Crazy Hair - Revealed!

I'm going to bed tonight with my hair wet.

So I can take a picture of my hair in the morning.

Because I have scheduled my appointment for my Keratin treatment on Thursday!

I have to color my hair at home tomorrow night (to get rid of all of the grays -- soooo sad that it's true!), I'm getting my hair cut by my most awesome lady on Wednesday, then I'll get my hair straightened on Thursday!

I have no idea what will happen with my hair in the morning - it's a little unfair that I'm sleeping on it -- it will no doubt be different than it would be if I just let it air dry. Regardless, you should get the idea.

Then, I will post a picture of the generic after the Keratin treatment, followed by one more of the results from air-drying, only after the treatment.

It's like a science experiment! Only not really.

***UPDATE***

Alright, so here are my pictures. These are actually from this evening, not this morning, as I could not find any batteries ANYWHERE in the house to power my camera. Fortunately for you, my hair still stays decidedly fluffy if not wrestled into submission.

I warn you: what you are about to see is not pretty. It's late February, which is apparently code for my-eyes-are-about-to-be-scratched-out-of-my-face-season, and I'm extremely sleep deprived. These things do not a model make.


Here's a bit of a close-up...frizzy, fluffy action going on here.


Not curly, not straight, not a flattering picture :)
But it gives you an idea of what I deal with on a regular basis.
And this is not it at its worst.


And I leave you with one final overview, with my face blocked out...
to spare you from focusing on my mug-shot mug...and focus on my hair.


Again, this is my hair after going to bed with it wet, and only putting leave-in conditioner and a miracle spray in it. I can get it to "scrunch," but it takes LOADS of mousse, and doesn't always cooperate. Whenever I straighten it, I have to take a shower at night, put it in a low ponytail overnight, then spend a few minutes blow-drying the part of my hair that was in the ponytail holder, because, no, it does not dry in as little as 24 hours. Once it's acceptably dry, then I have to flat-iron it, which can take anywhere from 30 minutes to easily an hour or more.

So, here's hoping that this thing works!

I just saw the updated post with pictures! That's my hair only I have much less hair than you do. I love the after hair!

I'm excited to see your end result! I've thought of doing that treatment before, and we're like hair twins... only I've got a lot more of the drama than you. :)
