(dirty) hair secrets revealed

You guys asked, and asked some more, so here it is...

All.The.(Dirty)Hair.Details.

First and foremost, I want to say thank you for all the kind comments! Writing this post, if I can help one person I'm doing what I envisioned with this blog. For that I'm forever grateful. 

I'm answering the most frequently asked questions below. If your question hasn't been answered, I'll leave contact information at the bottom of this post and gladly assist you in any way possible.

So let's discuss...Q & A

Where do I go?

Hair Success in Fargo, this is my (not so) hidden gem. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, welcoming, helpful, and beautiful inside and out. The sweetest group! And they have every service imaginable; nails, skin, hair, spa, etc. So, if you haven't been here, I highly suggest checking it out. Walking in, you'll never want to leave.

Who is my stylist?

My (hilarious) dear friend, Laura (Kirkeby) Bright, she's a newlywed [update your b-cards, bebe]! She is the secret behind it all, and the secret is now out! She has been doing hair for 10+ years, and is nothing less than ahhh-mazing. When it comes to cut, color, and all things in between, she asks the right questions to get your hair exactly where you want it to be. I have sent several friends to her, they can also attest to her hair abilities. And...her (blonde) hair is always on point. Need I say more?

What color combination does she use on your hair?
This question is the hair question I fear most...is that a thing? It sounds so silly, but I honestly know nothing about the system of coloring. So if you have questions on this, I'd suggest reaching out to Laura. To me, this just speaks to how great Laura's passion for hair is.

Does she use a toner?

Yes, we have done grey and we have done purple. Purple is my favorite.

What kind of extensions do you have?
My hair is all my own, so no extensions. I used them years ago though, and purchased the real human hair at Sally's. I know that Hair Success also sells extensions, and Laura puts them in. If I got them today, I would personally go this route.

What are my personal secrets?

Prepare to be slightly grossed out...you'll know me on a whole new level if you continue reading.

I wash my hair very rarely, approximately once a week...and I suggest this to everyone! Your hair will get over the greasiness and adjust to your wash cycle, I promise! Throw it up during the adjustment phase, and avoid touching it. So worth it!

Laura is going to kill me for this one..but I'm going to tell you anyways! I rarely trim my hair, so rarely she typically has to force me to trim it. I have strong love for split ends, something about looking unkept. Sorry Laura!

My other secret, I don't use products. Once in a blue moon, we are talking a handful of times in a year, I will use Bed Head (the OG-silver can) hair spray.

Are you grossed out yet? I warned you...

I don't blow dry my hair, unless I absolutely need to. This happens a handful of times throughout the year. Typically I wash it at night and let it air dry.

One more...if you feel like it's getting greasy, baby powder or dry shampoo. I typically go for baby powder if I need it. But, I typically stand by my no products rule.


The photos below show the process of the color, from start to finish!

I should also touch on a hair tutorial and my day to day routine. If that's something you would really like to see, let us know! Comment here or reach out to us on Instagram @flirtingwithforks
