Locks Get Loftier with Collagen-Boosted Hairspray

by Diana Ajih on December 3, 2011

in Hair

I’ll never quite understand how my natural hair manages to be both supernaturally thick yet sad and limp at the same time… but instead of wasting time pondering why genetics have never been on my side, I’ve opted to fight back with an arsenal of hair products and crafty tricks of the trade. The latest weapon in the army against my own hair? Collagen-infused hairspray. Unlike sticky sprays designed to keep your coif in place at all costs – even if it means just leaving your hair a crusty nest – these collagen-boosted sprays are designed to keep your ‘do flexible, bouncy, and lifted with mega volume that’s never sticky. Collagen as the secret weapon gives hair that added lushness and density, so it looks and feels fuller and doesn’t fall limp within the first hour of your outing! Give your locks a lift that actually stays with one of these lightweight sprays that pack a killer hold!

Davines Love Smoothing Conditioner

Ditch all those envious feelings that bubble up inside every time you see a Pantene Pro-V commercial on TV. Smooth, silky, lustrous hair actually doesn’t come so effortlessly for most people… and it usually isn’t cheap, either. Getting beautiful, perfect locks also rarely involves processes or products that green or natural, of all things… that is, until the eco-friendly hair mavens at Davines got involved! Davines’ Lovely Smoothing Conditioner, straight from their Love line, has earned an ultra-coveted spot on Allure’s Best of Beauty 2011 as one of the beauty world’s natural wonders. Its less-than-glamorous “bucket” of product completely skips the excess bells, whistles, and harmful ingredients and gets straight to the point – luscious, moisturized hair that’s healthy, shiny, and gorgeous! Infused with Vitamin E and borage oil, its natural, creamy formula fights frizz and softens locks. While specially-created for gals with fried hair, it can also be used more sparingly for girls whose locks aren’t quite so damaged, as a weekly conditioning hair treatment to quench a thirsty coif!

anne hathaway hair

Anne Hathaway was all smiles at the red carpet One Day movie premiere. Not only was her makeup undeniably simple yet gorgeous, so was her hair. Frederic Fekkai Celebrity Hairstylist Adir Abergel created a wavy hair look that was soft and romantic.

 Want to Recreate Anne Hathaway’s Hair look?

Here’s how!

Step 1. Adir started by applying Fekkai Advanced Full Blown Volume Styling Whip ($23) to the roots of the wet hair.

Step 2. Next he added Fekkai Coiff Bouffant Lifting and Texturizing Spray Gel ($24) from the middle of her hair to the bottom, which helped hold a slight natural wave.

Step 3. Adir then dried the hair with a Fekkai Large Round Brush ($65) to make sure that the ends of the hair had a nice bend.

Step 4. Once completely dried, he used a 1” curling iron to create waves from the middle of the hair to the ends.

Step 5. After allowing the hair to cool, he added softness to the waves by spraying Fekkai Sheer Hold Hairspray ($24) and brushing it through.

Step 6. Lastly, Adir finished the look by applying Fekkai Advanced Brilliant Glossing Sheer Shine Mist ($24) to the ends of the hair, creating beautiful shine and bounce.

 All the products by Fekkai are available at Fekkai.com and Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and Saks Fifth Avenue stores.
