Thanks mom!

My mom is very no fuss about her hair (must be where I get it from).  She doesn't like to spend a lot and has been coloring her own for as long as I can remember.  Occasionally a stylist can talk her into a product (not often, but it happens).  As was the case with the Fantastic Sam's Fantastic Style Volumizing Potion.  She bought it, used it once, immediately disliked it, and offered it to me.  I checked the back, found "Not Tested on Animals" so I thought I'd give it a try.  

The directions are simple, apply a small amount to towel dry hair.  For added volume, blow dry.  It has a light scent and is not too heavy for my hair.  After using it just once my hair does feel thicker. 

All in all this turned out to be a delightful little hand me down.

good hair days

My hair is not my favorite thing...even on it's best days it's super fine, doesn't really hold a curl and is currently in the growing out phase of bangs.  So when another blogger shared her reviews of some bun helpers, I opted to give it a try.  I chose to try out the Bunette in Brunette from Sephora and it totally worked for me!  It's easy to use and definitely gave my fine hair a boost in the volume department (on my own, my hair in a bun is about the size of a super bouncy ball, one of the small ones).  I may add, that I've only used it once in the privacy of my own home though, because it does take some maneuvering to get it just right and I tend to hit the snooze button instead of getting out of bed and being any kind of productive.

I also put a trial size set from Bumble and Bumble, with their sea spray and shampoo and conditioner. I do like it, I feel like my hair has more volume after use...although it doesn't seem like something I could use every day. Bumble and Bumble does seem a bit out of my budget, as my hair budget is somewhat nonexistent.

How long does it take to have a good hair day?  Are expensive products worth it do you think?  What are your go to hair care products?

I'd love it if you'd take a moment to share!
