The ever so pregnant Kourtney Kardashian is seen here just after freshening up her mommy look at a hair salon in Beverly Hills where she spent almost half a day getting some extensions put in. And of course though this is one girl that rarely looks BAD, she is looking positively glowing with some gorgeous new locks that are shiny, glossy, and every so gorgeous. And as we are changing from one season to the next between summer and fall, this is a good time of year to consider mixing up your look a little bit. You can do this in a number of ways, and if you are a little too nervous to take your hair shorter or to a bold new color, extensions are a wonderful way to freshen up your look AND your spirits at the same time. For Kourtney, it meant longer locks with a little bit of a clean up and some super gloss to add instant day time glam. Once you talk to your stylist about extensions, the rest of this look is super easy.
To get this look, you want to have a layered cut with long concave layers cut that angle toward your features rather than away from them. Use texturizing shampoo and conditioner to give your hair some bend, and blow dry your hair from roots to ends with a round and soft bristle brush. After your blowdry, you can run some styling pomade through your hair to give it some additional texture and movement. Then, use a 1 ½ “ curling iron to put some bend and wave in your hair, but here you really just want to run the iron through your hair, and not focus too much on curl. Keep the curling on for just a second or two, and create a lovely, soft wave that will last all day. You will then brush these waves out for a soft almost ethereal look, and a sexy but not too fussy side part will add instant vamp appeal to your overall look of casual elegance. Finish the look with some extra hold hairspray along your part, and some spritzing of the glossing serum for a super shiny finish.
