Two things I love BIG BIG hair and inexpensive hair products. I finally met my match with Got 2 B Double Shot. I applied this before blow drying and BAM I had humongous hair that was easy to manipulate and tease or whatever tickles my fancy. Try it, ladies!!
I hate hairspray. But living in the great humidity of Houston, Texas I have learned that in order to hold any bit of a style for more than 5 minutes I have to use a quick spritz of spray or else. I have found a hairspray that is light, smells fruity (which I LOVE) and stays true to it’s word of being anti- humidity. Test it out, you won’t be sorry.
After I’m pretty much done fixing my hair I have in the past used Redken Water Wax to tame some fly aways and get my bangs to move in a direction that doesn’t look like ass. I also liked using it on the ends of my hair to just get a little polish. But I’m here today to tell you that I am a convert. I’ve converted from Redken Water Wax straight into the arms of Jonathan Dirt.
Do you know Jonathan Antin? I used to watch his show Blow Out on Bravo a few years back and I specifically remember when he was creating his hair line while they were filming. On one specific episode he was trying to have them formulate “Dirt” per his standards and apparently at that point they had not and he ended up throwing the product across the room and threw a little hissy fit.
So anyway, now years later I have purchased the “up to Jonathan Antin’s standards” Dirt and I LOVE IT. It’s not sticky like Water Wax, it’s smooth and silky and yet it controls fly-aways and perfectly separated my bangs in a way that doesn’t look like ass. So I would definitely suggest if you are a WAX person you might want be a DIRT person. Let me know if you agree!
I was introduced to this product on my last salon trip, and I’m HOOKED! Matrix Amplify Root Lifter gives my hair body for days, and days, and days…seriously, I still have full, thick, hair even on my “non hair wash” days.
This product is a must have in my book…
I have found the holy grail of secrets to luscious, shiny hair that lasts 6- 8 weeks. It is Paul Mitchell’s PM Shines. PM Shines are developed with an intense hydrating complex (IHC) that soaks deep into the hair shaft to add intense hydration and help replenish amino acids lost during the coloring process. They are applied like an all over hair color and shampooed out in about 20 mins. You can choose from clear or one of 32 intermixable colors. Your hair will never have been more shiny and manageable, I promise.
Here’s the key to my secret: I head over to my local Paul Mitchell School (see other national locations here) in Houston and pay a measly $25 for a colored shine and it’s $8 for the clear one. I mean, look at all that shine right there. It’s almost blinding, isnt it? I kid. But it is really super shiny. And though you may hesitate about a “student” working on your hair, I assure you there is seriously no way to mess this up. It’s worked in like a box color or like a shampoo… it’s in no way some sort of rocket science. So, there we have it. My cat’s out of the bag. Go forth and seek shiny, beautiful hair ladies, for cheap.
A good friend of mine and I were chatting the other day, and she mentioned that she had been undergoing laser hair removal. She said she LOVES it, but that it was expensive and that it was a fairly painful process.
I am 100% interested in having this done. So, I want to know if anyone else has done this, and, if so, what was your experience like?
I have mentioned before that I have fine, thin hair. That being said, my sister recently introduced me to my new best friend, the Spornette Little Wonder Teasing Brush. This is little wonder gives me tons and tons of volume. I’m talking Snooki levels, no bump-it required. I use it with hair spray when I need more height, and without when I just want a little boost.
Suave Professionals Dry Shampoo is a new product and looked interesting, so I bought it. I tried it on my grease ball second day hair and ran screaming into my guest room to tell Melis: IT WORKS! IT SMELLS GREAT (much much better than Treseme)! IT’S $3! We had thought it was too good to be true, but no. And you would think I would have more cool things going on than to be super pumped about a hair product, but also no.
I got this new contraption and I have to tell the blog world about it. It’s a large barreled wave iron by Revlon and I love it. I got it from my local Target and barely contained myself long enough to rip open the packaging and test it out. I ran it very quickly through my hair within 5 minutes and this was the result.
Perfect beachy waves for summer. I am positive if I take more time and accuracy I could produce some more clean and perfect waves too. Run, do not walk and get yourself one too!
I definitely wouldn’t mind any of these showing up in my stocking this year!!
