I washed my hair. And…

Friday, February 26th, 2010

I'm becoming a believer. Mostly. First wash since the Brazilian Blowout and much to my delight, I did notice a difference. My hair retained that silkiness even after shampooing (they tell you to use a sulfate-free shampoo – like theirs; I already have the all-natural WEN, so I used that. I did get talked into the Brazilian Blowout deep conditioning masque, which might have made a difference in styling). Blow drying was a spectacular science project: no frizz! As I live and breathe, I've never seen anything like it. My hair looked like it had been flat-ironed. It hadn't. Now, that is not to say that it came out as good as it did in professional hands. There is no such thing as an automatic blowout – you either have that skill, or you don't. I don't. But given that I usually end up with a kinky, crazy stubborn mess – and that's when I try – this helped. My hair is smoother, more polished. No doubt about it.

How Anne Hathaway avoids washing her hair

Hathaway It's my goal in life to avoid washing my hair. I'll try any product that will give me an extra day, or better yet, two. Here's one for the shopping cart: I'm told Anne Hathaway relies on Ted Gibson hair sheets to keep her hair shiny, sleek and frizz-free.Tedgibson The sheets are said to leave hair "feeling clean," which is good enough for me. Sephora sells them, $17.50 for a 10-pack. Steep, but a whole lot cheaper – and faster – than a blowout.
According to the Ted Gibson pr machine, Ms. Hathaway "keeps a supply of hair sheets with her whenever she travels."
Now you know.
