2020 is just a little bit different right?

With the holidays coming up, it might look even more different with many of us unable to travel to see our family. I bet there are a bunch of us who are even having Thanksgiving over Zoom! Connection with friends and family is so even more important now than it ever has been. If you’re anything like me then you are dying for connection and catch up with a friend but you may not want to have to do the whole wash, blow-dry, and style thing. Or you may have an important business call and want to look put together, but don’t want to put in all the effort that comes with washing your hair!

     Lately I have been in that exact position, I’ve been having a ton of Zoom calls and many times I find out about them at the last minute and don’t have time to do the whole she-bang!

Waterl<ss Hair Care has been such a lifesaver in these moments of need because they have the best dry shampoo & hair balm.

Their system is so easy and makes my hair always look fabulous, even after not washing my hair for days. I don’t have to sacrifice spending 2 hours doing my hair to look great. My hair can look awesome and I have time for other things!

Using Waterl<ss cuts doing my hair down by an hour and a half.

It only takes me 20-30 minutes when I use their products-unreal right?! That is more time I can spend catching up with friends over FaceTime, playing with Gizmo or my new puppy Bowser, taking fun creative photos, or just anything other than getting an insane arm workout blow-drying my hair! Their Dry Shampoo No Residue removes build and absorbs oil from my hair leaving no grey residue. And their Heat Shield Protect & Re-Style is perfect to spray onto my dry hair before curling it for a Zoom meeting, a hot date at home with Cameron, or a photoshoot. I cannot emphasize more how important it is to protect your beautiful hair from heat every time you style it, not just when you blow dry! And then I always finish with their amazing Dry Conditioner Weightless Smooth because it makes my ends soft and shiny. 

     With these three products, I never have to turn down an opportunity to connect with friends or family because I haven’t washed my hair in days (quarantine life amirite?!).

But instead I can spend my time where it is most valuable: with family during the holidays (even if it is on Zoom!). That connection and family time is so essential right now and a little hair refresh goes a long way. I know I always feel better than my hair is looking on point! All of these amazing products are available at Sally Beauty online or in stores.

Waterl<ss: My Secret to Going a Week Without Washing My Hair

Waterl<ss: My Secret to Going a Week Without Washing My Hair

This post is sponsored by Waterl<ss.

If you are anything like me, then you dread washing your hair because you know a long, damaging session with the blow dryer looms before you.

I’ve tried many a hair product to maximize the time between washes, but I haven’t found one that compares to Waterl<ss. If you’re not familiar with Waterl<ss, it’s a hair care company based out of Cape Town, South Africa created by a small group of scientists who wanted to create non-wash products that actually work. They put the products to the test during the water crisis in early 2018! I love partnering with brands that have awesome principals, and Waterl<ss celebrates diversity with lines for all different hair types. They are also passionate about water conservation! Their three-step system to maximizing the time between washes is so effective because it makes your hair look, feel, and even smell fresh-like you washed your hair that day. They want your hair to look just as good on day three as it does on day one. You know me, I go 4, sometimes even a full week without washing my hair. I do it using Waterl<ss’ full regimen of products. Also-think about this-the less you wash your hair, the less damaging heat you put on it. I am convinced this has helped my hair grow so long and healthy.

Making your hair look clean

Waterl<ss’ first step is their dry shampoo. Their No Residue dry shampoo stands out above the rest because there is no residue. You know how some dry shampoos leave your hair looking grey or chalky? Waterl<ss has absolutely zero of that. My roots are a light brown/dark blonde and so I am always cognizant of that-I mean who wants to walk around with grey roots?! Waterl<ss has solved this problem and simply leaves your roots looking clean.

Making your hair feel clean

You know that feeling after you deep condition your hair? The ends are soft and smooth. It’s hard to get that feeling without actually deep conditioning your hair. I know usually around day 2-3 of me forgoing washing my hair the ends begin to get a little brittle. But Waterl<ss has developed such a great solution to that! Their Weightless Smooth dry conditioner leaves your hair shiny, smooth, and soft-feeling like you just deep conditioned it. I always apply the dry conditioner to the mid shaft of the hair down to the ends, avoiding my roots or places near the top of my scalp.

Making your hair smell clean

Your girl loves to work out. I work out every single day. I also love hiking and pretty much doing anything active. But I don’t want to have to wash my hair every single time I work out-if I did that I would be spending an hour a day blow drying-nobody’s got time for that! Waterl<ss’ third and final step is their hair fragrance. This makes your hair smell fresh and clean without being overly “perfumey.”

Waterl<ss’ system has completely transformed how much heat I use on my hair and how often I need to wash it. Their products are so effective and thoughtful. I love being able to go hiking or work out knowing I can go without having to wash my hair afterwards. Their three-step system has perfected making your hair look, feel, and smell so fresh and clean!

The Waterl<ss Collection is available online at Target!
