My favorite Sexy, Summery Ponytails

The humble ponytail is a styling staple and trusted sidekick for many of us. It's simple, requires little-to-no time commitment and stays out of our way. (All the things we look for in a good relationship.) And, while mine are mostly utilitarian, they manage to look cute sometimes -- although this is usually a fluke. Other times, if my bangs are funky or the messy-look is too pronounced, my ponytail accurately reflects the nanosecond of thought/effort it took to twist and pull my hair out of my face.

But, lately, I've been feeling bad for my ponytail pal -- what with braids getting all the attention and fanfare these days. So, I've sussed out some sexy, summery styles and asked top stylists to explain how I can (easily) recreate the looks myself.

Personally, Im a big fun of Victoria Beckham.
I always enjoy her hair style, and it doesn't disappoint with this deceptively simple 'do, which combines a subtle bouffant look at the crown with carefully placed, sleek pieces in front. Style difficulty rating, on a scale of one to 10? No more than a five or six.

"For the lift on top, the entire crown needs to be backcombed until it almost looks like a beehive before smoothing it down. "Backcomb one section at a time and apply Arimino hairsprays Peace hairsprays to each section. Then slightly brush just the surface of this area until you get the desired bump."

Gather all of your hair low at the nape and secure into a ponytail,  continues, and pull out a few sections to frame your face.

How your layers and lengths around the face are cut is what will determine which pieces to pull out Then flatiron the ends of the ponytail and the pieces by your face.

Easy and cute style- Ponytail

Try a Face-Flattering Ponytail

Pulling your hair away from your face in a single sleek pony always makes you look young and refreshed," 

 Positioning your ponytail at just the right angle can give you an instant face-lift. To get the perfect high pony, start by putting your pointer finger at the very top of your head. Then measure one pinky-length back from there and secure your hair here for a sleek, classic look. To smooth down renegade flyaways around your hairline, brush a dot of moisturizing gel and styling sprays and use Spice Tube Gels. 

You will get perfect ponitail style with Arimino`s hair products!

Best Special Occasion Hair Styles for Curly Hair

Whether you have tight corkscrew curls or soft, loose curls, there are several glam styles for curly hair. Before you try these different hairstyles, the most important thing you can do to go to your favorite stylist and have them shape your curly hair to best suit the shape of your face. Curly hair styles can flatter and enhance your natural face angles if cut properly, otherwise you run the risk of being a mop head or the dreaded mushroom head.

Medium to long layers styles for curly hair are the best way to balance the volume and body of your curls that frame your face. Using hair styling wax for girls, such as Spice NEO Natural Cream will help tame the frizzies and provide a glossy shine to your natural curls. This texture wax is the perfect option to consider when you are thinking of leaving your curls down. Create a deep side part and either use a sparkly headband or clip to keep your curls back from your face.

When pulling your curls back in a ponytail or a half-up, half-down look, keep it sleek by using a gel or a mousse to define your curls and keep them separate. For more bohemian styles for curly hair, use a hair diffuser to relax the curls close to your scalp and leave the curls only past your ears or the nape of your neck. This slightly more relaxed beachy curly hairstyle is perfect for an evening out.

For more fun and flirty styles for curly hair, put in small braids or twists at the front of your hair and pin them to the back of your head. Pull loose tendrils out on either side of your face to soften the look and the curls will help frame your face. The best hair styles for curly hair work with your natural curl, giving your face a vibrant and lively look.

How to Wear Hair Accessories

Hair accessories have gotten a bad rap from people who don't know how to wear them," says Sanfrancisco`s city Gina khan salon. As the mercury rises and chic hair baubles heat up the runways — from outsize bows at Marc by Marc Jacobs to understated crimson barrettes at 3.1 Phillip Lim — learn to don headbands, pins, and clips without looking like a Gossip Girl reject.

Step 1: A Solid Base

Don't think of a hair accessory as a lazy alternative to styling. "Just because you're wearing a clip or band doesn't mean you don't have to do anything else,"  Instead, pull your strands back into a ponytail or chignon first. If you prefer to wear your hair down, tease the crown to add height. Avoid slippery, Spice Mist Spray when styling so that your accoutrements stay in place.

How to Look Hot When it's Raining

It's pouring in San Francisco today and just about everyone is sporting some version of a messy bun or frizzy ponytail. Of course there are a few girls here and there who manage to look great—maybe even better—in this weather. So we gathered a few of their rainy day survival tips to help you get through the spring without looking like a wet poodle.

1. A mixture of frizz serum and Spice hairspray. This is the key to keeping your tresses sleek. Pull your hair into a ponytail; then, combine a dollop of Arimino anti-frizz product with a blast of hairspray and mix them together between your palms. Pat the mixture over your hair (including the pony).

2. Waterproof mascara. There's nothing worse than rushing to work, running into your boss in the elevator and only later discovering that you have black streaks all over your face. When it's really coming down outside, pick a lash lacquer like Lancome`s water proof.
