As the other girls can attest, I've been having major meltdowns about my hair. The last time I had it dyed I made the mistake of washing/ combing my hair that morning. Anyone who has ever bleached their hair will know that leads to a pretty excruciating appointment. I didn't realize until days after the full extent of that mistake. My hair was over-processed and the ends were bent in all different directions just to show me how terrible of a person I am. My hair has never been so damaged. 

   
     Hello ladies & gents! As the title clearly indicates, today I'll be sharing what I use to take care of my hurrrr. Just as a reference, my hair is quite fine - so it tends to get flat and oily quickly. However, I like more voluminous and textured locks. Think bedhead. I typically just wash my hair at night and brush through it (using a Goody TangleFix), and then leave it to dry overnight. This way, I avoid excessive heat use by skipping blow-drying and have a little bit of body when I wake up. Anyhow, if you're at all interested in what I use to "tame the mane" as they say, read on.

THE STANDARDS

John Frieda Full Repair Shampoo & Conditioner Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Refreshing Dry Shampoo

      As previously mentioned my hair tends to be flat, lifeless, pancake-esque - or any variation of those words you can conceive. Thus, it probably doesn't make much sense that I'd be using a a damage-correcting shampoo and conditioner regime. I still do use a curling wand and/or flat iron slightly more than occasionally. Plus, since I feel compelled to wash on a regular basis I shy away from anything that is going to dehydrate my hair. However, I think John Frieda's version is quite different from other brands' lines. It is branded as a "full body" duo that won't weigh your hair down.  The best part is that this combo actually delivers on it's promise. I've noticed it's much easier to comb through my hair and these leave it looking shiny and healthy. Even better, I've never once felt that horrendous heavy feeling. Now, if you have drier or coarser hair I think you may want to opt for something more heavy duty. Though for you fine-haired ladies who color or heat style - this line may be for you.

     Even though I do wash regularly, I try to avoid doing so every day. First of all, my shampoo and conditioner magically poof away after about 3 weeks. I've also never quite understood "second day hair" in all its glory because I look more like a hobo than a tousled-haired goddess, but whatever. To hold me over on the in between days, I turn to the Clean Freak dry shampoo. Thus far it's the best I've tried in terms of both scent and functionality. As a bonus, it does actually add volume and grit which is perfect for achieving that bedhead aesthetic.

THE SAVERS

Organix Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Weightless Healing Dry Oil Not Your Mother's Beat the Heat Thermal Shield Spray Palmer's Coconut Oil Formula Replenishing Hair Milk Catwalk by TIGI Oatmeal & Honey Conditioner

     Alrighty, so these are all my saviors when it come to my hair. Tangles come with the territory of fine hair, so I'm always on the lookout for something that will remedy this. This Organix oil scared me a bit at first, because I didn't want to add anything heavy to my already weighed-down hair. In spite of said fear, this is A+ as a detangler that doubles as a treatment. I've found it to be much more effective than my Suave Kids option I'd used in the past. It smells fantastic, and the spray delivers a fine mist (I apply to damp hair) that doesn't lead to any stringy strands.

Aussie Sprunch Flexible Hold Hairspray Organix Moroccan SurfPaste

     Though I do like volume and texture, I'm not looking to achieve anything crunchy or stringy. Keeping this in mind, I almost always go for a light or flexible hold hairspray so I have both hold and movement. Aussie's Catch the Wave Sprunch hairspray fits the bill perfectly. The aerosol can gives a fine, even mist but still allows me to run my fingers through my hair. Oh, and guess what? It smells good.

Hello! So I'm sure maybe some of you have seen the infomercial for Hot Buns on TV. I was at CVS the other day and it was only 25% off of $9.99. So I decided to just go ahead and try it out because I usually rock a messy bun anyways. 

Hello sweeties! so this is just a quick little update of hair products that i'm not only in love with, but I use on the regular!


1. Hair Spray: Paul Mitchell's Hold Me Tight Spray — Even though it's a tight hold, it feels super light weight and i'm obsessed.
2. Heat Protectant: Not Your Mother's Beat the Heat — For obvious reasons, not to mention it smells AMAZING
3. Anti-Fade for Colored Hair: Pureology's Anti-Fade Complex — I have color treated hair so I use this to kinda help it from fading! 
4. Not Your Mother's Texturizing Hair Cream and Spray — Smells amazing, helps my hair keep wave, and super light weight. not pictured

     There have been a lot of changes in May; the major one including my hair! I had about 8 inches cut off (donated to Locks of Love, of course) and I had it lightened...a lot. With that being said, my first May favorite is a hair product.
