Historically my hair doesn’t hold curl. Early 90′s? Hairspray held my hair in any direction it was asked to with my mom at the helm of a curling iron; my bangs were no match for that power.

Then Brittany posted her tutorial for wavy, delicious locks.

I tried it.

Then I tried it again.

Then I did a rain dance, sat in a quiet circle for 30 minutes, and crossed my fingers to try it again. It worked.

Sweet success with super-fine follicles (just a mass of them) and the right combination. Which is exactly what Brittany outlined. So follow the rules.

By the end of the day it’s still wavy and beachy – just less bouncy.

And I think I’ll do it again. And again and again and again.

What are you finding that’s wildly changing your routine (or life, or outlook …) we all need a little pick me up, what’s yours lately?
