Kelly and I camped all over West Texas last week and we wanted to share our journey with you. If you follow us on Instagram you probably have already seen some of the places we hit up. If not you can start now @buenobrandi @iheartbueno #buenosjourneywest

We've had a lot of requests for specific posts so we will do our best to answer all your West Texas questions. 

I wanted to start our series of posts with Camp Hair and give you the facts /// Kelly and I only washed our hair once the whole 8 days we were gone. How you ask? Braids. Kelly would braid our hair when we hiked so that it would stay out of our face and so we could stay cool. When your hair is down or in a top knot you tend to run your hands through it and keep putting it up over and over again which causes your hair to be more greasy. Oil on your hands, oil to your hair. We did the triple braid on Kelly after we washed our hair for a couple different reasons. While your hair is drying it doesn't frizz and when you decide to take it out you will have a pretty wave without having to use a hot tool. Two, hair is once again out of your face and you don't have to mess with it for as long as you decide to wear it. Three.. you look super stylish so you can go from camping/hiking to catching happy hour at the closest town, which in our case was Starlight in Terlingua (get the spicy margs). Kelly kept these braids in at least 3 days. They survived hiking, sleeping, happy hour, swimming the Rio Grande, hiking some more and, a long ass road trip home.

Tips /// always pack a brush, detangler, bobby pins, clear elastics, bandanas, hats, dry shampoo, travel size shampoo and conditioner. 

Also this hair is not just for camping, this would be a perfect style for everyday....especially from gym to work to happy hour. 

If you have any requests for posts or questions please leave a comment :) Happy Friday!

HAIR TO CLASS /// WAVES FOR DAYS

Photos by Natalie Upton @uptonallgood

Last month we had another successful and fun Hair-to Class at Do or Dye Tx. There is no greater feeling than seeing the expression on someones face when a lightbulb goes off in their head. We got to experience that with 10 ladies who signed up to learn how to achieve photo worthy hair everyday. 

Class Schedule ///

  1. - Shampoo & Condition (what to use, how much to use and how to properly clean and condition your hair)
  2. - Prime Hair (what products are best for your hair type) - Blowout (tips and secrets to blowdrying) 
  3. - Desired curling style and how to keep them from falling and which tool to use (beach waves, sultry curls, barely bent) - the best backcombing secrets
  4. - Finishing (finding the perfect finishing product to achieve desired look)
  5. - How to get that instagram worthy hair photo

Using good products and tools are key for achieving the look you want. Only buy products that your stylist recommends so you don't waste your time and money on the wrong product for your hair type. Also Do NOT use cheap product from the grocery store even if it is a legit brand. The integrity of that product has been jeopardized and you do not know where it came from. If you are interested in trying Kevin Murphy, Moroccan Oil, or Living Proof please stop by and ask someone for a hair prescription for your hair. 

Class also includes /// Q&A Before and After photos (don't worry if you are camera shy, we take side profile and back shots) and Sips & Treats (Champagne and Morningstar Donuts)
