Amazing Hair Find!

Around $8

I'm really excited about this new product I recently picked up at Target so I had to share. It's Nexxus Pro Mend Split End Binding Targeted Leave-In Treatment Creme (long name I know). I read about it in the latest issue of Glamour and since it's only around $8 I figured I'd give it a try. My hair splits pretty easily and I'm always distracted by the ends between cuts. You put this stuff on when your hair is damp after a shower and style as usual. I was pretty much amazed- it really works! It glues your ends together but it doesn't interfere with texture- it's not sticky or hard just normal nice hair. It smells good too. I don't usually use any products in my hair so if you use a bunch of them (some of my friends have like 10!) I'm not sure if this would fit in. Anyway- I think it's worth a try!

Meredith & I with our hair feathers

Have you ever seen feather hair extentions? They're really gaining popularity here in Austin. My friend Meredith and I had the opportunity to get feathers put in our hair during a SXSW party. Scarlett from Hearts and Robots did mine and I chose a bright pink feather- it's a feather in your hair so why not? The feathers are basically clamped into a few strands of hair and evidently stay in for up to 5 weeks. If you get sick of it you can take it out before then. A lot of salons here in Austin are now offering feather extentions. They usually cost around $20. I also found this handy tutorial if you want to try it yourself or see how it's really done. What do you think of this look? For me it's a fun way to change up my hair without dying it or getting a drastic cut but it's not a look I'll always want.
