Welcome to Mommyhood

In all honesty, I have not always liked my hair; however, I was very grateful to have a full head of it and know exactly what to expect. I knew that it was going to be oily, have a funky curl that was necessary to blow straight, and that I was going to lose many strands once out of the shower...but mommyhood seems to have changed this (among the many, many others)! One of my perks of being pregnant was my "pregnant hair!" I am to this day envious of other pregnant ladies for the hair! Mine was so shiny and soft...and it grew so fast and long! I almost felt like a Pantene commercial!! :-)

Now however...I'm back to losing a glob of it after my showers and the curly-ness is most definitely intact, but lately, in addition to all of this loveliness, my hair has been soooo very dry, frizzy and flat out unmanagable!! Dry, frizzy, nappy curls don't really mix well in the south! Since "the nest" (as I now refer to it) is usually pulled back in a ponytail by say 9:00 am, I haven't given it much thought...until the other day! Who says blog stalking isn't time well spent!?!? I came across The Beauty Addict and she had a post titled "The Holy Grail of Hair Products!" I thought, "now this has to be for me!" It was a product called Creme de Cocoa Masque by Bumble & Bumble. B&B has become a new favorite of mine recently so again I was thinking, "this is definitely for me!" So off on my hunt I go! I saw Target with a few B&B items, but to no avail so next stop, BlueMercury in Perimeter Mall! And ding-ding-ding, they're a winner! Not only a winner but the girls in the store have all used it and raved about it!! So the $24 I was so hesitantly about to spend on 5 oz of coconut creme all the sudden seemed like a worthwhile investment!

So tonight was the big night! Directions say: use after shampooing and leave in for 7 minutes then rinse. So here goes nothing...

Results: I might just give my next born to the B&B scientists! As I was drying my hair, I could tell the difference and by the end, I was IN LOVE! I was as giddy as the school girl in 1st grade waiting for Kirk Adams to come sit next to me!!! Now my problem may be that I can't stop touching my hair! Hello again pregnant hair (well, minus the itty bitty)! Just think...if I keep using this when I get pregnant (should that day come), I just may well be in a Pantene commercial! :-)

So the tag line is: A weekly indulgence for softness and gloss...Words can't describe how soft, silky and glossy Creme de Cocoa Masque leaves hair - you just have to feel for yourself! And I agree!!! Now if only someone could tell me the perfect length for my bangs!
