Shiny Hair, Not Just Because Im Pregnant!!

I've been getting a lot of comments recently about my hair being so shiny. I know the rumours of amazing hair pregnant woman have but honestly I'm still shocked every time someone comments because I really haven't noticed much of a difference.

The one and pretty much only thing I have noticed is that my hair falls out far less then it did before I had baby on board!

Anyway, since I've been getting a ridiculous amount of comments on the shine I thought Id let you know my hair care secrets (or lack there of!).

First, I change up my shampoo and conditioners often because I like to a) confuse my hair and not let it get used to one brand and b)I like to try new products. I use mostly drugstore brands and at the moment am using L'oreal's EverCreme Sulfate Free Shampoo & Conditioner which I'm enjoying.

When blow drying my hair (which isn't often these days) I apply John Frieda's Sheer Solution Lightweight Frizz Control when my hair is still damp and blow dry using a large barrel round brush.

This helps lock out the frizz and leave my hair super soft & shiny!

That's it folks! Super simple ;)

It could also be the prenatal vitamins I'm taking too though... 

WIN Shampoo, Conditioner & Hairspray from FINESSE

Ahhh Finesse... I remember you from when I was a young teen, WAY back when. You were good to me then and after seeing your New Clean & Simple line I wondered if you would be good to me now.

Well, you did not disappoint!

I started with the Hypoallergenic Shampoo for dry hair, which came out clear... I gave you points instantly for not adding un-natural colour, then came the Condition also for my poor dry hair. I let you sit and you worked your magic.

As I finished blow drying I noticed my hair felt soft and THICK... it had been a while since I last felt that so thank you Finesse for giving me my sexy (hair) back!!!

Sincerely
Thick Haired Gal Once Again

Have you Pre-Poo'd Lately?

When I first heard this term being used around cyberspace and on blogs I thought it was something gross and so of course I clicked on it out of curiosity as to why it would be on a beauty blog and found out that Pre-Pooing is simply putting conditioner and other oils on your hair before you shampoo your hair to help strengthen and moisturize your locks.


Of Course it is!

So of course I went home that night and slathered my hair in conditioner (I didn't have any oils) and sat patiently for 45 minutes before I washed it out and shampooed as I normally would. Once my hair was dry I could feel a difference, it was softer.... much softer and I was hooked.

I can proudly say that I am now officially a Pre-Pooer!

My next step is to find natural oils such as lavender oil, almond oil, coconuts oil, olive oil and even honey to add into my pre-poo regime and I'm all set!

There are many Pre-Poo videos on YouTube that explain the many ways to do it and how it works.
