Style Your Hair: 3 Easy Everyday Looks

It’s something of an age old dilemma – no one is ever happy with what they have. Girls with curly locks wish their hair was straight and those of us with straight hair wish their hair was curly or wavy.

Why can’t we just be content with what we’ve been given? Aside from curling my ends under, I’ve always struggled with curling my hair. It was likely due to my inability to curl my hair but also my God given texture. I’m 1/16 Cherokee on my mom’s side alone, so my stick straight hair doesn’t like to much more than frizz. I’ve recently realized we really can have it all. We can embrace our everyday…only faster AND have fun with new textures and styles. To get there we just need to use the right products.

Conair Q3 Hair Drying Times

On most days my hair looks like this. Since Cakes started kindergarten we’ve been showering at night and with my hair taking on a not quite wavy, not quite straight, not quite presentable texture whenever it’s not dried I usually end up keeping the girls waiting and awake even longer while I dry my hair. Or, I don’t dry it and just put it up because it’s faster. But my new hairdryer has changed all of that. I’ve had a hard road with expensive hair dryers failing on me, not once but twice. And since then, I’ve been using Conair to ensure my hair gets dry every day. My newest dryer, the Infiniti Pro by Conair® 3Q™ Brushless Motor Dryer, dries my hair faster, with less noise, and a lower temperature due to some advanced technologies like a brushless motor. I timed drying my deceptively thick hair twice – the first time with hair that had air-dried for 20 minutes (above left) and the second after allowing it to air dry for only 5 minutes (above right).

The box touts 70% faster drying time and that is definitely the case. With showering at night and saving so much using my new hairdryer, I have more time available to actually style my hair and mix things up from time to time. While at Walmart picking up the Infiniti Pro by Conair® 3Q™ Brushless Motor Dryer I couldn’t help but pick up the Infiniti Pro by Conair® Curl Secret® as well.

I’ve been eyeing up the Infiniti Pro by Conair® Curl Secret® for a year now and am just in awe of the magic it creates. As someone that’s kind of hair challenged for lack of a better word, this makes achieving the perfect look simple. Everyday my hair looks the same for the most part. Even on special occasions I fail to really do anything fancy with my hair aside from pulling it up.

But this week I mixed things up! Using the Infiniti Pro by Conair® Curl Secret® was incredibly easy too. You just grab a small section of hair – I’m talking 1/2″ to 1″ section of hair. Since my hair’s so thick, the amount of hair that I can actually curl at one time is a lot less than I would have thought. There are 2 temperature settings and 3 timer settings to help you achieve the look you crave!

To create the look above, follow these easy steps:

1. Wash and dry hair as usual. Avoid deep conditioner as this will weigh your hair down.

2. Squeeze excess water from hair, then comb using a wide-toothed comb.

3. Spray heat protectant all over hair to ensure your tresses are protected.

4. Use the Infiniti Pro by Conair® 3Q™ Brushless Motor Dryer to dry hair. Use the Conair Velvet Paddle Brush to brush while styling for smoothness and to create volume at the roots.

5. Lightly mist with shine spray, then section hair off using Conair bobby pins. Start from the bottom and go up to the top layers.

6. Use the Infiniti Pro by Conair® Curl Secret® to curl your hair. I used the highest setting (#3) so that my curls were tight and would last all day and into the next creating second-day curls!

6. When complete, use a comb to gather hair at an angle and secure with a hair tie just below your ear. This creates an elegant, yet casual curly side pony!

7. Set your look with hairspray.

In just 15 minutes my hair went from flat to fab. I gained some extra body and confidence in the process. Not only that I was able to take my hairstyle from daytime, but preschool also drop off/playdate hair to date night.

Date nights are few and far between around here. Babysitting services are such a precious commodity, I want to make sure I have as much time as possible with my husband and spend less time in the bathroom primping. With a little touch up from the Infiniti Pro by Conair® Curl Secret® and some extra hairspray, my hair went from day to night in no time at all!

And as if perfect curls in 15 minutes wasn’t awesome enough, the curls that are created with the Infiniti Pro by Conair® Curl Secret® are so amazing that they’ll last through the second day. I’ve tried testing the longevity of the curls not once, but twice now. The first time I was so excited about trying the Infiniti Pro by Conair® Curl Secret® I curled my hair at 10pm. The second time I was able enjoy the curls from daytime to date night and then the next day! What’s not to love?! Do you struggle with curl holding in your hair?

Crazy thing... I used to have straight/wavy hair. Now I have spiral curls and sometimes even a white girl fro depending on the weather. RSD changed my hair. My oldest daughter would love this hair curler though, would make a great Christmas gift!
