Glop & Glam News, Updates & Events

We had such a blast at our 2nd Get Your Glam On event in Newport Beach!  Thanks to all the girls and parents who showed up and learned how to braid their hair with Glop & Glam Founder, Andrea Ridgell.  Take a look at all the amazing pictures from the event and make sure to share them using #GYGO :)

Try leaving a few strands hanging for a softer look & more playful vibe. Don't be overly concerned with getting the fishtail perfect either—the tousled look is what makes it pop!

You can pull off a short hair fishtail and take advantage of all your different layers poking out of the braid for that "roughed-up" super cool vibe

Use Glop & Glam Creamsicle Mist to get hair tangle free then put a little Vanilla Cream throughout the hair before you start the braid.  It will give your hair a little texture + hold + shine -- perfect for the tousled fishtail

Get Anna Sophia's Half-up Short Hair Look

1. blow dry your hair using a diffuser to get your natural texture but with a bit of extra volume.
2. use your fingers to roughly comb G&G Vanilla Cream through the top half of your hair
3. secure in place with a few bobby pins & tug gently at some of the sections in the front
4. let the hair naturally frame your face

Get Arianna's Half-up Long Hair Look by using your favorite brush to smooth back the top into a poinytail. Control fly-aways with G&G's lightweight Glitter Gel.  Take your bangs and twist through some Glitter Gel, pin to the side for the added Glam finish

Want that messy, just rolled out of bed look?  Wash your hair the night before, comb through Creamsicle Mist and put your hair into two french braids or mini ballerina buns (for longer hair) and simply go to sleep!  Wake up the next morning before school, take out the braids/buns and head to school with that perfect messy look! (run a little Glitter Gel through your hair for added texture, style & volume)

Add some funkiness to your hairstyle by braiding back the sides in small, 1-2 inch sections for those shorter cuts - then pin the braids up for a princess crown or a bohemian look.  Get a faux-hawk by pull long hair back super tight in the middle and braiding your wannabe mohawk down the middle for the that height defining style.  Use Vanilla Cream to smooth fly-aways and frizz and use G&G's Chocolate Controller on the longer locks to add shine + hold + smoothness

There has been a lot of news lately about the new 'Super Lice' strain that is resistant to traditional treatments.  Luckily for you, we here at Glop & Glam Hair Products, have been incorporating proven combatants to 'Super Lice' for a while now.  Both Tea Tree oil and Neem oil have been proven 'Super Lice' preventatives and you can find natural & organic versions of both in our Shampoos, Conditioners & Detanglers... helping keep your family (and your household) 'Super Lice' free!

Glop & Glam Hair Products is thrilled to announce the addition of VANILLA STYLING CREAM to its line of Natural and Organic Hair Care Products for toddlers, tweens & teens.  With this launch Glop & Glam continues its tradition of delivering the finest salon quality products to the children's market while helping solve the ever-present challenge of frizz & fly-aways.

Celebrity Hairstylist and Founder of Glop & Glam, Andrea Ridgell (Mishay Salon), developed VANILLA STYLING CREAM with children in mind, but "really wanted to create a lightweight product that was effective for all hair types – from kids to adults" while being "safe for children" said Ridgell.  "Parents don't know what to use on difficult frizz or fly-aways," said Ridgell, "they usually end-up using the wrong products on their kids".

Through several rounds of testing with factories and consumers, Ridgell found the perfect formula – fitting both the brand philosophy of Glop & Glam and the salon quality standards achieved by the entire Glop & Glam Line.

VANILLA STYLING CREAM smooths hair, eliminating frizz & fly-aways without leaving hair feeling "oily" or "weighed down".   VANILLA STYLING CREAM adds moisture and shine making it ideal for blow-drying straight hair.  While providing the perfect amount of hold for buns, braids & ponies VANILLA STYLING CREAM also provides flexible hold for defining and texturizing style.  Just like every product in the Glop & Glam line – this Natural & Organic product is Paraben & Alcohol free + Gluten Free.
