One of the huge frustrations in my life, dating back to around 5Th grade, is my hair. I have fine, straight, thin, limp hair. Now for all you thick, curly haired people, don't hate. It is much better to have thick hair, you can always thin it out. For curly hair, you can always straighten it, yes it may take a while, but at least it will stay that way. OK, I've had my pity party. Everyone has frustrations with their own hair, and I know everyone wishes for what they don't have. My hope is that some of my little tips will help alleviate some of your frustrations.
Baby Powder...yes, regular old baby powder. This is my secret to achieving perfect "second day hair". If you are one of those people who shampoo your hair every day, try this trick. (Side note:Shampooing and styling every day can cause color to fade faster and too much heat styling can damage your hair.) Instead of shampooing every day sprinkle a small amount of baby powder in your hands, rub together, flip your head over, and then rub your hands through the top and sides of your scalp. The baby powder will soak up any excess oils and give your hair an instant lift. Now, for those of you that shampoo every couple days, baby powder can still refresh your hair and give you lift and ease when styling.
A few things to be conscience of,

A few things to be conscience of,
- Baby powder can "matte" out your hair. You might want to add a little shine spray to your finished style. I recommend S Factor Shiny Happy People Shine Spray .
- If you have brown to dark brown hair you might want to try a hair powder that is tinted. The white baby powder does not blend as well in darker hair. I recommend Bumble and Bumble Hair Powder in blondish. I know what you are thinking, 'blondish, that will be too light'. Trust me, it is darker than you think.
- Remember to give yourself a thorough shampoo the next time you wash your hair. Build up can occur if any powder is left on your scalp.
