Maintenance: Hair Style

Is it at all possible to love your hair all the time? Mine is crazy thick, but fine too, so the body is all out of whack. It likes to pouf & frizz. I have to deep-condition it weekly to keep it from being so brittle it just breaks off.
Doing something with it is a battle most mornings. I try not to use too much heat, letting it air-dry. But achieving stick-straight is basically a pipe dream.

Most of the time, I wish I could get away with loose bedhead like this.


But then again, I love to be styled, with my hair away from my face. Lately, I've been tucking it up into a twisted bun along the base of my skull, with loose bangs. It stays off my neck, but it is fancier than just a ponytail. The top knot still gets a weird eye because I live in Idaho & we're about 10 years behind the rest of the fashion world.



Mostly, I wish I could find this perfect inbetween every day.

Or something timeless. What do you do to keep your mane in check?

Made me laugh when you said that about ID being 10 years behind--funny, but true! :) My hair is naturally wavy (but not the pretty kind of wavy), so I've found that showering at night, braiding it when wet, sleeping on it, and then adding some ringlets to it in the morning gives it a prettier wave/bedhead look than I naturally get. Best of luck to you! Isn't it funny how much time we (girls) devote to thinking about our hair? :)

I have hair troubles too!! Getting a haircut every 6 to 8 weeks keeps my frizzy unmanagable, hair in somewhat control, as does keeping it a darker color. I also use wen products (yes, the ones on the late night TV commericals) and I love them. I credit them for making my hair behave. I use the shampoo (which isnt really shampoo- it does not lather) and the styling gel.

My wife has the ongoing frizz problem. Me I just let mine flow wild & free.

Yay! I'm glad I'm not the only one that ponders the mop on top often!!!
