Easy New Looks & Hairstyles with Conair #HeartMyHair

Easy, Go-To Hairstyles with Conair® 3Q™ Brushless Motor Dryer and the Infiniti Pro by Conair® Curl Secret®

I love playing around with new hairstyles, but sometimes I feel I don’t have the right tools to make it happen. Not only that, I don’t like to spend a ton of time on my hair in the mornings because I would rather spend it with my dog, making breakfast or just relaxing before taking off for a day of work. All of that has changed now with the Infiniti Pro by Conair® 3Q™ Brushless Motor Dryer and the Infiniti Pro by Conair® Curl Secret®! Both are available at your local Wal-Mart where the Curling Iron/Hair Dryer sign is!

Conair Curl Secret and Brushless Motor Dryer

Now let’s start out with the Conair® 3Q™ Brushless Motor Dryer … it is a LIFESAVER because let’s be honest, who wants to stand around blowing drying your hair for longer than you need to (see more on it here)?! It might seem a bit pricey, but it is SO worth it. It cuts my hair drying time down SO much and still keeps my hair feeling soft and smooth – and looking sleek and chic. I honestly used to avoid my hair dryer as much as possible because it usually meant a full 30 minutes of holding hot air over my head. Not anymore! Using the Conair velvet paddle brush, I accomplish a sleek straight hairdo in less than 15 minutes.

STRAIGHT & SLEEK

  1. Use the brush to ensure hair stays tangle free while blow drying it! Brushing through with your fingers works well too.
  2. When hair is completely dry, switch to the “snowflake” cold setting. Using cold air on your hair helps settle it and reduces frizzy/fly aways.
  3. Because the blow dryer works well to blow dry your hair quickly, you only need to use a straightener on the ends of your hair to achieve the straight & sleek look.
  4. Spray in a glossy oil to add shine and smoothness.

Now, I like to change up  my hairstyles, but need to keep them easy… again I don’t like to spend too much time in the morning on my hair! The Infiniti Pro by Conair® Curl Secret® is an amazing tool that gives me the perfect curls… every time. Some mornings when I attempt to curl my hair it just doesn’t turn out, some curls are good, some are bad and then my hair looks like a hot mess (emphasis on the mess). The Curl Secret takes only minutes and I have BEAUTIFUL curls to work with. Now that I have luscious looking locks, I can easily create multiple hairstyles in minutes. Here is a short (hyperlapsed) video I posted on Instagram showing you just how easy it is!

Infinity by Conair Curl Secret

multibraid twist

MULTI-BRAID TWIST BACK

During the work day, I love to have my hair pulled out of my face, so creating a few braids of different sizes on one side (the side that you have more hair on if you do a side part, otherwise middle part, choose either side), twisting back and securing them with Conair bobby pins. This look is SO easy to do, but definitely provides a great option for something different than just straight or curled hair. I was inspired by Amber of Barefoot Blonde, who shares tons of simple, braided hairstyles for everyday looks.

Mutli-braid tutorial

1. Start with about a 1/2 inch of hair and braid back, securing it with a Conair bobby pin.

2. Next, braid back a little bit more than a 1/2 inch of hair, pull back next to the other braid and secure with a bobby pin.

3. Make the final braid even a little bigger, close to 3/4 of an inch and pull back around by other braids. Secure with a bobby pin.

vintage glam curls with conair

VINTAGE GLAM

There are lots of ways to achieve vintage glam curls, but one of the easiest ways for me is to brush out my curls with a paddle brush. Since the Conair Curl Secret provides perfect curls, I don’t have to worry about whether or not this will give me that glam look – it really is fool proof!

vintage glam curls

1. Run fingers through curls to make sure there are no tangles, you don’t want your hair to be tangled while brushing through it.

2. Take the Conair velvet touch paddle brush and begin at the top part of your curls and brush through gently.

3. Finish brushing out curls at the bottom ends, but very carefully and gently. You can always brush more to achieve the look, but if you brush too much to begin with, you might take away too much of the curl.

4. Use a few Conair bobby pins to pin your curls to one side (pin to the side where more hair is if you do a side part).

Mess Bun with Bow

MESSY BUN WITH BOW

Messy buns are a LOT easier when you already have a ton of volume and curl in your hair. After brushing out your curls to achieve the glam style, you could also easily pull your hair up into a bun. This look is perfect for every day without the bow, but can also be a glam style for the upcoming holidays by adding a red, green or festive bow as I did here!

messy bun with red bow

1. Having voluminous, vintage curls wigs gives a great base to make a big, messy bun. Start by pulling your hair back as tight as possible and pulling through a bun. Pull it through just enough so there is some hair on both sides.

2. Use a LOT and I mean as many bobby pins as you need to start pulling parts of the bun and securing around the middle.

3. Use bobby pins to excess hair around the bun.

4. Take a red ribbon (I used red chevron ribbon for the holidays!) and wrap around the bun.

5. Tie the ribbon into a bow and secure each end of the bow with a bobby pin.

And there you have it! Lots of easy, simple hairstyles for everyday wear, including the upcoming holidays. Make sure to check out your local Wal-Mart for the Conair® 3Q™ Brushless Motor Dryer and the Infiniti Pro by Conair® Curl Secret®!

    Thanks so much for sharing these hair-styles. I can never get the side-braided look right. Looks perfect on you and so does that bun. My hair since I got it shorter doesn’t look great with the sock bun now. Love the bow around yours.

    P.S. Did you see I gave you a shout-out over the weekend? Check it out, Rachel! =))

    My favorite is the multi-braid twist! You are so talented with your hair! That’s the one thing I feel I really need to improve on as I can only straighten or curl it at the moment. Lame, I know! I’ve been using BabyBliss products but I’m definitely curious on ConAir products now. Thanks for all these amazing and helpful tips! xx

Hello friends! It’s been awhile again (surprise, Hello friends! It’s been awhile again (surprise, surprise) I’ve been around... been creeping around here 😂 but haven’t posted in forever!

So hello hello! I know the world is still in a crazy state - and I haven’t lost sight of that. But like many people, I’m trying to take it all one day at a time and find joy in the small things. Aside from that, things have been busy!...

* I started a new job in November! I’m excited to be back at a software company and looking forward to the day I get to meet some of my co-workers in person! 💻💃🏼
* My husband and I celebrated 3 years in October 👰🏼‍♀️... we were able to celebrate with a nice home-cooked dinner (by the hubby of course 😏☺️) and a bottle of wine from the winery he proposed at @ridgevineyards
* I have been enjoying being more present in the moment and spending less time on my phone. As much as I miss this community... the additional time I’ve gotten with my husband and dog won’t last forever, so I’ve decided to savor it ❤️❤️❤️

And this is one of the only pictures I’ve taken this year 😂 I actually did my hair and makeup for Thanksgiving (ya know to hang out with my husband and dog), and even though my curls only lasted two seconds, I look happy and I was happy and I am happy (as happy as I think anyone can be in the middle of a pandemic). So wanted to say hi 🙋🏼‍♀️ and hope you’re taking care! 🤗
I love you and I love fall. Still love looking bac I love you and I love fall. Still love looking back at our engagement photos 😍 #throwback #engagementphotos #youaremyeverything

It’s been awhile and A LOT has happened in our w It’s been awhile and A LOT has happened in our world since I last posted to my feed. There is a lot I want to say and I will be posting a lot more soon, but first & foremost...

Black Lives Matter.

I wish I had posted about this in my feed sooner, but I honestly didn’t know what to say or how to say it. I spent way too long overthinking it versus just doing it. I know that’s not an excuse, and I know I have to do better. I’ve been spending a lot of time reflecting and educating myself as well as finding ways to help and be proactive. I am committing myself to do more and do better. I know it’s not enough and I’m not sure it will ever be enough... but I will never stop trying. 

The most important thing I learned is that my silence in the past was unacceptable and a huge part of the problem. I thought not knowing what to say and worrying about saying the wrong thing meant it was ok to be silent. It WAS NOT and IS NOT ok.

I have so much more to learn and to do, but one thing is for sure... I will no longer be silent. I will continue to keep the anti-racism resources link in my bio - as it has been a great resource for me and know it has been for many others. Again, I’m not excusing myself for not posting in my feed sooner but I will continue to share and hope to keep the momentum going 🖤 Black Lives Matter 🖤
Hey friends! How are you?! We made it through anot Hey friends! How are you?! We made it through another *very unusual* & crazy/scary week. I hope you are staying safe & well!
.
Yesterday we took Emma @emmaminiaussie to the vet for her annual vet check up. It was her first appointment at a new vet since our move, and we had to let her go in alone. My anxiety has been off the charts lately, as I’m sure it has been for many of you, and heightened even more by this. Emma is truly our child, our daughter, and I am always anxious wanting to ensure she’s happy and doing well.
.
Sitting outside in the car waiting for the call from our new vet was difficult, but I’m so happy to report her health at almost 8 years old is wonderful! She’s thriving and it makes my heart so happy. Another great reminder during these times to be thankful for what matters most - your health and your loved ones’ health (including your fur babies 🐶). So with another long caption today just wishing health and safety to all of you right now! And another thank you to essential workers on the frontlines ❤️🙏🏻 #emmatheminiaussie #loveconquersall #stayhealthy
Hello Instagram family… it’s been awhile. I ha Hello Instagram family… it’s been awhile. I have not posted in my feed since February… and so this is going to be a long one since life as we know it has completely changed over the past month. 
I decided I needed a mental break from Instagram - not all social media - just Instagram. I have been unmotivated to post on this particular platform and was constantly posting old photos/photoshoots just to have something to post. So I took a break to refresh. 
Well, as you know, things started to escalate pretty quickly with COVID-19. I was just about ready to start posting again and BOOM. Just like that, everything in our world changed. It didn’t feel right to post my latest outfit at that moment… 
Things are still escalating, but I’m back here today because I’m longing for connection more than ever and because I want to say THANK you to so many people. 
Things are scary right now. They are uncertain and unfathomable. We are all trying to adapt to a new normal. I don’t have much to add to what others have been saying, but I do want to say I’m thinking of and praying for everyone, especially those directly affected by the pandemic. 
I also want to say thank you to everyone putting their lives at risk to help our country and our world during this time. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to healthcare workers, delivery drivers, grocery store workers, pharmacy/drugstore workers, app-based gig workers out in the field, restaurants who are feeding healthcare workers and feeding children lunches, teachers going above and beyond, to those helping get their parents, grandparents, friends, neighbors and others who are vulnerable the essentials they need to get through this. You are all HEROES and I can never express enough gratitude for what you are doing. 
I don’t have much else to say, but I hope to continue to connect with you all again on this platform. THANK YOU to everyone who is putting an effort into making a difference during this pandemic. Staying home means so much right now if you are able to! We will get through this together if we work together. Stay safe, stay well, and be kind ❤️ #stayhome #besafe #thankyou
