I'm Emily Golie, professional hair stylist, and we're going to talk about how to revive your hair today. If you wake up in the morning and you're feeling blah and you don't have time to really go ahead and rewash it and start all over from the beginning, some of the best tips are using a great dry shampoo right through the roots to get rid of the greasiness and a great serum through the ends. A great dry shampoo that you spray right through the root and kind of go all through the whole top part of your head, making sure that you don't go too much of it in one section and then it's too concentrated, brush it through and then use a nice serum through the ends. One or two drops is plenty, put it through your hands, rub it in and smooth it through the ends on both sides all over and you can brush through that as well. Another great tip on reviving your hair if you're feeling limp at the beginning of the day and you just don't want to wash your hair and start over is using a curling iron and getting a little bit of volume and a little wave out of your hair that way. I love curling my hair and I do it most of the time. You can start and do really easy sections, nice big sections are definitely okay with a curling iron. Start in the middle of the hair and start rolling it towards the top and inching to the ends as you go. That way you'll get all of the ends wrapped up inside the curling iron and you won't have to worry about starting all over again. Continue on the next section and I prefer to roll the curls away from my face on both sides, roll it in and if you have a nice hot curling iron you don't even have to hold it that long and let it down. Taking random sections is nice and it's easy. You don't have to worry about parting it off. Once you get it curled, just run a brush through it and smooth it out and you get this nice soft pretty wave and it really just revives your hair. I'm Emily Golie. Thanks for watching.
