[lanyac]

1. What type of hair do you have (long, short, curly, straight)? Long, straightish (fuzzy and frizzy, lol) Brown
2. Colored or not colored? Any treatment at all? Not colored, no hair treatments.
3. What is your daily hair care routine on days that you wash your hair? I rinse with baking soda and water, rinse with water, rinse with apple cider vinegar, rinse with water. Then I blow dry.
4. What is your daily hair care routine on days that you don't wash your hair? Brush!
5. List all the ways you usually style your hair for a regular day. My hair is getting long enough to braid again! My hair is really thick, so its hard to braid without pieces sticking out. Most of the time it goes in a pony tail. I can't get my hair into my experiments at work.

Long curly but I flat iron it often
No color or treatment.
I wash at night, flat iron in the morning so I don't have to use the blow dryer, and can usually get another day, so I wash every third day. I just brush and go.



If I go curly, I wash in the morning, spray some frozz ease, and go.

Down, pony tail, twisted back with those twisty Bobby pins.

I'm no help, I'm a grad student and dress like one.

[penguingrrl]

wavy/frizzy and just past the shoulders
not colored or treated
shampoo/conditioner with occasionally frizz ease

On days I want to wear it down I will wash then blow dry and flat iron. Since becoming a SAHM it's rare that I bother and usually throw it in a ponytail. I rarely go a day without washing because it gets greasy and disgusting if I do.

[trixie459]

straight, shoulder length, no color or treatment

wash days- shampoo, conditioner, mousse, blow dry, finish with hairspray

non-wash days- wet in shower and either blow dry or pull back in ponytail while wet

blow dry straight, curl with a curling iron (for special occasions), or pony tail / bun

[dexteroni]

1. What type of hair do you have (long, short, curly, straight)?
Past my shoulders, curly.

2. Colored or not colored? Any treatment at all?
Colored to cover gray. My natural color is dark brown so grays really show.

One of two options. (a) Wash, let air dry curly. (b) Wash, blow out straight.

• Day 2, curly - I add a bit of product if the curls have "broken." Sometimes I have to pin it back or or pull it up, but not always.
  
• Day 2, straight - I just re-straighten any spots that need it. I can usually still wear it down on day 2.
  
• Day 3, whether curly or straight, usually requires a bit of dry shampoo and a ponytail or a messy bun.

5. List all the ways you usually style your hair for a regular day.

[hannamaren]

I have easy hair
I wash and condition every day. I colour but my hair is still nice and silky. I let it air dry every day with no product and it just sits nice and straight and flat in a good way.
If it is winter, I blow dry without a brush and then I may need a bit of product to calm the frizzies on top.
For the last 9 mths, I have had a ponytail 96% of the time.
I just wish I was a better self braider because I would like to do something more interesting.

4. What is your daily hair care routine on days that you don't wash your hair?

Curly: wash with conditioner only

Thanks. I'm having hair issues.

1. curly, shoulder length
2. yes
3. really depends...I wash my hair maybe 3 times a week. I use a clarifying shampoo and a strengthening conditioner. I spritz it with detangler, the cheap kid kind; works the best. I either put it up and straighten it the next day or use moose to rock it curly.
4. if it's curly I usually just throw it in a bun/top knot. when it's straight I just add hairspray. sometimes I have to recurl my hair and I'll use a heat protecting spray.
5. work mornings it's a bun/top. been rocking the look since jr. high. when I actually do my hair I'll wear it curly down. I don't like my recent hair cut curly, the layers look weird so I pull it back. when it's straight I either wear it straight or curl it. I occasionally wear it in a pony tail. I rock pigtails and fish tail braids often.

1. What type of hair do you have (long, short, curly, straight)? Kind of thick, very straight, and pretty long. The left pic in my sig is how long and pretty much how I have it all the time.

2. Colored or not colored? Any treatment at all? None

3. What is your daily hair care routine on days that you wash your hair? Blow dry and curl with a 1.25" curling iron for semi loose curls. I've done it so many times that it only takes about 20 minutes between blow drying and curling.

4. What is your daily hair care routine on days that you don't wash your hair? The only time I don't wash my hair is if I did late last night. In that case, I just curl it.

5. List all the ways you usually style your hair for a regular day. I curl it a couple of different ways, but it is always curled. On rare occasions I'll clip it half up after curling. I don't like how I look with my hair straight.

[boiler717]

1. What type of hair do you have (long, short, curly, straight)? Long with a teeny tiny bit of wave (not enough to look good, just enough to annoy!)

2. Colored or not colored? Any treatment at all? Colored

3. What is your daily hair care routine on days that you wash your hair?
I use Pureology in the purple bottle for shampoo and conditioner. Occasionally I have to use a medicated shampoo or steroid wash because of my scalp. I wash and towel dry. I let air dry for a bit usually. I put in a volumizing mousse and a smoothing serum like Morocan Oil. I then blow dry (attempting to use a brush) and flat iron. I add a finishing serum at the end. I wash my hair 2x/week.

4. What is your daily hair care routine on days that you don't wash your hair?
I've started using a dry shampoo and it stretches my washings even farther -- I can go 5 days now. Usually on Day 2 or 3 I make it pretty curly with a curling iron or flat iron. Those curls will last a couple of days. Other days I'll touch up with a flat iron. I add finishing serum every day and occasionally will use a volumizing spray on the roots when I do the big curls.

5. List all the ways you usually style your hair for a regular day.

Flat iron with the ends flipped or pretty curly (big wavey curls). Occasionally I wear a cute headband or pull back some with clips. Maybe once a month I'll wear it in a low pony.

ETA: forgot to include products

3. Pretty low maintenance: shampoo and conditioner (Loreal sulfate-free), lately I've been using Bumble & Bumble styling creme, then blow dry
4. Um...hairbrush?
