Volume In A Bottle

With this short hair comes some hair-do difficulty. Sometimes getting volume is a little hard because between blow-drying and straightening, my thick hair tends to fall flat. That was until, I came upon Loreal Everstyle Volume spray.

Let me preface this by saying that I don't really like hair products. I rarely ever use anything out of the ordinary besides shampoo and conditioner and the occasional hairspray. I'm not very adventurous when it comes to hair products. I feel like usually you just end up with very greasy hair by the time you go to bed anyway.

Back to the volume problem.

Or should I say, volume problem no more.

I LOVE Loreal EverStyle Volume Root Lifting Spray.

You spray like 3 or 4 puffs onto your wet-ish roots and blow dry. AKA I flip my head over dry for about 5 or 10 minutes and flip back up, red face and all. This stuff works WONDERS. I would be curious to know if this would have worked on my old long long long hair, but it works GREAT for my new do!

I have NO volume problem anymore, and that's even post straightening. In fact, just this morning I used it and almost wanted time for it to flatten a little--a thought I would have NEVER expected to cross my mind! 

I am SO excited that I've finally found a volume product that is reliable! Now I just need to find a good straightener and I'll be on my way to REALLy taking care of my hair!

On that note, any good suggestions for a straightener? Preferably I'm thinking about a skinny one? I'm on the fence between brands and reviews are ALL over the place for different straighteners--hook a sista up with your favorites!

New Do, New You

I have SUPER short hair now!!

This is the last tagged photo of me from my friend Jami's 21st birthday! This was a few days ago so my hair was at the longest and most recent pre-haircut:

I'm sure most of y'all saw my tweets about the haircut yesterday! I went to a great salon in Columbia called Ashley's Alley, and my stylist, Keri, was wonderful. She was recommended to me by a friend and did a great job. She was SO speedy too--I was washed, cut, and blow-dried all in less than 45 minutes. The location is moving, but if anyone in Columbia needs a new hair stylist, shoot me an email and I'll forward you her details!

You can also see a bit of my new house in the background--a very small bit! Our AMAZING pink couch! One of my roommates had a HOT PINK COUCH that's now happily residing in our living room!

I am so excited about my new hair and can't wait to really see how it feels once I'm the primary stylist!

Have you ever made a DRASTIC haircut? Did you like it or did you want your old hair back?!
