If you’ve got hair that is anything like mine, you see a challenge in the mirror every morning. My stylist, a fabulous young man who cuts my hair wonderfully, has recently convinced me to stop washing my hair so often. Yes, that’s right, to wash it less!

Not only has this given me more time in the morning by cutting down on the length of my showers every other day (and hey! It’s green!), but my hair actually looks better. It’s not burdened with over-clean hair which is a signal to the hair follicles that it needs to make even more oil! In addition, since my hair looks so great, I’ve found that I have more of a desire to spend time with it.

I recently picked up some tips on just how to style my hair, without spending TONS of time on it. I’m pretty busy, and can’t really spend lots of time in front of the bathroom mirror every day, so using these tips has helped me to cut down on my style-time.

• Start with a good shampoo (every other day, of course). If it’s not a hair-washing day, a good rinse in the shower is enough.
• Before blow drying, apply volumizing spray – Oscar Blandi Volumizing Spray is my favorite, – to sections of hair. Separate the sections with either a hair brush or by flipping over and separating parts of your hair with your fingers.
• Blow dry your hair, again going in sections, applying a bit more volumizing spray at the roots when you’re done.
• Finish up with hair spray, serum, or a balm, depending on the look you are going for.
• Blow your great hair (and yourself) a kiss in the mirror and go get ‘em!

It is that easy to style your hair and look great!

Sincerely, Caterina P.S. I found a great hair care site that tells you the right way to wash your hair for optimum results.
