Summer has just done a number on my hair. I decided to stop blow drying and flat ironing my hair for a couple weeks and haven't colored it in about 8 weeks.

Hairspray
April 6, 2009
In my lifetime, I have had a very love-hate relationship with hairspray. Sometimes it is sticky. Sometimes it is crunchy. Sometimes it makes my flat hair flatter. And so on and so forth. I have tried many brands. Pantene. Tresemme. Herbal Essences. Aveda. They were all okay. They all … [Read more...]
Kicking myself for not reading the handbook before now
April 2, 2009
As a mom with straight hair I was at a loss when my daughter's locks started to take on their current shape. By the time she was 2 1/2 years old we were both so frustrated with her curly hair that I considered shaving it all off.
