How to Get Great Post-Workout Hair Without Washing it

I love to work-out during my lunch break. It's the perfect time, because I can't wake up early enough to squeeze my work-out in before work and after work I am go straight home to be with my family. When a work-out is done mid-day, it was always a challenge to get my hair somewhat back to normal (especially because I don't have time to shower on my break). I found a couple of tips to get hair back to normal post-workout without a shower. Here's how:
1. Spritz a little bit (maybe 5 pumps) of spray gel onto the outermost layer of the hair. Don't use a gel that's very concentrated!
2. Wrap a medium-sized section of hair around a round brush and roll it away from the scalp. Hold a hair dryer at the roots of the hair to add extra volume.
3. Leave the hair wrapped around the brush to cool. Repeat with other sections of hair on the sides of your head.
4. Hold the dryer about 6 inches from the ends of your hair to add volume back to the ends. This only takes about 20 seconds!

Ombre Hair is IN



I'm all about Fall fashion. It is my favorite time of the year and there is nothing about Fall that I don't like. There are so many great things about it that I really just can't get enough: the apple cider, football games, new fashion trends, Halloween, cool weather, and of course the copious amount of meals I make in the crock pot.

Anyway, I've been seeing this "ombre" look everywhere and I absolutely fell in love with it! This is a French trend (go figure, everything awesome starts there, they are the fashion capital of the world...) So many celebs are trying this out (think Khloe Kardashian). You can make this work whether you want to go bold or try something a little more nonchalant. Think of your job, too, before you go too bold! During the warmer months, go for lighter and brighter shades and in the colder months of winter, try out ash tones. Have fun with this and post some pics if you get this done--I'd love to see!
