Hair Routine! How to get curly/bouncy hair! (for straight/wavy hair)

Hey guys! So today I was on twitter (my username is Loveforlife176 http://twitter.com/#!/Loveforlife176) and I was thinking about my new favorite guru on YouTube MacBarbie07, Bethany, and how she does her hair care routine so you can get hair like hers, so i thought why not? Now my hair is fine, and wavy, naturally. Now the way I like it looks like my Facebook picture over there. ---> 
Here are some handy hair tips:

  • I don't really think that shampoo and conditioner matters, you should just use what you want like if you have problems with volumizing,or if you have poofy frizzy hair get rid of frizz, just whatever you need  
  • Never use more than a QUARTER size of shampoo and conditioner because it could weigh your hair down and make it all gunky and gross, and no one wants that. 
  • If you don't air dry your hair then I would say use a defuser with your hair-blow dryer then it separates the curls better and makes it more real than frizzy. They sell defuser's at lots of places so just google it and you'll be done! So on to products:


The first thing I use is the Aquage Sea Salt Texturizing Spray
 (sold at most drug stores and hair salons at least $10)this is like a mist that you spray directly into your hair, and I am not joking this is the best thing ever it works so well if you want nice beachy waves. So to put this product in your hair turn your head to the left so all your hair is on the same side then I spray it and shake it out with my fingers in my hair and then repeat one more time.
I love this next one because I got it so cheap at Target for more volume and body and this is how you get the bouncy waves, by using 24 Hour Body it's a mousse and you put about a golf ball sized amount in your hands and rub them together and make sure to get some product in your roots and scrunch it all into your hair. This works really well it's sold at the most $4.50 at drug stores like Target and Walmart.
 The last product I use is the Herbal Essence Tousle Me Softly Moose and it makes gorgeous soft looking waves that I just love, but if you want to attain a beachy look don't put very much in do the same thing you did with the others.
If you have problems with volume put your hair up in a really high bun and keep it up for at least an hour and a half but if you don't just leave it down and let it dry! IMPORTANT: I know this sounds like a ton of work but it really isn't it it takes less than 5 minutes out of your day.  Love you guys thanks so much for reading! xoxoxo

Emily from PLL!

I love Emily, she's spunky, sweet, and quiet. At times you think you know her and something else comes up! She is so different and not afraid to be herself! ( I swear to god how many times have I said spunky in my blog?) So Emily has a comfortable kind of look on Pretty Little Liars and she is the sporty one so I have found an outfit I want to show you guys without any help :)

Light Acid Wash Romper:
 This great romper is perfect for and 80's look, this also sort of resembles Aria, and I could see her wearing this with some tribal necklaces and big boots but for Emily I'm going to keep it simple and add a tee shirt.http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=jumpsuit%5Fromper&product%5Fid=2071288764&variant_id=02&Page=all&promoType=1
Think Happy Top:
Emily is always the happy peppy girl, well most times, trying to find the positive things about their situation, so I thought this would be perfect for her personality.

Madden Girl Tandum Shoe:
Madden Girl Tandum Shoe These are on sale so snatch them up quick at Buckle! They are cute, a little splash of girly, just like Emily and they are $15.80! I know that doesn't seem like a very good deal but compare that to $54.80! Much better, right?

Aerie Branch Bell Necklace:
 I felt this outfit needed a little push to the finish line and I think this necklace is it! http://www.ae.com/aerie/browse/product.jsp?catId=cat4570002&productId=prod930171

Hey guys! Last Sunday I went shopping with my mom and I got some new AWESOME clothes and I love them so much! I can't wait to show you guys what I got and maybe you guys could get them too!
 TOPS:

1) Aztec Border Knit Top ( $22.80, Forever 21)
I love love love this top because it is so cozy and I love that it is cropped in the front, I got a ton of compliments when I wore it I think everyone liked it because it is so different from what everyone else wears!

 2) Floral Sub Top ($13.80, Forever 21)
This top is really soft and flowy and I love the way the flowers are scattered and different. I also love that it is kinda a crop top! Sorry I'm like almost obsessed with crop tops! It works perfectly for spring too.

PANTS:
Linen-Blend Short w/Striped Belt ($14.80, Forever 21)
 I really loved these because they went super well with anything they went well with both of the other tops I got from Forever 21 and they were so cute, I love the nautical theme with the belt that is sort of what it reminds me off! Since it is that awful time of winter when you just need a break and you can't wait for it to be over these cheered me up and I'm sure they will do the same for you.

DRESSES:
Tea Party Tank Dress ($44.00, Francesca's)




 This is the dress!
I could NOT find it online so I would suggest going to there store to find it. I love it so much it is pretty 
and flattering and I love the design and the cute lace and I know it is a little on the expensive side but I gotta go outside the box every once in a while! Here is the link to the Francesca's website so you can
find a store near you! :) 

Hope you liked my fashion haul!
