No-heat T-shirt smooth out!

tshirtheadThis is one of those little routines that I have been doing for so long and it is so engrained, that I didn’t even think to share it until now. Sort of like the Ponytail facelift.

I had fun nerding out while I shot this tutorial. My goal was to tell a story with photos so I got creative with props and things.

This is the trick for wavy, unruly, loose curls and hair that needs a little taming.  I use it on days when I want to smooth out my weird waves into a more polished finish.

I don’t use heat on my hair, ever. It is a personal choice that went along with my decision to stop fighting and start honoring my hair. So I have found other ways to style my hair. And this one is fool proof. What you will need is a tee-shirt and a boar bristle paddle brush. I love my Costco Calvin white T and my Mason Pearson brush. (The Denman brush is the more affordable version.)

The gist of this is that after showering, you wrap your hair up in your t-shirt like rasta mama and go about your business. The soft cotton absorbs the water without roughing your hair all up so that it is smoother when it dries. After an hour or so of doodling about with your rasta mama head wrap, take it down. Now get your brush ready, and give your hair a thorough and vigorous brushing to smooth it out even more. Let it air dry till it is almost completely dry, then add whatever smoothing product you like best (I like liquid gold smoother) and brush once more.

Smooth, healthy, and shiny!!!!

Your welcome, hair. XOXOXO
