If you have hair like mine- "good" hair days are one that we really have to work hard at. I have, what I call the "mixed girl" hair problem! For those of you out there with beautiful and manageable hair; that check "other" when it asks your race- you are a rare breed. I am mixed with Asian (Filipino and Japanese), and white (Irish) <aka- haole.> Also referred to as hapa.
My mixed genes plus Hawaii's humidity is no bueno. My hair gets soo frizzy and nappy- I hate to wear it down! Which is unfortunate, because I love to curl my hair. The longer my hair gets, the wavier it gets- which means the more tangles I get. I don't even know how many brushes I have broken with my wild mess. It is so hard to find a good brush that is not that expensive. Trust me, I have had them all. The cheap plastic brush that gets stuck IN your hair and the expensive wooden brushes that are made with Unicorn tears- hence the outrageous price. The worse is when your hair air dries. When my hair air dries, I need to constantly run a comb through it or by the time it dries- I can barely run my fingers through the knotted mess.
Behold, the Knot Genie. Thanks to late night informercials, I was introduced to the best brush that can get knots out! This brush is hands down- the best one yet! (No, I am not paid to endorse products, but if you know the maker of the Knot Genie- tell them I will market their product for free.99 because it saved my life!) When I first saw it on an informercial I thought, "hmmm- I wonder if that works?" I NEVER order anything off the T.V. because I don't want to start. Know what I mean? I don't want to be the person that orders off the T.V alll the time. I mean, I ALREADY have an online shopping addiction! LOL. Well, funny the way the universe works, because the very next day, I saw it as a special on a website I frequent! (Zulily!) It was meant to be! Fate said so. So I got it. And it is the BEST hairbrush hands down!! I can brush my hair easily after I shower, and I can AIR DRY my hair! I highly, highly recommend this bad boy if you have hair like mine.
I am always on the hunt for a GOOD conditioner for my mane. Be it- leave in conditioner, a hair mask, or regular everyday use- I am always looking for the best kind. I even make my own with coconut oil! (I will give the recipe on a later blog.)
I just started to use this hair mask- and it is hands down, AMAZING!!! It smells soooo delicious and it makes my hair feel really soft. My husband loves the way it smells, and I love the way my hair looks after I straighten it!
I am always at the beach or outside, so my hair gets dried and "crunchy." In fact, sometimes I like to leave in a conditioner when I go to the beach. Hey, you gotta take care of your hair, right?? LOL. The other day I put the mask on before we went to the beach (because I knew we were gonna be there alllll day- lucky us!), and it helped my hair to not get so tangled! I love this thing!!
Again, I do not get paid to endorse any products- I just want to share MY OPINION on what works for me! Pictured below is the mask. It is made by the popular Moroccan Oil brand. It is kinda pricey but sooo worth it!
There you have it. Just a few hair products that I absolutely LOVE. What hair products do you like to use??
SIDENOTE: Just to clarify a few words.
-Hawaii is a melting pot of cultures and nationalities. We call "mixed people"- hapa.
-Haole: [ˈhɔule], in the Hawaiian language, is generally used to refer to an individual that fits one (or more) of the following: "White person, American, Englishman, Caucasian; American, English; formerly, any foreigner; foreign, introduced, of foreign origin"
