Oily hair is like oily skin. Sometimes that’s just how it is. And other times it’s that way because of the habits we keep. Of course, hair-type also plays a role in how oily strands will appear. All my fine-hair ladies (and I’m sure some with coarser hair too) know the slick hair struggle all too well; we’re constantly trying to find ways to make your hair look less greasy.
It’s planning at exactly what time during the day hair needs to be washed so it will still look good during your evening date. It’s trying to avoid touching it and flinching away when others do. It’s extended time in front of the mirror wondering if an up-do is good enough or if today is just a hat-day. But greasy hair tends to be like most other insecurities: It always seems worse on yourself than how others see it.
If you’re feeling like your hair is just too oily regardless, there are certain things you can do to keep the oil production under control. While these methods will help make your locks less greasy in both the short and long term, it is important to fully evaluate and understand your current habits so you know how to properly fix them. Here are eight steps you can take toward having balanced hair:
Applying conditioner all over can totally weigh hair down, causing oily roots. Instead, just apply conditioner from mid-shaft to ends.
It also pays to find a conditioner designed for oily hair types, like CHI Magnified Volume Conditioner. It is specifically developed for fine hair to add body and fullness, without leaving residue behind. Just make sure to use a small drop so you don’t overburden your hair.
If you thought tangled and dry locks were only a summer issue, think again: Damaged hair knows no season and if you’re noticing split, frayed ends, it’s a telltale sign you need to give your hair more TLC. Often caused by pollution, extreme weather conditions, and heat styling, split ends are all but inevitable — unless your beauty cabinet is stocked with the right products to treat and prevent them, of course.
To tame frizz, add shine, and reduce future breakage, consider adding CHI Silk Infusion to your daily routine. Because no one — we repeat: no one! — should have to shed tears over a split end.
In the winter, you rock a deep brunette. In the spring, you add some highlights. By summer, you’re nearly a blonde, and then in autumn, you start it all over. Color is part of your routine, and that’s what makes you so Insta-famous. If you have treated hair, this rich leave-in treatment will prevent fading all while taming your frizz and flyaways. Distribute a generous amount on wet hair about 15 minutes before drying or apply a dime size amount on dry hair to add life (read: shine) back into your look.
CHI Silk Infusion Silk Reconstructing Complex is a rich leave-in treatment enriched with silk, wheat, and soy proteins that will penetrate and help strengthen the hair, providing incredible softness, manageability and shine without build up.

Summer means rooftop get-togethers, fabulous weather, picnics in the park, and all the outdoor activities you can think of. Everyone’s out and about, Los días are brighter and longer, la gente seem happier, work hours miraculously become shorter, and the overall excitement is palpable.
However, hopping from soirée to soirée can leave us exposed to the elements, making our skin and hair prone to some beauty challenges. As Latinas, we know textured hair gets extra frizzy because of the humidity, and curls can get out of control. Once we start sweating, our makeup also suffers, giving us the dreaded pasty look that we try to avoid at all costs.
But these beauty inconveniences don’t need to get in your way. We’re giving you the lowdown on the hottest Summer trends and the Ulta Beauty products you can use to achieve them while still looking fresh in this Verano Caliente. Keep scrolling for all the details!
Protect your naturally textured hair from frizz with the right products. Beat the heat, stay cool, and Summer-proof your look with serums and leave-ins that will make it easier to take on the hottest Summer trend for hair: braids. We recommend Redken One United Multi-Benefit Treatment Spray, a leave-in (or rinse-out!) that conditions, eliminates frizz, adds shine, and protects against hair damage.
CHI Keratin Silk Infusion Reconstructing Complex heals and hydrates dry, damaged hair by retaining moisture and smoothing the hair cuticle. IGK Rich Kid Coconut Oil Gel is great for that touchable hold and shine without the crunch. SheaMoisture Green Coconut & Activated Charcoal Build-Up Blaster uses green coconut, activated charcoal, and white tea to remove buildup from your scalp and hair, but keeps your strands nourished.

In just a few simple steps, Miss Universe 2018 turns her casual waves into a voluminous, on-trend pony style that’s perfect for upcoming summer days.
Just a few days ago, 51 accomplished women from around the country competed for the title at the 68th annual Miss USA pageant held at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno-Tahoe. Miss North Carolina, Cheslie Kryst, won the crown to become our new Miss USA, succeeding Sarah Rose Summers. The weekend before Kaliegh Garris earned the Miss Teen USA title. As the official haircare sponsor for both pageants, CHI Haircare was there every step of the way from backstage to the live show main stage, ensuring all the contestants were provided the best hair care and styling using the latest and most innovative CHI Products and Tools.
Natural curls reigned supreme for both newly-minted pageant winners. In fact, Kaliegh is the first Miss Teen USA to be crowned while sporting natural curls in TWO DECADES!
As the Official Haircare Sponsor, CHI’s brand-new Aloe Vera with Agave Nectar Haircare Line was used to achieve the beautifully defined styles on both title holders. This 7-piece curl collection provides solutions to enhance definition, moisturize each spiral, and maintain frizz for smoother styling.
Hairstylist Joy Williams, Executive Master Educator for CHI, styled both Miss USA 2019 Cheslie Kryst and Miss Teen USA 2019 Kaliegh Garris. Joy shares her styling tips for their winning looks– all created with CHI’s new launches at ULTA Beauty.
“Most curly girls do not shampoo their hair every day because curls crave moisture,” explains Hairstylist Joy Williams, Executive Master Educator for CHI. “To define Cheslie’s second- and third-day curls, I used the CHI Aloe Vera Curl Reactivating Spray. This spray not only reactivates the CHI Aloe Vera products I previously applied, but retightens any loose curls and eliminates frizz.”
1. Begin by shampooing hair with the CHI Aloe Vera Curl Enhancing Shampoo (rinse and repeat)
2. Towel dry hair to remove excess moisture and follow up with CHI Aloe Vera Detangling Conditioner
3. Once conditioner is saturated, use either a wide tooth comb or your fingers and gently comb through the hair starting at the ends and working your way up to the roots.
4. Lightly towel dry the ends of the hair. Be careful not to rub too vigorously as the curls have begun to define as a result of the low pH of the CHI Aloe Vera products.
5. Now, use the LOC method to lock in moisture and hydration while defining those beautiful curls. The LOC Method stands for:
6. I like to start the LOC Method after the conditioner with the CHI Aloe Vera Humidity Resistant Leave-In Conditioner (The “L” in LOC). Curly hair needs this added conditioning. The Agave Nectar infuses moisture and improves elasticity of her curls while the Aloe Vera gives incredible shine and softness. Using either a wide tooth comb or your fingers, apply from root to ends. By now, her curls are beautifully defined and bouncy as the natural ingredients and low pH of the CHI Aloe Vera Line have tightened the cuticle and saturated the hair with moisture. From this point, we are simply locking in that moisture for long lasting results.
7. Next, I used the CHI Aloe Vera Oil (The “O” in LOC). I slowly rubbed the oil along the hair being careful not to disturb the curl pattern I just defined. A little goes a long way but I use as much as I feel she needs to lock in moisture and shine.
8. Finally, I sealed that definition by using the CHI Aloe Vera Moisturizing Curl Cream (The “C” in LOC). I pumped about a quarter size amount as needed. I rubbed the cream between my hands and then applied it to her hair by scrunching each of her curls in sections. One of my favorite tips for added definition is to finger coil individual curls. I make a cocktail of the Moisturizing Curl Cream and the CHI Aloe Vera Oil and twist the hair around my index finger from midshaft to ends. This technique removes any frizz and makes the ends of the curls pop!
9. My ultimate pro tip: I set the curl definition for days of beautifully defined curls by using my CHI Lava Blow Dryer with the locking diffuser attachment. I achieved this look by cupping her curls in the attachment and using medium to high heat. The volcanic lava technology in the CHI Lava Dryer allowed me to quickly set the curl while its honeycomb lava disk distributes negative ions locking in moisture, preventing frizz and adding shine. You will notice that our unique design and patented technology does not burn the scalp or cause discomfort even on high.
“To define Kaliegh’s second- and third-day curls, I also used the CHI Aloe Vera Curl Reactivating Spray,” explains Hairstylist Joy Williams, Executive Master Educator for CHI This spray not only reactivates the CHI Aloe products I previously applied, but retightens any loose curls and eliminates frizz. Then, we scrunched her hair in sections with the CHI Aloe Moisturizing Curl Cream finishing up with the CHI Aloe Vera Oil for ultimate shine!”
1. Begin by shampooing hair with the CHI Aloe Vera Curl Enhancing Shampoo (rinse and repeat)
2. Towel dry hair to remove excess moisture and follow up with CHI Aloe Vera Detangling Conditioner.
3. Once conditioner is saturated, use either a wide tooth comb or your fingers and gently comb through the hair starting at the ends and working your way up to the roots.
4. Lightly towel dry the ends of the hair. Be careful not to rub too vigorously as the curls have begun to define as a result of the low pH of the CHI Aloe.
5. Now, I cocktailed a few of the CHI Aloe Vera with Agave Nectar products keeping in mind the LOC method to lock in moisture and hydration while defining those beautiful curls. Layering the product in this way ensures perfectly defined curls with long-lasting moisture and softness.
6. Kaliegh naturally has beautiful ringlet curls so we don’t want to disturb her curl pattern. Therefore, for the rest of her styling I used my fingers. First, I used the CHI Aloe Vera Humidity Resistant Leave-In Conditioner, distributing it from roots to ends. The Agave Nectar infuses moisture and improves elasticity of her curls while the Aloe Vera gives incredible shine and softness.
7. Next, my favorite thing to do is to cocktail the CHI Aloe Vera Oil and the CHI Aloe Vera Moisturizing Curl Cream. I used a couple of pumps of each product, about a quarter sized amount total. I rubbed this into my palms and applied the products by scrunching the hair in sections. Scrunching keeps her curl pattern intact and prevents frizz.
8. Finally, I gave added definition to her hair by finger coiling individual curls. I applied a little more of the CHI Aloe Vera Oil and twisted the hair around my index finger from mid-shaft to ends. This technique removes any frizz and makes the ends of the curls pop!

With SXSW last month, Ultra wrapped up and Coachella heading into its final weekend, we have seen some amazing festival season styles so far in 2019. The three biggest trends so far? Chains, clips and longer lengths. With so many other great music fests coming up all over the globe, who better to demo a universal and chic festival style for longer hair than reigning Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray?
Check out how she stays on trend with her CHI LAVA flat iron and favorite CHI styling products.
Tonight! TV’s most popular show, Game of Thrones, comes to an end with its highly-anticipated series finale. Whether you’re heading to cosplay events with your fellow Thronies or journeying to the neighborhood pub for a Mountain-sized GoT finale watch party, this simple how-to for Khalessi Inspired Rope Braids will have everyone bending the knee to your hair’s throne-worthy look styled by CHI products and the CHI LAVA Spin N Curl!
Create an off-center part with a comb and then divide hair for easier curling. Section in half horizontally at the occipital bone so hair is half up and half down. Secure the top section with a large clip.
Starting at the back of your neck, take 1-inch sub-sections and begin curling with the CHI LAVA Pro Spin and Curl. This automatic curler creates perfect spirals at the push of a button – no curling iron skills needed! Spray sections with CHI Enviro 54 Hair Spray Firm Hold for added control while styling.
Continue curling entire head, alternating the curl direction to create added volume and dimension. Follow this technique until all hair is curled, including the clipped, top section.
To create the Rope Braid (a 2-strand braid), start in the front, right fringe area. Take a 2-inch section, split into 2 pieces and cross the front section over the back piece and TWIST. Continue to pick up hair from the front, cross over TOP to the back and TWIST again and continue this process, working down the hair. Make sure to twist sections clockwise and then twist over each other counter clockwise. When you reach the ends, secure completed rope braid with a small rubber band. Mist hairspray while braiding as needed to minimize fly-aways.
Repeat Step 4 on the left side of the fringe area so you now have rope braids on both sides. For fine hair, use bobby pins to secure the braid if needed to add extra volume.
Gently pull each loop of the braid to loosen and add volume to final look.
**Artist Tip: For fine hair use bobby pins to secure braid if needed to add volume.
Finish the look with additional CHI Enviro 54 Hairspray Firm Hold. Hold can 10-12 inches away from hair and spray evenly to set the style. For even more shine, mist with CHI Shine Infusion Hair Shine Spray for an instant, weightless sheen.
