Wet to dry heatless beachy waves

I am not one that goes looking for low maintenance do's, as a stylist it's my job to spend time on my hair making sure it looks good. However majority of my clients long for them & it is also my job to find solutions to their problems & achieve their needs. I understand that life gets crazy & time is limited. 

This week my salon held a product knowledge class for a new product line we are getting called 'Bumble & Bumble' 

I was eager to try some of the products we were given to test out! So I dove right in. 

One is a new product they are launching this summer called 'Don't blow it' where no heat is required. You just put the product in wet hair & let it air dry. It is supposed to enhance your natural texture & be easy to get up and go! 

So here is my review & tutorial on wet to dry heatless beachy waves! 

Step 1: 

Wash your hair , towel dry it & comb it all straight back. I like to comb my hair all back before applying the product so that it can be distributed evenly. 

(I used tigi's catwalk 'fashionista' purple shampoo and conditioner for blondes)

Step 2:

I then applied the products.

The first one was a spray on conditioner that acts as a primer to help fill in all the gaps and seal the cuticle before applying other styling products. Kind of like what make up primer does for your face! 

'Bb prep primer'

After spraying all throughout my hair (and I sprayed a lot!!!) I combed it all back again. I then applied the next product 'Don't blow it hair styler' 

I used about 3 quarter sized adrops total. I feel like you couldn't over use this product. It smells so good and has a light weight creamy conditioner feel. 

Step 3: 

Shake your hair and establish a part. Then you want to take random sections and twist them with your fingers away from your face like so ... 

The more messy the better!

Step 4:

Do nothing ! That's the best part. Just let your hair air dry. Mine takes forever, thanks to being so blonde. My hair lacks moisture and wants to hold onto every ounce of it that it can! Therefore I just slept like this!

I will admit during the process my hair felt stiff and crunchy! But when I woke up , & ran my fingers through it to broke up all the pieces and was astounded!

My very VERY poker straight hair had some wave to it! And it was soft and touchable and you couldn't even tell I had product in it!! I'm sure those of you with actual wave or texture to your hair would get even better results!! 

I am so excited for this product to launch & can't wait to get it in my clients hands!!! I love that I got this look with NO HEAT! Perfect way to keep your hair healthy

Quick Inspiration craft

I never go looking for inspiration, it always finds me. The universe is funny that way, it always knows what and when I need things most! 

I have been OBSESSED with the show 'Fixer Upper' on HGTV lately & when they decorate and finalize details on the houses they fix up, Joanna the wife- usually has great quotes turned into artwork! 

This quote I used for my quick inspirational craft she used in a woman's home who was becoming a single mother due to a divorce & was looking for a new start.. And it just spoke to me. 

My mom raised me as a single mother for many years and now that I am a mom myself I know what that took & am forever grateful to her for all the sacrifices she made for me. 

With my maternity leave officially coming to an end, taking on a new position coaching cheer & re-doing furniture pieces for a profit now (more on that later) I have had to be away from my baby girl more than I'd like to lately. 

If I could have it my way I'd just strap her into some baby wearing contrapment and take her everywhere with me, however this is real life & that's not the case!

Some days are harder than others but they all end and begin the same, with a choice. 

How amazing is that quote?

When I saw it on the show I knew I had to have it in my house somewhere, I wanted to see it daily as a reminder. 

It literally took me 10 minutes to make! I just bought sticky letters from targets $1 bin in different colors (5 packs total) & the big canvas came in a 2 pack from Walmart for like $6! 

I used a ruler to keep my lettering straight & laid them all out before I peeled the backs & stuck them to the canvas 

Once I had everything where I wanted it, that was that! See... So easy! 

And cheap!! So cheap ! 

I hung it in our living room where I will see it everyday. I have been building & re-doing this collage wall since we moved in last year & I am really starting to love it! 

I can't wait to make more crafts for it!! 

So stay tuned :)
