Yesterday, I shared the bounty of goodness that I received from Pantene to create my perfect festive hair. and today is time for the reveal! Did I go curly or straight? What products did I use?
From the Truly Natural collection, I opted for the Clarifying Shampoo {because it's been about two weeks since my last wash day and I've used quite a bit of product in my hair between then and now #dontjudgeme}. It smells great and left my hair and scalp clean, yet not stripped of it's natural moisture {which is hard to find with a clarifying shampoo}. After that I used the decadently thick and creamy Deep Conditioner - I have to tell you, my hair felt like silk after rinsing it out {I left it in for about ten minutes}, and it made detangling my hair a breeze. After I stepped out the shower, I was tempted to go ahead and use the Defining Curls Styling Custard, but...
I was still on the fence as to whether I was going to go for a curly hair style or straight. So I grabbed the Pantene Ultimate 10 BB Creme {a product I've been lusting over ever since I first saw an ad for it in a magazine. I don't even know how I hadn't managed to buy it thus far, but I'm certainly glad I have it now! I mean... BB Cream for you hair?!? Come on!} This magic cream moisturizes hair so that it can be easily styled and is free from static and flyaways {super important for curly girls}, helps to prevent damaged ends, and provides 10 benefits for your hair:
- Repairs Rough Hair
- Adds Strength Against Damage
- Adds Silky Softness
- Adds Brilliant Shine
- Smooths
- Adds Moisture
- Gives Frizz Control
- Offers Heat Protection
- Improves Manageability
- Tames Fly-Aways
I divided my hair in to four sections and applied a generous amount of BB Creme to each section, I then flipped my hair upside down and wrapped it in a old t-shirt to help it dry, preserve my curl pattern {in case I wanted to keep it curly}, and to give my roots some added volume {a good thing whether I was staying curly or going straight}. I was so pleased with how my curls looked after I unwrapped my hair, I decided to stay curly! I applied a very healthy amount of the luscious No Crunch Curls Whip Moisturizer/Styler and then flipped my hair again to spray it with a generous amount of the Flexible Hold Hair Spray {because I want my hair to stay looking this fab for as long as possible!}
Excuse my grandpa sweater and pajama pants, I always do my hair first, and then decide what to wear based on how it turns out! |
I was so enthused about how awesome my curls looked, I snapped this picture without even bothering to put on makeup! |
How could even think about straightening or manipulating these curls in any way- they look FANTASTIC! I added a little shine/shine with a dollop of the Shine Serum with Argan Oil { from the Truly Natural collection} and finished it with a spritz of the Kera Gloss Oil Mist and I was good to go {you know, if I was actually going anywhere}. I do know that this was a killer combination for my curls and I will definitely be following this routine again and again to achieve this look again. I may have had natural hair all of my life, but I'm surprisingly low maintenance with it - I'm a "wash and go" girl through and through. So it's great to know that there is a line up of products that will get me great results with minimal effort. Pantene, the World's #1 Hair Care Brand, is dedicated to keeping every woman's hair healthy, shiny and beautiful, and now I see the truth in that firsthand! Until next time...
