The Higher the Hair, the Closer to God

The title of this post is one of my favorite southern women sayings of all time, alongside "the bigger the bow, the better the mama" - which WILL be moi one day! If ya'll know me, you know I have an obsession with big hair...I think bigger, more volumized hair frames my face better, as well as most anyone's face.

Me and a few of my girl friends went on a spring break trip to beautiful Savannah, GA and while getting ready one morning, one of them noticed me teasing my hair every morning and wanted to know how I did it. Long story short, I have them all hooked on hair teasing now ;) God blessed me with true teasing talent! Truth be told, I hardly ever leave the house without teasing my hair just a little bit. Whether it be straight, hot-rolled, curling iron-curled, wavy, or in a ponytail....yup, teased baby.

With this being said, I'll share with ya'll some of my favorite hair products...

1. Kenra Finishing Spray 25 - Holy moly, this stuff is THE best hairspray out there. It's a salon brand and it is soooo worth every penny. It makes for the perfect hold/strength without being heavy or sticky, and even if you use "too much" of it by accident, it doesn't make you look like you have a helmet head. I usually tease my roots and spray with this, and I'm set!
2. Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly Wave Spray - I love love love this for wavy hair days. It doesn't leave your hair stiff and it smells really good too!

3. Herbal Essences Body Envy Volumizing Mousse - My hair is not really thin nor really thick, but it is always stuck flat to my head after I blow dry it. This mousse gives it a ncie little "prep-lift" before I start teasing ;)

4. Kenra Root Lifting Spray - Ok, so maybe I am a little biased towards lots of volumizing products, but what can I say! This spray is great to mist on right before you blow dry, it just aids in the lift. It's not gunky or sticky either - just don't glob it on too much!

5. Annnnnd finally - voila! The teasing comb...my magic wand. Only the Good Lord knows how much I love my teasing comb. Teasing can be done with a soft bristle brush too, but I prefer the teeth of the combs. Just rough up the roots of your hair and have at it!

Big hair = happy Caroline
