Friday Freedom 🙌 By the time Friday rolls around, you’ve earned messy-bun status. Instead of throwing hair up haphazardly, take a minute to add some texture before gathering your hair off your face and neck for the day. .

#summermusthaves 🌴 @oribe Concentrating Dry Texturizing Spray at the roots and lightly throughout the lengths will add texture, creating the perfect scenario to master the messy bun. “Lightly backcomb hair for volume, gather hair at the top of the head and secure when you have just the right amount of effortless style,” said Christian. 📸@mskianaalexis #allyouneedisgoodhair #downtowndesmoines #dsmwestend #oliverjamessalon

TRY IT 👉🏽 Thursday Transformation ✨ Just because summer is bearing down upon us, doesn’t mean you have to abandon the sleek styles that you love. .
.
#summermusthaves 🌴 @oribe suggest using Straight Away Smoothing Blowout Cream—your secret weapon to smooth and sexy. Adding a dose of this product before a blowout will transform the frizziest, most hard-to-manage hair into a straight style that maintains hair’s shine and strength and won’t give into humidity. @oribe pro tip includes adding a light, all-over coating of Impermèable Anti-Humidity Spray for added humidity protection before stepping out into the summer sauna.

Whoever said short hair can’t rock braids was seriously disturbed 💁🏼‍♀️🍑 #bestellewoods .
