hair on a budget « Beauty Frosting

I just used these 3 products from TRESemmé to attempt to get some va-va-voom volume into my fine hair and, y’all, it worked. And all in under 15 minutes. Here’s how.

I was so excited about the level of volume I achieved, I cut off the last few words of the video which were, “And this my friends…is what happens.” Cue Olivia Newton-John’s “Magic” right now, folks.

Speaking of music, I’m no rockstar…at least not outside of my shower but TRESemmé sure can make me feel like one. Oh, you know that TRESemmé. She’s always got totally delightful, doable DIY hair tutorials and giveaways for all. And when the VMAs roll around, her spirit of sharing only doubles with rocking out the tutorials for all of us.

BF Asks: Which look are you gonna try? My full blown volume, a pumped up pony, a super sleek look, rock ‘n roll waves or shine like a star?

Here’s a little secret. When you’re a beauty blogger, you try LOTS of products. Lots and LOTS and LOOOOOOTS of products. You know how you know which products make your favorites? When you use them over and over again even with thousands of products sitting around and when you go out and buy ‘em yourself.

That is exactly the case with my new hair cocktail for a comely coif: Dove Oxygen Moisture Shampoo ($4.98), Dove Oxygen Moisture Conditioner ($4.98) and Dove Oxygen Moisture Leave-In Foam ($5.98).

A Perfect Cocktail For A Comely Coif: Dove Oxygen Moisture Shampoo, Conditioner and Leave-In Foam

I’ve always been a fan of Dove and their Real Beauty campaign so I really wanted to like these products but still, I started with no expectations. After all, these products are a steal at under $6 each at Walmart! What could they really do for my hair?
Well, they did a lot. Let’s start with the shampoo and conditioner.

Real Volume. Real Beauty. Real Serious: Dove Oxygen Moisture Shampoo & Dove Oxygen Moistue Conditioner

Dove Oxygen Moisture Shampoo ($4.98) & Dove Oxygen Moisture Conditioner ($4.98): Made with Oxyfusion Technology, these products say they add moisture and shine to hair. And boy, do they! I’ll be honest. At first, I was a little worried. A little of the shampoo went a long way and it felt so moisturizing that I thought there was no way my fine hair would take it. But this surprised me! Even though it’s super moisturizing and conditioning-feeling in your hand, it rinses clean away leaving no residue or heaviness. I promise.

I found a fave coif cocktail in Dove Oxygen Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner!

Next, I applied the Dove Oxygen Moisture Leave-In Foam ($5.98), prior to blowdrying, concentrating on my roots. It claimed to increase hair volume by 95%. And it did, it did!! Really. Seriously. About a 100% increase in my opinion because I didn’t have to use velcro rollers at my roots for once. Hallelujah!

A little Kelly Kapowski but who cares. Volume, people. Volume. Hallelujah!

I wanted to give you guys authentic results so I only spent 10 minutes on my blowdry (because I know how busy we all are) and was wowed by the results. One trick? I blowdried my hair upside down – as I always do. I couldn’t believe the volume, body and fullness that my hair had. Sadly, that doesn’t happen every day so it’s kinda nice knowing that now it can.

Happy hair. Happy Girl. Thanks, Dove!

As if learning about these pretty products isn’t enough, they also have a great promotion where you can watch a Dove 2 Hair Stories video and save $1.50 off Dove products at Walmart! Check it out.
And, seriously, guys. If you want mega volume without the mega prices, check this line out. You’ll be glad you did.
I sure am.

xoxo,
BF

BF Asks: Like my blowing my hair upside down trick, do you have any hairstyling tricks? If so, I’d love to try ‘em!
