Donand#39:t you just love it when your hair stylist teaches you a how-to-style hair trick that you just know youand#39:ll use for the rest of your life? Here weand#39:ve compiled 12 hair styling secrets to sexy hair that we learned from years of talking to stylists and compiling style secrets

How to Style Hair Secret 1:----------[Yes, you can shampoo daily]
Shampoos these days are gentle enough to be used daily, itand#39:s the blowdryers, flatirons and curling irons that do the most damage. So if you have super oily hair, go ahead and shampoo daily. Just try to let hair air-dry or go easy on the heat products.

How to Style Hair Secret 2:--------- [Dirty hair is easier to style]
Chances are youand#39:ve heard the hair styling secret that dirty hair is easier to style. Well itand#39:s true. Stylists prefer if you donand#39:t wash hair the morning of an updo. And donand#39:t be surprised if they sprinkle a bit of baby powder or dry shampoo on your hair. These help create the perfect texture for an updo.

How to Style Hair Secret 3:---------- [Get runway hair with rollers]
Runway stylists know the simplest, non-fussy way to get hair to roll properly is to curl it with a curling iron first. First, spritz dry hair with a styling spray then use a medium curling iron to curl 2-inch sections of hair before rolling hair in rollers.

How to Style Hair Secret 4:---------[ Want Sexy, Messy, "Just Off the Beach" Waves?]
The secret is sea salt spray. You too can make a spray using a bottle, several tablespoons of sea salt and water. So skip the perm and first try spritzing sea salt on damp hair, scrunching hair and letting airdry. Since most hair has some sort of natural wave, the sea salt naturally enhances it.

How to Style Hair Secret 5:----------[ Donand#39:t bring out the brush too soon]
When blowdrying hair, separate tangles with fingers until hair is about 80 percent dry then try brushing. You want to make sure your fingers glide through hair effortlessly before introducing a brush to wet or even damp hair.

How to Style Hair Secret 6:--------[ Bangs are hot, just make sure you get the right ones
We love the look of thick, heavy bangs and side-swept bangs. Just avoid the thin, wispy, all-one-length bangs: it will make your face look "boxy" and dated. A very hot look right now are the thick bangs paired with long, wavy layers. Sexy. Especially with perfect highlights. Not ready for the thick bangs? Try side-swept bangs paired with long layers. Layering hair with bangs works best because itand#39:s less boxy while allowing your hair to grow out without looking too extreme if you decide to grow out the trend.

How to Style Hair Secret 7:----------Yes, you can go blonde or red Some skin types work best with colors than others. Most olive-skinned women can get away with any hair color: Blonde, black, brunette and even red. Women with pink tones have a harder time and canand#39:t get too drastic. But believe it or not, pink skin tones tend to work well with red hair color. As for going blonde, if you were fairly blonde-ish as a child in the summer, then you are a good candidate for going blonde as an adult. But olive-skinned girls with black or brown hair can look great blonde, too. Have a stylist help pick the right tone for you.

How to Style Hair Secret 8:----------- [Donand#39:t go long and blah]
You know the look: Hair thatand#39:s gone just a little too long, has no style and is just plain, well, blah. Weand#39:ve all been there. What this hairstyle says to the world is "I am low-maintenance and canand#39:t be bothered with regular salon visits." This is fine if you arenand#39:t interested in making an impression on anybody and feeling fabulous. But it isnand#39:t sexy. Cut in some layers, add some bangs, get some highlights. Just get yourself to a salon, pronto.

How to Style Hair Secret 9:------------ [The secret to "piece-y" hair]
You know the look youand#39:re going for: that long and wavy hair, where the waves seem to fall in pieces. Some stylists swear itand#39:s in the cut. It most definitely is, but you also need the right product.

Hair Styling Secret 10: ------------[Buns are cool, just keep them loos]
Updos arenand#39:t just for prom, New Years and Lois Lane. A loose, casual updo is a quick way to look pulled together. Simply finger-comb hair into a low, disheveled bun or knot and attach with a ponytail holder and bobby pins. And please, leave the tight, ballerina and#39:do for the dancers.

Hair Styling Secret 11: -----------[A temporary end to frayed ends]
Hereand#39:s a stylist secret courtesy of the February, 2006, issue of Marie Claire: When suffering from the nasty frayed endsies, hairstylist Rodney Groves spreads Kerastase Serum Nutri-Sculpt [a leave-in treatment] through dry hair, then blasts ends with a blow dryer. We recommend you put this product on your list and keep it around for those moments before every hair cut when we need help [and fast!]
