Over the past few weeks, I’ve been posting photos of some of my work outfits to Instagram.  As a result, a surprising number of people have asked me what I use on my hair to make it so shiny.  Let’s talk about it.

When I was younger, I tried all of the expensive shampoos — Kerastase, Oribe, Alterna, etc..  All of the money that I spent on designer haircare makes me blush now.  Over the past few years, I’ve been using more drugstore products, and recently switched to a drugstore shampoo and conditioner full time.

When I’m in a major city, my first stop is The Drybar for an Old Fashioned or a Cosmo-Tai.  I love full, curly hair (even if K would prefer I wear my hair straighter).  To get the look at home, I’ve tried every curling iron on the market and every YouTube video tutorial I could […]
