Sweet Shot Tuesday: Hair Product

Taken with my iPhone4 and edited/posted with the Instagram app.

Some people think that it is much easier to have short hair.  You just wash and go, right?  I actually spend more time on my short hair than I did with my long hair.  I used to live with an eternal ponytail.  I got tired of doing nothing with my hair and decided to cut it short.

My hair is extremely thick and curly naturally.  You probably can’t tell, because I maintain it frequently.  I have to have my hair cut and razored every few weeks to thin it out.  If I don’t, I start looking like a Q-Tip.  Let’s just say that my hair is looking rather fluffy right now.  To bring out the texture in my hair, I use several hair products.  I start by combing out my hair and add in some texturizer, water wax, or gel.  I prefer the thick creamy products.  I have to be careful to not use too much product because my hair tends to look greasy. I may use some silicone gel after that for shine, and finish it off with hair spray.  So much for easy hair styling.

I ran out of her goop the entire day, and I panicked.  I knew that I would not be able to do my hair without some kind of texturizing product.  My usual Transforming Paste from Aquage is pretty hard to find.  I have substituted it with Bed Head’s Manipulator for the past two months.  The Manipulator, pictured above it thick and gooey.

I took the photo on Monday morning, when I was trying to do my hair in a hurry.  I may have gotten the texturizer all over everything because it is very sticky.
