How I Tame This Mane

Last month during my Q and A, I received quite a few questions about what hair products I use & how I tame my unruly mop (my words, not theirs. but let's call a spade a spade.) Well friends, here you go. First I'll show you a few pics of my hair & what products I use, followed by a quick awkward video of how I curl my hair (with a flat iron. yep.) And by awkward, I mean awkward. Perhaps a smidgen scary seeings how I accidently erased my first video & had to reshoot it at 9pm, therefore I had already taken my makeup off. Magoo. (Note to self...buy tanning package.)

So, first things first. What I wash my hair with.

Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly. Cheap, smells good, and it leaves my hair super soft. And since I have a crazy amount of thick hair, I only wash my hair max three times a week.

Now, if I'm just going to let my natural curl flag fly...

I just spray in Garnier Fructis Wonder Waves and either air dry or use a diffuser.

But if I'm straightening or curling my hair, I apply Tresemme Heat Protectant Spray all over. LOVE this product. And it leaves me feeling less guilty about singeing my hair.

Then using a round soft brush, go to town with the blow dryer. The aftermath? Animal kingdom.

Enter Chi. Thank the Lord for Chi.

I do my hair by layers. Bottom first, then middle, then crown & bangs. And below is a video of how I get my curls with my Chi.

 After all the curling is done, I break the cardinal rule of curls & brush them. Yes, brush them. Believe me when I say it will not break your curls, it'll give them a softer look. Set with hairspray & voila! Curls with a flat iron...whodathunkit?
