Bad Hair day challenge!
I mean look at me. Oye, not even as bad as it can get. Yes, in the '80's I did HAVE A MULLET. If I ever figure out how to scan photos I will show you it. Business in the front, party in the back! I have hair like a dog. Thick, wavy, frizzy if not blown dried by a pro. I got my dad's hair. Who, even in his last hours of life, had lovely hair. Thining, but still covering his head. Thick hair is beautiful, but can take more work.
Mom's need a back to school perk. We have to look sort of "not awful" at drop off, right? So here is a little contest.
I have been hopeless with my hair for years… hence the aforementioned mullet. If I have work or an event I want to look good for, I go to a cheapie salon and get a blow out. Now, Nancy O'Dell of Access Hollywood fame emailed me and asked me if I would like to review the Rusk products. Nancy was a guest on Momversation, so you know we are like this (fingers interlocking through the web). I don't do reviews in general, but hey why not? I asked if we could do a giveway for the cool mom viewers and they said yes, but first to try out the products. So I got this deep shine oil and their w8less blowdryer. I put the oil on after I washed my hair and then blow dried it and for the first time ever didn't get the fly away freeze I normally do. Now, I still can't blow dry it as well as the Armenian lady at Fantastic Sam's, but it looked much better and I didn't have throw it up into a pony tail in shame like normal. The oil is Argan oil, which I have also been using on my face. Josie Maran was on Fashion Team and gave me her Argan oil for my face and I really like it. Almost as good as humid weather for the skin. Here is a pic of me at my friend's wedding after I did my hair myself. (By the way, I'm rather proud of what I'm wearing. It's a dress of my mom's from the '60's. The belt was lost so I updated it with a modern belt. Mark wore a shirt of my dad's. Sweet).
So here's the deal: We could all use a little hair makeover. Simply leave a comment here with your name and you will be entered for the chance to win the same Rusk products they sent me! One winner will be chosen randomly. Click here for official terms & conditions.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, no. I didn't get sent any make up… that will have to be another challenge.
Sweet! I need a good dryer.
Love Nancy Odell. Love you too!
(On a side note, just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you and keeping you in my prayers.)
Gee, your hair looks terrific! I would love to try these… I hope I win - YAY! HappyHourMom
I have your hair, except I'm a brunette. It's so frizzy if I wash and dry it myself in the same day. So what I try to do it wash it at night, and in the morning it's wavy, and not frizzy. Then I either flatten it or curl it. And sometimes I go au natural.
Yeah, thick hair can be lovely but it's a pain in the you know what.
I have very thick hair. Every time I get my haircut the person shampooing me comments on it. I would love to try something new
I have dog hair too!! Thick, wavy, bouffy and what my sister and I like to refer to as "woolly". (She has the same hair as I do).
And yes we both got it from our Dad. We just love to thank him for the hair genes!
You look like you're having such a good time at that wedding. And your hair looks great!
I used to have crazy thick Hawaiian hair, but after my daughter was born it started falling out in clumps. C'est tragique!
I have beaten my hair into submission, but my 18 year old daughter is still trying to annihilate her unruly locks. Her first complete sentence at just 1 1/2 yrs was "DON'T COMB ME!" Her ringlets tangled so easily. She currently pulls her hair back into such a tight pony tail that she is going to make her eyebrows meet in back. Yes, I do exaggerate, thanks! I hope I win this for her, so that she may have hope of tamed hair in her future.
My 8 year old niece is having a total hair crisis! She's got curly, coarse hair and a stay at home dad who, bless him, tries his hardest to send her to school with decent hair. They both need some assistance!!!
My hair needs some help! With a newborn, I'm not even pretending to take the time to do it. But, if I won this…well, then, I'll have to let you know. Maybe I'd be inspired!
