How To Get Hair Like Jordana Brewster



How To Get Hair Like Jordana Brewster


If you have seen Jordana Brewster on television or in any of her feature films, you will probably remember her lusciously styled hair. Jordana’s gorgeous, dark locks fall just below her shoulders. Her bangs are cut across her forehead, and her hair is slightly textured to fit the shape of her face. If you like the look of one-toned, straight, simple hair, than Jordana’s look is exactly what you need- and here is how you get it:

1. Detangle and smoothen hair before you get into the shower, then apply a moisturizing shampoo which will maximize the likelihood that your hair will turn out looking pin-straight. There are many “straightening” shampoos available for this purpose.
2. Do not shower in hot water, this can dry your hair out and make it less silky. Additionally, hot water will prevent the moisturizing shampoo from doing its job.
3. Finish your shower off with a cold splash of water into your hair. This will increase the overall shine of your hair.
4. Scrunch hair dry to avoid hair breakage. Never rub your hair with a towel!
5. Apply a shining serum, and use a flat brush while blow drying your hair in different sections. This will prevent you from missing any kinks in your hair, which can ruin your look completely.
6. After you are satisfied with the look of your hair, apply some anti-frizz serum. This will keep your hair looking light, silky, and smooth throughout the day. Additionally, anti-frizz serum is extremely important in hot weather because heat tends to make hair dry out and frizz up. So don’t forget your anti-frizz during those summer months!

The Pros And Cons To Blow Drying

The Pros And Cons To Blow Drying

There are both pros and cons which come along with choosing to blow dry your hair rather than letting it air dry. Many people choose to blow dry their hair in moderation and letting it air-dry a few days out of the week. This is a great option as you can allow your hair time to recuperate from using a blow dryer.

It is no secret that using a blow dryer is by far the most convenient way of styling your hair. However, if you use a blow dryer too often, it can become very dangerous for your hair. You may have noticed on weeks where you have had to use a blow dryer more than usual that your hair begins to dry out. This is because excessive use of hair dryers causes damage and breakage which can become very difficult to repair.

If you decide to blow your hair dry on a daily basis, you must be sure to avoid blowing the hair dry when it is soaking wet. Not only will this take a very long time to dry, but you are unnecessarily prolonging the amount of time which you are applying damaging heat to your hair. Also, be sure to keep the hairdryer 6-8 feet away from your head at all times. Holding the dryer close to your head can severely dries out your hair, and you may even burn your scalp! Lastly, do not dry your hair all the way through. The best option is to stop using the blow dryer while your hair is still damp.
