At least once a day I get asked what hair products I use and how I style my hair everyday. I generally try to answer them via email but I’ve had lots of requests to give more in depth instructions with photos. So today I am going to show you how I style my hair everyday. It takes a maximum of 10 minutes and almost never fails me. The only exception being when Kansas has the humidity of the Bahamas in the summer. At that point I look like Monica off of Friends. You don’t want to see what that is like.
Here are the products I used, as well as the lipstick color I am wearing. I chose these products only because I was having a really great hair day and didn’t need to use any of my more expensive products. I also added this shine serum after photos and my hair stayed shiny all day long. I also used a microfiber towel which helps eliminate frizz. I used to think all towels were equal but have learned that a $16 microfiber towel is worth the money.
If you have question please let me know. I will be doing more of these posts so please let me know what you want to know.

A microfiber towel you say? I'm going to have to get me one of those!

A towel that reduces frizz? I am intrigued. If I were to let my hair air dry it will start to turn into a wavy frizzy mess. I know my sister can get great natural curls, but I don't think I can. Well, I've never tried anyway. Maybe I should?

I love that you embrace your naturally curly hair instead of blow-drying it and straightening it/curling it everyday like most women would do. Your curls are perfect!

ooo! noted on the towel. my hair is straight as a board, so i'm just looking at this post longingly…..

Your hair always looks gorgeous! I'm jealous that it only takes 10 minutes to do your hair.

MUST. BUY. DIFFUSER!!!
Have you every tried drying your hair with a t-shirt? I heard it's a nifty way to not be so harsh on curly hair.
Again, thanks again for your tips!

My hairstylist specializes in curly/wavy hair, and he recommends using an old t-shirt to dry hair! Of course I'm lazy and haven't tried it yet…but he swears by it.

I wish my hair could curl this much – yours looks great!

I love your tips. My question: do you find that your hair gets crunchy with the mousse and the spray gel? Every time I use mousse and/or a gel, I end up with crunchy hair. Or worse- the pieces on top are crunchy, while the sections underneath aren't. I usually use Deva's ArcAngel product which works well…but it's not cheap.

Hey Debbi,
I have super curly hair and I think if you go with a mousee that says "curly" on it your in the good. I've used the one she recommends, herbal essence, and Marc Anthony curling mousse. Each of these has a slightly different affect but never crunchy. Gel makes my hair crunchy, I never use it. I use the mousse and a spray hair spray that is made for curly hair. Hope this helps.

Can you teach me how to get curls….like, any form of curls? My straight straw hair needs some serious love! xx

My hair isn't super curly, but one time I used a hairdryer on my hair without a diffuser and it was a disaster! I should get one! Also, I NEED a microfiber towel! Where has this been all my life?!

any recommendations on a cost effective hair dryer with a good diffuser? I've had the same hair dryer for years and it's starting to smell like something is burning in there!

I'll have to try that mousse… I already use the curl spray. My hair isn't as curly as you but I do have natural curl and would love to be able to bring it out more.

Eeeeeey pretty curly haired lady! I have so gotta try this. My mom usually curls my hair, because whenever I try to curl my hair with a curling iron, I end up making it look like I had bedhead. I AM SO BAD AT BEING A FEMALE FER GOSH SAKES!

Your curls are beautiful. Makes me wish I had some of my own!

Looks like I'm going to have to buy myself one of those microfiber towels! My hair gets incredibly frizzy (and gains SO much static) in the winter!
