New Hair Style Savers

It’s been a very long time since I’ve made any drastic decisions when it comes to my hair, which is generally left long and air-dried since I’m too lazy for constant heat styling and can’t braid to save my life. I’ve even stopped colouring my hair late last year, after I received compliments on the ‘lighter colour’ when I actually just hadn’t dyed it since before my wedding!  The few grey hairs are still pesky (yes, I’m a young woman with silver strands of wisdom in my mop!) but overall nothing was really happening with my hair until I succumbed to my lust for a blunt fringe! The hairdresser was hesitant but I was adamant and I love how it’s made me care about my hair a bit more, and start using product more regularly.
I wake up each morning with the craziest looking fringe ever, so I generally wet it a little bit and then comb it down with my Tangle Teezer* (I have the Watermelon version, isn't it adorable?!) or my Lady Jayne Tangleze On-The-Go Detangling Brush*. After it's dried I either straighten it or just spray a mist of L'Oreal Elnett Satin Normal Hairspray* (this is the mini can!) which takes the spot of top hairspray so far throughout my trials (currently trialling some more to compare for you!) If I find that my fringe is a bit piecey and won't stop separating, my mini can of Batiste Tropical Dry Shampoo fixes it up. I also use the Girlz Only Dry Shampoo and am going to give the Tresemme Dry Shampoo a whirl next as I've heard it's pretty decent and it's on sale at Coles this week.
Having a fringe can be frustrating at times and isn't entirely low maintenance but so far I'm really happy with the change - I sometimes pin it back for work and it blends in with ease, so I can opt out of effort if I want to. My initial chop gave me a wispier fringe than I intended so we made it more blunt the second time around (picture on the top left is the most recent!) I have a few more hair posts in the pipeline and I would love to see your product recommendations in the comments as I'm a bit of a hair noob!

  1. Ahh, the tangle teezer looks adorable. You look beautiful with the fringe. I have always wanted to do a fringe but have been hesitant mainly because I dont have a lot of hair, I think it will not suit me :( Let me know how you go with the Pantene dry shampoo. I am keen on trying the Pantene one..

    1. The watermelon colour mix is gorgeous isn't it?! I'm so happy with my fringe, I have incredibly thick hair so the weight of it helps most of the time.

  3. Hey, way to rock the fringe! And the silvery strands of wisdom. :) I don't know what it is but never met a hairdresser who would cut my bangs without trying to dissuade me from the decision!

    1. Oh hey thanks Liz! I think hairdressers must have all had a scary experience with 'bangs' (LOL) and a customer who hated it immediately after, lol

  4. I love the Elnett hairspray. Out of the handful I have at home, that is my fave as it's not sticky but can hold the do. I'm sure I've mentioned before that I love your fringe. I haven't rocked a fringe since high school... I think I'm put off by the growing out process haha
