As you may have noticed in last week’s outfit post, I decided to go for the lob! You guys were seriously so helpful in my decision making process – thank you for the advice and most of all for just telling me to go for it and give it a try. You rule.

With a new haircut comes a new styling routine; you know how it goes – you leave the salon with perfectly blown out hair and everything is great but then once you get home and try to do it yourself, the results are not quite the same. Luckily I’ve had a bit of help and I’ve teamed up with Suave to try out their new Suave Professionals® Luxe Style Infusion line which is full of salon-inspired styling products that allow women to #StyleItYourself (#SIY) and get the salon looks they love at home every day.

The best part of my new haircut has been how much quicker my hair is to style now that there is less of it which means I’m relying less on my go-to air dried curls and dabbling a bit more in new styles. My latest favorite? A sleek and smooth look. And for all of my fellow curly haired gals out there, you know this isn’t always the easiest to maintain once you leave your apartment and Mother Nature enters the equation.

My tips for how to get (and keep!) this look for yourself:

1. Rub a dime sized amount of Suave Professionals® Luxe Smoothing Cream into towel dried hair and let hair air dry. Think of this product as your secret weapon for weather proofing your hair – it’ll protect from frizz for up to 72 hours and leave your hair ultra sleek and shiny!

2. Divide dry hair into sections and straighten with a flat iron. Pay careful attention to the hair sections at the nape of your neck and back of your head to ensure everything has been evenly straightened (there’s nothing worse than realizing you’ve got a curl still in the back after you’ve already left the house!)

3. Finish with Suave Professionals® Luxe Smoothing Hairspray to tame any fly aways and lock that smooth and straight look in place. I’ve been loving this hairspray because it doesn’t leave hair sticky or crunchy – it’s an ultra-fine mist that fights frizz (even in 95% humidity!) while still leaving your hair touchable.

And if you’re looking for even more hair inspiration, Suave Professionals® makes it easy to “Style It Yourself”, or “SIY”, with on-trend style products that work as well as a salon brand, and simple, three step style instructions that are even on the back of packaging to help women achieve salon-quality styles quickly and easily at home.

So go for it! Be sure to show us how you #StyleItYourself with @Suavebeauty on Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter.
