Wedding Planning: The Hair

Creme de Coco
The wedding is 4 months away and my hair is still in pretty bad shape, not to mention very SHORT!

The last time I cut it (I know, I know, you want to see pictures, but trust me there is not much to see!) I went short because I wanted to get rid of all the damaged ends and also to, supposedly, strengthen the hair itself.

Well, almost 5 months after that cut, the hair is still not that great looking.  :(

The good news is that I was loosing hair which now looks like it's all growing back, except that it's all about 2 inches long, and I'm just praying that by August it at least reaches my chin. We'll see... 

In the meantime, I'm killing the hair with over conditioning like there is no tomorrow (don't ask me why, I'm just doing it to feel good). 

My hair is very frizzy, too, so at least the conditioning is somewhat taming the frizz. 

I'm using not one, not two, but three different deep conditioning products:

1) One of those tube conditioner that comes in your box of home hair color. I find these conditioners to be so good and they always smell great. Because my hair is pretty short, a tube can last for a while.

2) A Neutrogena deep conditioner.

3) The Bumble and Bumble Creme De Coco Masque. I love this masque! I've been wanting to buy it for years (no kidding!) but the price was always a turn off, $24, and the fact that there wasn't a Bumble store close to me made it more difficult for me to cave in and buy it. Of course as soon as Sephora started carrying the Bumble and Bumble brand, I couldn't resist anymore, and I bought it - well, my honey got it for me  ;) And, holy crap! Why did I wait so long? I had a feeling I was going to love it because of the coconut smell, but the product is also great. It leaves my hair soft and smelling like a sunny day at the beach!

And when I say over-conditioning, I mean it! I am basically applying deep conditioners every time I wash my hair (every other day) and I rotate all three products as I feel like it, and you know what? I'm loving it!

I feel like I'm really pampering myself every time in the shower, and I don't think I'm doing any harm to the hair (really, the way it is it can only get better!).

Hopefully it will grow a few inches before August, so I can have a nice style for the day.

Ps. No, I haven't bought the dress yet... why? What's the rush?  ;)

Pampering is good! Crossing my fingers you grow the length you need - on average hair grows 1/2 inch per month. Remember you can always buy the hair you need!

Are you influenced at all by the recent UK wedding?

Best to you & honey!
