Hair care tips with Mae!

Hi there,

Recently I did a poll on Instagram asking you guys what you'd like to see on my next blog post, and I was asked to do a blog on my hair! So here I am. Let me begin by telling you that I'm middle eastern.. so my hair grows very very VERY fast.. like.. VERY fast. I usually try to not straighten or curl my hair everyday and never airdry my hair. I'll walk you through what I do in the shower and as well as what products I use for different styles! now go grab a cup of coffee and lets do this!

In the shower, I used hot water and no conditioner.. I know, my hair is weird. I usually use these two shampoos and then wash my hair and when I get out of the shower, I wrap my hair with a towel for 5 minutes because I absolutley hate the feeling of wet hair. After my hair is no longer super wet, I spray the detangler below and then this heat protectant. I can't really apply any more product or oils because my hair type wont allow that. I have lots of hair, but thin hair so if I apply conditioner or oils, my hair will look super greasy and gross.

After that, I usually dry my hair with the dryer below and then brush it after it's dry.. if I brush and dry, my hair tangles up.

HAIR STYLES

Style #1: Same in and after the shower routine as written above, but now after drying, I used this curling iron for some waves. Again, I can't put too much product in my hair, so I did not use any hair spray or extra oils or in my case.. any oils at all. I LOVE this curling Iron so much! I use it at it's highest setting because if I don't, my hair will take 6 hours to curl since I have so much of it. After curling my hair, I brushed it out and then sectioned the top of my hair and tied it up with a hair tie and then curled the piece in the pony one more time and then seperated the ponytail into two sections and oulled them up to give me a water fountain/poof.

Style #2 & 4:

Once again, using the same curling iron, I curled my hair, but this time on a medium heat setting which took me way longer! I definately feel like this hair style is a good everyday hairstyle (if you have time)! after curling my hair, I once again, brushed it out and then sprayed some dry shampoo (this one is my favorite) to give my hair some volume.

Style #3 & 5:

For this hair style, I again, do the same shower routine but I use a hair straightner! This one is my favorite and I have been loving it since I got it (which was around 3 years ago). I got mine at ulta and got the thinner version since my hair is thin! I have naturally straight hair so this takes me way less than curling my hair.

Style #6:

Once again, I straighten my hair for this style, but use a little touch of magic to make my ponytail sleek. I use this from target with this brush to make my baby hairs stick to my head and not be all up in the air. This does not make your hair sticky or stiff which is why it's my absolute favorite! These three pieces are THE BEST when it comes to my hair and my ponytails. If I use any other brush, my hair will not stay down all day and if I don't use this wax, my ponytails would never turn out so sleek. Lastly, these hair ties will give your hair a little bit of volume and are super nice if you have lots of hair like me! I highly recommend these items!

I hope you enjoyed this blog post! I'm done with my cup of coffee and need to go get another one!

With much love,

Mae.
