Easy Ways to Temporarily Change Your Hair
We've fallen for these salon-skipping, money-saving products.
Aveda Be Curly Style-Prep
One curly-haired editor has used the Be Curly suite of products since she embraced her tendrils (and gave up blowouts) three years ago. A nickel-size squirt in the palm of the hand yields four days of ringlets atop the head.
Available at Aveda salons and online at aveda.com, $24.
Fekkai Salon Glaze
Shampoo, condition, and then apply. Go about the rest of your shower business, and after you blow-dry you can expect soft, smooth locks.
Available at fekkai.com, $28.
Hairdo by HairUWear Clip-In Bangs
Bangs are a major commitment. So several editors opted for the clip-in version for a day before deciding to permanently snip. We won't lie: You really have to fidget with the forehead toupee to get it to look natural, and if the hair color doesn't match exactly, forget it. It is, however, the best way to answer the age-old question, "Should I get bangs?"
Available at ulta.com, $29.
John Frieda Frizz-Ease 3-Day Straight Styling Spray
Consider it a time-saver for your morning routine. Sales manager Trish usually blow-drys or straightens her hair three times a week, but an application of John Frieda's spray reduces frizz, meaning a few more minutes of sleep.
Available at drugstore.com, $10.
THE BEAUTY PRODUCTS OUR EDITORS SWEAR BY
Living Proof Restore Discovery Set
With a quick shampoo, condition, and mask application, the combo got our frizzed-out hair back into fighting shape. Our locks were so smooth, we finally kicked our daily flat-iron habit.
Available at livingproof.com, $29.
L'Oreal Paris Root Rescue
Keep sprouting roots under cover between trips to the beauty parlor. The no-hassle, comblike applicator distributes conditioning color gel just where you need it, and after about ten minutes, you can rinse easy knowing half your paycheck is still in the bank.
Available at lorealparisusa.com, $8.
SarahPotempa The Wrap-Up
Can't quite master the sock bun? A sleek chignon in 30 seconds or less is still within reach. Just slide, roll, and bend the jumbo pipe cleaner (no spray or stylist required) for a full bun that sits at the nape of your neck.
Available at sarahpotempa.com, $12.
