Fun Friday: How to Not Wash Your Hair (so often)
Nancy Ray Wash Your Hair Less Often

The longest I’ve gone without washing my hair is 13 days.

I don’t know if that impresses you, or if that grosses you out. I realize I’m taking a big risk here!

But if you’re like me, I view not washing my hair as a skill to be proud of!

Here’s how I do it:

Train your hair by stretching it an extra day, an extra 2 days, an extra 3 days at a time between washes. When you do this, follow the instructions below! It’ll help.

  • Do not use conditioner - only shampoo! I love Argan Oil of Morocco.

  • Do not use any hair products other than hairspray. I love Kenra Hairspray: It is worth every penny!

  • As SOON as you wash your hair, blow dry it - don’t let it dry naturally.

  • Immediately curl it and tease it at the base.

  • Keep it lifted with bobby pens so it’s not laying against your scalp. Do this every day if you can!

Follow along with my Instagram stories, and I’ll show you how I do all of this and answer as many questions as I can along the way!

Disclaimer: I do bathe every day!! I just don’t wash my hair — I love a good bath!

Introducing Fun Fridays
Nancy Ray Favorite Pens

I’m pretty excited about this little idea. I’m looking at Fridays on this blog as a free pass - I get to talk about whatever little tip, tutorial, product, or life hack that I want! I know, I know, I plan the rest of this blog out, too. But Fridays are gonna be different, spontaneous, and maybe a little unexpected.

Things I’ve got in mind:

  • Hair tutorials (my most requested thing on Insta which makes me laugh)

  • Favorite products

  • Small habits that make a big difference

  • Favorite scriptures & what God is speaking to me

  • Whatever I feel like!

So I’m starting off Fun Fridays with my favorite…. Drumroll please… PENS!

Literally, these pens are everything to me. Callie introduced me to them a few years ago, and I am addicted. Here’s the key: You HAVE to get the .038 tip! Anything else is much too thick. They are so thin and wonderful - I love them.

I also love using these hi-gliders! They aren’t full of ink - they are more like waxy crayons. They don’t bleed through, and I love their soft colors. Pretty much if I have my .038 Pilot and a Bible Higlider, I’m set!

Do you have a favorite pen you can’t live without? I’d love to hear in the comments! (But don’t worry you won’t convince me to switch! I’m like an old lady stuck in my ways!)

Our ultrasound tech told us we were having a girl, so we were prepared to welcome home our third daughter. You can imagine our shock and surprise! We are all so smitten with him - especially his two big sisters!

Here’s to sleepless nights and so much love,
