It’s been several months since Bailey’s visit to the Warren Tricomi Salon for help with her damaged hair .

She continues to trash it daily with her curling iron and straightening iron, but she took some of Kaz Amor’s advice (he’s the Warren Tricomi Salon principle and an internationally acclaimed colorist) and keeps the heat at a lower temperature. She also protects her strands before using styling tools with products like Matrix Gold Heat Protective Dry Mist or TRESemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Protective Spray .

Bailey’s hair is far from perfect, but it’s definitely looking better than before. Of course, she can’t repair the damage that’s already been done, she can only continue to use protective sprays and less heat from her styling tools to prevent further damage from happening.

To achieve the bouncy loose curls here in this photo (above) Bailey used a 2" barrel curling iron and loosely wrapped her hair around the outside of the barrel (careful not to burn your fingers!). After curling, she ran her fingers through her hair for natural-looking, unfussy curls. (No librarian hair here, please.)

And here’s what is happening with me:

I’m tan, tan, tan (of course I’m using sunblock daily) and having the best summer ever!

Hope you are all enjoying your summers and staying out of trouble :]]

We’ve all seen the woman with hair that doesn’t move AT ALL. The one you just want to hold and say, "this is 2008. Aqua Net is not your friend."

Now, women everywhere can end their love affair with helmet hair. Aussie has released their Opposites Attract collection—let there be peace on earth.

With five helmet-taming products, this collection is sure to give you happy, manageable hair without having to pay salon prices.

• Shampoo
• Conditioner
• Spray Gel
• Styling Mousse
• Hairspray

Step away from the Aqua Net and head over to your favorite drugstore to check out the new Aussie Opposites Attract Hair Care Collection .

Always on the lookout for product that will add volume and body to our fine, limp hair—we turned to T3 Plump Heat Seeking Liquid Hair Plumper after our friend Amber gushed about its wonderfulness. (Have you seen Amber’s hair? Better than Serena Vanderwoodsen’s .)

We’ve given this product so many chances. It’s been over a month and we still reach for it each morning hoping that today will be the day it finally performs for us.

Sadly, that day has yet to come.

For someone with Serena Vanderwoodsen hair (aka: tons of hair; aaka: Amber ) we can see how this product could be a dream. For someone with not so much, baby-fine hair (aka: yours truly) it’s just not happening.

To achieve voluminous hair, nothing beats our Amplify Volumizing System by Matrix . If all else fails, we know Amplify will save the day for us and our hair.

Summer hair is easy hair. Who wants to mess with styling tools when it’s 85 degrees and you’re heading out the door to the beach?
