Ok, I'm a slacker...

Ok, well not really. I just hate sitting at my desktop computer. The chair isn't that comfy.

However, my new laptop allows me to sit in the comfort of my comfy couch and relax.

I have a lot to go over, so I'll do it slowly.

I'm 3 months into cosmetology school at the Aveda Institute Charlotte. I'm loving it. Just finished my hair cutting class and I know I have a ways to go, but I LOVE IT! I started my hair color class today. Very excited!!

Aveda products are amazing. I love the way my hair feels, and even for a girl who colors her hair pretty frequently, it's healthy.

Products I'm loving right now:

Volumizing tonic - the best root lifter on the market. And for $14 you really can't beat the price for how long it lasts!

Phomollient - This is the most versatile product. You can use it on wavy to curly hair to make it smooth during a round brush blow-dries. It's also great for adding volume during blow-dries.

Hair Potion - part of the Pure Abundance volume collection. This stuff adds up to 17% thickness. Need your hair backcombed for an updo or a "bump-it" bump? Use this stuff. Sprinkle it on the scalp from the bottle and rub in.

Two of the best lines for my hair. Pure Abundance isn't good for color treated hair. The clay that is in the conditioner for plumping the hair shaft and can deplete the color. Color Conserve is actually the best color shampoo I've found. It is Acid-Balanced and helps keep the cuticle smooth so fading is minimal. You should also shampoo, condition and rinse your hair in cool to cold water.

So that is it for now. Hope anyone who reads this finds some good tips. Feel free to ask me anything!
