Good afternoon, Friday. It's a dreary one outside and now that freelance life has begun, my need for fuss-free beauty products is stronger than ever.
In a moment of weakness last month, I bought Alexa Chung's book "IT" because I am a sucker for a book with a pink cover and also I admire her style, even if she is pretentious. I can't help myself. And besides her gangly limbs and ability to make a Peter Pan collar or denim shorts look impossibly chic, the girl's got great hair. Like, always. Her secret? Apparently all you have to do is dry your bangs with a blow dryer so they're not all wonked out and then let the rest of your mane dry naturally. So I do. And I did. And it's great, as long ast there's not a ton of humidity in the air (yesterday was particularly good for this method).
And when the hair is dry, my new favorite go to product is Evo's Haze powder, which Alexa Chung does not mention in her book, but which I found in my travels. To me, it's better than hair powder and less gooey than a pomade or fixative. A little bit dissolves in your hand, and all you have to do is crunch up the locks with your fingers and it's game on for that nice wavy thing a la Alexa and is not too "producty" so not too much build up or overdoing it. I love this product- also great for a fresh blow dry when you want to look a little less Washington wife smooth and a little more rock and roll cool. And at just under $20 on Amazon, it's priced right for those embarking on a freelance career, and since a little goes a long way, it's a good investment. Complements a day in gym clothes working from home nicely- bonus points if you go mingle with the public a little and plug in at your local coffee spot. Freelancing has never looked so good.
Cause that's what's up this product-ive Friday in the 718. Yours, in perfect bedhead goodness. XO
PS Can people stop saying "on trend" or "what's trending"? Please? I just needed to get that out.
