The Brush that Changed My Life

Maybe that sounds a little dramatic for a hairbrush, but its true. I have discovered something grand. Somehow they have bred a round brush with a Greek god, and this was born:

I was not blessed with thick or voluminous hair. It is not inordinately thin (did I make that word up?), but it is certainly lacking in volume and substance. I've been growing it out because I need something super low maintenance now that I'm a mom. I thought about chopping it all off (and still might) but decided that since I'd gotten this far in growing it out I should give the longer hair thing a shot. And by longer, I mean shoulder length. The problem is, the longer my not thick hair gets, the more drab and lifeless it seems. It gets tangled, flat, and I get frustrated and end up with a ponytail five days a week.

This pretty much sums up how I felt about my hair.

Enter Umberto. My sister-in-law Candice (she did this guest post) is super savvy when it comes to beauty products, and she had both the round and oval versions of this brush. I tried them out a while ago, and sweet mercy did they do a number for my hair. It was shiny. It was smooth. It was voluminous. Best of all, I didn't have to straighten my hair after drying, which I always have to do. I finally broke down and bought one of these professional quality brushes a week or so ago. I LOVE it! I've been wearing my hair down most every day, and by the end of the day it still looks good! I never would have believed that a brush could make this big of a difference unless I had tried it myself.

I am now one step closer to looking like Scarlett Johansson

The best part? You can buy it at Target for $10.99! I am a total cheapskate, but I can tell you this brush is totally worth it. I have always felt like round brushes were a hassle to work with, but this one is a dream. The nylon bristles grab the hair and make it easy to maneuver, while the boar bristles smooth things over. Take their tips on the box for increasing volume, and you are good to go! This brush is my new best beauty product friend. I have no clue how it would perform for curly or thick hair, but for my hair it works wonders. You can check out their entire line here or find them at Target.

Does this sound like a promo? I wish I was getting paid to say this. Nope, I really just love this brush.

And now, because its my blog and I can, a song about a hairbrush:

The end.

Have a great weekend everyone! I'm excited to not have plans- who knows, maybe we'll get something done around the house or have a picnic or something. Anyone doing anything fun? Or buying a new hairbrush?
