Wavy Hair Without Time!

As a mom, a horse trainer, a riding instructor, and a full-time employee, I am always on the hunt for the perfect combination of styling products that will make my hair look fabulous, smell great, make styling super easy and time-efficient, and not break the bank all at the same time!


Then, I discovered a little pin on Pinterest and decided to make it fit my personal schedule.

What the article on Pinterest said: 

1.       If you haven’t just gotten hair wet in the shower or bath, wet your hair under the faucet.

2.   Use a comb and brush out your hair.

3.       Next apply the moisturizing product.

4.       Apply mousse.

5.   Apply a heat protectant if you plan on blow drying it.

6.   After you apply your products, brush through hair with a comb.

7.    Scrunch lightly

8.       Now you can either let curls air dry or use a diffuser on low speed and heat blow dry till only slightly damp. The diffuser prevents your curls or waves from getting blown around and frizzing. Just tilt your head to the side and place a section of hair into the diffuser. Do not scrunch while diffusing just hold it there.

I prefer to shower at night- there's something incredibly soothing about turning up the water temperature and letting your troubles from the day melt away!  And, I simply DON'T HAVE THE TIME to wash, dry, and primp in the morning.

 Sooooooo...

What I actually ended up doing AND IT SAVES SO MUCH TIME!

The night before...
1. After your shower, towel dry your hair.

2. Apply a couple squirts of Organix Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum to the ends of your hair.

3. Brush through and go to bed.
The next day...

4. In the morning, apply a small amount of Suave Professionals Captivating Curls Whipped Cream Mousse to the ends of your dry hair.  (The Whipped Mousse works wonders and doesn't make the hair sticky or crunchy.  Plus, it smells fresh!)

5. Spray Suave Heat Protectant on your hair making sure to lightly mist all the layers, including underneath.

6. Use a hair dryer (set on HIGH heat and LOW speed) with a diffuser to quickly dry the mousse and heat protectant on the ends of your hair.  Don't over-dry!  It takes all of one minute to get this style.

If you want to top with a light hair spray, use something with a flexible hold.  I use Dove Damage Therapy Extra Hold because it allows my hair to move and doesn't weigh it down.

Speaking of weighing down, I believe great hair starts in the shower and sometimes the shampoo/ conditioner combination can make or break the style.  Right now I am swearing by Tresseme Deep Cleansing Shampoo and Nexus Humectress Ultimate Moisture Conditioner (only in the ends though and never close to the scalp).

Now I have time to get a cup of coffee and browse the internet for more cute styling tips before work in the mornings!

Happy styling!
