Rule No.1
Dirty Hair Rules !!!
I know what your thinking. . . “What is she nuts?!?” Technically speaking, yes, but that’s besides the point. Lol.
Limiting the amount of times you wash your hair is the KEY to having healthy hair. This rule is by far the most important rule. Hence Rule No. 1!
Our scalp produces its own natural oils, which I like to call LIQUID GOLD. The PC term is “SEBAUM
”. . . Yeah, I like liquid gold better too. This liquid gold, helps keep your scalp hydrated & nourished, in return, producing healthy hair. So when you wash your hair too often, your literally stripping away all those precious oils. Like wtf man! Why do you want to do that? Cause you can’t buy this shit. Idc how amazing the brand is, how expensive the product is, Or what annoying celebrity is promoting it, there is nothing else out there that can compete. P E R I O D.
Plus, IT’S FREE! Like duh!!! & let’s not act like we don’t like anything for free, alright, cause you’d be lying. 👆🏻myth I can’t stand hearing over & over again is, “ If you cut your hair often, your hair will grow faster.” This couldn’t be any further from the truth. Like seriously, I just don’t get what someone was thinking when they said this. Your hair grows from your scalp, not your ends, so focusing on a healthy scalp is key to having healthy hair!
Here are some tips I’ve learned through out the years to help make my dirty hair, not so dirty so it can last through out the week.
Dry shampoo - I feel like this is such an obvious one right?! But what it really comes down too, is the RIGHT dry shampoo! Yes you heard me right, there is a right & a wrong dry shampoo. I highly HIGHLY recommend using a powdered form rather then an aerosol. And here’s why... Aerosols are wet & it comes out of the can super fast. They literally want you to hold your arm out as far as possible to use the product. Like wtf, do you want me to get neck problems? nahh I’m good. & even when i would do this, I still got a blob of product stuck at my scalp. And no matter how much I would try to blend it in, it would never work & I would end up with an annoying filmy residue blob on my head. Just great!!! Where’s my hat?!? ... ANYWAYS, powdered dry shampoos are so amazing it’s not even funny. My favorite is the charcoal biotin dry shampoo by Briogeo. (& i'm not getting paid to say this.) Powder dry shampoos are so easy to use because it comes out of the bottle softer & lighter because you CONTROL the amount & pressure by squeezing the bottle. It also blends super easily into the hair, so you don’t get stuck with any filmy residue. Plus it smells amazing! Omg, the amount of times I heard Steve (the hubs) bitch about the smell of my dry shampoos! No joke, I will be upstairs in our bathroom & he’s downstairs in the kitchen, I literally just sprayed the aerosol once, just one time, and ... “OMGEEEE is that the dry shampoo. It’s so gross! I can taste it in my mouth” LMAO. I can’t!
Top knots/Knot buns- I wear these in the shower & when I go to sleep. I know there’s such a thing called a shower caps, but seriously, why?! Do any of you remember the scene w/Tom Hanks in A League of Their Own when he mouths off to the umpire, “Did anyone ever tell you, you look like a penis with a little hat on.” Yeah that’s how I feel! LMAO. I’ll just stick with the knot bun. Besides, just tilt you head away from the water, like duh. I mean I’m taking a quick shower anyways, if I’m not washing my hair, but if shower caps are you thing, more power to you. (Please send pics of your penis head to legallybrondemm@gmail.com thanks 👍🏼) I think buns are seriously the way to go. Now I’m not going to lie, you do get a little bit of a dent, & I know what your thinking, “But Michelle, theirs “dentless” scrunchies out there.” & yes your right, but in my opinion it’s FAKE NEWS. Lets be real, your sleeping or wearing your hair up all day or all night, in a certain position, so using some expensive, promises the world no dents for life scrunchies, are unrealistic. Your going to get a little indent, it’s inevitable! But you can touch that up in the am, so no biggie! Now, that doesn't mean that I don't use them. But the only ones ill use because they work the best & are safe for your hair are the ones made of 100% PURE MULBERRY SILK. Theres no pulling or painless ponies & they actually help REDUCES FRIZZ! I mean HELLO!!! Another cute hair accessory I've been using as of lately, is this super cute jumbo hair clip from Free People & its only $10.00! The jumbo hair clip is surprisingly doing the trick, just make sure to clip it on the very top front side of the head, so if your sleeping on your side, it will be out of your way!
Braids- Hey! They’re not just for kids. Braids are seriously, such an easy way to hide dirty hair. You can work out with them, they’re work attire approved, you can dress them up with some cute hair accessories for date night, perfect for the beach, pool, & boat days & you can even sleep in them. I wore & slept in the same braids for 2 days in a row! I always say, the messier the braid, the better, because
"I messed that bi**h up on purpose!
“
Hats- Beanies, visors, & baseball caps, oh my! When in doubt, whip a baseball cap out & cover those dirty greasy roots. As long as your ends look fresh no one will noticed. I’m super obsessed w/ hats. I wear them 2-3 times a week, at least. You can be bougie & rock Sivan Ayla's beachy visors, or steal your mans cap & rock that shit so much better them him. #vintage
THE OPRAH HAIR TRICK- I remember watching Oprah with my mom (honestly, one of the only times i watched her show lol) and she literally did 3 steps that just rocked my world, literally mouth dropped, mind blown! (I was probably 14 or 15 at the time, so yeah mind blown! ) Like seriously, it is so freaking simple, yet I would have never even thought of it! Are you ready?!? ... Grab your hair brush & your favorite perfume. Hold out your brush & spray ✌🏼 times on your hair brush & brush it through your hair. Voilà! Your hair is instantly R E F R E S H E D & smells like butterfly’s & rainbows. As you walk on by, they will call your name . . . & ask you why your hair smells so heavenly! Your welcome! You can check out the Oprah hair trick here.
