Tip No. 8: Get sexy hair fast For a natural, sexy look when you're pressed for time, Ted Gibson of Ted Gibson Salon recommends going for an easy tousled style. First, spritz a texturizing spray into damp hair (we like Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Wild Ginger Texturizing Sea Spray, $17.95). Then, "twist your hair into a bun [and let it sit while you] do your makeup and finish getting ready. Blow dry the bun for a few minutes, then release it and finger comb, setting with a light-hold hairspray." Try Bumble and bumble Spray de Mode, $14. You'll be left with sexy, easy waves.

The nail strips are actually quite fabulous, i'm, surprised by how many people on here are so negative about them. Amazing time saver and they really DO last for 10 days.
