Great Hair is Good to Have

I wish everyone had great hair.
What’s the point of having nice, healthy hair when it simply just hangs as if it’s a dead, colorless creature that drapes pathetically from your scalp.
Is it really that hard to take a product to your locks?
Apparently so.
I have seen so many people who don’t take pride in such an important aspect of their physical appearance.
I wish everyone would style their hair.

Hair is like a glimpse at your heart. (Along with clothing, no doubt).
If you just have un-styled, un-cut long hair that’s parted down the middle people may look at you and not really notice anything about your appearance, just that you must be basic and boring.
If you have pin-straight, scene-teased hair (along with heavy eyeliner and neon clothing) people will look at you and think you’re a lazy, irresponsible teen.
But if you have great, voluminous, styled, AMAZING hair, people will look at you twice, knowing that you have confidence in yourself and that you must style.

You can still reflect who you are and what your personal style is, just in a way that looks more refined.
If you like more edgy cuts then skip the big, 80’s hair and opt for a sleeker, asymmetrical bob. If you still are craving color, ask your hair dresser to blend the color more in. Or go for extensions.
If you’re more of an easy-breezy kind of girl when it comes to fashion and want a hairstyle that you do practically nothing to, go for a cut that is just below the shoulders with plenty of layers. Use pretty headbands to keep the hair from falling in your face.
Then there are those of you who over-style your hair to the point of no return.
Keep the cut itself simple and versatile. Limit yourself to the amount of products you dump on your hair and never forget hair accessories.
Let your hair support your personality, not be it.

Yes, it’s not always good to judge people by how they look but as humans, we do. It’s how you present yourself that’s important and hair is a big part of that.
Remember to let your hair reflect who you really are, not what its saying you want to be.

If only everyone put three times as much effort into styling their hair as they do now, imagine how stylish the world would be.

girls are mean.

I miss my cousin so much!! Last year at this time, we were standing on the space needle in Seattle.

Then we watched fireworks on TV later that night.

Well, welcome in 2010.

And what better way to welcome in 2010 then with new, cute hair?
I have a folder in my pictures where I keep photos of cute haircuts.

So, I'll open it up and show you what's inside:

(I don't own any of these photos, nor remember where I got most of them. They are mostly from google images)

hair cutz

I need a hair cutz deeply.
I also need to work on my school. Oh yay, 'The Discipline of Politics' wooooooooooooooo fuun in the SUUUNN.

Um yeah, I kind just came along to let you all know that I have been thinking of the blog and haven't abandoned it or anything. Sorry for my lack of updates but yeah.

Pantene- Is really as good as Stacy London says?

I pulled some stuff from the interwebz about the Pantene shampoo and conditioner that Stacy London was sponsoring, to see if it was actually worked for others.
"I really wish my hair would be soft & silky like the model in the commercial w/ Stacy London (What Not to Wear). I've tried Pantene before a couple of years ago, but I wasn't very thrilled. But after seeing this commercial I want to give it another try. I was thinking about the "beautiful lenghts" line. Pantene users or anyone who's tried it-I need your opinions. Thanks!! "

I almost fell for that commercial too!! I have used Pantene, volumizing shampoo and conditioner, and it fried/dried my hair. Took me months to get it to be normal again. The mousse also dried it out terribly. Never again.

I tried Pantene once. It fried my hair. I have no chemical processing at all and it dried it out so bad it wasn't funny. Took 2 weeks of daily in-depth cholestrol treatments to get it back to normal. Oh and this was using both the shampoo and the conditioner.

it makes my hair all poofy and crap when i use it.

No Pantene products [do not] work because they have this chemical that coats your hair with this wax and makes it feel soft but it actually damages your hair and when you wash your hair with Pantene products just feel your hair while its being washed and it will feel very rough and that's the wax coating it.

pantene is rubbish...it actually puts a clear 'film' type stuff around each strand of hair when you wash it..that how it is so shiny but it is basically wrecking your hair in the long run.

My hair dresser HATES Pantene! All of the stylists at my salon can't stand it because of the buildup it creates in your hair and scalp.

Of corse, any hairstylist is going to say that the drugstore over-the-counter product is going to be crap, so you pretty much need to rely on your own personal experience with the product or your friends and family's experience.
