Comments on: Out with the Old… http://www.legallyheidi.com/2009/01/06/out-with-the-old/ I live, I laugh, I love and I wear a lot of pink Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:36:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Lisa http://www.legallyheidi.com/2009/01/06/out-with-the-old/comment-page-1/#comment-6551 Lisa Wed, 07 Jan 2009 01:05:24 +0000 http://www.legallyheidi.com/?p=1691#comment-6551 I will be honest, the Chi will change the way you do your hair. I have very thick hair, and bought the walmart 26 dollar straightener forever. I finally splurged, and its quicker, better and I have had it for years. Besides, I am a label whore. I love it when my sisters have to call to ask to borrow my chi. I will be honest, the Chi will change the way you do your hair.

Right now I'm using Prive shampoo and conditioner and then put Kerastase Oleo Relax on it right after I comb it. Even if I don't take my time drying my (very wavy) hair, it looks good and once it settles down a little (usually after my hour commute) it's silky smooth. I’m all about the products.

Crap! You just reminded me that I wanted to use my Birthday money to buy a new hairdryer and I didn’t. Crap!

Less than 15 min drying time? My hair takes FOREVER to dry (very thick and long) and I go through hair dryers from time to time because I have them burn out (perhaps overuse, due to the first issue mentioned!) - so I'm always looking for new ideas!

My grandmother is a retired beautician so I have never paid for a hair cut or color my whole life. While she may not be up to date on the most recent hair cutting trends, she tries hard and gets the job done. Not to mention, it's free! But as far as a blowdryer and straightener are concerned, I'm on my own for that one. I use a cheap blodryer, I think it's even a Target brand dryer but it dries super fast and it's light. However, I splurged a little on the straightener because I learned spending that little extra money makes a more quality product. I have a Remington TStudio Nano Silver Slim Straightener ($39.99 @ Target.com) and it works amazingly. I have thick wavy-ish hair that doesn't like to straighten very well sometimes but this one cuts it. And you can set it at whatever temperature you need. Anyway, just my two cents. ;) Keep up the good blogging work! I have to say, I’m one of the lucky and bratty ones when it comes to hair.

i’ve picked up a few tricks along the way though… i have SUPER THICK hair with a bit of a wave to it. sunsilk has this shampoo called “straight to perfection” and while it’s not a super expensive shampoo ( i used to be a serious expensive shampoo fiend) it’s pretty amazing stuff. it won’t make your hair straight, but it sort of relaxes it a bit and i swear, it makes it hold the straight better than anything else i’ve ever tried.

and then there are the products. i’m not big on styling products… when my hair was longer, i swore by root lift, but i’ve stopped using it. two things that i always use though?

biosilk silk therapy. it might seem expensive for like, 5oz… but you only use a TINY bit, so it lasts forever. i don’t care if you have the frizzies or the worst split ends in the world, a tiny dab of this stuff makes them disappear. i just put a dime size dab on my hand, rub my hands together and then run my fingers through my hair. it’s really super amazing. also, if you use it on wet hair and let your hair air dry? you wind up with the most amazing super soft waves in the world.

Lately I've showered at night and slept on my hair wet (this bugs some people like my husband, but I am fine with it) and then I just wake up and straighten my hair in the morning. My hair has been in much better condition because I am using less heat on it. I have should length thick/naturally wavy hair, so I know what you mean about having a good hair dryer and straightener.
