      I would love to know the brand of yoga pants you have on in your everyday at home blog post.

      Those are actually jeans!

      Hi Kate! I love how your blog makes me feel like I'm reading my best friend's blog. You are so personable; even through the computer. I was wondering what your opinion on styling tools was: do you think it is more the tool or the operator know how?

      I think both are pretty important!

      Is there anything you can do to get your hair to grow faster?

      Besides taking Biotin, not really!

      Have you ever washed your hair with just conditioner?

      No, I need shampoo to get product off my hair

      Kate! I was not getting new feeds from my subscription to your blog this week and I got worried about you. When I tried to click to your website I was blocked by my officetrend program. I tried my other computer and same thing! Anyone else missing you?

      I think your protection settings are too high.

      What do you think about the hair products at Sally's Beauty Supply?

      I don't use them so I don't have an opinion!

      What do you put your Speed Freak on as far hot, medium, etc.?

      Medium, never hot

      Is it ok to buy hair products like Kenra 25 or Aquage at Ulta? I know you said not to at CVS, Target, etc.

      Yes, there is a salon within Ulta so I believe its considered a salon product.

      Hi Kate, I decided to try long, sideswept bangs at my last cut, and really don't like the way they turned out (I went to a new stylist). What can I do while I'm waiting for them to grow out? Headbands and wraps give me headaches. Any thoughts?

      Bobby pins!

      Love your blog! I know not to buy salon brands at grocery stores, drug stores, etc. but what about through Amazon?

      I think people have had success with amazon

      I love having weight taken out of my hair when I get it cut, most of the time by sectioning off the top section and taking texturizing shears to the rest of the hair from midshaft down. I'm starting to wonder if there is a better technique though?

      Thats the best way to remove bulk other than layering.

      Any suggestions for someone growing out a very short pixie cut? I'm 6 months in & this year-long in between phase is killing me! My hair is fine (but i have a lot of it) & poker straight. I love my stylist,but she always says "your hair looks fine". Help!

      Change up a part, try new products, and keep the back short until the front catches up!

      Hi Kate! I am a hair stylist new to the industry. I'm trying to go back blonde after being a very vibrant red since November. I was wondering if you had any tips and tricks to pulling the red out and achieving a beautiful blonde again?

      Probably highlighting with lightener is your best option!

      I'm in the Naperville area and im having a hard time finding someone who can achieve a great blonde color without causing a lot of damage or uneven color and bleeding... Do you have any recommendations for a stylist in the area?! Thanks ;)

      I used to work at Zazu salon downtown, see if Kate still works there, she was great!

      I am in love with your blog! Thank you so much for showing some great styling ideas!! I have really fine hair and it's also naturally curly. If I curl it with a curling iron it doesn't hold very well. Do you think these styles will work with my hair type?

      No harm in trying!

      ♥ your blog! My stylist has used aquage seasalt texturizing spray on me & on their website they say its a volumizer & texturizer. But I have long, thick, never colored/treated hair lacking volume at the roots, do i buy uplifting foam or texturizing spray?

      I'd start with Uplifting foam first!

      Hi Kate! I just found your blog and I love it! I find myself checking for new posts multiple times a day! Would Velcro rollers give the same effect as rolling and pinning when going for the bouncy curled under look? I'm ridiculously bad it!!

      Sure! Thats a great alternative!

      You often wear silver teardrop earrings with a pearl/gray stone. Will your Etsy store be selling these again? I love them and want to order a pair.

      Wish we could remake those, but we are sold out!

      I was just wondering what you can do to prevent your hair from falling out. I have fine/thin hair and it seems like a little falls out when I blow dry, or straighten. I was told that its normal to lose 50-100 strands a day. Is that true??? Thank you.

      Thats the truth!

      Have you ever tried WEN by Chaz Dean hair products (that you see on the informercials)? Or at least have some opinion on them? Thanks!

      I have a few clients that love it. I haven't used it--it's a bit to pricey for my taste.
