do you get your hair thinned? i have really unruly hair and when I get my hair thinned with thinning shears it really works miracles. I dont know many products that would make blowdrying easier ... cause I honestly wear my hair in a bun almost everyday, lol
chi silk infusion, i used to wear my hair up like you all the time cos it was soooo thick but since using the chi product it was so much smoother and a million times more sleek xx
Hey, Brooke. Do you have any pictures od your hair like this? My mom is harping me to get a haircut, and i LOVE your hair like this. If you do, can you upload it to tinypic or something and them send me the link, or something? It doesn't makker how you send it, i just really want my hair like this! Thanks!! LOVE your personality! Hope that Crazy eye and Angel return to you soon
candles by victoria makes a candle that smells just like honey i washed the kids.. it's called honey i washed the youngins. i would check it out if you haven't already!
I feel your pain it usually takes me 1-2 hours to straighten my hair. Plus i have layers and they curl inwards and no matter how much i straighten them they dont go straight. But after i straighten my hair i use Sunsilk Frizz Control. It is a green bottle and u just use a pea size amount and gently rub it through your hair and it works great! Thanks for the vids.
i have da same EXACT problem. my hair has TOO TOO much volume though! but to creep my hair controlled i use john frieda these r da pbest products that u could find. i use the fizz ease one cuz i have FRIZZ everywhere!!! but it is an amazin collection. nd i dont use any special straightener its just con air!
Im so glad you talked about posh brushes..ive been using them for a while and nobody seemed to know about them but they are pretty good especially for the price.
I have super thick hair and had that same problem!! I use Regis's design line? i think thats the brands name but their silk drops, medium hold flat iron spray and smooth out?
my hairs thick what i do is get it thinned out and when blowdryin my hair i blowdry it straight and straighten in sections it then to add volume to the top i take a bit of my top layer and back comb it from the underneathe.. i hope this was useful n u undestood lol xx
Try using Paul Mitchell's Super Skinny line. It helps with smoothing and also helps your hair actually dry faster. It really works too. It cuts your drying time tremendously. Good luck! Hope it works for you!
right on w/ the Vaseline- petroleum has gotten a bad rap lately, but if it's safe to put into food (as the FDA says petroleum is) then it's safe for your lips.
You can actually make your own glosses by mixing Vaseline with a drop or two of flavor oils- get the ones in the teeny tiny bottles that are made for making candy. Mints and cinnamon can burn if you use too much, so go slow! Add color by adding mineral pigments, powder eyeshadow or blush, even dark lipsticks!
Next time you go to your hairdresser, ask them to take some of the "weight" out (cutting into it with a razor or scissors) of the lower layers of your hair, so the lower layers will be easier to manage and straighten, but you'll still have volume at the top of your hair.
Apparently a product " Big Sexy Hair Root Pump Plus, Volumizing Mousse " will do the trick for you that you're looking for as far as volume in the back of your hair goes. If you apply it in the back of your hair at the roots, work it in, and tease, I've heard it works wonders for volume. Google it!
Some people straighten there hair upside for a little volume. After the shower maybe put a volumizing mousse on the crown (top) of your head. Then use a straightening serum [with silicone because it straightens hair better] or straightening balm. After all that dry hair and straighten hair upside down. (I'm not sure how it'll go but ya. I get my hair layered so I can easily add volume easily, and my hair isn't as thick.
Regarding the PedEgg, read your instructions again...it clearly states that you are to use ONLY on clean, DRY, and moisture free skin. DRY, not wet and straight from the shower.
Use Got2b's sleek and shine.... or something like that. It makes your hair easier to straighten and keeps it straight all day while protecting from heat.
Use some kind of wax for your hair to get the layers visible. I use redkens grit wax. Works great. Run a tinybit through your hair to get it pieced and ...layery? aha.
And for volume blowdry and hairpray your hair upside down. Then tease it by backcombing underneath the top layers. Then brush over it lightly and you'll have great volume(:
Your hair is nice, but if you want it thinner than ask your stylist to razor your hair...and i use john frieda straightening balm, its nice...works good.
ooo you should try asking your stylist to thin out your hair the next time you get your cut. they usually take out a lot of weight from the bottom layers of your hair =)
Same type of hair here too, Brooke!!!! It can't make up its mind if it wants to be curly of straight-finiky little bi*ch!!!! ANYWAY, I use the chi moisture shampoo, and silk infusion, a root pump mousse (turn my head upside down and work it from root to end) and it seems to help me. Good luck!
WAT DA FOOK. Stupid youtube didn't post my comment! *pouts* Youtube, you dbag! ANYWAYZ
AWW BROOKIE COOKIE (yes, new name for youuu!) HAS HER HAIR DOWN!
When you straighten it, to get volume up yander.. when you straighten pull the hair upward and when you start out at the root, curve the straightener so it makes a bump in your hair. Only do it on the layers right before the top layer and a little on the top, it makes it all big and lovely.
Oh thats good to know they last awhile, they better for the price! No I havent tried the jellies yet, I actually haven't found a scent of them that I love, which do you like?
for your hair, i'd reccomend the garnier fructis ''instant melting masque''. I'ts chezp, super-duper moisturizing, perfect when your lazy, cause you dont even have to put conditionner (even though you could) and it makes your hair soft and sleek. But it doesnt do much for volume. What I use for volume is a good hairspray (herbal essence ones are really good) and I tease with a comb. good luck :)
I think your hair looks gorgeous down aswell as up, I cant wait ti see your tutorial on how you put your hair up i can never get mine to look like that.
I have really thick hair which I get thinned when I go to the hairdressers you should try it, its great for reducing the weight of your hair. Also I have GHD to thank for my straight hair, this straightner is a must have
after reading all the comments Im wishing I had gotten more hair taken out in the thinning! She just took out a little bit, but I didnt realize you could do a lot. I would LOVE to just have less hair!
use a round brush upwards to create volume at the crown of your head and tease if you are still wanting more. the big & sexy hairspray is great for that! Try a root lifter for the volume i like the Nich Chavez flocker or fekkai has one too. Also wash your hair less in order to cut down on the "chore" of straightening/styling your mane, that way the following day is just touch ups :)
ghd straightener!!! and have you hair thinned out at the bottom and leave it at the top.... and when u straighten your hair make the sections pretty small/thin... you'll get quicker.. it used to take me hours to straighten mine
Coconut Milk serum, you can get it at like CVS, Wal-Mart, etc. It's good for smoothing out thick hair, i have the same hair as yours. But i use that to get out some of the volume.
Haha Brooke. Round 2 of threading coming asap. I'll keep you posted.
I want the Ped Egg, I've been meaning to get it for awhile and now I will after this! I have really rough heels :(
As for the HIWTK scent - Honey Trap lip balm is very similar, I think. I also think Mange Too massage bar and Ma bubble bar also smell like it. So there - now you have a few more products to check out :)
As for hair, don't get skinny serum! Get Paul Mitchell Quick Slip. Cuts my drying time in HALF.
Oh my gosh!! Is that Ped-Egg not the bestest?!?!? I absolutely love it!!!! And you should definitely try those bump-its....as soon as I can remember to (lol), I am getting me some! I have a lot of hair as well and don't think covering them will be a problem! LOL
You should try CHI silk infusion. You put it in before you straighten and it helps so much! Also to get the volume on top with a straightner you can hold the straightner in a way like to curl your hair under with a curling iron but with straightner at your roots for a second that will help with volume at the roots! Hope that helps!!! Thanx for making your videos!
Unfortunetly vaseline is really comedogenic so its a bad idea to use it, especially on your face. The molecules are also too thick to be absorbed into your skin so it doesnt actually condition lips its more of a barrier!
I love Vaseline for my feet, too. I used to use it on my lips until I realized it is made from crude oil. It's just refined black oil! Yuck! But it is great at softening.
babe u need to get the straighteners. but when when u straighten it. u straighten the bottom part of the hair first. dont start with the roots. also i recommend redken product.
dead skin grader haha ur too funny and i love the hair and im glad your feeling better and yess that honey soap is to die for i just almost finished mine which i got in like dec so should last a long time :)
can you do a review video for your flat iron and i looooove redken volume boost mousse , i cant go look at the number because my bf is in the shower but it is awesome you spray the mousse on your roots then rub it in then blow dry your hair upside down then flat iron it AMAZING it equals love i have a mid length choppy bob and this is my favorite way to add volume
i LOVE the T3 blowdryers, my hair is like yours, plus it seriously gets HUGE from most blowdryers, the t3 seriously dries my hair insanely fast and without all the poof. and if youre not down with teasing your hair for volume, you could get some shorter top layers (think *scene* hair, if you will just less extreme) and pull those layers straight up with the straightener and to the back. (i can go more in depth if the idea of shorter layers at all interests you haha)
I love your hair down! =) I have a similar hair style/cut. I use matrix vavoom height of glam voluminzing foam when my hair is damp then blow dry on medium heat and when the front area near the bangs is almost dry, blow it the opposite way that you want it to be parted and it gives your bangs an extra lift and bounce. I also use tresseme frizz control gel spray which is ok sometimes with bad days. For shine I use bio silk and I love it but its way too expensive! Glad you are better! =)
Thanks for all the recommendations! Im really interested in the Matrix product you mentioned, and the bangs trick! Do you apply that all over, or just near the roots where you want the volume? And does it feel sticky or greasy or anything after you dry it?
I apply it pretty much all over but concentrate on the roots. After I shower i use a golf ball size foam ball but be careful because the foam gets larger when it sits on your hand a few seconds. I apply it to the bangs but not very much. To restyle like the next day when your hair is dry- I lightly spray some water on my bangs and apply a small amount of the matrix and blow dry again- opposite way. You may need a light hair spray to lock in the poofiness of your bangs and i forgot to mention..
(continued from before)For added volume switch the side your hair is parted on for a few days or for the night. You can also use the bangs trick of blow drying it opposite to give more volume to the rest of your head. You can tease it but that always damages my hair and creates split ends which I hate. Matrix also makes a root lifter which I just got but have not tried yet. I will and let you know if I like it if you want. Matrix is an amazing brand. I have been using it for years and love it!
I had a ton of thick hair too but what i ask for when i go to the salon is for them to take out volume with textured scissors. Oh it fells wonderful after!
My hair is crazy, thick and curly by nature. I have learned to tame it on straight or curly days. Top 5 faves: ghd Fat Hair Lotion, CHI Silk Infusion, Frederic Fekkai Glossing Cream, Pure Abundance Potion by Aveda and Garnier Fructis Style Sleek & Shine Smoothing Milk. I usually use more than one of these everyday.
Yayy thank you for the whole list of products! My hair is crazy thick and wavy, if it were curly that would take it to a whole other level. I totally admire that you've found a way to control things, I know how hard it is!
Rusk Str8! ha I swear by it. It's a great product for smoothing out curls & frizz. I also use After Party on my dry hair when I straighten it, and with the Rusk as well, my hair straightens MUCH faster.
I was actually able to find it at my local Walmart, with the Bed Head & such products, but I know you can find it at Ulta. They were actually have any Rusk special recently (not sure if they are any more) where you could get a big bag of a bunch of diff Rusk products for 30, unfortunately the Str8 wasn't included, of course. ha The Str8 is a smaller white bottle with a bright orange top. I think it's somewhere in the 12-15 dollar range. I can't remember atm.
I didnt do a tutorial for the first picture, but the look in the second picture is somewhat similar and its the 'Valentines Day Look' I did a couple weeks ago :)
Brooke, my hair is a lot like yours. Thick and just totally a pain in the ass to dry and style! I SWEAR by CHI Keratin Mist and Silk Infusion. It's totally worth the money and sometimes you can get good deals on it at ULTA! :o) Also Moroccan Oil is great. That's what they use on my hair at the salon and it's seriously insane how smooth my hair looks with that and just blow drying.
Fabulous, thanks so much for the product names! Do either of those products make your hair feel like... sticky or greasy? Thats just that one thing I cant stand, I hate when it FEELS like theres product in it
I hate that too and I think that's why I love them so much because they don't make your hair feel greasy at all. I spray the Keratin Mist on my hair after I towel dry it and then I will do my makeup why my hair air dries for a bit. Then I will put a dime size amount of the Silk Infusion on my hair before I blow dry it. The Moroccan Oil she will put on a dime size amount on my hair before she dries it and my hair feels like silk. I've just yet to buy the MO myself because it's so expensive.
The easiest way to get volume in your hair is your hair cut. Shorter layers give your hair more volume. Maybe four to five inches? All depends on how short you want it. If you don't want another haircut or more layers, you could put in rollers around your crown and blowdry it that way then take them out and comb it through. To get extra soft hair and protect from damage, bio silk therapy is amazing. And you can also use it on your hands tooo. :)
Thanks SO much for all that knowledge, it really helps! Im kind of afraid of getting more layers or shorter layers, because my hair is just so difficult I feel like it would just be frizzing out around my head
my hair is super thick too, i use paul mitchell quick slip right after i get out the shower as a leave in creme and it detangles and leaves my hair so soft.
Oh WOW I was hesitant to buy their shampoo just because its so expensive compared to what Im used to, but 7 months?! What is the specific shampoo you like called?
Wow Ive replied to all your comments separately, yikes, sorry!
UGH I completely agree and understand, I DREAD drying/straightening my hair, its such a long uncomfortable process it ruins my day and half the time I dont even like the outcome!
lol, cute hair cut, I have to say I hate hair also and i have mine up most of the time. you are lucky though, you have plenty of hair. Mine is not as thick as it used to be.
To style thinner hair is such a struggle, my calick always shows through. Ugh it bugs the shit out of me. When that happens I default to PONYTAIL> anyways, nice to see a vid from you.:)
definitely love the pedegg! i seen one other day that has a handle on it *i'm guessing for those who can't bend very easily* i think it was at walmart may have been target I dont remember exactly as for hair product recommendations, I'm not sure exactly what to use either, cause I'm in the same boat :( I do want to try the bumpits too as I've seen on someone else's videos they look like they really work, and with having thick hair it should work pretty well for you and myself too.
Im going to youtube search bumpits now that I know there are videos of REAL people (not infomercials!) using them, I'll probably end up buying soon. I LOVE the way they look in the commercials!
definitely check out emilynoel83 she has some, she was the first person I seen with the videos on YT and thougth it was awesome! and you get 5 of them for $20 at Sally's not a bad deal really
your hair is cute as friggin hell! if you find one that helps with volume after straightenin let me know. bed head control freak is awesome for frizz and flyaways and your hair is sawft, but flat as hell
HAHAHA it does read like a question! I'm not sure, I've never actually used after party. control freak says frizz control & straightener on it, and you can use it on wet or dry hair.
I really like using the super skinny serum by paul mitchell. i have thick hair too and it really helps make it smooth and cuts down on the time it would take to straighten it. As far as volume at the roots you should get a root booster. I know that the brand Regis makes a good one, but I can't think of the name off the top of my head.
To use a root booster you lift up like the first layer of your hair and spray the product inbetween the layer you're holding up and the rest of your hair. Sorry if that doesn't really make much sense. It should have directions on the product itself that probably can explain it better than me.
do you get your hair thinned? i have really unruly hair and when I get my hair thinned with thinning shears it really works miracles. I dont know many products that would make blowdrying easier ... cause I honestly wear my hair in a bun almost everyday, lol

after reading all the comments Im wishing I had gotten more hair taken out in the thinning! She just took out a little bit, but I didnt realize you could do a lot. I would LOVE to just have less hair!

use a round brush upwards to create volume at the crown of your head and tease if you are still wanting more. the big & sexy hairspray is great for that! Try a root lifter for the volume i like the Nich Chavez flocker or fekkai has one too. Also wash your hair less in order to cut down on the "chore" of straightening/styling your mane, that way the following day is just touch ups :)

ghd straightener!!! and have you hair thinned out at the bottom and leave it at the top.... and when u straighten your hair make the sections pretty small/thin... you'll get quicker.. it used to take me hours to straighten mine

Coconut Milk serum, you can get it at like CVS, Wal-Mart, etc. It's good for smoothing out thick hair, i have the same hair as yours. But i use that to get out some of the volume.
Bed Head Hard to Get is amazing!!

Haha Brooke. Round 2 of threading coming asap. I'll keep you posted.
I want the Ped Egg, I've been meaning to get it for awhile and now I will after this! I have really rough heels :(
As for the HIWTK scent - Honey Trap lip balm is very similar, I think. I also think Mange Too massage bar and Ma bubble bar also smell like it. So there - now you have a few more products to check out :)
As for hair, don't get skinny serum! Get Paul Mitchell Quick Slip. Cuts my drying time in HALF.

To get volume you can just tease sections of your hair....grab a little section, hairspray it then backcomb

You should try CHI silk infusion. You put it in before you straighten and it helps so much! Also to get the volume on top with a straightner you can hold the straightner in a way like to curl your hair under with a curling iron but with straightner at your roots for a second that will help with volume at the roots! Hope that helps!!! Thanx for making your videos!

Unfortunetly vaseline is really comedogenic so its a bad idea to use it, especially on your face. The molecules are also too thick to be absorbed into your skin so it doesnt actually condition lips its more of a barrier!

I love Vaseline for my feet, too. I used to use it on my lips until I realized it is made from crude oil. It's just refined black oil! Yuck! But it is great at softening.

i LOVE the T3 blowdryers, my hair is like yours, plus it seriously gets HUGE from most blowdryers, the t3 seriously dries my hair insanely fast and without all the poof. and if youre not down with teasing your hair for volume, you could get some shorter top layers (think *scene* hair, if you will just less extreme) and pull those layers straight up with the straightener and to the back. (i can go more in depth if the idea of shorter layers at all interests you haha)

I love your hair down! =) I have a similar hair style/cut. I use matrix vavoom height of glam voluminzing foam when my hair is damp then blow dry on medium heat and when the front area near the bangs is almost dry, blow it the opposite way that you want it to be parted and it gives your bangs an extra lift and bounce. I also use tresseme frizz control gel spray which is ok sometimes with bad days. For shine I use bio silk and I love it but its way too expensive! Glad you are better! =)
easyontheeyes2690 2 years ago
Thanks for all the recommendations! Im really interested in the Matrix product you mentioned, and the bangs trick! Do you apply that all over, or just near the roots where you want the volume? And does it feel sticky or greasy or anything after you dry it?
sayanythingbrooke 2 years ago
I apply it pretty much all over but concentrate on the roots. After I shower i use a golf ball size foam ball but be careful because the foam gets larger when it sits on your hand a few seconds. I apply it to the bangs but not very much. To restyle like the next day when your hair is dry- I lightly spray some water on my bangs and apply a small amount of the matrix and blow dry again- opposite way. You may need a light hair spray to lock in the poofiness of your bangs and i forgot to mention..
easyontheeyes2690 2 years ago
(continued from before)For added volume switch the side your hair is parted on for a few days or for the night. You can also use the bangs trick of blow drying it opposite to give more volume to the rest of your head. You can tease it but that always damages my hair and creates split ends which I hate. Matrix also makes a root lifter which I just got but have not tried yet. I will and let you know if I like it if you want. Matrix is an amazing brand. I have been using it for years and love it!

My hair is crazy, thick and curly by nature. I have learned to tame it on straight or curly days. Top 5 faves: ghd Fat Hair Lotion, CHI Silk Infusion, Frederic Fekkai Glossing Cream, Pure Abundance Potion by Aveda and Garnier Fructis Style Sleek & Shine Smoothing Milk. I usually use more than one of these everyday.

Rusk Str8! ha I swear by it. It's a great product for smoothing out curls & frizz. I also use After Party on my dry hair when I straighten it, and with the Rusk as well, my hair straightens MUCH faster.

Awesome, thanks for the product name! Where can you buy that brand Ive never heard of it?
sayanythingbrooke 2 years ago
I was actually able to find it at my local Walmart, with the Bed Head & such products, but I know you can find it at Ulta. They were actually have any Rusk special recently (not sure if they are any more) where you could get a big bag of a bunch of diff Rusk products for 30, unfortunately the Str8 wasn't included, of course. ha The Str8 is a smaller white bottle with a bright orange top. I think it's somewhere in the 12-15 dollar range. I can't remember atm.

Brooke, my hair is a lot like yours. Thick and just totally a pain in the ass to dry and style! I SWEAR by CHI Keratin Mist and Silk Infusion. It's totally worth the money and sometimes you can get good deals on it at ULTA! :o) Also Moroccan Oil is great. That's what they use on my hair at the salon and it's seriously insane how smooth my hair looks with that and just blow drying.
PECantwell 2 years ago
Fabulous, thanks so much for the product names! Do either of those products make your hair feel like... sticky or greasy? Thats just that one thing I cant stand, I hate when it FEELS like theres product in it
sayanythingbrooke 2 years ago
I hate that too and I think that's why I love them so much because they don't make your hair feel greasy at all. I spray the Keratin Mist on my hair after I towel dry it and then I will do my makeup why my hair air dries for a bit. Then I will put a dime size amount of the Silk Infusion on my hair before I blow dry it. The Moroccan Oil she will put on a dime size amount on my hair before she dries it and my hair feels like silk. I've just yet to buy the MO myself because it's so expensive.

The easiest way to get volume in your hair is your hair cut. Shorter layers give your hair more volume. Maybe four to five inches? All depends on how short you want it. If you don't want another haircut or more layers, you could put in rollers around your crown and blowdry it that way then take them out and comb it through. To get extra soft hair and protect from damage, bio silk therapy is amazing. And you can also use it on your hands tooo. :)
Good luck. :D

I really like using the super skinny serum by paul mitchell. i have thick hair too and it really helps make it smooth and cuts down on the time it would take to straighten it. As far as volume at the roots you should get a root booster. I know that the brand Regis makes a good one, but I can't think of the name off the top of my head.
saywhatcuteface18 2 years ago 2
Thanks SO much for the product recommendation! How do you USE a root pumping product? I need to see a tutorial on it Im so clueless
sayanythingbrooke 2 years ago
To use a root booster you lift up like the first layer of your hair and spray the product inbetween the layer you're holding up and the rest of your hair. Sorry if that doesn't really make much sense. It should have directions on the product itself that probably can explain it better than me.
