I am really sorry...

...but only in a dream world does amazing hair take zero effort. In the summer time I tend to get requests like this.."I want really easy hair. I don't have time to blow dry, I hate using product, and I don't want to put any time into styling. It just needs to look great out of the shower." Hmmm...now we all know I am a HUGE advocate of quick and easy hair, and the right cut and hair texture really can look pretty good just air dried and untouched, but if you want head turning hair, or hair that is near perfect, it takes a bit of work.

Now I am not claiming everyday needs an hour or two devoted to your hair, but there should be a time each day that you take some time to fix it. This is why my tutorials are usually dedicated to quick do's that actually fool people into thinking you spent much more time than you actually did. Another way to trick them? My favorite little tip of not washing everyday. Cut out wash and blow dry time and you have much more time to devote to the styling of your hair. And my final tip? Good hair needs product. That is why they make fabulous hair products, because they work. Take my tools and products away and I would be in a world of hurt. So if you are anti styling products, start small, say with a heat protectant. After you see what it does for your hair you might just be converted.

So basically I just wanted to point out that if you see someone who has hair you love, chances are they spent some time on it, but getting a good cut, the right products, and washing less, will put you on the road to perfect hair in half the time.
