I get a lot of questions about my hair. People often ask me how long it takes me to style my hair, if it's naturally wavy, etc. To be honest, my hair is kind of crazy. It wasn't until my twenties that I really figured out how to work with it, because it is just so thick! I have a lot of hair, and when it's not under control, it can be something of a frizzy mess. My first tip to anyone who has hard to manage hair is to find a good stylist. I used to hate getting my hair cut. It almost always ended in disaster, that is, until I found a stylist who specializes in cutting super thick hair, like mine. I've been going to the same girl for years now, and she's the only person that I'd trust with a pair of scissors near my hair. Finding a good stylist was helpful, but it still took me a good 40 minutes each day to style my hair. This lengthy routine lasted for awhile, but sooner than later, I was back to running the straightener through my hair every morning...A 20 minute process in itself. I was finding ways to manage my hair, but it was time consuming, I was using a ton of product AND I was killing my hair!
About a year or so ago, a friend of mine saw me struggling with my hair on a particularly frizzy day, and suggested that I look into a Brazilian Blowout. This is a smoothing treatment, similar to Keratin. However, unlike with a keratin treatment, you leave the salon ready to go. You don't have to wait 3 days to wash your hair, you can immediatly put it in a pony tail, etc. These are important factors for someone who is always on the go! I find that with my hair, the Brazilian Blowout takes away the frizz, without removing the body. Its lasts for about three months, and it cuts my styling time in half! Did I mention that I don't have to use ANY post shower products? So although the treatment is a bit of an investment, I save a lot of money on pricey products that I no longer have to use to keep my hair under control. With my busy lifestyle, easy to manage hair is essential, and the Brazilian Blowout has been a total game changer for me.
This outfit has been a favorite of mine for work this fall. I picked up this sweater during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale over the summer, and it has been such a great transitional piece. During the later summer months I paired it with white pants and Jack Rogers sandals, and for a more casual look I've paired it with denim. I love how the pleated chiffon comes out from the split back cut, which is so "in" right now. Do note that the chiffon is very sheer, and if you're planning on wearing this sweater in a work setting, layering a tank top underneath is necessary... Enjoy your day!
