How I Get My Everyday Loose Curls

I am so excited to finally share an updated hair tutorial featuring how I get my everyday loose curls. I'm definitely not a pro, but this is my regular routine and my favorite way to style my hair. Not only is it a low maintenance hairstyle, but I actually figured out how to get my curls to last a good 2 (maybe 3) days without restyling. Don't worry, I'm sharing my secrets below. I hope you enjoy this loose curls hair tutorial!

Thanks for stopping by! xx Ashley HOW TO GET LOOSE CURLS

  1. Start with clean hair. If time allows, I let my hair air dry overnight. This gives it some texture and helps keep the curl bouncy. Before curing, I use Oribe Royal Blowout. This heat protecting mist helps fight frizz, heat damage and gives a subtle sheen to your hair. It's weightless and works on both wet or dry hair. I know it's pricey, but it's good. The directions say to use it on damp hair, but my hair stylist recommends using it on wet or dry hair.
  2. Section your hair. I usually divide ...

Whether it's adding a pink lip or reintroducing your favorite bronzer to your routine, I've got you covered. ...

Day 2 NYFW

Happy Leap Year! I hope you guys are enjoying your extra 24 hrs. I wanted to share this look from Day 2 at NYFW and some more information about our stay in New York. I've recieved quite a few questions about places to eat and stay while in New York, so I wanted to be sure and address those as well. This year, we stayed at the Conrad New York. I absolutely loved this hotel and it's beautiful view of the Hudson River. If you saw my snapchats (username: the teacher diva), you know what I'm talking about! The rooms were spacious and the service was top notch. Many of you asked, what does a blogger do during Fashion Week? Well, there are many different things to do as a blogger/press, but I would say the main goal is to give coverage for the brand and share the new collection with your audience. Whether it's sharing a video from backstage on Snapchat or a still image captured on Instagram, it's important to share those exciting moments for the brand. I love looking at what's happening backstage or see a preview of what's to come in the next season! During our stay, we had many meetings and showroom visits in the midst of the shows and presentaions. This makes for a very busy few days, but creates an opportunity to build some amazing relationships and meet some incredible people! We decided to use

I find that when my hair is dirty, it actually turns out better when doing a braided updo such as this. Start by spraying dry shampoo all over hair, focusing on roots. I've tried numerous brands, and one that I am currently loving is the Moroccan Oil Dry Shampoo (I use the color light and it helps keep my roots not so harsh). Use at the roots for added volume and a matte texture. Be sure to brush out the powder with a
