![]() My hair has been short for all of my adult life, and I’ve spent all of that time looking for the perfect combination of hair products - despite the dream that single (expensive) products sell me, it takes at least two products to get the hair that I want. When it comes to styling my hair, there’s nothing more important or more challenging than volume. Once it’s as straight as I can get it, I add about a dime-to-nickel-sized dollop of Old Spice paste or TRESemme creme, run it through my hair with my hands, and finger comb everything to the side. I personally like to have my hair stand up a little, so I straighten my hair it upwards for volume. ![]() I put about a quarter-size dollop of the Flatiron Express and run my fingers through my hair, let it air dry for about 15 minutes, and then use my CHI Damp to Dry Straightener. ![]() In the summer, I swap the paste for TRESemme Anti-Frizz Smoothing Creme.Īfter showering, I squeeze as much excess water out of my hair as possible - but when I first comb through to get any tangles out, my hair is still pretty damp. I’ve been using the same flatiron cream and paste for the past four years - at least in the autumn and winter, when there’s less humidity in the air. The paste is great because it doesn’t make my hair hard or greasy just gives it medium hold and a “messy” look. I use Garnier Fructis Brazilian Smooth Flatiron Express, then style it with Old Spice Paste. I’m weaning off of hairspray because it flattens my hair, but on windy days or when a cowlick sticks out, I spray TRESemme Extra Hold for good measure. The hold is strong enough to keep my hair in place while still having a pliable, natural look. Then, while my hair is slightly damp, I take a fingertip of Night Rider, rub it through my hands, and slick my hair back, up, and to the right (I do this quickly because when the product dries, it gets sticky). I blow dry for about 30 seconds, combing the opposite way to add volume. Right out of the shower with wet hair, I use my wife’s Briogeo Rosarco Heat Protectant Creme, which makes my hair silky and smells sweet and flowery. Kevin Murphy products are $15-$20 more online for some reason, so I recommend hunting down a salon that stocks his brand. When I ran out of Fiber recently, I bought Kevin Murphy Night Rider from my salon, which is softer and easier to run through my hair than Fiber, though more expensive. It has a high hold and matte finish, which keeps my fine waves in place without looking wet the only thing is that it’s waxy, so you really have to emulsify it to get it into dry hair. I tried a lot of crappy products before I found American Crew Fiber. The Autostraddle Encyclopedia of Lesbian Cinema. ![]() LGBTQ Television Guide: What To Watch Now. ![]()
