The season once again is on deck to change! Will you be updating your hair styling products and tools? Here are a few to get you at least thinking about it.

NEXXUS Maxximum Super Hold Styling and Finishing Mist ($10.55/10oz @ nexxus.com) – transitioning from one season to another can wreak havoc on strands. They don’t know what to do! This one will keep strays and flyaways at bay.

REDKEN Guts 10 Volume Spray Foam ($6.99/2oz @ redken.com) – we have all seen that big hair is coming back in a big way. And where does big hair start? The roots of course! This foam will boost strands to get them standing at attention.

BUMBLE AND BUMBLE Mending Masque ($37/5oz @ bumbleandbumble.com) – let’s face it, if your hair is ratty and out of shape, nothing you try is going to help so make sure you get it back in line with a good hair mask like this one.

A change in the season means a change in my hair brush. After all, the materials that style and go though your hair have a life span as well. And they don’t have to look all boring and functional anymore. Take these two for example. This SPORNETTE Hypnotique #5902 Purple Paddle Brush ($26.95 @ spornette.com) combines nylon and 100% boars bristles and is a great staple everyday brush while SEPHORA’s Bamboo Boar Brush ($12 @ sephora.com) has a ceramic-coated barrel and, as the name states, all boar hair bristles. And the thinness of it makes it easy for wielding.

There’s something to this whole Snooki/Bumpits trend that has me wanting big-ish hair. Not really 80’s big hair but just fuller/big hair. Mousse has always been one way to give roots a lift and it’s really coming back if REDKEN has something to say about it. Their Body Full Instant Bodifier ($16/5oz @ redken.com for salons nationwide) uses wheat proteins, polymers and cotton extract to help puff strands up. And it’s great for those with thin or baby fine hair.

Do you think we’re at the height of high hair on the runways or on the streets? According to REDKEN, we’re not even close cuz here comes their Aerate 08 Bodifying Cream-Mousse ($16/2.3oz @ redken.com for salons) and I’m sure this will be a popular one at NYFW kicking off today (it came out last fall but I just missed it until now). Like the Prius, it’s a hybrid of frothy mousse and conditioning cream that will give hair the ultimate boost in volume. Work a small amount of the patented formula through towel dried hair and then blow dry. The aerated cream uses cellulose to plump the hair up and build body and texture and it’s ok for those of us who color our strands. Love it!

Since giving my hair texture is about all I need to do to it these days since I got the Brazilian Keratin Treatment done to my hair a few weeks ago, I am becoming quite schooled in good ones and bad ones but let’s just focus on the ones that rock, right?

HEAD ORGANICS Extra Hold Mousse ($16.50/6.76oz @ headorganics.com for locations)

BLOW Beach Blow Texturizing Mist ($21/8.5oz @ blowny.com)

KEVIN MURPHY Sticky.Business Matte Texturizer ($10.99/3.7oz @ amazon.com)

RUSK Gleam Lusterizing Crème – External Texture & Shine ($13/3.5oz @ stylesource.com)

A weeks worth of hair …

From L to R clockwise:

AFFINAGE Blu Goo ($22.70/4.9oz @ 877-597-2929) from the Indigo collection – for Friday night, this light holding texturizer was great for hitting the town.

It’s no secret that big hair is back and Texas style bouffants are not easy to do. That’s probably why women went to the salons years ago and tied the style up with a wrap when they went to bed to make it last all week. Does anyone do that anymore? Here’s a few to help you get big.

Here are three that are keeping our strands tameable this month:

1. CHARLES WORTHiNGTON Hair Healer Leave-In Conditioner ($5.99/6.75oz @ drugstore.com) for when I know I’ve stressed my strands out and they need some extra TLC.
2. THERMAFUSE Fixxe Volume Moussse ($13/7.5oz @ thermafuse.com) for I know that big hair is in this fall and I just have to partake in the trend.
3. AUSSiE Opposites Attract Strong Hold + Touchable Feel Spray Gel, Strong Hold ($3.99/6.8oz @ drugstore.com) for when I’m wearing my hair wavy or curlier than usual and want it to stay in past 11am. And no crunch!

We finally caught up with the FREDERIC FEKKAI line and the new Coiff collection. It’s eight multi-tasking stylers. From forming wax to texturizing spray gel, basically everything you need to get your hairs in order. And they claim no build-up!

Coiff Defense UV Protectant ($25/5oz)

Coiff Oceanique - Touseled Wave Spray ($23/5oz)

Bouffant – Lifting & Texturizing Spray Gel ($23/5oz)

Defense – Pre-Style Protectant ($25/5oz)

Perfecteur – Anti-Frizz Silkening Crème ($25/3.4oz)

Controle – Ironless Straightening Balm ($25/3.4oz)

The hair experts at WARREN-TRiCOMI in New York and now Los Angeles style a lot of different the celebrities’ hair and they use their own extensive line of hair products ranging from shampoo and conditioners to every kind of styling need you could think of! Lots of volume was to be had with the Volumizing Shampoo ($18/8oz) and Volumizing Conditioner ($20/8oz) from the Style Line. My hair can get kind of limp and sad (love the way you put that!), and this duo perked it right up. They use natural ingredients like rosemary, hops and geranium in the shampoo and the conditioner and both are color safe. 

Since mousse is one of my favorite styling products, you know I loved the Style Mousse ($17/7oz). With a blend of their Advanced Styling Technology and natural extracts like Hawaiian Ginger, Banana, Coconut, Lemongrass, Papaya, and Passion Fruit, this dynamo product helps create texture and volume and helps eliminate static electricity. So many great products to make our locks lovely! All @ bathandbodyworks.com ~Lisa
