I had a frat-house style weekend. By that I mean I spent the weekend crashed at somebody's lakefront house with several friends, several friends of friends, and a small mob of people whose names I never managed to get.
In situations where there are roughly .25 bathrooms for every 12 people in a house, makeup situations get sketchy. I'm pretty good at field makeup (I can put on my whole face with just a compact mirror), but hair tends to suffer.
Of course I had my not-really-a-secret secret weapon Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo Spray with me. But necessity can be a mother of an inventor, and this weekend I also discovered that a jar of Sephora Whipped Body Delights can:
- Be applied to the tips of hair to not only smooth, but give a piece-y texture to my hair.
- Be used (sparingly!) around my face and part to tame frizz and flyaways.
- Add body waves. I applied a light amount of the product to my hair, starting halfway down and working towards roots, then twisted my hair into a bun and slept on it. This trick gave me some of the best CMOG* hair of my life.
- Make everyone say, "Mmm! What smells so good?" whenever I walked into a room (I was using the super-delish Vanilla Frosting flavor - er, scent).
Who knew hand lotion was so versatile? Bring on the camping and the last-minute getaways, summer! I am so ready.
*CMOG = "Check Me Out Girl." Aka, Envy Hair.

Oooh I will try this! I've used face cream before to calm my hair down but never on the ends or anything like that. Good tip!
I have veeeery thin hair (boo!) so just a touch did the trick.
For the faux-beach-waves I used a small palmful, rubbed it between my hands to warm it up, applied, then slept. I'd be interested to see how this works on thicker hair - I'd love to know if this works as well for everyone else as it did for me.
absolutely works for my hair, as any kind of moisturizer or body lotion does. have been using using that stuff on my hair for ages (combination of dry locks and being lazy...)
will definitely try the vanilla-scented sephora one next time i manage to get my paws on it!
