Tell me about your hair routine please

[CakeandRoses]

Having finally got my wardrobe and face under manners (HoC colour and style days and Bare Minerals respectively), I now turn my attention to my hair.

I have long, fine, straight (and wavy in places) hair which gets greasy by day 2. I wash it every 1-2 days and then do a haphazard mixture of letting it air-dry or blowdrying it (sometimes with BBH) - I like it looking natural rather than obviously styled but sometimes I think it just looks ungroomed . Recently had a bit of an experiment with colouring it and have just used an auburn semi. I'm rarely happy with it altho people do compliment me on it (it is at least shiny and silky).

I've got 2 v young DCs and don't have lots of time at the moment (tbh, I prioritise make-up and other stuff over hair styling). i'm also pretty cack-handed when it comes to curling with straighteners etc but would be prepared to practice if it meant nice hair for not too much extra time in the long run.

I've just found out that normal people still use dry shampoo so will try that for day 2 as it can look pretty awful on that day.

What else am I missing out on?

Thank you natasha still looks very wavy there. have you done it again since?

i socked mine last night knowing it was too damp as i washed it that evening (at last) and it was only mildly wiggly this morning. just spritzed it and socked it again tonight and we'll see how that works.

my hair def seems to have changed - it feels freshly washed even tho i last washed it last night. odd. usually i'd be feeling icky all day on day 2.

freakoid my hair is fine and layered too and i find mine harder to sock when a) my hair is very clean and b) if i look in the mirror to do it - i get a much better result if i do it by touch.

I keep forgetting to do it

Argh... stupid phone... I'll have another go tonight.

it def has non-greasing properties - i've been amazed how much less oily it is. i guess like blowfish said it's because my hair's not touching my --greasy- scalp.

annoyed as i meant to do it last night - washed my hair earlier purposely - and then forgot.
