I may or may not have mentioned before but this year for spring break, Kyle and I went with another couple down to the Gulf. Of course, I overpacked as usual but I did forget some very important products that I use daily. Somehow, I forgot to pack my two hair products after I used them, right before we left. Since we were going to the beach I decided that I would wait a couple of days and see how my hair does without the products. Kinda give my hair a break, ya know?
The first day it looked pretty horrific, mostly because it was so windy at the beach. While getting ready for dinner that night, I decided that I would leave a little bit of my conditioner in my hair in an attempt to help smooth it out. (The conditioner I use right now is Tresemme, Pro-Vitamin b5 & Aloe Remoisturize Conditioner.) It was okay with me if my hair had that kind of beach wave, touseled look, since it was true to my day.
My hair actually managed to dry frizz-less! The curls from the shortest layer of my hair seemed to tighten themselves, leaving them spirally and springy (if those words are real words). The longest layers did not curl as much, and I think that if I continue to do this I would want to take a curling iron to them, if only to better direction the curls. My hair was super soft and felt fluffy, without that frizzy, fluffy look. The other thing that I learned was to make sure the conditioner close to your scalp gets rinsed or it will dry and get flaky. My solution so far has been to condition my hair like normal, turn off the water, and apply a small amount to the ends of my hair. Then I wrap it in a towel while I get dressed.
I'm so excited about this, I can hardly stand it. I will definitely be defaulting to this on a daily basis, unless I have an important presentation or event to get ready for. Hair products can get expensive and I would love to cut that expense in half. I'll update if something horrible goes wrong.
and for the bride...
