Quick Fix for a Locker Room Disaster

I averted a hair disaster today, and I lived to tell about it. It all started when, after exiting the shower at my gym, I noticed that I’d left my toiletry bag at home . Translation: no makeup and no hair products. Scary. Hair dripping wet, face clean scrubbed and the clock ticking, I had to think quickly, so I took stock of what I had to work with. In total, I had a blow dryer, Udderly Smooth Udder Cream and some eyeliner.

Of course, I used the cream to moisturize my face–I couldn’t conceal away any imperfections, but I at least my face wouldn’t be dry. I then swept on some liquid eyeliner, which thank goodness was in my purse. I feel simply naked without my eyeliner–no, just kidding…well, sort of.

Final verdict? Totally presentable, but it was the hair that concerned me.

I once heard a model say that she used lotion in her hair once when she had no product. I was wary of this option, though, because my scalp has a tendency to get greasy, and Udderly Smooth is kind of thick. In truth, though, I had no choice in the matter since I knew that once that blowdryer hit my hair, it would be frizz city. My big hair would have to be tamed and contained. So I blew my hair out, sans a brush (not a good idea for my thick mane) and finished with a small amount of the cream. I put a dab in my hands, rubbed them together and smoothed my hair down.

Final verdict? Well, I wouldn’t make a habit of it, but even right now, hours later, my hair is okay. It’s got some flyaways, and it’s a little worse for the wear, but it totally passes.

Try it if you ever need to avert your own hair mishap.
