At the moment I am on a no heat kick in order to let my hair grow and I have to say so far so good.
Considering I started in November and have only used heat on my hair less than a handful of times i'd say all in all i'm doing well, wouldn't you?
Anyway with no heat to help tame my wavy, thick mop of hair I have had to source products that will help maintain order. However you should know that I am a complete fuss pot and loathe anything heavy or sticky in my hair, I have to be able to touch my hair without being grossed out. Over dramatic moi? Never!
Bumble and Bumble (un) Dressing Creme is the latest product that has won over my affections, a silky non sticky creme product that does not weigh my hair down yet has a little hold to help prevent frizz and keep my poor excuse of a style in ship shape.
If like myself you enjoy tousled bed head type waves with minimal effort then you may want to test this out, although my hair is naturally wavy I find this product helps to define said waves and adds a bucketful of volume...flat hair no thank you!
For five minute hair that looks like you made an effort when you really didn't I find taking a 50p sized blob of Bumble and Bumble (un) Dressing Creme between my palms, dispensing it throughout my hair and quickly ruffling it around does the trick.
I then take half a pea size (we are getting uber technical today) blob and rub it through my roots, quickly teasing with my finger tips for a little volume.
If you are a wake up and go kinda gal then you will enjoy this product and the extra ten minutes in bed...I know I do!

I too am trying to lay off the evil heat to save my hair.Am OK with no straighteners, but can't cope without blowdrying!
ReplyDeleteThis might sound weird, but are there any photos of you on your blog? I sound like a stalker/perv, but it'd be interesting to know exactly what your hair's like so I know if these products would suit me.
Loving your work, as always :)
There could well be from really old posts haha! Best summed up my hair is thicker than thick, not straight not curly but bang in the middle, prone to frizz and bra strap length. I hope this helps :)
DeleteCatherine, I stopped using heat on my hair 2 years ago but i phased it out gradually. I had it cut and stopped using straighteners on it but carried on blow drying it for another 6 months until I had it cut again. After I had it cut the 2nd time I stopped using heat completely on my hair!!
DeleteDid it the world of good x
Thank you! Our hair sounds pretty similar, although mine is quite fine. I think phasing out heat will be the answer for me. I need to be brave!
DeleteGawd awful stuff. Like mega hold gel. I have no idea why it's costs such an obscene amount of money.
ReplyDeleteI have a short cropped hairstyle and most products like this are find but with this i have a shiny gel like crispy mess. And this is with using approximately 5p size blob.
Obviously just my opinion.

Oh god really, I really like it but my hair is below bra strap length so maybe the more hair the better it is?
DeleteI think you're right. It probably works well depending on what style you're wanting to achieve too. I prefer matt type putties.
DeleteThe world would be a very boring place if we all agreed eh :) I have to admit I do enjoy hearing how products work for others. Oddly matte putties do nothing at all for me haha!
DeleteSorry my reply may come across moody, it really wasn't meant too.
DeleteOh god no don't be silly, I didn't take it like that at all! :)
Deletethis sounds great, i love my hair to be easy and this type of put it in and go product sounds right up my street :D

Are you putting it in dry hair? I would love to try this, but I'm hesitant because of a) the price & b) I have super thick hair that's rather long. I've always wanted that bedhead/sex hair look, but I've yet to find something to help me achieve this.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog!

This stuff sounds amazing, you've completely sold it to me haha. I'm trying to use as little heat on my hair as possible too, so it would be great to find a product to just give it that oomph it needs.
