Top Ten Styling Products For Fall Reviewed

  • Posted on October 6, 2009 at 8:42 pm

Welcome to top ten week again here at Hair Care Discounters and today is our top ten best styling products for the fall list and we are completely excited about this list, however, we did have to pull off Sebastian Wet Sleek Hold Liquid Gel since it is discontinued, however we still do have afew thousand bottles in stock so if you need it you can always visit our site at http://www.haircarediscounters.com and buy sebastian wet sleek hold gel….it’ also on sale right now for $7.95 per bottle so if you do need it, hurry up lol.   Also, because Sebastian pulled this product, we have pulled their shaper plus and reshaper hairsprays from our top ten list.  I was also sad to see that the Rusk w8less hairspray didn’t make it this fall either as that is a favorite product of mine, but I am sure it will come back in the spring and summer when you want weightless styling products that hold up perfectly in humidity and heat.  Then again, the fall isn’t humid or hot so maybe that is why that product didn’t make it.  Anyways, here is our top ten styling products for fall list for 2009.

10.  TIGI Bed Head Manipulator Creme.   This product is an awesome styling product for fall.  Not only does it dry and hold fast, but it is perfect for messy looks, dred locks, spikes and other cool and younger hairstyles.  It also works perfectly to create crazy looks and styles for Halloween so the TIGI Bed Head Manipulator Creme gets the number 10 spot in our top ten styling products for fall list.

9.  Artec Kiwi Color Reflect Blaster Spray.  Coming out of Summer means it is time to color your hair darker again and start to repair the damage done from Summer chemicals and heat.  Because a ton of people go darker for the Fall and want their color to look their best while also repairing damage, we chose the Artec Kiwi Color Reflect Blaster Spray for our number 9 product since it not only helps to hold and show off your gorgeous new hair color, but it also holds your style amaingly well and dries fast so that you don’t have to worry about your hair freezing in the cold fall weather.

8.  Brocato Mousse Volumizing Foam.  Noone can say enough good things about Brocato.  Their volumizing Mousse Foam is also an amazing product and definitely in our top ten list at the number 8 spot for the best styling products for fall.  Since bobs and bumps and updos and even some semi curly styles are coming back this season,,,,especially vintage and 70s hair curl wise, what better way to boost your volume and hold those curls then with the Brocato Mousse Volumizing Foam.  This product should have been higher but I am still happy to see it made the number 8 spot in our top ten best styling products for fall.

7.  Aquage Finishing Spray.  The Aquage Finishing Spray is a long lasting and strong holding hair spray that not only dries fast but also holds strong.  It is perfect for fall hairstyles because it is also a brushable hairspray that still holds shape as long as you don’t overdo it with your brush.  The Aquage Finishing Spray is the perfect finishing spray for fall hairstyles since you can brush it and use it over other products like mousses and lifters.

6.  American Crew Fiber.   American Crew Fiber is normally a Men’s Hair Product, however if you have a short bob or a pixie hair cut and need a product that you can use to hold your hair and also not have to have a shiney finish, then this is the perfect product for you and your fall hairstyle.   Don’t worry guys, the American Crew Fiber is still for you and you will love it if you have never tried it before.   Also, since shiney hair is never good in the fall, this is the perfect product since it still styles your hair but doesn’t make it shiney.

5.  Bumble and Bumble Thickening Spray.  The Bumble and Bumble Thickening Spray is our number 5 choice for the best styling products for fall because if you had heat or chemical damage this summer or your hair is a little bit thinner and you need that full thick look and hair back, then this product will help to get you there.  Made for all hair types, the Bumble and Bumble Thickening Spray is an amazing styling product to help thicken your hair and get you back your style.

4.  Kenra Medium Hold Hairspray.   The Kenra Medium Hold Hairspray is the perfect hairspray for fall.  Since most fall looks need to be able to move but also hold their shape, the Kenra Medium Hold Hairspray is perfect for your fall look since it is a medium hold that last and lets your hair live and be free.   If you have a hairstyle that needs to move this fall, the Kenra Medium Hold Hairspray is the perfect one for you.

3.  Matrix Curl Life Body Shaping Foam.  Since vintage hair and bumps are back, you cannot go wrong the with Matrix Curl Life Body Shaping Foam.  Not only does it help to shape your hair, but it also helps to add body and bounce back into your hair.  Perfect for Farrah Faucet hair, curls and other volume styles with curls, this product is amazing and we are happy to have it in our number 3 spot.

2.  CHI Volume Booster.   The CHI Volume Booster is perfect for this years vintage styles and Bobs.  It not only helps to boost your body and volume, but it also holds seriously well.  This is one of the best products for fall hair from the CHI line and if you have ever tried any of the other CHI products, you have to try this one too.  The CHI Volume Booster is an amazing spray and our number two pick for the best fall styling products.

1.  Joico Ice Spiker Glue.   Tons of people are cutting their hair off this Fall for shorter styles and pixie hair has also made a comeback.  Because of this and because we don’t always remember to post for the guys who read our blog, our number one choice for the best styling products for fall is the Joico Ice Spiker Glue.  It is technically a guys product, however women can use this to help create short style and hold pixie styles too.  It dries fast, there is little to no clean up and it is an amazing matte finish so you won’t have shiney ugly and greasy hair.  You can also use a hairspray over top of it if you want a shine added onto it without a ton of greasy looking strands.   Because we wanted to give something for the Guys and Sebastian pulled their Gel so I pulled our numbr one pick for fall, the Joico Ice Spiker Glue is definitely a perfect contender and a product that I am happy to put in first place for the best styling product for fall.   It really is a great product for men and women with short hair and if you haven’t tried it before, now is the perfect time.

Thank you again for reading our top ten lists this week and come back tomorrow for another one.

CHI Nano Ceramic Hairstyling Iron 1

The CHI Nano Ceramic 1 inch Flat Iron is one of the hottest and best flat irons available on the market.  This iron uses a ton of technology to not only help style your hair faster than other irons, but it uses the brand new nano technology to help eliminate bacteria and germs and provide your hair with a cleaner and healthier styling environment.

The ceramic plates on this light blue CHI hair iron are perfect for people who are in a hurry or who have learned from their mistakes and damaged their hair with inferior hair irons before because the cermaic plates on this hair iron heat up more evenly and faster and hotter than most other irons so you not only help to reduce the chances of getting hot spots and hot spot damage, but you also get a faster styling time that can also help to keep your style and shape holding longer than you would if you used inferior irons.  The CHI Nano Ceramic 1 Iron is one of the most popular hair irons as well because of its versatility with styling hair.

Most people think that flat irons can only be used to straighten hair, but this one is unique in that it can be used to not only help straighten your hair, but you can use it to make wavy hair, flips and even if you are good enough with your hair irons, curls.  I love this iron and because it is only 1 inch, it is perfect for all hair styles, and lengths.

How to have straight shiny sexy hair.

  • Posted on August 4, 2009 at 1:28 am

A common question women have with their hair is how do I get it to go and stay straight?  The thing is that it isn’t just that simple, just because your hair is straight doesn’t mean it will have that gorgeous shine or that healthy look to it.  You also have to decide if you want thick straight hair, if you want it thin and laying down, how you would like to style it or what length you want, etc…  Getting your hair straight is only the first step and although it is sometimes the most difficult step, we are here to help you discover how to get straight hair and make it look healthy and full of life.

The first thing is to decide on the length of your hair so you can figure out if you are doing a Bob Cut a pixie style, long sexy hair or even shoulder length hair that you can pull back into a pony tail or wear down to your shoulders to show off a necklace or you can use your gorgeous newly straightened and shiney hair to show off a ring by putting your hand by your chin or along the gorgeous shine of your straight hair.

Soo anyways, onto how to have straight hair or how to straighten your hair.

The key to having straight hair and how to straighten your hair is not the technique, but finding out what products will work best on your hair type and how to do it without damaging your hair.  So although I cannot be there with each of you to see your hair and make a recommendation on how to straighten your hair, I am going to recommend some of the best products on the market for straightening your hair and then what to do to give it that gorgeous healthy shine and look.

Now, I’m going to do this by product line, but please feel free to mix and match or decide which works best for you and your budget so that you can style your hair to that straight hair style you have always wanted.

Using CHI products for hair straightening:

  • CHI Black Ceramic Straightening Hair Iron – I love the CHI straightening Irons because of their quick heating time and how easily these products work to work with you and create straight hairdos with ease.  CHI hair irons are amazing for straightening hair and I highly recommend either The Black CHI Ceramic Hair Iron or the Nano Iron if you have a little more to spend.
  • CHI Shine Infusion Spray – I love the CHI Shine Infusion Spray to use on your hair to create that shine after you have styled your hair.  CHI Shine Infusion Spray is one of those absolutely amazing products mainly because you always get that instant gratification with it.  However, don’t over use this product as too much of it could create a greasy look.
  • CHI Olive Silk Oil Treatment – The CHI Olive Silk Oil Treatment is a product for all hair types.  You can use it as a leave in oil treatment to help nourish your hair back to health after serious work has been done on it or after you use any hair damaging products like hair irons or coloring.  I do enjoy the CHI Olive Silk Oil Treatment and hope you do too,,,however it does not hold ground to one of the most fabulous hair oils out there, the MoroccanOil Oil Treatment,,,then again, nothing stands up to MoroccanOil Oil Treatment.

Babyliss Irons and Alterna Hair Products:

The Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium 1 1/4 inch Hair Straightening Iron -Much like the CHI pro nano hair iron is amazing.  You can easily use it to straighten your hair and it will work like a dream for you.

Alterna Hair Straightening Shampoo – Alterna is one of the hottest products amongst college students, people who like eco friendly hair products and people who enjoy products that actually work on your hair.  Try the Alterna Hair Straightening Shampoo and continue to keep that gorgeous straight hair look with the alterna hair straightening shampoo.

Alterna Hair Straightening Conditioner – The Alterna Conditioner for straight hair is a great product for those of you who want to actually take care of your straight hair and keep up your straight hair.  Combined with the Alterna Shampoo for Straight hair is a great way to keep your straight hair straight and properly treat straight hair.  Alterna is a hot product line and the Alterna Conditioner for Straight Hair is a perfect product for you to keep your hair straight.

Alterna Hemp Hair Straightening Balm – This is a really cool product from Alterna because it not only straightens and helps to keep your hair straight, but it is also part of their Hemp line and their color hold product line.  It not only keeps your hair straight, but it also works for color treated hair to help keep your color safe from harm and damage.  This is a must have if you color your hair and straighten it and since it is from Alterna, you know your hair is in good hands with the Alterna Hemp Straightening Balm for your color treated hair.

Are Bob Cuts the cuts of the Fall season?

  • Posted on July 23, 2009 at 11:39 pm

I’ve been searching around the web and reading a lot of fashion magazines lately and I keep noticing one thing this summer. More and more Bob haircuts are starting to show up in the photos with Actors, Actresses and Models and it is carrying over to American women of all ages.

I’m seeing women from their mid thirties to late forties wearing your traditional bob cut that lays flat and nice by your shoulders giving the classic bob look, as well as college and high school ages girls going from their short pixie styled hair cuts and morphing them into asymetrical bob hair cuts. We’re even seeing them come out in Movies like Speed Racer with Christina Ricci to Singers like Katie Perry and fashion Icons who have always sported them like Victoria Beckham.

Anyway you look at it, Bobs have been coming back big time since last year and this year you can barely turn around without another lady changing her hair style to some sort of bob, and who can blame them.  Bobs are fun, the move freely, if you have healthy hair, they shine (or you can use Sexy Hair Big Shine Spray to help it along), they can be cut asymmetrical and fun, or look classy and exotic. Bob haircuts can also be used to accent and frame your face.  You can tilt your hair and have one side highlighted while the other side has a gorgeous backdrop of your hair, you can pull one side behind your ear if your bob is a bit longer and you can even pull it forward and let the front ends curl up under or above your chin a bit to help frame that perfect face if you wear a shorter to mid sized bob.

Bob hair cuts are also a fantastic style because they are extremely easy to maintain.  Once you have it shaped and use the proper products a few days, you’ll start to notice that your hair will seem like it is starting to all of the sudden fall right back in to place.  Now that isn’t true for everyone, but if you wear it long enough and use the proper tools on it, your hair will seem like it naturally takes on the shape.  One thing though, make sure you choose the proper bob for your face.  I prefer to see shorter bobs on women with round faces, medium sized bobs on women who have more of the rectangle (bangs can sometimes look good with this too) and if you have the long ovular face, I recommend a longer bob for you.  This is just my opinion on what I think looks and works best, but hey we all have different thoughts on hair and the most important part about picking your style of bob and length is to do what makes you happy, makes you feel good and be proud to step outside and show your new hairstyle off to the world.

Now, some tools that I recommend to help create and either improve upon or maintain your bob include:

  • Babyliss Ceramic Hair Rollers and Setters – These help to form and shape your curls.
  • Big Sexy Hair Big Shine Spray – To add that gorgeous shine to your hair like you see in all the fashion magazines.
  • A Babyliss or CHI Hair Iron – To mold and shape or straighten parts of or all of your bob.
  • A spray or myst – To hold your hair in place so you don’t loose all the hard work you spent on making your Bob look perfect (I think my aunt used to use Moose on hers, but I have never needed to when I used to style a bob so try it if you want, but I never used Moose for this style).

And that’s pretty much it.

If you love Bob hair cuts as much as me and have been seeing them pop up all over the place, don’t miss the trend and be hip this fall when it looks like the Bob may seriously make another appearance….winter latest for women with darker hair ;-) .
