The Look: Hair That's as Sleek and Shiny as Karlie Kloss'
Mix a heat protectant blow dry cream + argan oil
A heat protectant can prevent damage and make blow-drying your hair a heck of a lot easier, but what most are missing is that glossy finish. That's why celebrity stylist Angelo David recommends adding in a bit of argan oil. He says this product pairing "makes your hair smoother and frizz-free while locking in shine." To apply, David suggests mixing a dime-size amount of both products together in your palms. Then run the hair cocktail through your damp hair and blow dry.
Mix a detangler + a volumizing spray
Volumizing sprays are great, but you still want your hair to have movement with that height. That's why celebrity stylist Mitch Stone says you should add a detangler, which will bring out your natural texture without weighing down your hair. To apply, first spray your hair all over with the detangler. Next, apply the volumizing spray only to the roots of your hair. Finally, blow dry.
We always hope the next hairstyling product we buy will be the miracle we've been searching for -- something to make our flat, frizzy, or unruly hair look full, smooth and fabulous.
But, more often than not, it doesn't perform the magic we were banking on. And here's why, say stylists: No matter what the label promises, no one hair product will make your hair dreams come true. The reason? Hairstyling products need to be paired together for that straight-from-the-salon effect.
When your stylist mixes different creams or serums in the palm of her hand, she's creating a custom concoction so that you walk out of the salon with perfect hair.
To take the guesswork out of this tricky concept, we asked our go-to stylists to share their favorite, no-fail hair cocktail recipes. Here, their secret concoctions for swoon-worthy hair.
