With the first, there's a pretty easy remedy to restore the integrity of one's nails … remove all of the polish. Regarding the latter, well, this has been a bit more difficult for me to solve.
I've mentioned a time or two that my coif has some damage. Between near daily heat styling (I'm trying to get better, doing my best to use dry shampoo to style 'second day hair' and give my locks a break) and large amounts of bleach, my hair hasn't been treated as well as it deserves.
The brunt of the damage has been done to my top layers. When I go in for highlights, it's usually just a 'partial' and that means my colorist focuses on the area above the occipital bone. Also, I tend to run a flat iron AND a curling iron over those same areas to tame my naturally (and VERY) curly strands.
I've tried almost everything to tame the broken and damaged hairs around my face that lead to flyaways - silicone products, hairspray, etc. You name it, I've probably tried it.
However, my days of trial and error seem to have come to a close ever since I purchased John Frieda's Full Repair Touch-Up Flyaway Tamer a few weeks ago. This product offers a really light hold that isn't stiff and doesn't seem to add too much build-up. This little miracle tube is slightly larger than a mascara tube and has the exact same applicator. After I've styled my hair (the blow drier, flat iron, curling iron gauntlet), I run just a few strokes of this over my front section and it smoothes everything into place. Check out this before-and-after below to see for yourself …

False! There are so many more things that really grind your gears; enough that you could dedicate your Monday posts to that subject alone.
ReplyDeleteI said "really grind my gears." Big difference.
