With extra poof

Recently I got an obnoxious haircut. I went to the same person and asked for the same cut I always get, but something went wrong, and I’ve been trying to salvage it ever since. Which is no good because I have no idea what I’m doing and the Giraffe keeps randomly finding me in the bathroom hacking away at my hair. Nothing drastic, but I may be making the situation worse instead of better. Actually I had him help me once, and despite his apprehension, he did a better job than me.*

But my bad haircut is not the point. That’s just a complainy sidenote. After sharing my discovery of Redken Body Full shampoo and conditioner, several of you asked to see the effect it has had on my hair. First, let’s remember what the problem was:

Flat. Staticky. Volumeless. Lifeless.

Now let’s look at my hair since Redken:

Much better right?

And while we’re talking about hair, I thought I’d also show you why my flat iron is my best friend.

Before and After the flat iron. Granted, the first is after blow drying with little effort to make it straight. But even when I try, it comes out as a big fro. Imagine trying to tame that beast for two weeks in Ireland with no functioning flat iron. Yeah.

*Before you lecture me, yes I know I should just go back and ask her to fix it. But have I mentioned that I’m lazy?

    Sexy hair! Though I’m a little disappointed that we didn’t get any pictures of the bad haircut; we’d like to have a whack at ALL of your pride, thank you.

    Wow! That Redken stuff really does wonders! Amazing.

    I doubt I’d go back either. I’m that kind of lazy as well. But I think it looks good in those last pictures…that stuff works really well with your hair.

    I actually like the before-the-straightener pic at the end! I do pretty much nothing to maintain my fro, so I appreciate the somewhat-untamed curly hair of others. :)

    kudos for finding an awesome shampoo. you were way more productive than i was! I threw mine back & called it a day!

    your hair looks amazing! good hair products make a difference, including a nice hair dryer. that has been KEY for me.

    i like your curly hair. i think you should spray a little salt water on it and dry it scrunch-like. you might really love it.

    I think your hair looks super cute. Maybe I need to start using some product? The problem is I never know what is good!

    For the record, I’m jealous of your before flat iron hair. Have you ever used picnik to edit photos? It’s built right into flickr (the edit button) and can crop your pics so you don’t have to hide your pretty friends behind circles.
