SECOND, THIRD OR FOURTH DAY HAIR?

Shanus — Wed, 20 Nov 2024 12:12:37 GMT

Since my hair has grown out to a longer bob (LOB?), I find that I still have to use a large barrel curling iron to touch it up and give it it some oomph until wash day.

Anyone have ideas what to do to "refresh" w/o using damaging heat every day until wash day?

@Shanus Hi Shanus, I spray a combination of dry shampoo and PuffMe by Kevin Murphy, tip my hair upside down and use a dryer on medium for a minute or so and it seems to work fine.

Shampoo my hair and style it every day. Can't stand to not shampoo hair every day. As a teen I fought w/my mother about this. She thought if I washed my hair every day I would get "sick". And at that time of the month,no bath. The fights went on and on till I moved out and was on my own.

I washed my hair every day when it was short. There wasn't any fixing that on day 2.

I have a bob and am amazed that it still looks good on day 2....with body and shape. I was never able to skip a day until I grew it out to a bob.

I use a 2.5" oval-barrel hair dryer/blower to shape (but not totally dry) the bottom half and let the rest dry on its own. I'm retired so I have time to let it dry on its own. Then I brush it all out and it's a perfect bob.

I can't stand to go more than 2 days. My hair seems stringy on the third day.

I use a little dry shampoo, turn my head upside down and use the blow dryer maybe 30 or 60 seconds. I need to wash by day 3. To you Wen ladies, can you really go a week?

@Shanus @lynnie61 @Desertdi @CalminHeart @Group 5 minus 1

Hair is fine and very frizzy without one drop of oil thx to the change!

So, it is styled in a bob, not shoulder length. Because of alopecia, I use rogaine foam which styles it.

The more I do the worse it looks...

so getting a blow dry once per week is all it needs...

because whatever way it is styled when wet is the way it stays,

Geiing caught in drizzle or rain..is a bummer.

My mother was born in this country...but she had some REALLY strange ideas about what was HEALTHY.

For instance...since sugar and fat are on the top of the food pyramid...she "thought' those were the most important things in one's diet...

@Shanus I use a little dry shampoo and hot rollers on 2nd or 3rd day hair to pump up the volume and curls without putting too much heat on it. Sometimes I brush my L'ange heated brush through my hair and flip up the ends to smooth out any frizz and add some bounce to my layered and feathered wavy haircut. I wake up each morning and look at my hair and then I take it from there 😊. I toss and turn a lot in my sleep, so some days I get a ton of great volume in my hair just from nightmares at night 😅😉.

My hair is VERY thick and dry, I hate it after I wash it is hardly manageabe until a few days after. I only wash it once a week. I use to wash it every day until a hair stylist talked me into trying to go longer, it was a game changer.

On the days after the first day after I get out of the shower when my hair is slightly damp I will blow dry it with a round brush to get it manageable again.

@lynnie61 I alternate in between Wen and Tweak'd. Tweak'd has the same claim that you can go a while without shampooing. The most I can go is a couple of days but I generally wash every other day. I simply can't understand how anyone could go a week??

Re: SECOND, THIRD OR FOURTH DAY HAIR?

LindaSal — Wed, 20 Nov 2024 17:29:22 GMT

@Shanus I'm not much help as my hair is shorter and curly. All I do is either spray it with Wen or Tweak'd revitalizing sprays and use my hands to puff it up. I haven't used a blow dryer in decades.

I wash my hair on Monday and Thursday. I use Wen or Tweak'd revitalizing sprays on the days I don't wash. If that fails I put it in a pony tail.

I find I can keep my hair looking good between washes by piling it on top of my head in a satin scrunchy when I sleep.

@LindaSal Thank you. I use some Wen products, but not to cleanse. I don't get it either. 🙃

Dry shampoo is your friend. I like Kristen Ess and Monday brands. Both available at Ulta. Both cruelty-free.

I would if I could afford it. Maybe your mom and I are related lol Right now it's 62 outside, 21% humidity, with a north wind. North windows are open and it's 66 in the house. Heaven, I'm in heaven.

That's the only big thing we argue about..temp in the house. I love it cool to cold all year around. DH likes to be warmer. My take is you can always put on a sweater or an extra blanket, but when it's too hot for me, I can't run around stripped down. I don't sleep well when too warm and get cranky. Sometimes I slip out of bed when I see he's asleep and turn the thermosat from 72 to 65 and throw another blanket on him. He sleeps better when it's cooler, but too stubborn to admit it. Lol

@ninjawife Twice a week is good for me. When I got older, my scalp and hair got dryer. I got a haircut this this morning and asked her what to do about styling on other days and she showed me how to put a few "curls" or bends in the sides and back w/ a flat iron or small diameter curling iron. She took big sections so when sprayed and fluffed, it just looked like it had volume and no weird pieces where I slept.

***Worst habit ever is sleeping on my side, face down or side to side...thank goodness for my satin pillowcase, but really need to sleep on my back.

I wash my hair every three days. Sometimes I use styling brush on top, but mostly can let it air day and apply hairspray. My hair goes to my neck and is styled around my face in a few layers.

I had the windows open when the outside temperature was in the high fifties or sixties. I like those temperatures. Today the temp outside is only 40, so heat is on.
