Fall Aesthetic: Hairstyle Edition
Along with the season, trends are slowly shifting into Fall fashion. A few transition days are still under our belts (the Midwest crowd gets it*), but brisk weather is heading our way, so we’re preparing our arsenal of hairstyles to match the temp!
*For Transition Days
Being based in Iowa, we’re no strangers to the fall days that start at 55 degrees, reach 85- degrees by 2 pm and jump back down to 65 degrees in the evening. Planning a hairstyle for these days can be tricky, let alone an outfit. Here are our favorite fall looks to get you from AM to PM on these unpredictable days.
All The Half-Up Looks

Pull your face-framing pieces (or more) up and away from a potentially sweaty forehead! Use a comfortable hair tie that won’t leave any creases in your hair so you can bring your hair down when the temperature inevitably drops again.
A Minimalist Bun

Easy as apple pie, this bun is perfect for those hot days that come on quickly. In this transitional style, gently twist your hair so your curls don’t lose shape.
The French Pony Tail

We call this the French Ponytail because it gives effortless. This seemingly thrown-together style pairs the aesthetic of NYFW with a quality of livability that we’ll always be reaching for.
For Long Hair
The Blowout

A post shared by TYME Hair Products (@tyme)
Let’s start with the fact that blowouts look good on everyone, but there is something about a fluffy blowout on a long-layered cut. It gives a subtle nod to the model looks of the 90s while still serving boardroom chic.
Cali Waves
We feel like this is the “It girl” look of the 2020s. These big waves work with every aesthetic, and the way they fall over a couple-day period gives an air of effortlessness that will make every teenage girl in your life drool over you.
For Medium Hair
Faux Natural Curls

A slight wave that hits just below the shoulder will always be gorgeous in our book. We love the simplicity of this style and how quickly it can add variety to your collection of fall looks without interrupting your wash cycle.
The Half Up High Pony

We love how playful a half-up look is! This is a gorgeous style while running around accomplishing all your favorite fall activities.
Effortless Wave
@tymeiron 6 days isn’t an exaggeration #newhair #saturdayvibes #waves ♬ All I Want Is You - Disco Lines
The key to this look? Brush through your curls! Not just with your fingers or a comb, but with an actual hair brush! The way each bristle of your brush will elongate and tussle your curls will take your curls from polished to lived-in in seconds.
For Short Hair
The Faux Three-Barrel Wave
View this post on Instagram
A post shared by TYME Hair Products (@tyme)
The TYME Iron Pro really does it all. With three-barrel irons coming back into style, we love that the Pro gives you the option to still create this style without buying another hot tool to add to your collection.
Straight
While this style isn’t exclusive to fall, something about a perfectly straight look on short hair is unmatched. Pair this style with a cute hat, and you’ll find yourself listening to Taylor Swift all day long.
For All Hair Lengths
Your Natural Texture
You are already enough, just as you are. The way your hair grows out of your head is already perfect. These styles are merely recommendations to switch things up. Your only requirement is to care for and take care of yourself, hair included.

Introducing Uplift Bands And Our Favorite Styles To Use Them In
Uplift Bands are TYME’s hair ties with intention! The comfort-wear hair ties provide a strong hold for any hair type without tension. The bubbled design of the hair ties make them a functional accessory you'll love on your wrist as much as in your hair. You can even stack them to share!
Whether you need an up-do on the go or are starting your day with one, Uplift Bands are the functional accessory you’ve been waiting for. Here are our favorite looks to use our new favorite hair ties with:
The Minimalist Bun

A post shared by TYME Hair Products (@tyme)
The "model bun" is a quick and easy way to approach the day with an "It-girl" attitude. The lowkey look takes just a touch of hairspray and one Uplift Band to come together.
The Effortless Low Pony

A post shared by TYME Hair Products (@tyme)
The low pony is an easy go-to! Uplift Bands can have a stronghold with 3 wraps, but pair it down to two wraps for this easy, effortless look.
Half-Up Hacks

A post shared by TYME Hair Products (@tyme)
Using these angles to pull half your hair up is an easy way to switch up your looks! Uplift Bands will keep these looks tight and secure or relaxed and loose depending on how many times you wrap the ponytail.
The Budget Bridal Up-Do

A post shared by TYME Hair Products (@tyme)
A multi-wrap technique will keep this look locked in place for your big day, or even a night out. Use the leftover face-framing pieces to hide the Uplift Band, or let the metal accent peek through for a little touch of glam!
The Faux Ballerina Bun
View this post on Instagram
A post shared by TYME Hair Products (@tyme)
A busy woman's go-to! The faux ballerina bun is an instant up-do perfect for hitting the gym, cleaning the house, or diving into a spreadsheet hairstyle. Leave your face-framing pieces out for a relaxed daytime look, too!
The J.Lo
View this post on Instagram
A post shared by TYME Hair Products (@tyme)
We LOVE this sassy look for a night out! Wrap a section of hair around the Uplift Band or leave it bare just so your friends can ask you, "What type of hair tie is that?!"

5 Step "Lazy Girl" Hair Care Routine
Read Time: 4 min 35 sec
There has never been a better time to be a "lazy girl." Social media is giving us constant access to daily life hacks, and none are lacking when it comes to beauty and fashion. With all the influencers out there trying and promoting new products, we barely even have to look anymore. So we're throwing ourselves out there (don't say we never tried;) as the ultimate hot girl/lazy girl hack.
If you're wondering how to make your hair look good with minimal effort, you've found yourself in the right place. There are ways to make the process a little quicker, a little easier, and last even longer, cutting your styling time in half! This is THE lazy girl hair care routine.
Meet the 'A Team'
Limitless Universal SprayWe call this liquid gold, and we mean it. This super-formula takes on the jobs of your thermal protectant, hair oil, masks, mousse, detangler, AND a texturizer. If you think it's too good to be true, we're about to change your life.
BigTYME Root Lift Powder Our spray powder gives sky-high lift, grip, and volume. It's the perfect product to elevate your face-framing pieces and provide an added boost to the crown of your head.
SelfieTYME Hairspray a.k.a. our secret ingredient in long-lasting styles. SelfieTYME Hairspray has copolymers, anti-humidifiers, and collagen to lock your styles in place while maintaining a brushable texture.
TYMELESS Repair and Shine When we were formulating our line, we wanted to take the same concept of "anti-aging" and apply it to hair care. Day in and day out, we expose our hair to heat and stressors; TYMELESS works to combat all those little moments of wear and tear. Using Baobab Tree Extract, TYMELESS works to thicken the hair cuticle, making it less susceptible to damage.
The lazy girl's weekly hair care routine
*or wash day routine, depending on how often you wash*
Step One: Shampoo and Condition Pro tip for all the lazy girls out there, brush your hair BEFORE you get in the shower to avoid the ever-dreaded drain clog. It is usual for strands to find their way to the bottom of the shower, but brushing beforehand makes it even easier.
Wash with a moisture-focused shampoo that is paraben-free. After lathering up, let your shampoo sit for a few minutes to work its magic. Rinse thoroughly and squeeze as much excess water out of your hair as possible, so your conditioner can truly do its job.
Pro-Tip: A well-conditioned scalp prevents your scalp from overproducing oil, allowing you to go longer between washes.
Step Two: Protect While your hair is still 50% wet, apply your thermal protectant. It will then dry into your cuticles, protecting your hair for even longer and allowing your styles to last longer.
Step Three: Dry Your method of drying is your method. If you're an air dryer, here are a few tips to get the most out of that experience. If you have curly hair and like to dry it with your diffuser, our BlowTYME Hair Dryer comes complete with both a diffuser and concentrator. But for the girlies who love a sleek blowout, we just saved you a TON of time with the BlowBrush.
Step Four: Protect Again Whether it's been four days since you blow-dried your hair or you literally just got done, apply more thermal protectant to your hair. Think of it as sunscreen for your hair. Once that heat exposure happens, you have to keep re-applying. Thermal protectants like Limitless Universal Spray have mild styling agents that protect your hair during heat exposure and help lock those styles in, too.
Step Five: Style Let us introduce you to the two ultimate lazy girl hacks: TYME Iron Pro and TYME Iron Air. These irons are designed to make your styling process faster and use technology to make those styles last longer. Find out which iron best suits your lifestyle here.
Lazy girl pro-tip: We're not judging our curls or messing with our curls until the very last strand is curled and cooled. Only then are we brushing through them and deciding which to touch up.
Additional Steps for when you're feeling a little *extra*Refine Now that your hair is fully curled, take time to do any touch-ups and make sure your hair is sitting just the way you like. Adding a touch of volume with a root lift powder like BigTYME can make a huge difference in how you feel about your look. BigTYME provides that subtle grip to keep face-framing pieces sitting exactly how we want them to.
Secure Hairspray can be left entirely out of a hairstyle, or it can make a style. Buildable hairsprays like SelfieTYME can hold styles in place for days or serve as a touchable soft tool to calm stray hairs. Pro Tip: Our entire TYME collection uses the same scent notes. Add a spritz of our hairspray on those questionable days to cover the fact that maybe you should have washed today. ;)
Regenerate Lazy girls don't have time for multiple hair masks a week or haircuts every six weeks. So we created a product to help repair your hair after heat exposure.* TYMELESS is basically like an anti-aging serum for your hair. It works to build up the hair follicle, so it is less susceptible to heat damage and has more area to hold onto moisture.
*Can you tell that we're genuinely concerned about how much heat you apply to your hair?

The Results Are In...The BlowBrush Works On All Hair Types
Read Time: 1min
We're big advocates of products that work for all hair types! The TYME brand started with a revolutionary iron that works on everything from straight to curly and long to short. Since then, we've grown our collection, and the BlowBrush was a game changer. The simplicity of putting together the powerful combination of a round brush and blowdryer into one quickly caught women's attention all over the world. Within weeks of launching the BlowBrush, our day one customers had us SOLD OUT! It wasn't just the possibility of cutting styling efforts in half that caught our attention. The BlowBrush is elevated with nylon and faux boar bristles that grab every strand of hair, ensuring users have a perfectly dry blowout. We added features like a 360-degree swivel cord and versatile settings so your blowout can be customized just for you. With a fresh restock of BlowBrushes, we wanted to share the results our customers had. Check out their results with the BlowBrush below.

TYME CEO, Jacynda Smith
“For years, I watched women struggle to create the looks their stylists we’re creating in the salon, and I genuinely believe products like the TYME Iron Pro and BlowBrush help bridge that gap. Providing more ergonomic designs lets you focus more on the style you’re creating rather than how the tool feels in your hand.
The BlowBrush is going to change how you interact with your hair entirely. The powerful drying capabilities paired with immediate styling set you up for great-looking hair from day one and in half the time. If you’re looking for that product that is going to help you extend your wash cycle and give you longer-lasting hair...this is it.”

Fall Trends We're LOVING (And The Pics To Inspire You.)
Read Time: 2 min 4 sec
We love exploring the new trends that pop up every season. With the fall weather finally setting in, we need some new looks to complement our layers. In our search for the perfect fall hairstyles and accessories, we have made it our goal to move towards a more attainable definition of beauty, which works for everyone, from runway models to athletes and busy moms, too!
The Cuts
A True Bob The roaring 20’s are easing their way into the 21st century. The classic bob is popping up everywhere, from runways to red carpets and even our local coffee shops. Chances are you’ve spotted one of these effortlessly chic cuts already this season. Don’t be afraid to test the waters.
The Wolf CutIf you didn’t already know, there are a few things in life that look good on everybody: ankle-length pants, a solid color tee, and the wolf cut. It works for every hair type and every face shape. This cut will change your life. Please do it!
Bangs Match the wolf cut with a touch of fringe, and you will feel like an entirely new person. While bangs have been back on trend for the past few years, we think they’re here to stay.
The Hairstyles
Blowouts We’re biased, but this blowout tutorial is fire. Few feelings on Earth match the sensation of running your hands through silky smooth hair. Not only does it show off your healthy locks, but it sets your next hairstyle up for success. We’re definitely advocating for women to perfect their at-home blowout. You won’t regret it.
The Casual Half-Up Look Shout out to claw clips (see listing below) for bringing back some of the best hairstyles that we almost forgot. Half-up looks like these are bougie enough for a night on the town and just casual enough to accidentally wear for five days in a row.
The Accessories
Vibrant ClipsWe can’t stop drooling over EmiJays’s collection. While monochromatic outfits and gold jewelry are flooding our feeds, we’re also still seeing the effects of Gen Z’s discovery of claw clips. We do have to say they are bringing claw clips back in a pretty glamorous way. We’re seeing loud, vibrant colored, and patterned floral clips, and we love them. More of these, please!
Piggybacking off of that… Loud Pins Lover’s Tempo understood the assignment. We can already hear you. “What’s the difference?!” Hairpins are more like bobby pins than clips are, and while they do have some holding power, they’re typically more for decoration. Pins used to be reserved strictly for weddings and special events but are more common now.
Hats Bucket hats. Felt hats. Beanies. Baseball hats. You name it, that type of hat is on-trend right now. Whether it’s the newfound love for functional fashion or just trying to set a “vibe,” hats have made their complete comeback. Get yourself one and let that hair rest an extra day between washes.

The Perfect Hairstyles For Every Zodiac Sign
Read Time: 3 min 21 sec
Call it a stroke of genius or just trying to find a hack for our everyday style, but we think we found the ultimate life hack. Your everyday hairstyle should align with your zodiac. Like...hello?! It will definitely fit your personality. It's perfect.
Aquarius
Air Sign
Aquarius, we absolutely adore your ties to personal freedom. Hairstyles that let you prioritize that freedom is a crucial component in your life. We love an "au natural" moment for you. Whether you're embracing your natural curls or creating some false ones (your secret is safe with us), working with what you already have keeps you from stressing.
Pisces
Water Sign
Pisces, we see your romantic little hearts but truly raise a glass to your imagination. You can see creative opportunities throughout the day, which leads us to think that you need to be ready to go at a moment's notice. Braids are perfect for you! Wear them low for a date night or go with boxer braids for today's adventure, either way, you're going to look amazing!
Aries
Fire Sign
Your symbol is the Ram for a reason. You boss up and dive into everything head first. As a natural-born leader, we thought you deserved a style that allows you not only to look incredible but truly get sh*t done. The Ariana Grande-inspired pony is perfect for you. Bougie enough to make you stand out in a crowd but functional enough that if someone challenges you to a race, you're ready to go.
Taurus
Earth Sign
While most people see you as chill and laid back, we know your determination levels are off the charts. While comfort is a massive part of your life, you see the work that goes into attaining that comfort. There is no better "let's get it done" hairstyle than a bun. You mean business, and you're going to put sweats on as soon as the work is complete.
Gemini
Air Sign
Your youthful outlook on life and abilities to shift between aesthetics made you the hardest to pick! But at the end of the day, we all know your number one trait: you know something we don't. You always have the scoop. Therefore, you're getting your own Gretchen Wieners moment with Whispering Waves. This look can last for days and switch between all the different styles out there. They are perfect for you.
Cancer
Water Sign
Unanimously dubbed the crybaby's of the zodiac and a water sign...we think water is your thing. Add in a healthy obsession with nostalgia and beach waves the perfect look for you, Cancer. You can rock them straight out of the water (we know this is your preferred way) or create "I barely even tried" waves to give off that romantic aesthetic.
Leo
Fire Sign
Leo's are ruled by the Sun and definitely have a "main character" mindset, but for the best reasons. You let your confidence shine and work hard, all while looking incredible. We're giving your mane an extra dose of love with Rocker Waves. Make these waves big and wild, or keep them under the radar. Either way, you know you look good.
Virgo
Earth Sign
Can we say detail-oriented? We know you're a dream to work with and, honestly, probably the group's mom, but your perfectionism can sometimes get in your way. We think a sleek and straight look is a perfect every day for you! Every strand of hair can be in its place without you having to worry about it.
Libra
Air Sign
You want to make things right. That can take place in arguments, the organization of your home, but definitely in your looks. We can't put our thumb on it, but Libra aesthetics are always fire. Glam waves are the perfect look to bring out your sexy side...I mean, your ruling planet is Venus...like the goddess of love Venus.
Scorpio
Water Sign
Independence is your thing. Don't get us wrong, your confidence is through the roof, but never in a bragging kind of way. Relaxed waves are the perfect everyday look for you because they're just enough effort to let the world know you tried, but they also could be from five days ago. We all know how you like to keep them guessing. ;)
Sagittarius
Fire Sign
You may be the most welcoming of all the zodiac signs. An extrovert to the core, you're constantly on the go. Big, bouncy waves are the absolute ideal hairstyle to match your big personality. They'll always fit in with your lifestyle, and you won't have to worry about being ready for the group picture!
Capricorn
Earth Sign
You are the literal boss. Ambition lives in your bones, therefore, making every part of your daily routine efficient—That's why you should opt for a blowout. Nothing puts you in a more powerful mood than a fresh from the salon state-of-mind, even if you just did it at home. Plus, not having to worry about how bomb your hair looks will give you plenty of brain space to crush that next project.

TYME Reviews: The Good And The Bad
Read Time: 4 min 8 sec
Taking the time to learn something new can be frustrating, but something is empowering about mastering a new skill like mowing the lawn for the first time. We know it’s like vacuuming, but not entirely, and some methods are good for your yard. All in all, you don’t quite know how to do it unless someone explains it to you or you jump in headfirst. Well, that is kind of how the TYME Iron works, too. It’s not a straightener. It’s not a curling iron. It’s different, and there are a couple of things to know before jumping in.
We’re so grateful for all the people who take a chance on our iron. Knowing that something is going to take time to learn can be intimidating, and we’re so grateful for all the people who have persevered and learned the TYME Iron... some people don’t.
The Bad Reviews
The Milabu Review
We love that she starts the review acknowledging that there is a learning curve, but unfortunately, she doesn’t mind the instructions after that statement. While we wish you could jump through the screen and give her a helping hand, we’ll give YOU the tips we would have given her.
Our Key Takeaways:
Pay attention to which side of the iron you’re using when approaching your hair. There is an open side, which we call the straightening side, as its best for straightening, and a closed side with a lip. The closed side is for curling. If you want to curl, this side MUST be the side closest to your roots. A great indicator to know if you can curl or straighten is determining where your wrist is facing.
For curling, the inside of your wrist is facing you when you approach the hair.
For straightening, the inside of your wrist is facing away from you when you approach your hair.
Curling on the left side can throw people through a loop. We get it. Here is the simplest way to explain it: start with the iron in your dominant hand (thumb behind the light, of course), hinge your arm up over your head. Typically, in this position, your knuckles face the mirror, and we prefer the swivel cord of the iron to be behind you.
Use your non-dominant hand to guide and help the piece you’re curling stay on the titanium plates.
Leave the vice grips in your toolbox. ;) We’ve engineered a precise angle in our iron, so you don’t have to apply tons of pressure while using it.
Yikes.
First, what we hear in this review is that the user is going too fast. Passing through each section of hair too quickly and with very little rotation will not result in an aesthetically pleasing curl. Our titanium plates heat the hair faster than the average straightener or curling iron, but the key to a great curl is proper cooling time. Where your hair cools is where it stays. We designed the TYME Iron with a curved barrel so that your hair can cool along that curve as you curl. While we preach that our iron is fast, it’s not a magic wand.
So our suggestion to this user would be to slow down and take advantage of our FREE HangTYME sessions. While learning a new skill on your own can be a source of pride, please don’t struggle through a new practice and then give up when it doesn’t work the way you intend. We have a stylist dedicated to teaching you how to use the TYME Iron.
How you approach your hair with the TYME Iron does matter.
We must be active participants in how we use the TYME iron. If you rotate the iron a lot, you’re going to get a bigger curl. If you barely turn the iron, you’re hardly going to get a curl at all. One of the number one things we hear is “my curls don’t last” or “It’s just a straightener.” To that, we say, take your time. Blazing through your locks when trying to curl isn’t going to create a curl. It’s going to apply just enough heat to warm up the hair and leave no time for cooling in a curled position, meaning you just lightly straightened your hair.
We do have tutorials for left-handers!
We wish our small business could engineer a left-handed TYME Iron for a quick solution, but we do have a glimmer of hope for all you left-handed stylists out there. Our gal, Savannah, is also left-handed. She has mastered the TYME Iron, and we love her words of advice.
“Your left hand is still a very active participant in the curling process. Truly all your right hand is doing is closing the iron and rotating. The left hand is grabbing the section of hair you’re curling, placing the hair in the iron, guiding it through the iron, and twisting the curl after it is out of the iron. Don’t underestimate how much that hand is doing!”
The Good Reviews
We applaud your patience!
Going in with the mindset that you CAN learn this new tool and that it is different truly makes all the difference. We’re so impressed with Kelly’s commitment to the process and that she invested into her routine further by exploring our wet line. Our wet line works hand in hand with the TYME Iron and BlowTYME. The products are hyper-hydrating and work to protect your hair from outside stressors like heat and humidity. The best part? Do you know the oils that make your hair feel greasy, sebum? Our shampoo and conditioner work to balance sebum production, so you don’t have to wash your hair as much!
YES MERRI!
We’re biased, but our brushes are top knot-ch! ;) The paddle brush gives an element of luxury to getting ready. Our nylon bristles glide through your locks with ease and give your scalp a well-deserved massage.
It is super easy!
There is no going back once you have learned how to use the iron and have your technique down. If we were unable to use TYME Irons for some depressing reason to get ready in the morning, we would literally daydream about them.

Eight Do It Yourself Bridal Hairstyles That Every Bride Will Love
Read Time: 2 min 55 sec
With in-person events happening again, this year’s event season is jam-packed with weddings, homecomings, reunions, and parties of all kinds. We’re loving our full schedules but figuring out how to get ready for all of these events, let alone what to wear, is an entirely different story.
We’ve been scouring the internet for different ways to style your hair for your wedding day, and because we always love a thrifty moment, we found the best wedding hairstyles you can do at home!
Up-do’s
You can never go wrong with an up-do! They flatter any formal wear and can give you a slight relief in that long-lasting summer heat. There are a few essential tools you’ll want around when attempting to create any of these looks; bobby pins, small elastic hair ties, and BigTYME.
The Polished Low-Bun
A low bun is a perfect way to style your hair for your wedding! This perfectly classy look is suitable for a five-star hotel gala or even just a courthouse wedding. Add a touch of volume to this look by teasing the under layers of the bun and smooth the top layer, creating an elevated look.
The Braided Bun
Do it yourself hairstyles, like this braided bun, are great to learn for special events, but we also LOVE keeping them in our back pocket for those “maybe we should have washed our hair yesterday” days.
The Voluptuous Pony
A high, voluminous ponytail is the perfect combination of practical and chic. Elevated ponytails are the ideal hairstyle for the sporty bride. Let’s be honest; if there is a dance floor, we’re probably going to bust a move on it. Keeping your hair off your neck will help prevent some excess sweat. ;)
The Lowkey Fishtail Braid
Fishtail braids are a fantastic way to complement a 60s or 70s inspired wedding! A glamorous hairpin or hair wrap is the perfect accessories to dress up these low-maintenance braids.
Curls For Days
Figuring out how to wear your hair on your wedding day can be stressful, but we LOVE this pro tip: Wear an elevated version of your everyday look. Applying this hack to your hairstyle will have you feeling your best in any pictures from your wedding day, meaning you’ll love all of them! Here are our favorite looks and how to create them with the TYME Iron.
Beach Waves
Big Waves
Creating these big beachy waves is an absolute breeze. This look is perfect for when you spent a little too much time on your makeup and need to get out the door quickly. A few tricks to making the curls BIG are:
Grab a thin section of hair that is just long enough to take up the bulk of your iron plates.
Once your hair is in the plates, rotate your knuckles to the back wall creating a big curve.
Angle your iron at nearly a horizontal angle.
Barely-there waves
While these beachy waves take a little more time to create, they are genuinely flattering in any setting. Here are the fool-proof tricks to making these waves fall perfectly:
Grab small sections of hair that take up less than half of your iron plate.
When curling, rotate your knuckles to face away from you but not toward the back of the room.
Curl with your iron angled in between a vertical angle and a 45-degree angle.
For a proper beachy wave look, finish each of these curls by drawing your iron toward the floor at a vertical angle. The ends will come out slightly more straight than the rest of your hair, giving you fresh out-of-the-water vibes. Don’t forget SelfieTYME hairspray to lock in all your hard work.
Glamour Waves
Glamour waves are those unicorn curls. These curls are perfect for every bride with short hair, medium hair, long hair, really just any type of hair. While creating the look takes a little time, and we definitely suggest doing a trial run before just jumping in on your big day, this style is so worth it.
