How to not do your hair

Good evening!

A little blog keeping before I get into my tutorial… 

Thank you guys so much for sharing your running stories on this mornings post.  Y’all are so inspiring I can’t stand it!  It made my day to read each and every one of them. 

Also I finally figured out how to add a reply button to each comment so now we can actually have a conversation.  Wahoo!

Because no one asked, I thought I’d do a little tutorial on how to not do your hair.  Believe it or not, rocking messy/beachy/homeless hair is totally in.  At least that’s what I tell myself.

I have a lot of cowlicks that are really difficult to work with, plus I really don’t like spending time & effort doing my hair.  Instead of fighting it, I learned to embrace it, and let me tell you it feels so good.

I start by washing my hair every night.  I would love to be able to get away with washing it every other day, but I have very oily skin so that doesn’t work.  Also I love going to bed with wet hair.  I’m kinda weird like that.

On the occasion I skip washing my hair, which is usually right after I get it highlighted, hello free hair do(!) I use FreshStart dry shampoo by Tresemme.

I brush it out and run a little Organix Macadamia Dry Oil through hair from the ears down.  I only use about the size of a quarter, it doesn’t take much.

Then I put it in a bun and go to bed.  I usually watch a movie or hang out on Instagram in bed for a bit, and don’t like cold, wet hair on my back, so I take it down before I go to sleep.

I put my hair up in a bun in the morning and it stays that way until after I run and shower.

After I do my make up and get dressed, I take my hair down and gently run my fingers through it to loosen it up a bit.

Then I spray it with Herbal Essence Tousle Me Softly hairspray while scrunching it.

And rock homeless hair all day.  Coffee is not optional.

Tips:

• I’ve tried the expensive dry oil (Enjoy) and think they both work the same, plus I’m cheap.
• You can find the dry oil at any drug store.  I picked up this bottle at Target for about $7 and it will last me about 5 or 6 months.  I’m sure there are other brands out there too.
• The oil is key.  It calms down the frizz and leaves hair semi-shiny in a good way.
• Don’t brush or comb hair when dry.

Do you rock homeless hair?

99.99999% of my life.

Expensive products or cheap?

Cheap, unless it’s Bed Head and S Factor.  I love their whole line.

What is a hair product or tool you swear by?

Dry hair oil.

What’s your shortcut when you don’t want to do your hair?

This or a high bun with a cute BIC Band.
