I& #39;m here now with an interlude in the midst of the world burning to give details that no one actually asked for on an urgent, edge-of-your-seats issue:

My hair.

I know y& #39;all& #39;re thinking "She must be joking" "Ugh, so full of herself" or whatever other fake judgments of me that I just made up in my head.

But I& #39;m serious!

I get unexpected Zoom chat DMs like 2x a week with compliments for my hair. They are much appreciated!

And since y& #39;all (kind of didn& #39;t) ask, I& #39;m happy to share the few simple steps I take to get hair this comment-worthy.

Step 1:
I was born a (white) girl with thick, curly/wavy hair.

I wash my hair with bar shampoo & conditioner from a work-at-home mom that only sells through invite-only FB groups. She doesn& #39;t even have a website. You have to join "The Squirmy Worm" buy group on FB to order it through a Google spreadsheet.

The Happy Hausfrau. Worth it.

While my hair is still wet, I use this

Also, LUSH has really good practices for packaging recycling and reclamation, and lots of social benefit funding. I honestly love them as a company. https://www.lushusa.com/hair/hair-treatments/randb/9999903832.html">https://www.lushusa.com/hair/hair...

(Aside: I& #39;m ok using LUSH bar shampoos (I sometimes travel with them), but their bar conditioner actually is too greasy for my hair, and it doesn& #39;t last nearly long enough for the high price point.)

Next, I spritz my hair with this

Eufora stuff is highly concentrated (i.e. less water) so there& #39;s more product per bottle. Good packaging practice! https://eufora.net/collections/curln/products/perfect-curl-activator-1">https://eufora.net/collectio...

Then I use this hair dryer: https://www.sallybeauty.com/tools-and-brushes/hair-styling-tools/hair-dryers/full-size-folding-ionic-hair-dryer/SBS-510130.html

On">https://www.sallybeauty.com/tools-and... high heat / low power. Not until fully dry, just to zap the ends & roots, <5 mins.

You& #39;ll notice none of these steps included a brush or a comb. I mean, I own a brush, but it mostly collects dust.

...unless I& #39;m going for straight, which requires a brush, a comb, an iron, clips, a different dryer attachment, and WAY MORE TIME than anybody has.

This entire curly hair routine takes <15 minutes, and I only do it every other day.

I knew you were all desperate for this thread, so YOU& #39;RE WELCOME, but also I just really wanted to hype the products I& #39;ve been using for years, because good hair comes from good products.
