What's Hot in Hair? - We all want beautiful hair, but for those ladies over the prim and proper, highly stylized looks that formerly ruled New York Fashion Week runways, a new wave of strands have come to town. Deep parts took center stage at Tracy Reese and Chanel, while Reem Acra and Rochas sent slick slung ponytails down the catwalk. From texture tresses to long waves to roughed-up chignons, wearable strands are it this season. By Metanoya Z.

The Texture Effect - “This season is less about stylized looks and more about hair,” says Mims. “Using hot tools to create juxtaposing textures can be nice.  TRY: Flat iron/curl every other section for a compressed polish on some areas, and maintain natural texture on others. The finished look is really fun.”   (Photo: Ilya S. Savenok/Getty Images)

Girls With Curls - If you’re looking to loosen up your curl when the mercury rises, Mims recommends, “using smoothing products instead of curling products. A straightening balm will create a softer curl.” (Photo: Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week)

Dry Shampoo - Nope, it’s not just for white women with bone straight hair, Ojon’s Full Detox Dry Cleansing Spray works on kinks and coils too. “Spray it directly onto the roots and let it sit and sop up the hair’s oil,” instructs Mims. “Our dry shampoo is clinically proven to absorb 74% of sebum after one use,” giving hair a squeaky clean feeling minus the suds.   (Photo: Ben Gabbe/Getty Images)

Deep Conditioning - Suffer from dry scalp?  Mims swears by the brand's Damage Revere Restorative Hair Treatment to alleviate flaking and itchiness. “Apply the paste to your scalp, massage it in and shampoo it out the next morning.” According to Mims, sleeping with the formula won’t weigh strands down. “The product is packed with oils similar to those found in human hair that are essentially being restored to your scalp, healing the damaged lipid barrier.” Translation: Bye-bye dandruff.   (Photo: Jemal Countess/Getty Images)
