Blondes have more fun?

I have a feeling many brunettes and redheads would disagree with that statement. I personally don't know if it is true or not considering blonde is all I know, but I like to believe it is. :)

Lauren and I always get asked how we get so blonde. The answer? Bleach. It is really not that complicated. That may sound a little bitchy, but I don't mean it that way. I only speak the truth.

I think what people mean to ask is how to we maintain our blonde hair, so here we go.

I get my hair done by Lauren Mortensen at Euphoria in Boca Park. She's amazing, but she only works Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and every other Saturday so book in advance! Lauren G. gets her hair done by Monika Page at Scandals Salon. Monika only works Wednesday and Saturday, so once again... book in advance. We both go every 4 to 6 weeks to get our roots done because if we don't, we look like white trash. To get my golden locks, all it takes is a magic potion that Lauren M. mixes up and 20 minutes under the dryer and BAM. I'm a whole new woman. Lauren G.'s platinum blonde takes a little longer to process. She uses bleach and a 40 volume (which by the way, makes your head feel like it is being attacked by 1,000 fire ants) and 40 minutes to an hour NOT under the dryer. Lauren G. likes her hair platinum blonde. I, on the other hand prefer a more golden tone. While I am under the dryer waiting to my hair to process and reading trashy magazines such as Star and OK!, I also have Lauren M. apply a clear toner which helps make my hair super shiny.

To me, there is nothing worse than my hair looking frizzy, dry, fried, and disgusting. Since my hair is thin, I have to do a lot of at home maintenance to keep my bleached locks looking decent. I don't wash my hair everyday. I try to wash it every other day, or even every 3 days. Dirty hair styles WAY better anyway. I use Pureology Shampoo and Conditioner (The one in the purple tube. I forgot what it is called, and honestly, I am too lazy to get up and go look) I love it because I don't need that much to get my hair clean, and the conditioner has something minty in it that makes my scalp tingle with joy. Also, about twice a week in the shower, I do a deep conditioner called Coral Therapy by RUSK. It smells AMAZING and it makes my hair so silky. I leave it in my hair for about 5 minutes while I shave my legs or something then rinse it out. After I get out of the shower, I use a leave in conditioner by TIGI called Rockaholic. It smells like grapes and sprays right on. I then brush it with a soft bristle brush and slap on some RUSK Sheer Brilliance shine serum. I love this stuff. it makes my hair shiny and soft. I then let it air dry. I NEVER blow dry it because lets be honest, I do enough heat damage to my hair. I also do another deep treatment called Dumb Blonde (No, it is not only for blondes) by TIGI. I just put it on my dry hair in the evening, leave it on for a few hours while I blog, play on Facebook, do homework, or watch trashy reality TV and then just rinse it out when I take a shower that night. Once every 2 to 3 weeks, I also do a clear toner at home which I put on my hair, leave on for about an hour, and then wash off in the shower. A clear toner just seals the hair to make it shiny. (Obviously, I am obsessed with shiny hair.)

As far as styling, I am down for any type of hair style. I wear my hair curly a lot. I used to use a curling iron, but I have recently discovered hot rollers. Bananas. They give me a ton of volume and they are do easy! I just heat them up, put them in, leave them in while I do my makeup, take them out and BAM! We're done. When I straighten my hair, curl my hair, or use hot rollers, I always spray on RUSK Thermal Spray on my hair. It helps protect against the heat damage and I love it.

A few more of my favorite products are Masterpiece hairspray by TIGI Bed Head. It is a hairspray AND a shine spray in one with an amazing hold and it smells like pineapple. I literally die. If you like textured hair use Wired by RUSK. Put a little on your wet hair and let it air dry. Play Dirty by Short Sexy Hair is the best dry wax ever. Just be careful not to spray too much on or your hair might look a little greasy!

So now that I've told you a little about my favorite products and my golden locks, if you see me at Walmart, in my yoga pants, a hoodie, and messy hair, please don't judge me. Everyone needs a day or two off, especially when you are as high may as I am.
