I'm so pumped about today's post y'all! I sure love gettin' my hair blown out by somebody else and having them style it too! It's such a great service that I honestly a) need to get them more often (#selfcare) and b) wish I would have started getting them sooner! See, y'all know I've got a ton of hair, y'all know I live for dry shampoo, especially since having Bennett almost 14 months ago! So, if you're a new mama, or you're tired of your look, and aren't in need of a hair cut, but want to change things up...oh, and have the most beautiful hair ever, for DAYS! Then, I definitely think it's time to give the old blowout a try! I went to Beauty Brands in Overland Park and had them style me up. They gave me the Classic Blowout, then styled up a killer new look for the holidays, and even put all of my heavy mane up into an up-do, and at a record time too! Check out my breakdown of how each look was achieved and watch the video of my day with Beauty Brands shot by the incredibly talented August Light Studio!

Why you should get a blowout #BeautyBrands

Blowouts:

As a newish mama, the idea of someone else blow drying my hair sounds like a dream and a luxury, right? I mean we don't need to get into showering, let alone the time it takes to then blow out my mane. So, I'm a fan of blowouts because they wash, condition, comb, blow dry, and style your hair for you! And the prices range depending on the stylist, but in KC they range from about $20 - $27 just depending on the stylist you use. It just depends upon the level that your stylist is, they're all great, I just wanted to clarify for y'all. Also, I love that the professional blow out last what seems like forever (and yes that's why it's worth it)! They offer three different kinds of blowouts too: The Classic (the one I received), The Super Sleek, and The Breeze. You can't go wrong with whatever one you choose. And I'm sorry in advance for you how much you're going to love these! Now onto gettin' this done for your holiday parties.

Holiday Hairstyle with curls and braids #BeautyBrands

Braided Hair Style:

Once my hair was blown out, and curled we got to town on creating a fresh look for the holidays! The Beauty Brands Stylist sectioned off a 1" section at the very top of my hairline. She french braided the section of hair on the top of my head, and then continued with a classic braid. She pulled out pieces of the braid to make it appear fuller, which I love that she did that! It's makes it look so good! She tied the bottom of the braid with a clear elastic to hold it all together!

Holiday Hairstyle - Up Do you'll love #BeautyBrands

Holiday Up-Do:

We brought back my natural part that happens to be on the left side (there far less calics than my right side of my hairline). She then loosely french braided my away from my face on the left side. And continued to pull in chunkier pieces into the braid along the back of my head. She then took the loose pieces and end pieces and pinned them up into the braid, that was pinned up too. This was really a quick style and looks so chic!
