Hair Thursday - Vol. 2.14
Written by whoorl · Filed Under hair thursday, photos
Will you take a look at this woman?
It’s been several months, but I think it’s time to induct another participant into the Hair Thursday Fishing For Compliments Hall of Fame.
Cue lights! Fanfare! Trumpeteers!
Congratulations, Sarah! Your hair is so lovely that I just might weep.
That is her natural color, people! NOT FAIR, SARAH.
I’m totally pissed.
Obviously, Sarah doesn’t need much help with the color/style issue, but she did have questions about products. She currently owns a hair dryer and a flat iron, but doesn’t know what (if any) products to use while styling her hair. Judging from her photo, I don’t think she needs to use tons of different products on her hair. Since it’s so texturized, she could run the risk of weighing it down, but I do have a couple of recommendations that could make all the difference.
First off, Cutler Protectant Treatment Spray is AWESOME. I just started using it myself, and it does an excellent job of detangling and protecting my hair from heat styling and the sun. And don’t even get me started on the the scent. Honestly, I don’t wear perfume, but if I did, it would smell exactly like this. Light, fresh and clean. In fact, I might just start spraying it all over my damn body. Excuse me for a second.
The treatment spray would be a perfect way for Sarah to protect her gorgeous locks when busting out those styling tools or spending time out in the sun. Another product that I would recommend for her (or anyone who has texturized ends and/or flyaways) is the Cutler Fly-Away Stick, which would add smoothness and shine on days when she’s dealing with frizz (HELLO, summertime is on its way). Just rub a little bit between your fingers and work it through the rogue parts of your hair.
Cool? Cool.
(Sarah, let me know if you try out the products. Seriously, the scent alone is fantastic.)
Our next participant is Maui.
Maui’s hair:
Black, straight, very fine
Has grown-out layers mixed throughout
Wears ponytails all day, every day
Prefers longer hair
Maui’s a new mother, so I understand her preference to keep it longer in order to pull it off her face, BUT I think she needs to take off several inches.
In fact, the illusion of shorter length in her first photo confirms my thoughts. Taking those inches off will give her hair so much more vitality (HATE THAT WORD) and many more styling options. Maybe cutting it to the length of the bottom of the black stripe in the second photo. Oh yeah. That would look good.
Orrrr what about a little shorter with layers around the face? With a little curling iron action for extra oomph?
It’s a toughie. What do you think?

May 8th, 2008 2:50 pmI sooo wish that was my natural color! Instead I’m constantly coloring and staying out of the sun to get that to LOOK like my natural color! And I second the Fly-Away Stick idea. I use a product with similar ingredients by Cusco-Murphy and it’s great for texturizing and keeping the rogue hairs at bay!

May 8th, 2008 3:08 pmSarah’s hair is gorgeous! I’ve been bored with my hair lately and looking for inspiration. I totally just found it with Sarah’s photos! Seriously, her hair is so amazingly cute I keep scrolling back to the photos to take another peak. Too bad her style would never work with my curly hair, but maybe some version of it would. Food for thought!

maui, i totally agree about the inches. seriously, just chop it off and i think you’d be like whoa…i am a HAWT momma! it could be the most simple cut that would do wonders for you.

May 8th, 2008 5:25 pmThe scent of the Cutler products is FANTASTIC. When they washed my hair with the shampoo last week, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I LOOOOOVE both the treatment and volumizing sprays! Now considering investing in the shampoo/conditioner.

May 8th, 2008 5:53 pmI’m totally blushing. I guess I have my son to thank for the compliments because of him, I rarely have time to get it cut, so I accidentally let it grow out (oh, and I should thank my parents for the genetics).
Whoorl, thanks so much for the product recommendations. I’m pulling them up on Amazon right now to order. I love yummy smelling stuff!

May 9th, 2008 3:59 amFor Maui chopping those few inches off to get to Option #1 would make a world of difference!
Option #2 strikes me as potentially too much work for a new Mom (but I don’t have kids so what do I know?) since with Maui’s straight hair it might require too much curling-iron fussing to make it happen.

May 9th, 2008 4:03 ammaui - i agree with kat - i think a few inches would take you from hot to HAWT.
and sarah, i used to spend a lot of money every month to try to get my hair the same color as yours - lucky you! but not only is the color gorgeous, the cut is just adorable. i’m going to keep your picture bookmarked for when i go short!

May 9th, 2008 5:16 pmI think that would give my left boobie for hair that color. And my left boobie was not cheap, so that says a lot for how gorgeous I find that shade of red.

OT: Whoorl - I know you rarely use one, but would you mind to recommend a hair dryer? I’ve been using the same one since high school (embarrassing) and would like to upgrade. Thanks!
