If you haven't seen the show yet, VH1's Hit the Floor is a television series that follows Ahsha Hayes (Taylour Paige) who joins the NBA cheerleading/dance team called the Los Angeles Devil Girls. Trust us, it's addictive! Check out three of our favorite looks and the secrets to their creation below:
For Taylour Paige- "Asha Hayes" Devil Girl:
To keep Taylour Paige's hair looking shiny IT&LY's Riflessi Color Conditioner in Black with an added touch of Mahogany gives her hair color some depth and refreshing when needed.
Paula's Styling Tips:
On damp hair apply IT&LY's Purity Pure Fluid Experience ($14) with some Pure Water Drops working it through the hair. Next, blow dry in sections with a big round brush for some bend. To achieve the loose curls, spray some Pure Volumizing Eco Spray ($13) and using a 1 ¼" wand iron, curl sections. Brush out the hair when done re-applying a small amount of Pure Water Drops ($29) to the ends and spray with Purity Pure Volumizing Eco Spray to finish.
For Logan Browning- "Jelena Howard" Devil Girl:
Logan loves IT&LY's ACP Chelating Shampoo ($11) to keep her hair from getting product build up due to the constant styling. It is a gentle yet thorough chelating shampoo that removes build up but does not dry out her hair. For added conditioning and hydration, IT&LY's Plusonda treatment keeps her hair looking shiny and healthy.
Paula's Styling:
On damp hair apply IT&LY's Thermoflat ($12) with a few drops of the Pure Water Drops work it into the hair. For styling her hair a large round brush is used to blow dry the hair completely straight. Next, apply a bit of Pure Definition Paste ($15) to the mid-shaft and endsthen taking sections to flat iron. When Logan's hair is finished, apply a few drops of the brand's Pure Water Drops to the ends and finish off with Pure Definition Hair Spray ($23).
If a curly or wavy look is needed, after blow drying, use a 1 1/4 wand curling iron taking sections that have been sprayed with the Pure Volumizing Eco and curl sections. Apply a few drops of Pure Water Drops to the ends and finish off with Pure Definition Spray.
For Taylor Ackerman (red head) "Mary Beth"
Pasquale's Color Formula:
Using IT&LY's Aquar&ly Color ($5), Pasquale achieved this camera ready beautiful copper color for Taylor. Mix 3 parts 8R (Light Copper Blonde) with 1 part 7RR (Copper Red Med Blonde) with 20 volume peroxide. Apply to the roots and leave on for 15 minutes, spray thelengths with IT&LY's Equalizer to ensure even processing. Apply remaining color to the rest of the hair and gently massage into the hair for even coverage and allow to process for more minutes. After processing, shampoo with ACP Chelating Shampoo ($14) and apply IT&LY's Plusonda treatment to hair, rinse hair and style.
Paula's Styling:
To achieve Taylor's casual beachy wave, on damp hair Paula applies a few Purity Pure Water Drops mixed in with IT&LY's Thermoflat working it into her damp hair. Next, spray some IT&LY Pure Texture into the root area for added lift. When drying thehair, dry upside down with a diffuser, scrunching sections of hair to get a bit of bend to it. When hair is dry part hair to an off center part and taking chunk sections, spray each section from mid shaft to ends with a bit of IT&LY's Pure Texture then use a large barrel curling iron to getthe beachy wave look. Work fingers through the hair to loosen curls and apply a few more drops of Pure Water Drops. To finish, spray lightly with Pure Definition Hair Spray.
