Product Junkies on a Budget feature beauty products I have purchased with my own money. I am a college student and broke.... I can't afford YSL's Touché Eclat or La Mer face cream (as much as I wish I could) BUT I can gather my pennies and hit up the local drug store and feed my product fix.
I don't know about any of you ladies outside of New York, but here in the big apple, it's gotten pretty darn cold in what felt like a couple of seconds. With the dry, static-y hair from the chilly air and flat, matted hair from the addition of hats to my daily wardrobe I was really missing that sexy, I just spend a day at the beach and I haven't washed it, there may still be sand in there but have no fear its gone from everywhere else, tousled hair. Without having the time to sit and use a curling iron, (and risk it being gone after I take off my hat...) how could I possibly achieve that look I so craved? The answer ladies, is Garnier Fructis Surf Hair Texture Paste and I got it for $4.39 at Rite Aid.
The back label says to either use it on damp or dry hair for different effects. I tried it out a few different ways and my favorite was using a TEEEENY TINY bit at the root while my hair was damp and then kind of scrunching my hair a bit all over. I usually go to bed with a wet head so I let my hair air dry while I sleep, I am sure you could blow dry as well, then when I woke up I put about one small taco's worth of sour cream of the paste in my hair and rubbed it between my palms. The paste has a matte finish is not oily so you don't have to worry about getting greasy hair if you use a little too much. After both hands were sufficiently coated in the paste, i flipped my head over and started scrunching, shaking, and twisting away. Flip over and repeat on top. The finished effect is that surfer girl, slightly messy soft wave. I put a hat on before I made my way to work and when I arrived I was able to just shake out my hair a bit and it looked great! Even better, the second day I just spruced things up with a little more product and my hair looked so good, I think I liked it more than the first day! For $4.39 and a nice big jar of beach hair waiting to happen, I'd say this is a great buy for anyone looking for that special something to make their hair winter chic.
