Cosmetics Galore

Watching a video of how former Victoria’s Secret Angel model Kylie Bisutti hung up her angel wings because of her Christian faith and belief that her body was solely for her husband’s eye, it got me thinking “how do the Victoria’s Secret model get their hair to looks so beautiful?”

They all have really great hair. One common theme is that it’s very long, but it’s also very glossy and seems to always lay right. So, do all the Vickie’s Secret gals just have great genes when it comes to their body and their hair, or do they use certain hair care products to make their hair look long, lustrous and full of body?

Or maybe they wear extensions?  That could be it, but I still think they also have naturally beautiful hair too.  I can tell you one thing, two of the Victoria’s Secret hair styling products are pretty good, and they do give you a bit of that “sexy hair” look that you see on the  models on the runway – the likes of Gisele Bundchen (and her Super Bowl gaffe in tow), Tyra Banks, Adriana Lima and more strutting around with their wild mane of hair.

One of the products is their “So Sexy Wave Enhancing Spray”.  It’s a pump spray that looks like it’s half oil, half water. Of course, it has a trademark heavy Victoria’s Secret scent, which I could definitely do without because that means it’s loaded with chemicals, but it does work to make your curls and waves bigger, bouncier and shinier.

I do like the product, but I’d like to use something that works the same way without having all the heavy scent in it and chemicals.  It manages to make you hair curl more easily when you put a large barreled curling iron to it, and it makes the curls and waves stay better while also making them bigger and more springy and bouncy.

You can truly have “big hair” if you use this product at night, dry your hair, then wrap it tightly in a high bun on your head overnight.  You have instantly huge body in your hair when you wake up.

Another good product they make is the So Sexy Smooth Straight and Silky Styling Mist. This one is great for those days where you don’t want waves and curls, but instead want a smoother, straighter look. It does lend itself to smoother hair. Again, there is the strong scent, but it does seem to help tame frizzies as well as smooth and straighten the hair better when combined with my FHI hair dryer and my Sedu flat iron.

I think that to get hair like Victoria’s Secret models, you do have to grow it very long so you can get that wild look. This may take the use of hair growth vitamins to help accelerate the process, and great hair care. When I’m trying to grow my hair out, I limit my trips to the hairstylist because they tend to whack off more hair than I want them to.

I usually will just have my husband give my ends a very light trim with our professional hair shears for several months to keep the ends healthy.
