To achieve Rowan Blanchard's 90's retro inspired double topknots created by celebrity hairstylist Laurie Heaps:

1. Use White Sands Liquid Texture Medium Thermal Spray on damp hair for shine and hold and roughly blow dry hair.

 

"This is my go to product for hold and shine," says Laurie.

 

Tip: White Sands Liquid Texture Medium allows the brush to glide through hair without catching, thus achieving a flat iron type effect full of volume and shine with just a blow dryer and round brush in hand.

 

2. Part hair down the middle and pull each section up into a pony.

 

3. Apply Kevin Murphy Powder Puff to the length of the pony for texture and grit.

 

4. Twist pony and then twirl into a topknot securing with pins.

 

"This doesn't have to be perfect. Allow pieces of the hair to stray and use your fingers to release any baby hairs around the hairline," explains Laurie. 

 

5. Finish with a light mist of Bumble and Bumble Cityswept Finish Spray.

White Sands Leave In Hair conditioner: what you need to know-it's worth it

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Wednesday around here...I'm packing and getting ready for the Ipsy OS time this week!
So stinkin' excited!

Something that is going to make the trip with me is this new leave in conditioner I received as a sample from White Sands.

Spray Leave in Conditioner

Price: $15.00 on the website.

As a fresh new product from White Sands, our Leave In Conditioner offers innovative moisturizing benefits for the modern stylist and client. Made with special polymers, its smart ingredients will provide “Selective Conditioning” to nourish & smooth areas of the cuticle that need repair the most. This targeted delivery creates an intelligent product that knows exactly where damage hides; giving the weakest parts more TLC. Hair will have the ability to hold moisture and control frizz.

 I was interested in trying this because when my hair was highlighted to make it lighter from it's normal dark brown so dark it's nearly black, the results are a gorgeous color,  but some damage to my hair.

In fact, I'm liking the new coppery tone, but feeling ready to go back to my dark brown!

The scent on this leave in hair conditioner is amazing. The feel is light, and that it absorbs into the hair. It does not have shine or sheen to it. It's smoothing and nourishing to the hair.

Overall, I give it a thumbs up!

Here's some more about White Sands as a brand:

The White Sands Story:

With humble beginnings, White Sands is a family owned corporation created nearly 10 years ago by the Salas Family with only $1,500.00 in hand. Our family of five, Fernando, Patricia, Aarron, Noel and his wife Kelly began this adventure by filling products from gallons to 8.5oz bottles one at a time in Fernando’s garage.
In 1999, White Sands participated in the Premiere Beauty Show in Orlando Florida with just a 10 x 10 booth. As Fernando spent his day on stage styling hair, his wife and business partner Patricia sold the unique spray product he was using. By noon of the first day, 200 kits were sold – and the product didn’t even have a name. After this amazing first day, the Salas Family knew the days of working for others were over: the end of the trip christened the soon-to-be developed line White Sands.
In 2006, White Sands added yet another family member Don Stone (Brother-in-Law/Uncle) to grow distribution chains both nationally and internationally. Since this addition, White Sands has grown tremendously with 28 distributors nationwide.
The White Sands family is truly living the American dream and a true testament that with hard work and perseverance you can accomplish anything you put your mind to.
