dreamWEAVES

How is it that my little sister was blessed with a gorgeous head full of hair while I'm probably an ideal candidate for a weave and/or a wig?

We taken obvious cues from Brit Brit that when you're hair sucks, it pretty much sucks all the time.  To prevent from being too much like Ms. Kentwood, I do my best to stay out of the hair-from-hell arena.  With fine and limp hair, its almost impossible to have a good hair day.  

Below is a day in the life of my hair:  

Shower: L'Oreal's EverPure Sulfate-Free Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner.  This pair is in the mix with Clairol's Shimmer Lights Toning Shampoo (to tone my highlighted hair) and Redken's Extreme Conditioner (used 2/week because too much keratin is BAD)

Since my hair is color treated yet I have a super sensitive scalp, I have to wash my hair every day; if I don't wash my hair on the daily, I get a super itchy scalp and its gross.  I try to use sulfate-free products to prevent build-up and avoid additives which are harmful.   Keratin from the Redken conditioner gives my mane a little extra something; be warned that too much keratin can turn hair strands into dry spaghetti noodles that will break.

Styling:  Comb through with a wide tooth comb then apply MoroccanOil's Treatment Light (ideal for fine and color-treated tresses) on wet/damp hair is step one.  Smoothing and a super shine boost, this stuff smells like a Caribbean vacation.  Redken Guts at the roots and rubbed in for volume, then I blow dry using a big round brush to style for max awesome.  Once teased and coiffed, Big Sexy Hair Spray & Play to keep everything in place.

I have also learned that I can't have hair below my shoulders.  Like stepping into a land mine, once the hair hits no man's land, my 'do looks even stringier and gross.  Ideally, a bob is manageable and doesn't look completely desperate on my head, and let me note that celebs should do the same to avoid my hair cautionary tale.

Famous peeps with fine hair are like unicorns to me-- I think their hair staff follow them around spraying around the clock to keep shit in check.

I have tried texturizers, gel, amplifiers.... you name it.  Nothing really works.  So I have come to terms with never having hair like Cher and hopefully, NEVER Britney.
