Badass Hair Review: John Frieda Full Repair Touch-Up Flyaway Tamer

I'd been wanting to try this for a while, since short, broken pieces of hair that stand on end are the bane of my otherwise smooth hair's existence. So when it went on sale on Amazon for less than $2, I was on it. Right now it's about $4 on Amazon, but that is still the best place to get it, since it is usually $7-9 elsewhere.

It's not a lot of product, but it works. It contains a little more than your average tube of mascara and has a similar style brush, though quite a bit fatter. You just take the brush and swipe it over the flyaways in the direction you want them to lie, and that's it. It's simple. At first, it can look a little wet where you've used the product, but that disappears quickly. Make sure not to drag the brush right through your hair from the scalp - just catch the flyaways and lightly comb them against the top of your hair. Use a light touch, or you'll leave too much behind. It keeps the pieces in place really fucking well. The three photos below were all taken on the same day.

Scary Hair Product

Okay, so apparently don't buy Garnier Fructis Style Sleek & Shine Blow Dry Perfector. But DO read this article about it, because it is hilarious.

So, Influenster is this site where you sign up, and if you have a web presence (blog, Twitter, whatever), you can earn badges for various interests, and they might send you shit to review. Not just beauty stuff - there are badges for food, wine, gaming, outdoorsiness, wedding-planning, etc. I am apparently officially a beauty blogger, so I got a box full of beauty shit.

Badass Hair: Suave Professionals Dry Shampoo Spray

Dry shampoo is awesome in general. But some brands are more awesome than others. One of the cheapest and awesomest is made by Suave and costs less than $4.

If you’re lazy and don’t feel like washing your hair, you can keep it going for another day or so with this stuff. You just shake it, spray it on your roots, and rub it in. It is pretty strongly scented, but I actually like the smell a lot. If you are not a fan of citrusy scents, though, this might not work for you. But it smells the best of any of the inexpensive dry shampoos I’ve tried, in my opinion.
