Wash and Go Hair

This is my absolute favorite pronouncement!  I frequently find it difficult to address this with a straight face.  It happens to be very popular not with those who actually possess hair that might be even close to being able to achieve the "wash and go" look, for instance, those with a perfect spiral curl, which again, very very few of! No no my friends, this is requested from those with the most challenging, most often poker straight, fine, desperately in need of a myriad of styling tools, products and ample amounts of time.  Now, lest you think I am being judgmental, my own family members can be accused of living in this fantasy world.   When I was a young, naive stylist I would actually try to entertain these delusions with my own delusion that I could actually create this much the sought after coiff!  This rarely, ok, never happened and was usually brought to my attention at the next appointment where I would assure said client that this next one would be the magical style!  Not so much.  Now that I am a seasoned, ie. older and wiser stylist, I confront this dilemma immediately with the sage advice that this will never happen!  I don't care what kind of hair you have, even those with curly hair have to spend a certain amount of time arranging, applying product and gently coaxing those curls into place.  Super models don't wake up with "wash and go" hair!  Although being stunningly beautiful would definitely detract from the less than stellar locks! Perhaps this oft repeated phrase should be replaced with the more accurate "I would like to appear as if I do not own a hair dryer, styling products or have access to a mirror"!  There, I feel better.
