Effortless Styled Hair at Home
With video conferencing becoming the new norm, we’re all on the lookout for chic, easy-to-achieve hairstyles that can elevate our Zoom calls. One such style is the sleek wrapped ponytail, perfect for both office calls and virtual parties. To recreate this look, follow these simple steps:
- Prep your hair: Apply a few drops of the L’Oréal Paris Extraordinary Oil Serum to detangle your hair.
- Style your pony: Put your hair in a tight ponytail and take a strand from the ponytail to wrap around the hair.
- Secure with a rubber band: Tie the wrapped strand with a rubber band.
- Finish with a flourish: Set any stray baby hairs in place with a tiny bit of the hair serum.
The Power of a Good Serum
For those struggling with dry hair, an instant shine and smoothing serum can be a game-changer. These serums not only provide an intense dose of nourishment but also help manage hair in humid climates. When choosing a serum, look for one that’s lightweight, non-greasy, and enriched with precious oils.
Using Serum as a Finishing Touch
To add a glossy finish to your hairstyle, follow these steps:
- Warm the serum: Rub 3-4 drops of serum between your palms to warm it up.
- Apply to the back of your hair: Start applying the serum to the back of your hair, working your way up to the front and midsection.
- Style as usual: Your hairstyle will remain intact, with the added benefit of a salon-fresh shine.
Pre-BLOW Dry Prep
Before attempting a blow dry at home, don’t forget to pre-treat your hair with a heat-protecting serum. This simple step can make all the difference in achieving a salon-quality blow dry.
- Choose the right serum: Opt for a serum that’s specifically designed for heat protection, such as the L’Oréal Paris Extraordinary Oil Serum.
- Apply the serum: Take 2-5 drops of serum, depending on your hair length, and rub it well between your palms.
- Style with confidence: With your hair protected from heat damage, you can achieve a stunning blow dry that lasts.
By incorporating these expert-approved DIY hair care tips into your routine, you’ll be well on your way to achieving salon-fresh locks from the comfort of your own home.
