Different Easy Hairstyles that Actually Look Good

It’s good to have different hairstyle options– whether it be for those frustrating bad hair days, for those days when you just don’t have enough time to do your full post-wash process, or simply because you want to try something different. Previously, I have made reference to the how-to’s for the side-braid hairstyle as well as a blog on how to get Snooki’s poof. Following are a few other easy hairstyle options that I think look great.

Put a bump in your ‘do.
Separate the crown section of your hair and tease it.
After teasing, spritz it with some hairspray (like the Big Sexy Hair Spray & Play Harder Hairspray).
Then, pull both side sections back around the teased section and pin it into place.

Loose curls
Blow-dry your hair and make sure to untangle any knots.
Using a 1-inch curling iron (like the FHI HEAT Curling Iron), curl 2-inch sections of hair, one at a time, holding the barrel vertically 3 inches from the root.
Spritz some hairspray (TIGI Rockaholic Run Times Flexible Hairspray) on your hair after finishing with the curling iron.
After allowing it to set for a few minutes, run your fingers through for a more natural look.
Use a smoothing cream (like the TIGI Bed Head After-Party Smoothing Cream) to soften the ends.

Slightly tighter curls
After washing your hair, apply some leave-in conditioner (like the TIGI Curls Rock Leave-In Moisturizer) to damp hair.
Make braids all over your head, then go to sleep.
Undo the braids in the morning and separate them a bit with your fingers.

Snooki’s Hair Secret to her “Poof”

15.01.10 / Author: thebeautyplaceblog

The reality TV show, Jersey Shore has quickly popularized the ‘Poof,’ a big hairdo worn by one of its cast members, Nicole Polizzi. Before becoming one of the Jersey Shore girls, all she heard was “why are you wearing that,’ in reference to her trademark hairstyle.

Now, thanks to the hit MTV show, the “Snooki” is being requested at salons making the big hairdo a trendy hairstyle.

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi prefers to style her long black hair in what she calls a “poof.”

According to Snooki, the thickness of her hair allows her to create a poof fairly easily and quickly. But if you don’t have Snookie-like locks, she recommends you ‘tease the sh*t out of it’ followed by some more teasing or back-combing. One of Snooki’s hairstyle tip to perfecting the Poof is to make sure your hair is straight as it makes for a smoother look.

Quick How-To on The Snooki Poof:

If your hair is wavy or curly, begin by flattening your locks into smooth straight strands with a flat iron. Although wavy and curly has a voluminous advantage, it is more prone to damage during the teasing process.
Separate the front section of your hair and brush it well. As contradicting as it sounds, its important to untangle your hair before backcombing it.
Tease the front section of hair.
Hairspray the poof with CHI Helmet Head Hair Spray.
Clip it at the back and you’re done.
