The Great Hair Experiment of 2010 (pics tomorrow)
So, ever since I have gotten this haircut I have noticed 2 things consistently.
1. My hair looks FABULOUS after I sleep on it. If I could figure out a way to not touch or brush my hair after I wake up in the morning I would be thrilled.
2. With hair this short I do need to wash it every day.
So the experimentation begins. This morning, I just washed my bangs and then blew them dry. This was actually a bigger painintheass then washing my hair and styling it. And it took as long.
So, I am going to wash my hair right before I go to bed tonight (but not dry it) and see how it looks in the morning. If it looks ***, I will wash it tomorrow night but dry it before bed.
If I could cut dealing with my hair out of my morning routine it would be awesome.
This post of randomness and limited interest brought to you by the slow hospice care death of the board.

I only blow dry my bangs. Everything else I let air dry.
Why does having it shorter make you have to wash it more frequently? Is it just because you're continuously touching it?

My hair is way too dark and reddish. That's all I've got.
Cali, for some reason even slightly greasy roots are more noticeable to me at this length. I assume because if my hair is sort of limp at this length you can really tell but when it was super long you it wasn't as noticeable.
Fallin, what did you do?

SkiCC, probably. The dry shampoo I have now is black, and my hair is currently sort of a dark auburn, so I have not experimented with that yet.

I haven't had my hair cut/colored since before we left for Peru. It's grown-out, and bleached from the sun and pool, with lots of dark roots and gray. I finally got an appointment for next week, and am so excited you have no idea. Whoo-hoo! Big night at the salon!
Mod, I just use the cheap, white dry shampoo. The funny thing is that I asked at my salon, and they recommended the same thing, and were selling it for a slight mark-up. One of the women there said she tried all types, and this works as well and isn't strongly scented, so why not?

I'm happy with my hair. That's mainly because it's lovely - the color is great - I went darker (auburny/chestnut) so I no longer match Miles, and the cut is fantastic. I happen to have awesome hair. Really, it's my best quality. That, and my winning personality and zest for life, of course.
I never wash my hair in the morning. I wash and blow dry at night, only because I'm very lazy and really don't want my morning routine to take more than 25-30 mins. It normally looks good enough in the morning, though definitely better when it's freshly styled.
I'm really lucky I have good hair because I'm completely unwilling to do anything to it. I wash it every two days (or when I get sweaty in between), brush it when I get out of the shower, and I usually brush it in the morning when I get out of bed. I would say I forget to do that at least 15% of the time. The only bad thing is that when I do have the occasional bad hair day, I have no idea what to do with it and I end up looking like a bag lady.
Mod, if you have a great cut (and you do) I bet it does look good after you've slept on it. I'd go the dry shampoo route if you think it needs some drying out in the morning.
The nerve!

Nov your comment about no longer matching Miles made me LoL re Babs hairdye baby comment of yesteryear.
I colored my hair over the weekend. Out of a box. It's an auburn color and everyone keeps telling me how great it looks and how much better I look with my natural color....I'm naturally a blonde.
My mom's hair is naturally auburn and I do have her skin tone but my dad's hair color. I'm just smiling and taking the compliment as I hope it was intended.
I can keep that almost just out of bed look fullness by putting a large, loose clip and collecting most of the side hair and about half the top. Not too tight because it can damage your hair. (what ever happened to scrunchies)
Wash it at night and then put in up. When you take it down it will be in a soft style, unlike heated curlers, rods or irons.
I suspect this is because of Mississippi's heat and humidity. You should move somewhere more conducive to easy hair. May I suggest San Diego?

I believe we were promised pictures.
I'd also like to see Moo's.

Results were acceptable but ultimately disappointing. I will try again tonight but blow dry my hair before bed. Please excuse dorky expressions and bad skin. I had been awake for about 10 minutes.

the overall style to your hair looks great out of bed. Mine is stuck to my neck in a sweaty tangled mess.
I am considering chopping my hair off. It ends up pulled out or clumped together with saliva or spit up all the time.
