Confessions of a Curly Headed Mommy

Tuesday, 11 October 2011 by Guest Blogger

I told everyone who read last week’s blog post that this month I am revealing secrets about me. This week I have a secret that comes straight from the mind of a Mommy (commonly referred as M.O.M.) and all of the things that I thought would happen before I had all three of my sweet children.

Before I became a mommy, I imagined motherhood as this institution that included many kisses, hugs and constant trips to child friendly places and time just to be mommy. I even had my life all planned out something like this.. I would wake up midmorning, cook a gourmet breakfast, drop all of the kiddies off at their schools and enjoy a day of constant pampering. In the afternoon I would pick them up and we would enjoy a 5 course meal and then I would help them with their homework, play with them and miraculously have them ALL in bed by 9pm. Some days do happen like this but I have to tell you the truth about what happens the other 364 days of the year.

After becoming a mommy, I saw what happens in the “real world” of being a mommy that no one talks about or even mentions until you’re too far in the trenches to complain.  For example, read what my life is really like.  I’m usually up by 5 am to make sure my entire family is showered, fed and on our way to our respective locations on time. After 8 grueling hours at work, I come home exhausted from work and too tired to cook (thank goodness for takeout)! Throughout the afternoon I flex my multitasking skills by helping my son complete his dreaded middle school homework and my toddlers work on tracing their letters all while attempting to hold an adult conversation with my husband.

This ladies and gentlemen is a typical day in the life of BossyGirl but I have to let you know that I was not ready for this hectic lifestyle. As a result, my personal “fly” style suffered for a few months and (…shhhhh) and I fell I into a style slump. I would walk around with my curls dry, clothes wrinkled with the eyes of a “wild woman”. To make it even worse I did the ultimate “no-no”. I blamed it on the kids and family with the usual excuses: I was too tired to take care of myself; the hectic schedule of being a mother was getting to me, etc.

Everything began to change for me this summer when I got my hand on some products that not only help me in the hair department, but in the time management department also. Ouidad’s 12 minute Deep Conditioner has helped me shave off an hour of my time on my weekly deep conditioning treatments with me and my daughter. This quick treatment is perfect for moms on the go because after ONLY 12 minutes our hair is soft and manageable.  I went from looking like a mad woman to becoming a Diva in Training. Around the same time that I discovered this deep conditioning treatment, I began using Ouidad’s Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel to help control my puff in summer. What I found was pure magic for my hair! My hair no longer looked crazy and I could immediately find any crackers the kids put in my hair.

I’m still working on my personal style since I have lost a lot of weight from running but things are slowly coming together. Now, I have more time to dedicate to my mommy duties such as cleaning snotty noses, helping complete projects, attending P.T.A. meetings and all other activities that help me stay a Rock Star Mommy! I know there are a ton of other women like me…trying to balance being a great mommy with being fabulous and I want to help you!

Until Monday 10/17/11 11:59pm EST , I want to giveaway three 8 ounce 12 Minute Deep Treatments from Ouidad.com to help all of my Mommies out there! To enter, leave a comment on this blog posting about why YOU deserve to win the products. The second qualifier is to follow me on twitter @bossygirl1980 and Ouidad on Facebook!- Facebook.com/Ouidad

Good luck ladies!

    I think I deserve to win this product because I have been on the hunt for a good deep treatment for 2 years now. Ive always been natural but never really wore my hair out until now. It can get very dry and hard to regain moisture and with being a college student money is getting less and less. So I would love to be able to get the opportunity to try this product

    I need an Ouidad 12 Minute Deep Treatment because I had that life and mine are all grown but still at home. I work fulltime, go to school fulltime, and try to have a life while fighting my crazy curly hair every day of my life. Never stays looking nice unless I have spent a lot of time and money at a salon. Thank you!

    I would like to win the deep treatment because today is the first day of my “overhaul”. my husband got last minute orders that sent him away yesterday for the next 6 weeks and I decided he will come back to a “new and improved” wife. We have a 4 year old and a 21 month old, and I have 20 pounds of baby weight I have been way too comfortable with, but it needs to go…I have the same bottle of climate control gel I bought in February, because I don’t do my hair, haven’t worn make-up and wear old Land Rover T-shirts I got for free from a friend who works at Land Rover when I take my daughter to Karate. All of these things have got to change. Work-out regimine begins today, 6 week countdown begins today and a free deep treatment would be a sweet treat and a nice boost to get things where they need to be!

    I deserve to win this product because, quite frankly, my life sounds almost identical to yours. I too have a full time job, three children (one of them being a middle schooler – I totally relate to the whole homework thing *YIKES*), a husband, and in addition, I care for my aging parents. Did I mention that all three of my children are girls with THICK kinky/curly hair? I could definitely use a product that will make styling all that hair a little easier :) Thank you!!!

    I need to win the Deep Conditioning Treatment because my hair is constantly ‘thirsty’ from color, loosening my curls and not to mention from all the elements out there.

    Ii would like to try the Deep Conditioner because I have been practically bedridden since summer with a rare disease and cannot get out to the salon to get my hair done anymore. I’ve raised 4 kids who are now grown. I am transitioning and the natural hair is dry and brittle. I don’t have the energy to take care of it properly but have been wanting to try the Ouidad products I see online. I also take care of my granddaughter who lives with me and she has naturally curly hair so I would love to try it on her. Even though I’m in pain 24/7 and disabled I still would like to look nice and for my hair to be healthier and presentable. When my other family members see it they will ask what I use and they will probably want to try it too ;)

    I’d love to win the deep conditioner as my curly, colored hair frizzes out easily. Crazy days with kids, working, and husband on night shifts. Need to look good while doing all of it!

    I need the deep conditioner because my hair is getting old just like me and since I just can’t bring myself to go gray yet it needs some good, solid, quick conditioning. I hate the conditioner that comes with over-the-counter hair dye but if you don’t use it you will have straw. At least I just dye the roots each time and not the whole head.

    I would like to win at least one (I know, unfair!). My 8 yr old niece is having a spa day for me, her Grandma, and her Mommy on Saturday. She is also trying to relegate her boisterous 4yr old brother out of the house. It should be quite an adventure. She wants us to bring our own hair products which is fine, but I think we will all have to do the basics in our respective homes beforehand as we are all naturally coily, thick haired ladies. Ouidad’s Deep Treatment would be a plus!

    I can’t stand my curls anymore! Frizzy, flat no definition! My hair looks horrible all the time, I hate looking at myself in the mirror. I use to get compliments all the time, now everyone says my hair looks better straighten :-(

    I need a great treatment as the weather is changing here, and my hair is drying. Plus, without my lovely products-now that I am living on a student’s budget-I have started ironing my hair (yes, scream! the horror…)

    A few confessions of my own:
    *My curly hair is so dry that when it rains, my hair absorbs it all before it hits the ground.
    *My curly hair is so frizzy that I am often mistaken for a clown.
    *My curly hair is so weak that strands snap right off when I put a hat on.
    *My curly hair is so dull and course that birds mistake it for tree bark and try to build a nest in it.

    Oh, Ouidad Deep Treatment, come bring me those nourished, sleek, strong, shiny curls I know you can!
