Oil and Shea Butter leave hair shiny and manageable. The scent is fairly strong cotton candy, but if you don’t mind (or even like) the sweetness, this duo is great for taming tresses.

Summer Hair From Joico and a GIVEAWAY

 Summer Hair From Joico and a GIVEAWAY // Belle Belle Beauty

I’ve been using a little duo from Joico this summer and both have been keeping my favorite sleek and straight hair style in business. Using a flatiron can be a little hard on the hair, so this conditioner/protectant duo keeps my hair healthy and style lasting longer than ever despite the warm days.

Joico K-Pak Revitaluxe Bio-Advanced Restorative Treatment – Some serious pool time has left the ends of my hair a little dry. This little five-minute treatment strengthen and rebuilds. While my hair isn’t treated at all, this would be ideal for those who have had processed hair. My hair was left silky soft without being greasy. The healthy and shiny finish made my bone straight styling looking better than ever!

Joico Humidity Blocker – While I am not usually one for a ton of hairspray, even my fine hair can be sometimes prone to humidity causing frizz. This blocking spray creates a barrier around each strand of hair to fight against unwanted volume. I also love using it during the end of the day to revitalize a slightly puffy effect on my long and fine hair. The formula contains Bio-Advanced Peptide Complex to help nourish and strength hair as well, leading to a shiny and healthy look. Not to mention with a great, clean scent.

Now your chance to win in another GIVEAWAY! Are you guys going through Revenge withdrawals like me? This video features Ashley Madekwe and a “Summer Style Session” by Joico’s International Artistic Director Damien Carney. Beachy waves straight ahead!

Summer Hair Staple: Alterna Bamboo Beach

Summer Hair Staple: Alterna Bamboo Beach // Belle Belle Beauty

I have beach on the brain lately. I’m headed to the Caribbean in two short weeks to celebrate a friend’s birthday. And to get my locks in tip top shape, I’ve been drinking up the Alterna Bamboo Beach line. It is specially designed to provide UV protection, help combat the damaging effects of the sun, pool and saltwater/ Not to mention, it has one of the best smelling scents perfect for the summer – Brazilian Mango & Coconut Milk.

The favorite of the bunch (although hard to pick) has been the Bamboo Beach Summer Sun Recovery Spray, a leave-in conditioner. I throw this in my pool bag to treat hair while in the sun. I spray it on dry hair and throw it up in a bun. Not only do I get UV protection, but my hair is soft, tangle free and hydrated. And the scent is perfect for pool time.

Before styling, I have been spraying on Bamboo Beach Summer Ocean Waves. While I don’t use this as a traditional sea salt, applying to damp hair and then rough drying, I’ve found it makes a great texturizer. I apply to damp hair and then style with my round brush as usual. I get just the perfect amount of volume. And I’ve found my hair styles last even longer! This product isn’t as strong in the fragrance department, but still totally pleasant.

Just this very morning, I was aching to get a blow out just one more day. Bamboo Beach Mango Coconut Refreshing Dry Shampoo did the trick! I got revitalized volume and my hair looked totally refreshed. Even though the powder is white, it absorbed quickly and didn’t look ashy on my dark brown hair. Major bonus on the fragrance.
