Fashion & Beauty Tips for Teens

by Cassandra Morris

Hey teens! Here are more of my favorite fashion and beauty tips to try before your next dance—let me know what you think!

Use a Wide-Toothed Comb. After you get out of the shower, what do you use to brush out your hair? If it’s anything other than a wide-toothed comb, you may be causing unnecessary damage to your locks. Wide-toothed combs are gentler, prevent strands from snapping and breaking, and still remove all of your tangles.

If You Don’t Love It, Don’t Buy It. We’ve all been guilty of over-shopping. While sometimes you end up with a killer dress that you wear over and over… other times, a jacket will linger in your closet unworn for months. To save money and closet space, carefully consider every piece before you buy it. Your wallet and wardrobe will benefit from extremely selective buying.

Wash With Sulfate-Free Shampoo. Sulfates are in the majority of shampoos on the market—they’re what cause shampoo to lather. But, they’re not totally necessary. I have found sulfate-free shampoos to be less drying and kinder to my hair. Check the ingredients to see if anything with the word “sulfate” is listed.

Freeze On Your Makeup. After your makeup is applied, open your freezer and stick your face in it for about ten seconds. The cold air will “freeze” your makeup and make it stay on longer. This is especially helpful during the summer months, when your makeup can literally melt off- ick!

Be Yourself And Take Fashion Risks. Your teen years are the time to experiment, fashion and makeup-wise. Now is the time to get away with neon eyeliner, funky party dresses and wild hair fascinators. If you feel like wearing something completely different than everyone else in school, just go for it. Experiment, find your unique style and be yourself without worrying what the other girls are wearing.

Good Afternoon fellow bloggers! Today we’re bringing you a Thrifty Thursday tip, and we know that hair can be very high maintenance… unless you take the bull by the horns and DIY!  The Blush always has great DIY on all things beauty, and we  had to share this one!!

Here’s the perfect trick to try the next time you’re looking to give your hair (colored or not) a boost with tea.

Step 1: Fill a mug or bowl with 2 cups of boiling h20.

Step 2: Steep two teabags in the hot water. If you’re a blonde you’ll need chamomile tea, black tea for brunettes and roobios for heads of the red variety.

Step 3: After the tea has cooled on it’s own or you refrigerated it (you speed demon you) pour it over your head in the shower.

Step 4: Work the tea through your hair as you would shampoo. Then, wait 10 minutes before washing and conditioning your hair as usual.

Step 5: Make people stare at that gorgeous head of hair.
