A Hair-story

This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for entering!

Hooray! It's (almost) the weekend! I've got a bridal shower for my BFF tomorrow and Sunday we are supposed to take engagement pictures (the forecast isn't looking to good, so we might push them back a week).

Lately I've gotten a couple of comments about my hair so I thought I'd do a little post about it.

Curly 3-year-old Cole

I've got naturally curly hair and until earlier this year I have never found anyone with similar hair. I used to hate it, I'd offer to shave my head and give my hair to someone if they said they wished theirs was curly, but now I really love my hair.

My hair is fine but I have a lot of it. It turns into what I call "porcelain doll" curls (Barrel curls) with the littlest amount of product but will loose it's curl as soon as I run my hands through it.

4 times out of 5 I'll wear my hair curly but I like to straighten it whenever I feel like dressing up (or when I'm feeling too lazy to shower-lame, I know). Jus also really likes it straight, he says it frames my face better.

Crazy hair

These are the hair products in our bathroom.

I try to switch shampoos every bottle since my hair tends to get used to a product and stops responding to it.

When I straighten my hair I use Garnier Sleek & Shine smoothing milk. I just got a Baybliss straightening iron, it's so important to have a good iron! A ceramic straightener that has consistent heat so you don't fry your hair keeps it healthy.

Straight hair, silly face, polka dot pajamas

For curly hair I've used ghd's Sea Spray for the past 3 years, I love sprays because they are so light and don't weigh down my curls, and this spray gives you that sexy beach hair. (I LOVE beach hair!)

Lately my hair hasn't been loving the Sea Spray so I've switched to Fekkai's glossing cream which gives my hair lots of moisture and shines up my curls. Mostly, I just try to keep the product light so my curls won't get weighed down.

Weirdly loose curls are common

I also get my hair trimmed every 6 weeks to keep the curls in check, my hair has tons of long layers to ensure that the top doesn't get too weighed down.

So there you go, that's the deal on my hair, it's taken me years to get it right and I feel pretty happy with where my hair is now.

Sure, there are days where it looks pretty bad, but those are the days I throw something beautiful in my hair. Something beautiful like one of lovely pieces in Plume Delight's etsy shop.
