Add Volume

“Sexy hair should have natural texture and volume,” says L.A. hairstylist Giannandrea, who has created sultry looks on stars like Eva Mendes and Drew Barrymore. He suggests spraying hair evenly with volumizer (such as Oscar Blandi No Gravity Volumizing Spray, $18) and combing through before drying. However, since movement is key to sexy hair, he warns against additional products because “heavy styling aids can cause the look to go limp.”

Lots of Layers

There’s a reason wind machines are a photo-shoot staple: Hair that’s tousled is more provocative than stiff, straight planks. So fake the breezy effects of a blower with swinging layers. If you have medium to thick hair, ask your stylist for choppy layers all the way around your head (like Jennifer Aniston’s). If you have fine strands, all it takes is a few chin-grazing pieces in front.

Condition First

For silky strands, apply a treatment mask to dry hair for 10 minutes before you shampoo. This allows natural oils to penetrate the cuticle and soften it from within. After rinsing, lather your scalp with a gentle shampoo to remove dirt and residue.

Knotty is Nice

The most appealing looks aren’t perfect. Gisele Bundchen’s mane man Harry Josh tells us how to re-create her signature rumpled style: “Flip your hair upside down and give it a good shake. Then flip it back over, scrunch the crown, and finger-comb the ends.”

Veer Off Center

“A low side part works on every face shape,” says Josh. Use the end of a rattail comb to draw a line from the hairline at the outer corner of one eyebrow diagonally back to the center of the crown. It creates a sultry swoop in front while maintaining balance on both sides.

How Often Should You Wash Your Hair?
Should You Be Shampooing Daily?

Q: I don’t have time to style it every morning, and it looks better on the second day. How often should I suds up?

A: Washing your hair regularly is necessary to remove the buildup of dirt, oils, and hair products, but many stylists actually recommend not washing your hair every day, because shampoo can strip the hair of its natural oils. Answer these questions to figure out how often you should wash your hair:

• Is your hair oily or dry?
• Oil glands in the scalp produce sebum, which travels down the hair shaft to lubricate your hair and keep it healthy. Hair can get especially oily during puberty, when you’re PMSing, or if you’re taking certain hormones. People with oily hair should consider washing their hair daily or at least every other day. If your hair is dry, it may be a sign that it’s damaged. Look for shampoos specifically formulated for dry hair, which will coat the hair shafts, fill in damaged areas, and help your hair look and feel smoother and more manageable. Try Garnier Fructis Moisture Works Fortifying Shampoo and Conditioner.
• Do you process your hair?
• Chemical processing, such as perming, relaxing, bleaching, and coloring, as well as heat processing, like blow-drying, hot-curling, and flat-ironing, can make hair more fragile. Repeated wetting and drying can also weaken hair, so if your hair is damaged, you should consider washing it no more than every other day.
• Your hair short or long, curly or straight?
• Short hair and long, fine hair both get greasy fast because there’s less surface area for the scalp’s natural oils to spread to, so it should be washed daily, or at least every other day. If you have curly, coiled, or coarse hair, it’s more difficult for the oil to migrate down the shaft, so shampooing just once or twice a week can be enough.
• Do you use a lot of hair products?
• If you do, they can build up and make it easier for dirt, dust, and pollution to stick to your hair, so try to wash your hair every day. Regular washing will help prevent buildup and make your hair easier to style.
• Do you have a scalp rash?
• Seborrheic dermatitis, aka dandruff, is caused by an overgrowth of yeast that feeds on scalp oils. In fact, the flakes that appear to be “dry” scalp are often yeast overgrowth. If you have a scalp rash, wash your hair daily to reduce both oils and yeast, and try an over-the-counter medicated shampoo like Nizoral or Selsun Blue.

Follow these steps to create Swift’s faux bob:

Step 1: Create a deep side part in dry hair.

Step 2: Whether your hair is curly or straight, you’ll want to curl it with a curling iron to either add curls or simply define the ones you’ve got. Spritz a heat-protecting spray (try Tresemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray, $3.79) on each section of hair before wrapping your hair around the iron.

Step 3: Start tucking and securing the ends of your hair to the base of your hairline in order to create a shorter-looking length. Crisscross the pins as you slide them in to give your look staying power. Finish with strong hold hairspray (try Rusk W8less Plus Extra Strong Hold Shaping Control Hairspray, $13.95).

As winter season is approaching so does the winter skin care routine. Here are some of the expert ways for saving money on   great money saving beauty secrets :

• Style your hair wavy so that you can put off haircuts longer it’s harder to see grown-out layers and split ends in curly hair.
• Before you get highlights, tell your colorist how often you’re willing to return for touch-ups. If you want only three appointments a year, the colorist will give you fewer, more subtle highlights.

• Every other time you go for a single-process color, have just the hairline and crown dyed. You should be charged half the usual price, and your hair will be less damaged.
• Buy eye shadows that come in a trio; the shades are already coordinated. In one purchase, you get a highlight, crease, and dark shade, which also doubles as eyeliner.
• Skip salon deep-conditioning treatments. Instead, buy a L’Oréal or Pantene hair mask at the drugstore, add a quarter cup of olive oil to three-quarters cup of the mask, and warm it in the microwave. Apply on towel-dried hair starting at your ends, comb through, and cover your hair with a plastic cap. Wait at least 15 minutes before you rinse.

• Invest in four high-quality haircuts a year. A masterly cut grows out beautifully, and four good haircuts usually cost less than 12 bad ones.
• If you color your hair, always use shampoos that are safe for color-treated hair. You’ll cut down on how frequently you need to re-dye because these shampoos won’t strip the color.
• To make foundation last longer (and look more natural), use less than you normally do and add a little water. If you need more coverage on certain spots, you don’t have to buy a separate concealer—just use the foundation straight from the bottle (it’s usually most concentrated around the top).
• Stop wearing colored nail polish you won’t need to return to the salon as frequently because chips won’t be as obvious.
• If you go to a salon that has head or master stylists along with junior or staff stylists, ask if you can get your first cut with a top stylist, then schedule follow-up trims with a less expensive one.
• If you have fine to medium-thick hair: Instead of getting a full head of highlights, ask for a partial T-section. The colorist will apply highlights on just your part and the front sections around your face. This method is cheaper and faster, and your hair looks thicker because the darker hair underneath the highlights creates the illusion of depth.
• Some salons let you schedule as many free bang trims as you want. If your salon doesn’t offer this complimentary service, ask for a lesson on how to do it yourself.
