As I've said before girly stuff isn't my forte. You can't really get away from hair though, not unless you shave it off. My hair's somewhere between curly and wavy, I guess, curls varying with hair length and weather.
Turns out it looks better if I don't comb it at all when I get out of the shower. That's just fucking crazy to me. For as long as I've skipped using conditioner, it seems to be the key to everything.
I still need a better cut, but I'm not quite sure how to explain what I want yet. Also some additional frizz control would be good. But it's coming along... I might figure my hair out yet.
A year ago on TTaT: Day of Reckoning
It took me until a couple years ago to realize that I was washing my hair WAY too much, so now I only actually use shampoo like once or twice a week, but condition every time I take a shower. Sounds gross, but it's all about the conditioner.
ReplyDeleteCurly hair is high-maintenance.
I have to mess with my hair quite a bit to get my waves to stay put -- I like Aveda products. They have a conditioner that is light enough to moisturize but not so heavy it ruins your ability to style. . . Check it out! (It used to be Sap Moss, but they discontinued that and I hear the replacement is better. Still have to try that.)
ReplyDeletejenny: So true! Not even combing sounds low maintenance but if I over-dry it just a little, it's a total frizzy mess.
ReplyDeleteI cut back to shampooing every other day some years ago, but have only recently gotten on board with conditioner. Don't use it on my off-shampoo days though... I'll have to try that. And maybe see if I can stand another day between shampoos. I used to be so OCD about washing my hair every day that this is all great progress for me.
voix: Thanks for the suggestion. If I go the condition every day route, I am going to need something light.
