Hey girls!! How was your weekend!? April is THE nicest month here in South Carolina ( Am I right SC girls!? ). The weather is somewhere in-between cool and hot..so that's lukewarm. That's probably not the best way to convince you that it's beautiful outside, but, I am loving this lukewarm weather and the summer activities that it is ushering in! This past weekend Austin and I ventured out to the pool for the first time this season. It was a glorious release after being wrapped up in sweaters for so long. With all of the time in the sun, exposure to chlorine, and on beach days, salt water, my hair takes a beating during the summer months! The curls can get quite depleted. I am a huge fan of wetting my hair before getting into the pool to prevent too much chlorine absorption, and using coconut oil masks to restore the lion's mane! Often times though, that simply isn't enough. I have been using Garnier products for years, and recently turned to their new Whole Blends Refreshing Hair Care  to revitalize my curls and boost shine for my summer hair! It is a wonderfully refreshing hair care system with essence of green apples and green tea! Two things I love to eat and drink on a regular basis as well, because.. YUM. Now my hair can enjoy their benefits too!

You can find the entire Whole Blends line here. The line has something for everyone and every type of hair; smoothing, hydrating, nourishing and more! If your hair needs a little love, snatch up one of the new Garnier Whole Blends hair care systems at your local Walmart and treat your strands!

One of my go-to hairstyles for spring/summer is this fun Bohemian Knotted Twist half-up style. It is quick, easy, and works on all hair; curly, straight, iron curled, all of it! You can even create this knotted twist with shorter hair. Shout out to my girls with long bobs!

BOHEMIAN KNOTTED TWIST TUTORIAL

   Bobby Pins  |  Texturizing Spray  |  Hairspray

The key to any hairstyle looking great is starting with strong, healthy hair. I use the Whole Blends Refreshing Hair Care to give my hair the revitalizing nourishment it needs to stay bouncy, shiny, and smelling amazing! I am so glad I made the switch to this hair care system. The shampoo and conditioner leave my hair volumized and silky! The third step to this hair care system is the 5-in-1 lightweight spray. It detangles, protects, and primes, leaving hair happy all day. Happy hair is pretty hair!

Step 1. Starting with freshly washed hair or lived in hair, spray ends with a texturizing spray like the Garnier Beach Chic or Whole Blends 5-in-1 Lightweight Spray. Spray a generous amount on hands and tousle hair at the roots. This will give your hair more texture and volume!

Step 2. Sweep your hair back and section off the hair on top of your head; With your pointer fingers, start at hairline above the arch of your eyebrows, and gather the front portion of hair up into a non-fastened pony ( like you would gather hair for a pompadour ). Holding the tail of the pony securely, take your pointer finger and middle finger on the opposite hand and twist the pony tail around into a knot, pulling the tail all the way through. Secure with bobby pins, and give the knot a few gentle tugs to loosen it up a bit.

Step 3. Again, with your pointer fingers, starting just in front of your ears, gather up hair to the crown of your head ( in the same fashion as the first knot ).  Your hair should be half up and half down. Just like the first know, holding the tail of the pony securely, take your pointer finger and middle finger on the opposite hand and twist the pony tail around into a knot. This time, keep the loop open and grab a section of hair directly under the second know. Pull this section of hair through the loop, and let it cascade down. Secure second knot with bobby pins.

That's it! This Bohemian Knotted Twist is one of the easiest styles to do. After you try this once, you'll be able to pull up the knots without looking in a mirror! It's that easy. I love this look because it's a little messy, and totally effortless. The bohemian vine is just fun, and perfect for summer! You can add a couple of braids to this look if you want even more of a boho feel. To keep this look feeling tousled and fresh, and give your hair a little boost, spray the ends with the Garnier Whole Blends 5-in-1 Lightweight Spray.
