Would you use a styling product that worked perfectly with your hair but made your skin break out?
This question came across my mind as I listened to a fellow curly talk about her regimen. She loves a Tresemme mousse that makes her 2c/3a hair look amazing. Perfect definition, lots of body, not too much crunch and a great smell. The only problem? It makes her forehead breakout in cystic acne. As I watched her do her hair she half-jokingly told me, "I love my skin, but I love my hair so much more." If she likes it, I love it. Personally, I would toss the mousse. While my hair is important, I can always search for another product to give my hair similar results. Clearly my beloved five-head and I are together for life. Plus I think it's a little ridiculous to search for products to combat unnecessary breakouts.
If I had to choose between A) leaving the house with a full face of make-up (foundation, powder and etc.) and perfect hair or B) leaving the house with minimal make-up and good hair, I'd choose B every time. Am I the only cracking up at the fact that this is being written on hair blog?
Hey Girl!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. The best thing about being naturally curly is that if you "mess up," you always have a safety style i.e. Wet bun, puff, W&G. When my skin is a mess it really takes a toll on the way I feel about myself.
Hi Lisa!
DeleteThanks for commenting, I fell off blogging but I'm back :D
Anyway, I agree and that's one of my favorite things about being natural...you always have multiple back ups. When my relaxed hair got messed up, it was messed up until I could home and flat iron or roller set.
