The most amazing hair product. Ever. No, really!!

Ok, this is a totally UNSOLICITED, UNPAID FOR, UNREQUESTED review. (Although if the company wants to pay me AFTER the fact, go for it. Or better, yet, just send me some more of this stuff please?)

My hair is super curly. It gets REALLY frizzy (even in Utah’s dry weather – you do NOT want to know what it used to look like when we lived on the humid east coast. Suffice to say – EVERY DAY was a bad hair day). Anyway, I’m always up for trying new products – always hopeful that SOMETHING will tame the frizz. I typically use Garnier Fructis Style Fiber Gum Putty – and it does an ok job, but my hair still usually overpowers it and curls up too much and/or gets too frizzy.

I also used to use Scruples Enforce Sculpting Glaze – this stuff was AWESOME. My only complaint about it was that it made my hair too “crunchy” – but you could “decrunch” it by grabbing a bunch of curls and squeezing for a second. I’m psyched to find it now available on Amazon. That was the other big problem is that I couldn’t find anyone that was selling it!

Last week, I brought the kids into SuperCuts to get haircuts because Wednesday was “picture day.” While we were there, I started looking at the various hair products they were selling in the salon. One of the haircutters was trying to convince me to get this, and I didn’t buy it right away. (Mostly because of the name of the product. “Curl Amplifier” makes it sound like it’s going to make my hair MORE curly. This would not be a good feature!) Instead, I bought something else that didn’t do what I wanted. It was some kind of “wax” thing from Paul Mitchel.. basically the end result was that not only did it do nothing for the frizz – it just made my hair greasy feeling. So I went back there to exchange it – and again she tried to convince me to give this product a try. Being that my selection hadn’t gone so well – I figured, I might as well listen to her!! LOL! So I bought it. TOTALLY TOTALLY Awesome. Seriously. No friz. No crunch. My hair curled up into perfect little ringlets without my spending hours twisting them together to force them into some organization. LOVE IT!!! Anyway, it’s called: TIGI Catwalk Curls Rock Curl Amplifier.

If you have super curly hair – you’ve definitely got to check it out!

Totally Awesome Hair Accessory Giveaway from CoverYourHair.com!!

U

You’ve seen my hair, right? Up in the picture above. It’s big. It’s curly. It’s unmanageable. It’s all over the place. I love the way it looks when I wear it down (on the rare occasion it also decides to behave), but it is a total pain in the neck. People love curly hair… when they don’t have it themselves. One major problem I have is my hair is always falling into my face. It would be the Cousin Itt effect if I wasn’t constantly pushing it aside. To deal with this, almost every day, I wear it back in a ponytail. But this look is getting really old and really boring.

When CoverYourHair.com contacted me about doing a review and a giveaway of their product, I knew, with my unmanageable hair, I was perfect for the job! The Pre-tied Bandanna’s are really fun, look cool and they do a great job of keeping my hair out of my face. I’ve also tried their wide headbands. You can bunch up the material all together to have it look more like a standard headband, or if you spread out the material, it looks a bit like a head scarf. There’s tons of other types of head gear on their site. Here’s an example of one of their pre-tied bandannas:
