Simply Straight!

I’ve been blessed with beautiful hair, so I’ve been told. Many stylists are awed by how thick it is; always telling me how lucky I am and how it must be so nice to have hair to manageable.

I politely thank them knowing full well that they are paid to say that, and it could be true should they decide to take up residence with me to manage this mane of hair.

Most days I find myself cursing my locks. It has waves in all the wrong spots, it’s frizzy, it’s too long, and it’s not long enough. Since I am pretty well all thumbs when it comes to hair. I find myself just throwing it up in a messy bun everyday since I just don’t have the patience or time. It’s been a long and enduring Battle of the Mane and one I thought I would never win.

Until I met my new stylist.

She showed me the world of real ceramic straighteners and the glorious and ever so gratifying world of beautifully tamed hair with glorious shine and oh! so! manageable!

I loved everything about it. Except the cost. [insert sound of my heart breaking here.]

I wanted that straightener. I wanted to be apart of that wonderful world of beautiful hair. I longed for that hair.

Since they would not take my first born in lieu of payment, I had to find another method to achieve the pin straight hair I was longing for.

On a whim, I made an impulse buy (is there any other kind?) and picked up a bottle of Mark Anthony’s Simply Straight. About 10 dollars a tube here in Canada (the Walgreen’s page says 7.99 – that’s a STEAL!). It’s only a small portion of the cost of my coveted ceramic straightener. Really? How could I resist?

After showering, simply apply a small amount (literally, small. I have long hair and I use about the size of a quarter) and work it in, then blow dry the heck out of it, brush and you’re done. Straight, beautiful hair; like I mean straight! people.

I am always skeptical of different straighteners and creams, lotions and potions, but this one has won my heart. I am hooked! It’s simple, quick, painless and far from time consuming. There’s really nothing negative I can say about this product. It even smells great!
