Read Time: 2 min 50 sec For a brief moment, the internet was taken by storm because a Gen Z-er claimed that side parts were “out” and middle parts are “in,” along with some other trends (skinny jeans vs. straight and the crying laughing emoji). This claim caused almost the entire Millennial generation to simultaneously lose their minds. TikTok and Instagram flooded with clap-back videos from either generation trying to persuade their followers why their part was superior over the other. While these videos made for some great content to scroll through, we realized something more while watching. Women were trying something new. Admit it, when was the last time you really tried something new and out of the box for yourself and your physical appearance? It’s been a while, right? Changing your part can be a daunting task if you don’t know what you’re doing, and especially if you’ve been wearing your hair the same way for years. BUT IT’S SO WORTH IT! There are a couple of incredible things that can happen when you switch your part up from time to time: 1. You may find your best self. Just because you’ve done something the same way for years, doesn’t mean it's the best way. Switching your part may give you a new best angle or way to highlight your favorite part of your face. 2. You can keep your hair follicles on their toes! Don’t underestimate your hair’s capability of adjusting. If you’ve been wearing the same part for years, your hair has learned to grow that way and has adapted to the wear and tear. Switching it up encourages your hair to strengthen and grow in new ways! We couldn’t help but notice the few videos where a quick change was made without any styling effort and some women just gave up. Here’s our quick guide on how to prep and style both parts, so you can truly see which is best for you. Side Part to Middle Part Chances are, if you’re reading this section, you’re a millennial. What’s up Y2K babies?! We get that you’re probably anxious to recreate a not-so-flattering 90’s look, but trust us, you won’t! Start your transition of the side to the middle part while your hair is wet. Blow-dry the roots of your hair in all different directions until they’re almost completely dry, then make your part. The appeal of a middle part is the ability to frame your face well, so grab your round brush! It’s important that your face-framing pieces collapse against your forehead instead of lifting off. Wrap your hair around the round brush, but pull down while blowdrying instead of up. You want the air to be drying the underside of your hair to help create that perfect wave. Pro-Tips: If you’re missing the volume your side part gave you, add it in other places, like the crown or bulk of your hair! Be mindful of how you tussle your hair with this part. Give lift at the crown, but make sure your encouraging collapse with your face-framing pieces and opening those pieces at the cheek or lip. Middle Part to Side Part Chances are if you switch your part right now at this moment, you’re going to feel like you have a giant cowlick. Don’t give up though! The key to switching your part is to do it while your hair is wet. This gives you better control of where your hair ends up. Kind of like our saying “Where hair cools is where it stays” consider this “where hair dries, it stays.” ;) When blowdrying, use a paddle brush to dry your roots in all different directions to break up your hair’s natural tendency. Opt for a just-off-center part instead of diving into a deep side part. The appeal of a side part for most women is the ability to give their hair volume right around their face, so don't be afraid to use that round brush and give your hair some root lift! Pro-Tip: We noticed some people don’t like the side of their head that has less hair or volume. If this is the case for you, make your side part a diagonal instead. This will give you some extra hair on that side to build more volume.

Read Time: 2 min 16 sec Let's face it, beach waves are always in season, and we're hoping curtain bangs are here to stay! Beach waves are the perfect curl to dress up casual and dress down black tie while looking effortlessly flawless. For This Look: Upstaged Thermal Protectant Triangle Brush BlowTYME Hairdryer TYME Iron Pro BigTYME Root Lift Powder SelfieTYME Hairspray Watch the full video here! View this post on Instagram A post shared by TYME (@tymeiron) on Sep 4, 2019 at 1:09pm PDT Create the Perfect Curtain Bangs If you have bangs or face-framing pieces that you’re particular about, always start your style in front. To create these perfectly tossed you’ll need your Upstaged thermal protectant, Triangle Brush, and BlowTYME Hairdryer. Always start any heated hairstyle with a thermal protectant. Use the triangle brush at a 45-degree angle, pick up* your curtain bangs and rotate the brush backward. Start blow drying* at a vertical angle, encouraging the hair to push back along with the brush. This method will develop the swept curl look. Pro tip: Thermal protectants also works as an amazing styling agent in place of hairspray when you’re trying to create a more laid back look. *We suggest keeping your blow dryer on a low setting with high heat. Creating THE Look Pictured: Curling left the side and curling the right side To achieve beach waves on your right side, start with your iron facing upward, rotate the iron back toward yourself and pushing through the hair at a downward, 45-degree angle. At the end of the curl draw the iron down toward the floor to elongate the curl, creating the perfect beachy wave. On your left side, do the same thing but start with your iron angled downward. Pick Up the Volume If you’re looking for more dimension or volume in your curls, grab a small section at the crown of your head, and start your curl at the top, rotating right away to create a “peak” for the curl higher. Close to the halfway mark of that already curled piece, drop out your curl in the middle of a “valley.” It is essential to twist the curl back in your hand. This should ensure that the partial curl you just created flows seamlessly with the previous curl. We call these "Pick Up Curls"! (Peaks and Valleys 101: On a traditional curl, the “peak” of your curl is that is the side that is facing outward and turning back away from your face, while the “valley” is the side facing inward and rotating back towards your face.”) Finishing your Style Take your look to the next level with BigTYME Volumizing Powder Spray. Apply it to the under your top section on hair. Use your fingertips to “shampoo” the powder in, creating a lived-in, lifted look. Continue to use the spray throughout the entirety of your hair to give your curls more texture and separation - a beachy wave essential. Finish this gorgeous look with SelfieTYME hairspray to lock in those perfectly swept curtain bangs. Start by spraying the underside of the bangs while encouraging the bangs backward. Then pinch either side together, in the middle of the forehead and spray. Gentle slide the bangs back to their styled position and spray again. Final Tip: Adding a touch of thermal protectant to the ends of your hair will help keep them smooth and shiny. Tackle a new decade with this simple and absolutely gorgeous look!

Whether you keep them short and flared or long and face-framing, curtain bangs are a winner. Natural Locks We’re begging for Summer 2021 to be the summer of natural curls! The transformation our culture is making into full-on curly hair pride is incredible. We don’t want to see anyone denying their curls this summer. Spoil your curls with shampoo and conditioner that actually moisturizes them and doesn’t weigh them down, and keep them bouncing with products that don’t dry them out and encourage constant moisture. Those curls deserve it! Bucket Hats are Back View this post on Instagram A post shared by JESSICA BAILEY (@jessthrowiton_) We’re not talking about the khaki fishing hats your grandpa owns. Street fashion has blessed us with the opportunity to breathe new life into bucket hats and we’re definitely adding a few to our accessories catalog during the sunny seasons.

Straight Hair View this post on Instagram A post shared by TYME Hair Products (@tyme) Silky straight hair has made its way into the 2020s! We love seeing smooth hydrated hair out in the wild.

Read Time: 3 min 41 sec If you’ve been tasked with creating a home office and working there since last March, you KNOW the struggle of getting ready for a zoom meeting...or staying on task...or having kids scream in the house all day long…and the list goes on! While we may be blessed with the opportunity to keep working that doesn’t make turning on the camera for a meeting or virtual happy hour any less of a struggle. We’ve fallen into a routine of comfortability within our homes, as we should! Sweatpant sales are through the roof and let’s be honest, do any of us really know how to do a full face of make-up still? While this comfortable aesthetic is perfect for those certain coworkers or friends (you know who you are), it isn’t always ideal for a full team zoom call or FaceTime dating. Our team at TYME compiled a list of easy, go-to hairstyles to get you ready for your virtual events while still working on extending your wash cycle with little to no effort! View this post on Instagram A post shared by TYME Hair Products (@tyme) The Allstars These looks are the most low maintenance hairstyles for every hair type that you can throw together for that Zoom meeting you forgot about or that impromptu FaceTime happy hour. Head(bands) First While they may seem like a cheap scapegoat, today’s trendiest headbands are an entirely different vibe. These knotted headbands have been duped and recreated by a ton of different companies. Tossing one of these headbands on after giving your hair a brush through or adding a touch of a styling agent (like Upstaged) is the perfect way to give a laid back vibe, but still, extremely put together! Top Knot-ch Will a top knot ever go out of style? We pray not! Top knots work for nearly every hair type and medium to long hair. They can be sleek and polished or wild and fun, making them ideal for both a date night or presenting your latest project. Locked and Low-ded You can never go wrong with a sleek low bun or ponytail. It’s the ultimate power look! Give yourself a hard part (left, right, or center!) and pull those locks back. This is also a great style to soften up by pulling out a few face-framing pieces! For Straight Locks View this post on Instagram A post shared by TYME Hair Products (@tyme) Girl! What a quick brush through can do for you is incredible! We’re jealous. But if you’re looking to give a little extra oomph to your look try these amplifiers: Fishtail braid Give yourself a deep part on the opposite side of where you want your braid to sit and start your fishtail braid at the nape of your neck. These types of braids are so easy to keep sleek and refined or you can add a touch of texture before braiding with a spritz of BigTYME! Bubble Pony These ponytails are SO fun! They can be worn as a high pony look or a twist on a low pulled-together look. No matter where the bubble pony sits, add tons of volume to this look with BigTYME. It will give you the perfect amount of texture to make these bubbles POP! Low and Slow Curls Turn the temperature down on your TYME Iron, add a healthy dose of thermal protectant and curl your hair at a slower-than-normal pace. These curls will not only look flawless but with a touch of hairspray, they will last for days, giving you an advantage on the day! Wavy Mane View this post on Instagram A post shared by TYME Hair Products (@tyme) If you have wavy hair EMBRACE IT! There are endless opportunities for your hair type, but we’re obsessing over these: Play with your part! A wonderful to add a little bit of spice to your look AND extend your wash is to switch up your part! While your hair may fight you on it for a minute or two, keeping one side tucked behind your ear will help manage those stubborn pieces. Claw Clips Hello, the 90s are calling and they’re coming back in full force. Giant claw clips are finding their way back into our 2021 fashion trends and we’re here for it. We’re talking major Julia Roberts vibes. These giant clips are a low maintenance way of getting all your hair out of your face while still having a pulled-together look. At-home Blowout. We love a good blowout! When done right, a blowout can add tons of volume to your locks and add day(s) to your wash cycle. Do yourself a favor and start learning to master the art of the blowout! Curls for Days Adding an extra day of life to your curls with a generous amount of Upstaged is an easy solution for your curls! But if you’re looking to amp up your aesthetic these tricks are PERFECT for you: Stick a pin in it! Bold clips and barrettes are flooding our Instagram feeds. They are such an easy way to quickly add a ton of flair to your locks! French Braids Sometimes our curls don’t quite wake up with us. Instead of adding a ton of product to perk them back up, go with the flow and let them relax with these easy braids! Finish the braids all the way through or opt for fun space buns to give a dash of sass to your look. Silky Smooth While for some of us it may not be a “quick fix,” but straightening our locks adds a ton of other possibilities to day-to-day looks. By turning up the temperature on your TYME Iron, you’ll cut your straightening time immensely AND those straight locks will last even longer!

We love exploring the new trends that pop up every season. Whether it’s clothing, jewelry, shoes, or hairstyles, getting to dive in and try new looks is always fun. Who doesn’t love playing dress-up? 2020 has served as a transformational year for fashion, so we’re embracing all things “luxury lounge” or our personal favorite “quarantine chic.” By taking the turn towards functional and eco-friendly fashion, we’re moving towards a more attainable definition of beauty that works for everyone from runway models to athletes and busy moms too! We’ve scoured the edges of the internet to find the BEST late-fall/winter hair accessories to help you feel chic if you’re drinking wine on the couch or finally getting a chance to head out for a night on the town. Bows Bows are no longer reserved for the cheerleaders of the world. A strategically placed bow can elevate a quickly thrown together hairstyle! We’re opting for lower placements like on the backside of your messy bun or holding together your low ponytail this season. Using a headscarf to create your bow makes for a statement style while using sheer material will give you a soft, romantic look. Bold Headbands We LOVE this trend! Ever since Gucci started making statement headbands, the fashion world has been sticking to it. More and more brides are opting for a simpler hairstyle with a bold headband to give them an angelic look on the biggest day of their lives, while some women are using them to bring a bit more fashion into their day four or five hair. Ponytails Ok...so they never really went anywhere, BUT there are so many more options now! The textured pony of the early 2000s is back in action and the 90s sleek low pony is making a comeback amongst Gen Z. We especially love a slicked-back look with TONS of volume and texture and a fluffed-up, bubble pony! Giant Scrunchies Dear Scrunchies, We’re so sorry we abandoned you for a decade or more. You’re really wonderful and make us feel fabulous. Thanks for being patient while we got our $h!+ together. Love, Women everywhere. Scrunchies have made a serious fashion comeback in the past few years and we’re here for it! Dramatically sized scrunchies are everything right now. They look boho chic on your wrist and even better in your hair. Jewels HBO’s Euphoria took incredible risks with their style choices throughout the series and brought bold choices like hair jewels into the light. Their work has sparked a trend of women utilizing the style in unique ways. Bring out your inner diva with a trail of pearls leading to a ponytail, a trio of gems to make your straight look instantly fabulous, or go full out with a bold Cher-Esque veil. We believe in you! Statement Clips Bold clips are simply just fun! They bring a cute, flirty element to every hairstyle. They can be simply for a fashion statement. They can serve a purpose and clip your hair up and out of the way. There is literally no reason to not get on board with this trend! Side Part The middle part has stolen the show for the past few years, but side parts are making a comeback! We’re big fans of changing up your part, too! It’s a simple way look a little more fancy at your holiday party. Fan-favorite: Hats Fall/winter basically screams “cute hats.” Baseball hats. Wide brim hats. Berets. Beanies. You name it, it works!

Read Time: 2 min 45 sec Want to know the secret to almost every Red Carpet, glorious 1970s, and Edward Cullen-Esque hairstyle? Round Brushes These seemingly intimidating hair tools weren’t invented until the 1960s, but have made a powerful stance in the beauty industry since. Hairstylists all over the world keep round brushes close at hand because of the endless styles they can create when paired with a powerful blow dryer. From runway blowouts to voluminous pixie cuts and even silky straight hair, round brushes are a one-stop-shop for nearly every styling need. Our favorite part? They work with every hair type! Mastering the use of a round brush does take a bit of practice, but Jacynda Smith, CEO of TYME has gathered the best tips to leave you feeling like you just walked out of the salon! View this post on Instagram A post shared by TYME Hair Products (@tyme) on Sep 10, 2020 at 1:26pm PDT Ground Rules Rule #1: Always use a thermal protectant when applying heat to your hair. We suggest the Upstaged Thermal Protectant. It is essentially a mousse, detangler, thermal protectant, a hair mask, and a texturizer all in one! Rule #2: Round brushes come in at the end of your blow-drying time. Hair should be nearly 70% dry before you even pick up your round brush. Your hair should feel cool to the touch before you get started. Rule #3: Rotate. Rotate. Rotate. We don’t suggest trying to brush tangles out with a round brush! Round brushes are meant for styling, not brushing. Grab a small section you’re looking to style and place it over the brush. Gently rotate the brush through the length of your hair. Be cautious with larger section sizes because they are harder to maintain and run a greater risk of tangling together. Rule #4: Keep your blow dryer pointed away from your roots. Reversing that angle will fluff up your hair cuticle creating tons of frizz. Creating Your Look Much like the TYME Iron, the styles you create with a round brush depend greatly on angles! Except these angles come from your blow dryer. Where your blowdryer is placed is the ultimate factor in what style you’ll end up with. We suggest investing in a blowdryer that comes with a condenser like the BlowTYME Hairdryer. Jacynda said it perfectly in the video above, “Where the hair cools is where it stays.” So if your hair is cooling on the curve of the rounded brush, it will have a curl or wave to it, but if it’s cooling without even touching the brush, it will be straight. Check out our different TYME approved methods to creating these different looks. And just as a reminder, your round brush should stay at the same angle the entire time you’re styling to keep consistency. Turn the heat up on your blowdryer and let’s get to work! Looking for Less Volume? Keep your blow dryer on the inside angle of your round brush. In a gentle and steady motion, rotate (see Rule #3) the round brush through your locks. This method will give you a soft and straight style. Au Natural? Keep your blow dryer at a 90-degree intersection with your round brush for a more natural look. This look will still be smooth with a very slight lift and just a glimpse of your natural wave. Just a Little Bit of Volume? Keeping your blow dryer to the outside edge of your round brush will give you volume throughout the entirety of the section you’re blow-drying. This method is ideal before styling a polished look like glam waves or an updo. The Most Volume? To get a sky-high blowout you’ll want your blowdryer to be blowing your hair back towards you underneath the round brush. Be sure to follow the curve of the brush closely and gently rotate it through your hair. When you get to the end of your length, tightly wrap your hair back into the round brush. Now rotate your round brush 90 degrees and *gently* unwind your locks. Voila! You just took the first step in DIY-ing a gorgeous blowout!

Read Time 1 min 48 sec There are tons of reasons we love the TYME Iron! Everything from it’s gorgeous aesthetics to ergonomic design, but most importantly, it’s versatility! When we were testing the iron, it was important to our team that the iron worked on multiple hair types, including textured and coarse hair. Watch as Jayla glides through her TYPE hair with ease in the video below! Check out our TYME verified style tips to achieve the look. 👇👇👇 View this post on Instagram Jayla’s Tips • brush out natural curls • section from bottom to top • lead TYME Iron with brush to spread our hair strands • straighten the top with a center part • part hair for desired style when finished! A post shared by TYME Hair Products (@tyme) on May 26, 2020 at 1:14pm PDT Prepare! Prepare! Prepare! This is the key to making this sleek look last. Prep your hair with Upstaged Thermal Protectant. Upstaged is a strong and long-lasting product that adds an incredible scent, protects your hair and can double as a lightweight styling aid. Make sure to brush this evenly through the entirety of your hair. The TYME Iron runs from 300 to 400 degrees and a higher temperature will help you get the desired look on the first pass through your hair. A singular pass at a higher temperature creates less damage than multiple passes with a lower temp. Don’t forget that! Work Your Way Up! Unlike most TYME styles, when working with thicker textured hair, we suggest sectioning. Working from the nape of your neck up to the crown will be the quickest, most effective method to straighten your hair. This will give you the opportunity to trial and error a few pieces underneath, while still giving them the time to cool before making any “corrections.” Your Brush is Your Best Friend Grab your Detangler Brush and let’s dive in! Our TYME brushes are designed to handle the heat coming from the iron, so you can seamlessly work with each tool. Using your brush as a guide to keep your curls sprawled out will ensure heat is distributed evenly through your section of hair. Pro Tip: Give each section a thorough brush through before straightening! This will help ensure you won’t hit any snags when passing through with the iron. Lock It Down! After you’ve made it through all your curls, there are a few optional steps to keep that sleek shine. Grab a bottle of SelfieTYME Hairspray and use as much or as little hairspray as you like, our’s is chemically created to be touchably soft! The finishing touch? Our TYMELESS Repair and Shine Spray. It is literally liquid gold. Packed with tons of vitamins and proteins, TYMELESS will help lock in hydration, thus preventing your hair from humidity, static, and frizz. Spend less time trying to create new looks and more time feeling your best. We would love to hear your results, so please share it with us on any of our platforms!

If you have thicker hair or coarse hair, it’s your lucky day. Jump down to the next paragraph. The ladies with finer and sleeker hair need to add a bit of texture to those locks! Adding a touch of SelfieTYME Hairspray and an even dose of BigTYME Root Lift Powder Spray will give you the perfect base to create these rolls. We suggest back brushing (or as some might call it, teasing) with your paddle brush, too. This is to create texture through the shaft of your hair, not just the root, so a few small passes should do the trick. View this post on Instagram Unity braids are my NEW fav hair style for the summer! I literally had no idea that my hair could braid without a hair tie😍 A post shared by Krystal B | Beauty & Lifestyle (@krystaloverall) on Jun 30, 2020 at 3:16pm PDT Start by positioning this section of hair to go towards the back and crown of your head. Think about a 45-degree angle. With your fingers behind the section of hair and your thumb on the outside, rotate the hair backward, creating a “roll”. Without opening it, use a Bobby Pin and press into the roll to secure your hair. This may take a bit of practice, but after a try or two, we know you’ll have it nailed down. Unity Braids Our favorite part of this style? The braids! This is the braiding hack your mom never taught you. ;) Get rid of the painful tiny elastics that always snap in between your fingers and try this out! Start your braid with three distinct and separate strands of hair. As you start braiding, let the bottom pieces intermingle. DO NOT continue to separate them as you braid like usual, just focus on weaving your top sections. The bottom pieces are going to start to braid themselves! Once you get to the middle, you won’t be able to braid anymore. To lock these braids in, loop the bottom half through your open section and tug tight! Voila! A secure braid that took half the time. Told you we’ve always been serious about saving time getting ready.
