ends: Call me crazy, but I love the split-end look. When people ask me why my hair is so long, I tell them my dirty, little secret: I cut it once a year (if that), and when I don’t cut it, I get it “dusted.” Uhhh … I know what you’re thinking: “WTF is dusting?” Dusting is a technique where the stylist doesn’t take any length off; she just carefully snips the split ends off. The hair that’s taken off is so fine that it looks just like dust on the ground. Love, die, dead. My favorite trick on earth.
In any case, I feel like hairdressers all had a secret meeting and decided that if they told the world that their hair wouldn’t grow unless it was cut every three months, then they would make more money. I’m living proof that if you don’t cut your hair frequently, it will grow as long as you want. Besides, split ends are kind of “in” right now. That hippie chic Lauren Conrad look is hot, hot, hot. Dust away, ladies!
Hairstylist tips: Pick a stylist who has amazing hair. I think it’s weird when people go to hairdressers who have crappy hair. I mean, would you go to a doctor who was obese and sick? Probs not. So pick someone who has beautiful hair and knows what the hell he or she is doing.
Color: If you are like me, you color your hair. Please, please, please use a shampoo and conditioner that protects the color. ESP if you’ve spent an arm and leg on color, you want to preserve your color, not ruin it! Also, if you’re blonde, purple shampoo is a game changer; it takes the brassiness out of the hair and brightens the highlights.
Hair sunscreen: I use hair sunscreen just as much as I use regular SPF. Why? Well, because hair is also affected by the sun’s rays. My favorite is by Biolage and it’s known to shield the hair from UV rays. Use this daily and use extra for pool days.
OK, LET’S DISCUSS THE NITTY-GRITTY.
When it comes to your luscious locks, staying away from parabens and sulfates is a must.
But why?
Because they’re nasty-ass chemicals that you don’t want anywhere near your precious scalp. And if you can avoid them, why not?
They have the potential to cause skin irritation, eye irritation and damage to the hair follicles. Parabens, specifically, act as a preservative that supposedly rids bacteria.
Cheers to shiny, pretty hair!
Keep that crap away from your skin and hair; trust me.
Side note: Try to check all your products for sulfates and parabens. These suckers hide in moisturizers, makeup products and toothpaste.
Obviously you can’t control every product you use, but if you have the opportunity to choose, why not choose wisely?
And please oh please, eat your hair vitamins. There are so many foods that will promote hair growth and shine. Some of my favorite hair foods are: spinach, oysters, salmon, nuts, lentils and blueberries.
Check out my favorite hair care smoothie.
Overall, I eat these foods as much as possible, because who doesn’t like long, healthy hair?!
I’m also a big fan of massaging my scalp while showering. A deep massage on the scalp is known to promote hair growth and increase circulation. It’s also an amazing way to de-stress.
Oh, and naturally; my boyfriend gets a massage from me on his scalp daily—balding prevention!!
So! There you have it, all my sex kitten, dirty hair tricks/tips.

Fact: Just because it looked good on Rihanna doesn’t mean it will look good on you.
And, hey! Something else might look amazing on you and horrible on Rihanna!
Kim Kardashian is someone who is guilty of following trends. She simply doesn’t dress for her body type.
Like, sorry, Kanye; you’re not picking the right style for Kimmy K. TRY AGAIN.
My advice? Don’t follow the trends if they don’t
