Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly Collection for Tousled Hair


What's so special about it?
For sexy tousled perfectly imperfect hair. This newest collection from Herbal Essences is infused with wild violet and pomegranate, which smells divine! The styling mousse and hair spray are created using "spot welds", which spread out the holding power to different parts of your hair, rather than sticking it together like many other products to achieve the look. That means he can run his fingers through your hair without getting stuck! The line is designed to give you soft, malleable, sensual hair.

Celebrity Stylist Charles Barker Strahan who has primped the locks of Mariah Carey shares a few of his best tips to achieve sexy tousled hair at home:

1. Apply mousse to wet hair after washing and conditioning. Apply a small squirt of foam to the palm of your hand and rub your hands together so the product is all over your fingers. Massage the scalp with the product and work it through to the ends. Consider how much hair you have before applying. If you have thinner hair, use less.

2. For thick hair where you want to create lots of volume, apply a few squirts of the spray gel. Don't hold the product too close to your hair. The idea is to give it an overall mist. This same idea applies to the hairspray, which is used to set your look.

3. Blow dry your hair, or sleep on it damp and style the next morning.

4. Use a large barreled curling iron, curling your hair in sections. Loose, easy curls are best. Don't try to make it perfect. Allow for what Charles calls "Happy Accidents" where you experiment and have some fun. Charles described a happy accident he had with a flat iron where he created "pattycake curls" by twisting hair around his finger into pin curls and then sandwiching the curls with a flat iron. Who knew you could curl your hair with a flat iron?

5. Set the hair with hairspray, then work the finishing cream into the ends of the hair to seal the cuticle. Take a Kabuki brush, yes, the kind you use for your face.. but not the same one you use for your face and mist it with hairspray, then use it to tame your flyaways. Brilliant, no?
