I loved doing beauty pageants when I was little--I loved everything about it from trying on dresses, to sitting in my Grandmother's salon chair for hours, to getting my makeup done, and doing my best walk. It was so much fun. So many rollers were used...and baby's breath flowers in my hair!
Then we have a school pic. I thought it looked cool having my bangs permed and teased. Can you see how long my hair is? Here I am posing with my favorite doll. I was going to take this pic with a book, but everyone said that wasn't cool!
This is my senior picture for high school. After 15 years I cut my hair. It was SO long. and then I got a perm.
Back to the long hair--it would be down to my fingertips by the time I cut it. Here I am with my sister, my Grandmother, and me! I'm wearing glow in the dark jewelry and my outfit is sherbet orange.
Over the years I have colored, permed, highlighted, cut and teased my hair to high heavens. And some of these processes I have done myself--let's just say of all of the beauty stuff I'm good at, DIY highlights from peroxide is definitely a no. A few months ago I dyed it darker and got a little shorter.
To take take of my hair, I like having good, quality products to repair the damage of what ever I am putting my hair through so I can look my best. And that's why I use NEW Dove Regenerative Nourishment collection. I'm a huge fan of products that really work for me and my budget.

After using the shampoo and conditioner (which smell SO good), I use the Dove Hair Serum-in-Oil. This makes my hair shiny and soft. Easy 1-2-3 hair routine!
And I know my hair can handle whatever I put it through next! I don't have to spend a lot to have my hair look great. Next time you are at Target, grab the new Dove Regenerative Nourishment Shampoo, Conditioner and Serum in Oil. Your hair will thank you!

ReplyDeleteOh love seeing this throw back photos! I definitely had perms as a kid too haha. I've been coloring my hair for awhile now, so using a leave in oil treatment would probably be so beneficial for my hair!

I lived in the 80's - the years of Aqua net turning your hair into cement!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI so love your pics - especially the pageant picture :) ... & Thumbs up for Cabbage Kids :)
Loved seeing these pictures of you! So cute! I had the 80s perms too! It made my hair a giant ball of frizz! lol I've heard great things about Dove hair care, and I still need to try it!
ReplyDeleteAww you are adorable in those pictures! Ahh I remember my elementary school days with bangs too, hehe.

I love Dove products. Can't wait to try these! Loved seeing your hair story throughout your life too!
ReplyDeleteIt's a funny coincidence, but I had my first proper hair cut at 15, too. And that fringe thing secured with lots and lots of hair spray. :)
ReplyDeleteI have my eyes on the Serum in Oil but must say I'm not the biggest fan of Dove shampoo and conditioner because of the overpowering scent.

Love all the throw back pictures!! I had a perm with teased bangs at one point too!
ReplyDeleteYou look so adorable in the throwback photos!
ReplyDeleteFlorals&Smiles
Love all the throwback pictures!! You have beautiful hair.
ReplyDeleteYou look so adorable in the throwback photos. I don't use Dove shampoo, but I know my sister loves it. I love Dove's other products a lot though.

Dove is actually my favorite product to use in my hair when I'm not wanting to spend a lot. I haven't tried that serum, but it looks like a keeper. I adore that beauty pageant picture of you, so cute!

Oh yes, we must be around the same age, I had similar hairdos! Love the throwbacks!
ReplyDeleteI really like that high school pic - your hair game was ON POINT that day :)
ReplyDeleteYou look so beautiful in that purple gown! Your grandmother was gorgeous too! I haven't seen these products yet in the store but the serum interests me.
ReplyDeleteI love all the pictures Elle! Will definitely have to check out the dove products! I use to have a perm in highschool. It damaged the ends of my hair but I don't think my hair ever grew so much as it did then because I wasn't constantly straightening it!
ReplyDeleteI love all the throw back pictures Elle! You look so pretty in the purple gown and you have such lovely hair!
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing all those pictures Elle, especially that first one--adorable! I love the color of your hair now, it does look so pretty and shiny! I'm going to have to try that oil spray to add some shine to mine.
ReplyDeletesome great throwback pics!
ReplyDeleteAaaaaaw....love this post, Elle:) I'm always a sucker for a trip down hair memory lane:D You look great, then and now.
ReplyDeleteI never did a perm, but growing up in the south, my hair was super frizzy because of the humidity. I will have to check out that line!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, that pageant picture of you in the purple dress is amazing! i always wanted a perm but my mum wouldn't let me lol. i love looking back on old pictures, hairstyles are the best. that serum sounds awesome, i just got some dove shampoo and conditioner so i'm excited to try that.
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing all the photos and that pageant photo is so cute!
ReplyDeletei love Dove products and use their deodorant. Will have to check out that serum! I can't live without the stuff.

ReplyDeleteI'm loving the throw back pics! So fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat adorable photos!
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks so gorgeous throughout the years. Mine has always been so puffy and wavy. I've always hated it, which is why I always chose to wear it up.

Oh, you looked so cute! I personally think your hair looks gorgeous in every picture!

What a walk down memory lane - hairstyle wise...! I remember being so jealous of the girls who could style their hair like this as mine was always the same - flat and thin!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your hairstyle from over the years. I think we all had a perm one time in are lifetime. I know I had a few.

I love seeing the evolution of other people's hair! haha I went through some crazy times as a teen and even young adult. I was curious about these Dove products. Do they contain sulfates? Alcohol? I wonder if they'd be curly girl friendly?
ReplyDeleteClick the link to find out the ingredients. I have wavy hair and have no issue. My sisters and mom have curly hair, no issues. These are Regenerative so they are best for repairing hair.
