How I’m Styling My Hair Right Now
Even celeb hairstylist Sarah Potempa “liked” my waves on instagram…gasp! |
Have you ever had a blowout at a drybar locale? If not, you’re missing out, girlfriends. My first one was during fashion week at the Le Park Meridien location in NY and it was so swank. I’ve never had a better time relaxing! And the great thing is the stylists get you in and out of there in an allotted time so you don’t have to be stuck in the salon forever (hate that). I also visited the uptown location in Dallas this past fall and was just as impressed. Which brings me to one of drybar’s newest products I adore lately: Texas Tea Voluminizing Hair Spray ($23). Keep in mind, I usually hate hair spray, but this one is great. I was sent a sample to try and it’s got a great way of holding my waves (and especially my bangs!) that I don’t have to worry at all about a sticky mess or anything horrid like that. I usually spray it in the middle of the day for a quick pick-me-up.
So now, drumroll, please. Dry shampoo. Everyone’s using it, and for good reason. It works! But not all dry shampoos are created equal, gal pals. drybar’s Detox ($20) is really good and doesn’t leave your hair too limp or oily – it makes it feel fresh and clean, which is what we’re going for, yes? Being a new mom, I don’t think I could live without dry shampoo, honestly. It extends my hair several extra days, which is major. The only con to this product is the strong scent…be sure you spray a little and then step out of the room for a minute. It’s quite powerful! Pro? There’s also a brunette version, which can be a hard thing to find for some of you girlies.
So my routine?
Wash + argan mist + sleep + comb lightly + hair spray + dry shampoo = voila!
Gosh, I could use one of those blowouts right about now…if only one was closer to me! Already penciling in my next fashion week drybar appointment…
