Sex Hair

Everyone's got it — Gisele Bündchen, Jennifer Lopez, Angelina, and now you can too! We're talking about sex hair — that messy, voluminous, tousled hair you have after getting hot and steamy with your guy. "It's a look that women are trying to get more and more," says Louise O'Connor, owner of the New York City salon OC61. "It's also a style you really don't have to work too hard to get." You can get this sexy look in three simple steps. It's simpler (but definitely not more fun) than doing it the old-fashioned way!

Sexy Hair Fact

Did you know…

During pregnancy, hormones are released into your hair that actually makes it shinier. Prenatal vitamins also make your hair grow faster and keep it stronger. Sounds like a good enough reason to keep trying to us!

Start in the Shower

To start, wash hair with a volumizing shampoo and conditioner like L'Oréal Vive Pro Glossy Volume for fine or normal hair. Towel dry and add a defining crème like Living Proof Wave Shaping, Curl Defining No Frizz Styling Cream for Medium to Thick Hair. Next, apply mousse to the roots (O'Connor suggests Barex Gloss Mousse, because it's not sticky so is easy to work with). Throw hair forward to get movement at the roots and dry using a diffuser, such as CHI Turbo Low EMF Professional Hair Dryer with Diffuser.

Finishing Touches

Once hair is dry, add finishing touches with a curling iron. Our go-to tool is the Conair Tourmaline Ceramic Curling Iron. Top off with Big Sexy Hair Hairspray for hold and let your hair do the talking for you.

Sexy and Romantic

Think sex hair is a passing beauty trend? Think again. O'Connor says this style is a look that isn't going away any time soon. Aside from the booming sex appeal, it can also be extremely romantic. Think Victoria's Secret model hair meets first date. He most likely won't be able to keep his hands off of you.
