Embrace 2020 36/365: lazy hair care

Want to know my hair secret? I wash and style it as infrequently as possible!

No joke, I get compliments on my hair pretty frequently (probably mostly due to @jordanvanhair's genius balayage), and it's usually at the peak of my lazy hair care cycle!

Allow me to explain: 1️⃣ Washing my hair is a pain in the ass because there is so much of it and I usually don't have the patience to dry it. 2️⃣ Washing my hair is an *extra* pain in the ass because for me stress manifests via dandruff (seriously, why!?) so doing the dandruff care routine (two washes with special shampoo + conditioner) is time consuming. 3️⃣ Solution = only wash my hair twice a week. 4️⃣ Each week I look at my schedule to see which days I need "good hair." I plan my shampoo days for the day BEFORE I need to have good hair so it has all day to air dry. 5️⃣ And then after I curl it, I try to get 3-4 days out of the curl. I style, spray it to hold the curl, and when I go to bed fan it out so I'm not laying right on it. This might sound complicated but it's amazingly, awesomely lazy.

This is my hair on Day 3 (wash Sunday, style Monday)... unwashed, slept on, and yes, I got compliments on it today. People apparently like the super loose wave!
