Big Hair is Back: How to Steal Angelina Jolie’s Look
Category:
Celebrities Mom
Once you get past Angelina Jolie’s mom-to-be cleavage on the cover of this month’s
Vanity Fair, you can’t help but notice her very big hair. Apparently, “big hair” is making a comeback. However, except for Jolie and a model or two, this is a tough look to pull off. I’m talking about you Amy Winehouse.
But if you’re inspired to go big, follow these steps:
- Towel-dry your hair and apply a volumizing mousse at your roots and then spread it through your hair.
- Blow dry with a round brush.
- Now separate your hair into four sections, at the crown, left, right and back.
- For each section get two to three medium-sized rollers
(you remember them) and roll the hair toward your scalp. Take them out after 15 minutes, flip your head upside down and finger-brush.
- Finally, flip it back over and brush out and finish with a touch of hairspray.
That’s how you do it, but we can’t tell you how to find the time to do this “Do” and how to keep those little hands off your big hair.

Summer Find: Aveeno Active Naturals Moisture Lotion with Sunscreen
Category:
Mom Bath and Body Summer
What: Aveeno Active Naturals Moisture Lotion with Sunscreen
Why: It’s hard enough to remember to use an SPF on your face every day, let alone your arms, legs, neck and chest. Aveeno’s new lotion with built-in sunscreen makes post-shower SPF-ing a no-brainer. Moisturizes for a full 24 hours and gives the added protection of SPF15 for daily life. Great for husbands who REFUSE to entertain the thought of sunscreen but won’t think twice about using the lotion if it’s in the bathroom. Smart move.
Price: $10.99
