White Sands Hairstyling How-To

ACHIEVE THIS LOOK : CELEBRITY PINCURLS


Fernando Salas, founder of the professional hair care company White Sands, shares his tips for how to achieve the picture perfect pincurl.


Wash and condition with Phase 1 Shampoo and Conditioner.

Use 4 to 6 sprays of Porosity on wet hair for even distribution. It cures dry texture and balances moisture.

Cocktail the Firm Mousse with Designer Gel this will give you the most volume possible.

Dry hair with a flat brush and spray again with Liquid Texture Firm.

Dry the spray with hot air and recomb.

Take sections the size of a fifty-cent piece and wrap them around your fingers. As with a curling iron, wrap the sections from the inside to the outside of two or three fingers (this will determine the curl size and volume).

Next, draw the curl from your fingers and hold it pinched between your index finger and thumb. Then apply a flat iron to the curl.

Consume the curl into the flat iron and hold for about 10 seconds. Pin with a clip.

Let the curl cool. Remove clips and put your fingers through the curls. The more you comb through the hair, the looser the style will become.

Finish with Infinity Finishing Spray to add extra volume and a beautiful, touchable finish.

Recycle & Go Glam!

Celebrity hairstylist David Babaii dishes how to be green and glam on Earth Day.


Eco Chic Tip = Use items around the house to achieve red carpet glam


A new and un-used toothbrush is a great household product; it can be utilized to back brush close to the scalp area for volume or even sweep away those fly-a-ways with a spritz of hairspray. Going back in time, old soda pop cans still do the trick of setting hair and achieving large voluminous curls. Use household rubber bands for your messy ponytails or braids. Also, don’t discard those dryer sheets. There is usually some fragrance left over to wipe your combs and brushes with to, not only freshen them up, but help with static. Use ribbons, scarves and other items you have (or even ones that once wrapped a gift!) to add some jazz to your do. A ribbon can make a regular ponytail flirty and a scarf can transform just about any look into a more eco-chic style. This all helps to reduce the amount of household waste and makes for a great environmentally friendly choice for DIY hair.

Go Eco Chic with David Babaii

Celebrity hairstylist David Babaii wants to encourage women everywhere to put away their blow dryer and styling tools and go “Au Natural” in honor of Earth Day April 22nd.

Eco Chic Tip = Wash your hair the night before and rise in style

Wash your hair the night before to save time and electricity. When hair is slightly damp, create multiple sections and braid your hair tying the ends with an elastic band. Depending on how much texture you desire, make the braids loose (less texture) or tight (more texture). The braids do not need to be very precise. Next, spray the braids with David Babaii for WildAid Bohemian Beach Spray and get ready for your beauty sleep.

When you wake up, undo the braids, give your head a little shake, and add in some additional Bohemian Beach Spray to achieve the desired texture and volume. This creates an eco fabulous Bohemian style.

Alessandra Lip Glosses even increase lip volume and reduce lip wrinkles while moisturizing lips. Collagen peptides speed up cell turn-over, plumping lips for a perfectly kissable, luscious mouth. Fabulous.
