HairDo – Forty, Flirty & Fabulous

Easy Ways To Get Fun, Colored Hair!

Happy Labor Day! I hope you’re off today and enjoying it.

My daughters love to play with bright color in their hair. I always want to try it, but I need temporary ways to do it!

A couple of cool ideas are colored hair chalk and colored extensions. I was sent the follow products for my honest review, and they are really fun!

Splat Hair Chalk (approx. $5.99 USD)– the easiest way to add pastel color to your hair. The chalk slides on dry and instantly adds just the right touch of color. The compact is designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand so it is easy to hold onto and apply to hair. The result is soft color that is easy to brush, curl or style after application and is easily washed out with shampoo! The applicator sponge is included for easy application close to your hair-line or when applying color to your braid.

What I think: I’ve tried colored sprays and liquids before, but this is the first time I have tried hair chalk. I have dark brown hair and luckily this worked for me. I applied the color above, sugar plum, with the chalk and the enclosed sponge on my thumb and ran the color through my hair. I applied it to the ends of my hair and really like the effect! There are a bunch of colors to choose from, too.

Hot Hair Trend — Braids!

It’s the hairstyle that is popping up on both the red carpet and city streets everywhere – braids. This season’s ultimate accessory is practical and pretty and can be styled in numerous ways, from a French braid to a fishtail and everything in between. You don’t have to spend a lot of time re-creating this chic trend, which has been seen on celebrities like Jessica Alba, Nicole Ritchie and Jessica Simpson. Now, you can add some boho appeal to your hair with a variety of options for braided extensions:

POP Clip-In Braid ($9: ULTA and ULTA.com): No weaving knowledge necessary—the POP Clip-In Braid is attached to a small pressure-sensitive clip that can be added to your own hair as an accent, or to a hair piece or ponytail.

Hairdo 4-Braid Band Duo ($16: QVC.com): Say good-bye to bad hair days and hello to a brand new look with the help of these four-braid brands. Wear closely together for a smooth polished look, or separate them and go boho chic–either way, you’ll turn heads.

Dancing with the Stars Bellissima Braid Band ($10: Folica.com): This fishtail braided headband is easy to attach to any hairstyle to give you a fabulous hair accent in an instant.

Add Some Volume to Your Hair With Clip-In Extensions by POP and HairDo

Wonder how the dancers and celebrities in Dancing with the Stars plus pop sensation Jessica Simpson get their great voluminous hair? Clip-in extensions! These allow easy changes in hair styles — you don’t have to commit to one style! So much fun!

Bango Tango by Dancing with the Stars ($22.00 USD) is a very blunt bang that allows you to achieve a prominent fringe without any cutting of your natural hair combined with Heat-Friendly synthetic fiber that can be styled using a flat iron or curling iron, up to 350 degrees. It also features 3 pressure sensitive clips; two that tuck into the front hairline and one to attach to the back of the piece.

What I think: Thinking about getting bangs? I was. Bango Tango is a great way to try a cute full fringe without committing to a hair cut. I found out that it is not the look for me, but my bang-less hair is still in tact!

I love the Bump Up the Volume by hairdo ($99.00 USD)! This is a one piece clip in volumizing extension made with heat-friendly synthetic hair. The overall length measures 21 inches from top to bottom and can be cut and styled to blend with hairstyle. Instantly create lift and volume at the crown where you need it most. Created by celebrity stylist Ken Paves and tested on Jessica Simpson herself, you can take your hair to new heights, without teasing and using hairspray. The half-circle base has 4 pressure sensitive clips which secures firmly in place without damaging your own hair. There are also flexible wires built-in to the base which allow you to push up for extra height. Available in 11 salon inspired colors.

What I think: This is so easy to use! I love how easy it is to apply and that you can adjust the size of the bump that you want by pushing up the bottom of the piece and clipping it in. It looks really cool in a ponytail — my hair is thin and it gives me extra thickness. You can also curl it or wave it and wear it loose.

Go! Go! Girl by Dancing with the Stars ($49.00 USD) is a 19″ V-Shaped 1 piece clip-in extension that offers incredible volume and layers, yet has a compact, comfortable fit combined with Heat-Friendly synthetic fiber that can be styled using a flat iron or curling iron, up to 350 degrees. It features 6 pressure sensitive clips for easy, secure attachment.

What I think: It looks extremely natural under a layer of your hair — smooth your hair over it and the layers look like they are yours! The only downfall is that it is a bit heavy.
