Are you that friend who is always ready for a picture no matter what?! Or are you the one that hides away every time a camera is ready and waiting? Whichever one you are, if your hair is looking decidedly dire in them - it’s never a good thing, right?! So, read on for some simple tips on how to make your hair photo ready and never dispose of a perfect selfie thanks to unruly tresses…
How To: Make Your Hair Photo Ready #1
Okay, the first step on how to make your hair look photo ready is to simply tame any unattractive frizziness or flyaways beforehand. Don’t be fooled into the illusion that your locks look fine in the mirror as any camera that lands on you will pick up every stray hair. To combat those dreaded wispy strands, take a smoothing serum such as the Tigi S Factor Dream Drops (our fave), rub between your palms and then gently smooth over the crown of your head and any areas which are prone to flyaway strands for a flawless finish - (obv prep your hair before you head out and get papped!).

Now, if you want your hair to look like perfection personified in photos, you need to find a happy medium on the volume front! Like, the camera can be harsh so it’s best to avoid beauty pageant style volume which makes your hair bigger than your head. Instead, if you have fine hair, prep your locks with the Tigi Bed Head Styleshots Epic Volume Shampoo and Conditioner before heading out for the weekend with your BFF - you know there are going to be sooo many pictures taken so it’s all in the prep! This duo is sure to plump up your tresses without creating an 80’s style helmet ‘do that isn’t exactly on trend at the moment. If you’re one of the lucky ones with thicker tresses, opt for a smoother and sleeker hairstyle to avoid any photo mishaps - think Kim K and you’re on the right track!

Finally, hairspray! Yup, hairspray - this is an absolute lifesaver when you’re on a night out or to generally keep your hair in place on a day to day basis. But, did you know that overdosing on your beloved hairspray an result in stiff and unnatural looking tresses? Instead of overdosing your hair with hairspray, once you’ve achieved your perfect ‘do don’t spray until it’s completely rigid - be a little more frugal with your spritzes and gently mist over. Hair that has movement will always look better in photos than over styled and overworked locks. For powerful hold without the stiffness, we recommend the Tigi Bed Head Rockaholic Fun Times Flexible Hairspray which will ensure your style stays locked in place but with plenty of natural movement.
