How Do I Liven Up My Day-Old Hair?

Dear Wesley, 

How do I liven up my fine and dry, day-old hair? 

xoxo, 

Susan 

Day old hair is the BEST!  I think it has the best texture to work with and style, so this is an easy trick. Try adding Bumble and bumble’s Surf Spray throughout the hair until the hair is slightly damp. Once this step is complete, wrap your hair into a tight bun and keep it this way until the surf spay has time to dry. Now that the hair is dry, let the bun out add some Klorane dry shampoo to the roots, this will absorb any oil that has built up and weighing the hair down. Massage your roots with your finger tips to remove any excess or visible powder. This will give you a really awesome and sexy beach texture. Sometimes embracing the “dryness” will give you the best results with a cool style.

If you prefer silky textures, try adding some simple Fekkai Sheer Shine Mist to the hair. This will add some shine and glossiness to the hair without weighing it down.
