Bumble and Bumble Don't Blow It Hairstyler and Surf Infusion Spray, Review

I was determined to make the best out of the last days of my holiday before super busy time at new job starts but bad luck started rolling in one after another. First I got a back ache, which was almost going away the second day, but right after came some stomach problem and before it is over now I got a cold and a sore throat. Right now I am sitting here, sneezing and cleaning my nose while writing. Such a lovely way to spend the last days haha!

After getting sick yesterday, I got very bored. While sitting at home, I decided to give the blog a face lift. I appreciate it so very much if you tell me what you liked and didn't like. For example how do you find the new portrait? Do I look like the living dead with a lipstick (yes I think I do!)? Don't hesitate, just tell me! 

I have been testing some hair products from Bumble and Bumble lately and two of them made it to my favorites this summer, Bumble and Bumble Don't Blow It Hairstyler and Surf Infusion Spray. My thoughts about them are after the jump.

Bumble and Bumble Don't Blow It Hairstyler and Surf Infusion Spray

To start off I would like to tell you about the condition of my hair and what I normally use. As you might have already seen, I have natural waves which are mostly at the tips. My hair is normal to dry so doesn't get oily easily. Once I style it, I can usually use it two three days. I used to have short hair, middle-length hair and now it grew to a point it is way too long for my taste but didn't have time to go to a hair dresser because of all the things going on with job at the moment. I am planning to get them cut around my shoulder once I am back from holidays. I also want more layers for them to look more voluminous. One more thing about my hair, it is normal to thick. So there are two things for me about hair styling: Hair shouldn't look frizzy, the waves should be accentuated.

During winter time, since I don't wash it everyday, I use a hair foam and I air blow to dry them. A regular hair foam, once used moderately, doesn't make my hair look sticky nor hard. If I air blow directly afterwards I get more waves because the wet hair is heavy and pulls the waves down and results in less waves.

During the hot summer in Stuttgart and afterwards my holidays, to blow dry it was out of question. It would have been to the hell and back. Everything which causes heat was banned from my life, including toaster! This was when Bumble and Bumble Don't Blow It entered my life. Now this product, it is genius but... The name? Do you see the pun? Anyway hope you don't haha! Alright back to the product. It is a creme to distribute on your hair and afterwards you can give shape to your hair with your hands. What I do is that I push the waves up with my palm after I apply it directly to the wet hair (right after argan oil). It makes my otherwise frizzy looking hair soft and it looks blow dried. If I only use this, I get very soft waves at the ends and almost straight hair at tops. This is when Surf Infusion Spray comes out to play.

To make the waves a bit prominent, more wavy, I spray some of the new Bumble and Bumble Surf Infusion Spray to the tips. When I asked you at Instagram how you feel about the previous product, many said that it was drying. I haven't tried the previous version but I have been using Surf Infusion every single day since three weeks and it didn't dry my hair. It is known though that salt induced products and sea water dries up hair but I have been using my Argan Oil after the beach and Aloe Vera spray at the beach and it has been fine so far. Below you can see how the combination of these two products work on my hair when it naturally dries. As you see, it is not frizz-free but it is good enough for me.

In one of the recent FOTDs, you have seen my hair styled that way. You can see that on tops it is flatter than usual but it doesn't look, dry, frizzy or out of style. I also use very little product to get this result. If you want it to look a bit more "done" you can apply more. All in all I am loving this combination for hot weather.

Final thoughts: For wavy frizzy hair, I am loving the combination of Bumble and Bumble Don't Blow It as a way to style and give an air dried look. It works fine on my thick hair, I believe it should work even better with thinner hair. Surf Infusion is salt based but didn't dried up my naturally dry to normal hair. I love to give it a shake and spray it a few times to the tips to accentuate my waves. 

Do you air dry? What are the hair stylers you are loving at the moment?
