My husband bought me a blow dryer for Christmas. I know you might be thinking I should be mad at him for such a practical and unromantic gift. Let me assure you, I am not. My quest for the perfect hair dryer has gone on so long that I was actually thrilled with his efforts. Let me pause here … [Read more...]
i swear by my: MoroccanOil Styling Cream
January 7, 2011
I never buy products at the salon. But the last time I got my hair cut, the stylist recommended MoroccanOil and I passed... I had already spent so much on my new cut, I didn't want to add to the bill. But several days later, I was back at the salon begging for the amazing product he had used on my … [Read more...]
Product Review: TRESemmé Fresh Start Waterless Foam Shampoo
December 9, 2010
I try to work out regularly, but let's be honest. Sometimes it just doesn't happen. Some weeks I exercise every day, and some weeks I can't muster the energy to do a single crunch. But those weeks that I do exercise a lot, it's always a pain to wash, blow-dry, and straighten my hair daily - not … [Read more...]

I have two daughters with blond hair, and between the sun and the chlorine, the summer always wrecks havoc on their delicate tresses.

Headbands for the Headband-Challenged
July 22, 2010
I like the idea of wearing a headband. They can be really cute and trendy and an easy way to dress up a hairdo. (Or glam up an otherwise, you know, bad hair day.) I mean, how gorgeous are these?! Target also has some really darling ones, several currently in their jewelry department. … [Read more...]

In this case, you can get a free Nexxus Shampoo (retails for $8.99), Conditioner (retails for $13.99), and Deep Conditioner (retails … [Read more...]
Goody Spin Pins
July 19, 2010
A few weeks ago, at Target, I found the craziest-looking hair product: the Goody Spin Pin. What is it? Basically, the two spin pins take the job of a dozen bobby pins in securing a bun. Because of the spiraled shape, they grab onto all kinds of layers of hair and help hold the bun in place … [Read more...]
Summer Hair Help Needed
July 14, 2010
When you live in Georgia, summer vacation is spent at the swimming pool. Honestly, it's just too darn hot to do anything else. When you live in Georgia and have a daughter on swim team, you tend to spend even more time at the swimming pool. Swim practice is three days a week, plus swim … [Read more...]
