63 Days To Go

As August is winding down, I have been thinking a lot of fall.  I love fall.  Warm days, cool nights, and cool mornings for running.  Not quite cool enough in Southern CA to bring out the sweaters, mind you.  But it is time to put the whites away (although in SoCal, white seems to be worn all year round - but not by this native Northwesterner!) and think about the colors that come with the season.

It is also a time when I begin thinking about my hair color.  I have decided to move away from the blonde look, besides they don't really have more fun, and find a richer color for the season.  Lord knows what my natural state would be if I let it all hang out, and I am not going anywhere near there, but I am thinking of a richer, milk chocolately color.  I has helped that my stylist has been using Morroccan Hair Oil on me.  It leaves my hair with unbelievable shine and manageability.  The texture becomes what I have always sought, and I absolutely love, love, love the way it looks and feels.  The problem?  It is a new product and I am not allowed to make said purchase until November 1.

So, left to my own devices, I thought I would try something from my home kitchen.  I put a teensy drop of EVOO on my hand, worked it around my palms and then added my normal smoothing balm.  Worked them both into my hair and voila' - I had stiff, unmanageable hair.  Albeit shiny...

Not to be deterred, I tried again, with an even smaller amount of EVOO, a little water mixed in and more smoothing.  Results?  Better, but still not ideal.  Bottom line, I am waiting for November when I can have the soft, shiny, manageable hair of my dreams.  And I give myself points for trying.


Love,
S

PS:  If you haven't had the luxury of trying this, do it now!  Well worth the investment for the small amount you use.
