5 Ways to Add Flair to Your Hair

Sometimes a new look is just what we need to spruce up our look. Check out these simple 5 ways to take your hair from drab to fab:

1) Add Color: Whether it be an ever so daring ombre or subtle pop of color with highlights, changing your hair color can give your hair an instant make over.  Try asking your stylist to install a color from our Hysteria or Keratique collection.

2) Revamp Your Cut: Try applying fringe layers to your style. Angling your layers over one eye or opting for long lash sweeping bangs gives you instant sexy hair.

3) Change up Your Length: Instead of going for your normal 16” tube of Pure Wavy take a plunge and try the 20.” Elongating your hair length will give you a new look without any commitment to color or change in texture. On the opposite end if you always go for longer hair try a mid length or short bob to quickly change up your normal look.

 4) Layer Your Mane: Layers create movements and nothing draws attention to your hair like body; create your own wind ladies!

5) Straighten it Out: Straight hair that looks healthy and well maintained always turns head. Try using our Zen Straight texture a dime size amount of our Argan Oil Moisturizer and a durable flat iron. If you always opt for big body waves or curls, going straight will help to draw attention to your facial features and will also complement that great new eye shadow or lipstick you’ve been dying to break out.

Then and Now is more than an Instagram trend, try adding some flair to your Indique hair and tweet us a photo!

Get the Tracee Ellis Ross Look!

Hi ladies, so we have been receiving tons of questions on how to achieve the “Tracee Ellis Ross” look. She is known for the two looks below:

This look can be achieved with Indique Hair’s PURE Curly. If you blow dry your hair and apply sponge rollers at night, the next morning you will have this effortless look. You can also have your stylist do a “wash & set” to get the same look.

This iconic look can be achieved with the BOUNCE collection Coil Curl. Simply allow your hair to air dry and finger tease the curls into the shape that you want. You can also use an Amika Clip Free Curler and get the first look by taking sections of your hair and twirling it. The BOUNCE Coil Curl will give you both of Tracee’s looks!

Fall Bangs... Don’t cut them, clip them!

A new season means new hair!

Trade in your long goddess-like tresses and beach waves for something a little more fall ready. 

What could be an easier fix than adding some stylish fringe to your look?

Bangs can be a little intimidating, but we’ve made things simpler with our Studio Collection Clip in Bangs.

Clip them in when the mood strikes and Voile! Perfect bangs sans that awkward growing out phase.

You might take a cue from one of the ladies above.

• On Kim Kardashian, a flirty side swept look.
• On the model in the middle, edgier face framing fringe.
• On Camille Belle, a blunt but polished straight bang.
