C’mon! You can make those foam slippers work for you if you BROUGHT IT!

Just kidding. I’ve actually show up at Nordstrom several times without any makeup at all. Now that was scary.

Us curly/wavy haired ladies definitely have our work cut out for us! I always like to ask what products curlies use because there seems to be no one set method to controlling the curl madness.

I very rarely heat style, too. Part of it is laziness, part of it is that daily blow-drying really damages my hair. I still like a nice blowout here and there, but I don’t do it every day like I used to!

I am pretty lucky in that my curly hair is fine in texture and really only gets frizzy and flyaway when it’s humid…unfortunately it’s humid around here from spring to fall…frizz fighting products tend to weigh it down. I typically can’t use pomades or serums, because it just ends up greasy and flat. Recently I have been using Garnier Fructis Curl and Shine cream which works really well at keeping away the frizzies away without weighing it down…the only thing is I have to be careful not to get it on the back of my neck too much because then it breaks out the back of my neck…what we do for beauty right? :-)I also use biolage gel - but primarily on the front because I can’t stand for my hair to be in face throughout the day. I also use Paul Mitchell Hairspray. I wash my hair every day and condition it every day with moisturizing shampoo and conditioner - the brand varies. Once a week I use a clarifying shampoo and then a conditioning mask that I leave on for like two minutes. The other thing to say is that being that I have short hair I very very rarely heat style. I wash it, condition it, use a hairpick to get the tangles out, a comb to part it, then I put in product and go. So I don’t really get the same damage that a lot of curly girls get. Wow…and I thought my hair was so simple… but that was a lot of writing for a simple routine.

I don’t know if I can walk around Nordie’s with yellow foam slippers. I’m sending you a pic via email just to show you how crazy it would have been.

Boo.. I hate having to return stuff after all the excitement I build up waiting for the darn mail to come in the first place!

OMG…I’ll have to do a post then on her, ASAP.

Question for ya - what products do you use on your curly hair?
