Back 2 School Hair!

One Month Before

A Great Haircut 

To get a head start before the frenzy of back to school season, the perfect haircut will get rid of any split ends and give you a healthy, fresh look. This will help in cutting down how much time you otherwise might spend trying to mask those dead ends with countless hair products. Healthy hair is also more manageable, so it'll be easier and faster to style it in the morning!

One Week Before

Deep Condition 

To undo the damage of the blistering summer heat and harsh pool chemicals, you'll need to repair your locks with a once-a-week deep conditioning treatment. Try Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask, $8. I personally love making my own hair masks at home. This tutorial shows you how to make a simple conditioning mask with natural ingredients:

The Night Before 

The Perfect Texture

If you want to alter your hair texture (from curly to straight, or vice versa) the best time to do so is right before bed. If you curl, straighten, crimp or wave your hair the night before, the only thing left to do the next morning is touch-up and style.

The Morning Of 

Touch Up & Accessorize

Touch up any imperfections from sleeping on your locks, or better yet, try a messy, tousled bed-head look. Simply spray on a texturizing spray like Garnier Fructis Style Surf Hair Texturizing Spray, $6. It's a stylish and low-maintenance do that'll make you look like you just walked off the beach and into the classroom.

Also, adding a couple of cute hair pins or an awesome headband will instantly give you a gorgeous look without the effort and hassle. Check out my tutorial on how to make your own feather headbands!

In-between Classes 

Maintain Your Look

Pack a couple of reinforcements in your bag, like extra bobby pins or clips. That way, you can maintain your look during bathroom breaks. Most hair products also come in these cute travel sizes, so you can even toss one in your purse for times when you'll need to touch up your hair the most, like right after Phys-Ed. Can't find your favorite styling products in mini sizes? Make your own! You can get travel size bottles and add any of your hair essentials for instant on the go beauty.
