TRESemme TRESemme Ooo La La

If you know me or don't know me, I guess it does not really matter, but I am what you call a bargain shopper in really all aspects of my life. I rather spend the little money I have on traveling and going out than buying really lavish things for myself. Hopefully one day this will change, but until then...

Anyway, a while ago while at Sephora, I found a dry shampoo bottle for $11. This was an extremely small bottle and frankly I do not really remember who it was by, but it sucked. The product worked, but it was gone after two uses and for $11, what a waste.

So I gave up the dry shampoo search as I can't really afford to keep buying this to have it run out quickly.

That was until I saw the the TRESemme commercial for their dry shampoo. I got very excited because they are usually fairly cheap, but was this product too good to be true? Well I had to find out. So the next day I was at Target searching for this product, and there it was for $5. And its a pretty big can too. So I bought it and let me tell you it is amazing. I feel like my bangs look better than when I normally wash and dry my hair.

It assisted me out the other night and I plan to buy this as long as it is around. Hopefully it will never go away. I suggest if you get oily looking hair by the end of the day, that you seriously consider spending the $5 for it!

Submission Time

This next one comes from Despina, a dedicated do talkin' reader. She obviously saw this commercial and thought of me. This is definitely an unfortunate haircut. It looks like a razor cut do, on already thin hair. It also looks like there might be some styling wax or something to give a wet look to this haircut. This woman could look so much better with a different haircut. This basically looks like a slicked butt part on top and fringe on the bottom. Now this woman is probably married, because anytime I see something unfortunate, someone is usually in love with them, but I am not going to bash this woman for her choices but rather give a suggestion.

Having thin hair myself, the worst thing you can do, is a razor cut. How do I know? I have been there - it was called my early 20s. When I look at pictures now, I realize why I was so unappealing to the opposite sex. So first things first, grow out those layers. Once she does this, which obviously will take a long time, you can then shape it into something that will give her body and also frame her face better. I do not suggest a straight across bang - I would probably leave most hair off her face except maybe something to the side.

The 2nd major issue is her eyebrows. Ladies, eyebrows are important. Her one eyebrow is starting way too far from her other eyebrow and its not symmetrical. She has to let whatever she plucked there grow back in. Because her face looks off, and this is definitely a big part of it.

I am just going to refer to this hairdo as, a non conventional way to give up. World, try not to give up.

Hair Yay or Nay

Today's commentary is about a discussion I had with a friend of mine a few days ago. She likes a guy, everything about him, except that he is very hairy. Men expect women to be smooth hairless creatures, so can we in turn want these same things?

I do not think this comes down to shallowness because everyone has their thing that turns you off. So if hair turns you off, and it makes you not want to have sex with that person, then I think it is a valid concern.

Luckily these days, hair can be removed. But how do you suggest this without being a jerk? I really have no idea. I do not think there is any good way to tell someone they need to do something different with their body. It will never come out right, and if you want that person to ever be with you, I suggest you keep it to yourself.

The only loophole would be if this person brought it up themselves and you offered to be supportive and go with them to remove said hair.

Personally, I usually care more about the hair on the head than anything else, but I have not been with a hairy man, so that could very well change if I ever so happen to find myself in the arms of one.

That being said, if any company wants to offer me laser hair removal treatment, I will be more than happy to blog about my awesome experience, granted it was awesome.
Thank you.

My talented special friend designed these t-shirts. I suggest you go and buy one. And there is a tshirt with an afro on it - You know how I love afros! (Semi-do related)

Wiggin' Out

So I just got back from Madrid, again, and the first night I was there, I passed by a wig shop. Looked like your typical wig shop, until I saw this gem.



Now granted, I do not live in Spain, but from what I saw and gather, I do not know any woman in Spain that would wear this. I am not even sure why this was in the window as an attention grabber. It should have been put in the back. This cannot possibly allure customers, unless you are like me and wished it was open so you could try it on.

Now I am pretty sure, I have never seen this style on any woman with hair or without hair.

I feel like I can start a social experiment with just wearing different wigs to see the different reactions and get it on video. If I did not have a day job, this is what I would do with my time.

If anyone wants to start this project, let me know. PS Everyone should go to Spain!

Feliz Ano Nuevo!

Happy New Year everyone. New Year's is always special because everyone is getting all done up, hair, makeup, sparkly dresses and such. Well I guess not everyone, but many people like to go all out to bring in the new year. As I am on the subway heading out to Brooklyn to celebrate with my crew, I noticed a girl on the train with.....are you ready.......a zig zag part. I have not seen a zig zag part since....I honestly have no idea when the last time I saw one was. It's been years. So long in fact, that I forgot that people did these and apparently are still doing this.

So while I am on the train, I of course cannot communicate with the people around me about this phenomena nor can I discuss with this woman, who looked fairly normal otherwise, about her choice for the night.

Alas, I texted Vavoom to share my discovery of the part, who was also very excited by this. I told him he would be the only one who understood, and it was true, he did.

I was so stunned by this hair part, it almost made me wish I could start an interviewing process to find out if this is her normal hairdo, or something special for New Year's. The sad part is, I will just never know.

For those of you that have no idea what this is, feast your eyes. And of course, may this year be merry and wonderful. Take care of your hair in 2011!

Merry Christmas Ya'll

So Christmas is over and I am finally at home and relaxing after some stressful weeks. My hair is growing to a nice length at the moment and I am pretty pleased with the outcome so far. I just want to make my hair big and have it stay big. Maybe this is something I can try for New Year's. I want volume to the maximum.

Anyway, I came home and Good Hair was on tv. If you haven't seen it, it is pretty interesting to watch. The amount of chemicals they use in their hair is very toxic. Now, as a child I did get perms and thought nothing of the chemical process involved as why would I as a child; all I knew was I just wanted curly hair.

The crazy part is, they have 3 year olds putting a relaxer in their hair, which I personally think is really young. As a big fan of afros, I would never probably do that to my child, but who knows. Maybe it is really difficult to maintain and having really fine thin hair, I will never fully understand the challenges.

Seeing how much work these women put into their hair is making me feel really lazy about my style. I never put my hair up or do anything really exciting to it. And since I spend half my time thinking about hair, you think I would.

This one woman flew from Colorado to NYC to get her hair done. Wow, this movie is totally fascinating. I remember wanting to see it when it first came out, but at least I am now.

We need more movies about hair. That is my final statement.
