PINTEREST FAIL

I know I'm supposed to stick to recipes since this blog is called Pinterest test KITCHEN....but this fail was too big not to post.

It all started when a young, west Texas girl moved east to the central Texas town of Waco and discovered that when introduced to humidity, her very thick, long hair suddenly kinked up into something between a curl and beachy wave... but let's skip ahead a few years.

I have a 16 month old and hair that takes 40 minutes to blow dry, therefore, I am constantly looking for a fast fix that doesn't require me to juggle entertaining a very active little boy by allowing roll after roll of toilet paper to be shredded and strewn across my bathroom while simultaneously attempting to properly use a round brush and blow dryer to de-curl and smooth hair that clearly just wants to be free.

This brings me to the false hope that is this pin:

SO- I went to this link

Followed these steps:

"wake up to less frizz

Giving your hair a break from heat can actually be beneficial-especially for those with natural waves. "The less you do to curls the better," says Gibson. 

1. Apply a light leave-in conditioner (try Ted Gibson Tame It Shine Lotion, $20) and use a wide-tooth comb to distribute it to your ends. A brush or a fine-tooth comb can destroy your curl pattern and create kinks. 
2. Part your hair down the middle. Divide each side into three smaller sections. 
3. Starting at the bottom of one of the smaller sections, create a pin curl by wrapping the ends up and over two fingers as you would a foam roller and continue winding up toward your roots. (This prevents curls from tangling or catching on your pillow at night.) 
4. Slip your fingers out and secure the pin curl to your scalp using a clip. (Try these no-crease versions from Ricky's, $6.) Then repeat steps three and four on the other five sections. 
5. Remove the clips in the a.m. and lightly spritz your hair with water to soften curls and eliminate static. "

AND GOT THIS....

UMMMMM.....thanks Yahoo Beauty- total fail...and clearly, still plenty of frizz.

Obviously, I cling to the hope that the blow dry bar trend sticks around for a long, long time.
