When Dirty Hair is Good!

What is YOUR hair type?  Mine is wavy to curly, medium to thick and will be FRIZZY to the MAX if I just let it dry and do nothing with it.  I have lived with my hair for 47 years so I know it better than anyone by now.  If you have my hair type... I suggest you do NOT over shampoo your hair.  That's right, I wash my hair about every 3 days only and I use a very minimal amount of shampoo.  The less SUDS the better.  The more suds, the more detergent in the shampoo and that seems to contribute to the puff & frizz.  Tools that are key for me are:

FAT Curling Iron
Jumbo Velvet Hot Rollers
Leave In Smoothing cream
Styling Gel
Hair Spray
Dry Shampoo

The most important of those being the ones that produce HEAT. Heat is the best weapon of defense against frizz.  This photo was taken last Saturday, and I had not shampooed my hair in 4 days.  Sounds gross but I do take a shower in between, I use a shower cap.  I also use Dry Shampoo spray sparingly, in areas that tend to get a bit oily by day 3 or 4, just to get my by for one more day!  Not only does this method save time, it saves your hair!  All that blow drying and brushing and heat is HARD on your hair.  I only touch up with my fat curling iron on day 2, 3 and 4 and let those curls cool... then a little bit of spray and sometimes gel, a hairband or a clip and I'm good to go.

For this photo I was wearing the Lilla Rose Victorian Inspired Flexi in an XS (for finer or thinner hair, the mini would work for this style).  There are 7 Flexi sizes so no matter how thick or think your hair, there's a size for you .  If you have finer or thinner hair, an XS may work better when you are twisting up ALL of your hair into an up do.  I would call this style the "Half Up"...

How often do you shampoo your hair?

What Size Flexi do I Buy? Well; There is a Style for Every Size!

I wish this photo was a bit clearer - but I find that when I reverse my phone camera to take these "back of my hair" shots - it does compromise the quality of the photo.  I am attempting to show you why it's handy to have several sizes of the Lilla Rose's Flexi for your hair.  The one is a size SMALL.  It is actually a butterfly style and it's called Soaring.

Next I'm showing an interesting way to use a "Medium" sized Flexi.  Of course it all depends on how thick or thin your hair is.  I'm just giving you an example of the different sizes I use on my hair which is pretty thick.

And below is a large.  I took this shot in the ladies room at work.  All these back of my head selfies lately are too funny (lol).

Okay this one is called Roman Stone.  It's not the one I'm wearing in the picture but I think it's just beautiful.  I think it would be a great addition to your collection.  I'm picturing it as perfect for any season.

Lastly; I am so happy to announce the new June Flexi of the month!  It's soooooo lovely.  What do you think about it?  Be honest, I want your opinions...

I love the shiny finish... I think it wil be beautiful on - can't wait to try it.

This week I'm Linking up with:

My Girlish Whims for Your Whims Wednesday

Introducing My New Hair Jewelry Line - Lilla Rose

So excited to introduce this new hair jewelry (clips & more) to you!  I was going to just review it but decided not to wait on introducing you to this fantastic product line.  I have long, thick, wavy hair.  I love to twist and flip my hair up like this photo (I borrowed the photo from the Lilla Rose page - this is not me).  I usually use a plastic banana clip.  The plastic banana clips are bulky and sharp and when I drive, they dig into my scalp because of the head rest being right there.

These clips are called Flexi Clips.  They actually flex around your hair and grab it with a smooth pin underneath and clasp into place.  They come in multiple sizes depending on the thickness of your hair!  They come in many styles too - just beautiful!!!

The picture of the lady with the pretty French Twist actually doesn't have the Flexi clips though - she is using a product that I am REALLY crazy about - called the You Pins.  Set of two - all you need to hold your hair up in bun and super easy to pull the pins out to let your hair fall out of the bun.  Unfortunately, the items in the picture above are the April Exclusives... and they are ALL SOLD OUT!  I'm waiting to see pictures of the new May Exclusives.  I will post them here as soon as I get my hands on them.

Those are just a few of my favorite You Pins!  New ones are introduced every month.

Another product that I love to wear but I usually can't wear for long is a headband.  I mean the decorative kind with pretty beads or similar.  These are genious.  They have an adjustible elastic strap so that they will flex and you won't get a headache!  I can't tell you how excited I am about this new product line of mine.

Love love love...

I will be hosting a giveaway in my next post.  Please let me know how you feel about Lilla Rose?  I love and welcome your comments and want to hear from you as to which one of these items you'd like to see in my GIVEAWAY...  if you don't ask you won't receive... right?
