I Heart My Hot Rollers

** I Heart My Hot Rollers **

My friends and family know that I am addicted to hot rollers. I have been using them since my stepmom introduced me to her Con Air Rollers as a little girl.  My Mom, like most of you, would roll our hair up in sponge curlers the night before a special occasion so that we would have bouncy Shirley Temple curls for pictures.  I think that hot rollers are the easiest way to add a little volume while styling your hair.  I use them a minimum of three times a week and I have owned two sets of rollers since high school.  If you do the math, these things are indestructible.  Let’s just say if my house was on fire and you asked me to take a few beauty products with me, these would be one of the first things I would grab {wink}.

Hide Damaged Hair {Tutorial}

 

As busy moms, we are often left very little time to do our own hair in the morning.

Usually, it’s a mad dash to make sure the kids are well-fed, groomed, dressed appropriately, and dropped off at school on-time with healthy lunches securely packed!

Most mornings we are lucky to get a brush through our hair before drop-offs, while the rest of the time we end up sporting top knots or ponytails.

Unfortunately, these sorts of updo’s can lead to some serious hair breakage over time.

We decided to look into some new ways to do our hair that promise to be quick and easy… while still looking polished.

We found this great {short} video tutorial on how to create beachy waves that helps to minimize the appearance of dry, damaged hair {since we also go too long between cuts — yikes}!
