Summer Hair Challenge: The Results Are (Finally!) In!
It’s a bird, it’s a plane… it’s the Summer Hair Challenge results! You can see why it took us a second to go through your 100+ gorgeous—like seriously, why are you all so pretty?—faces. But posting these pics is one of our favorite rituals. For new readers, this is our third annual challenge. Don’t fret, you’ll get your chance next year!
As promised we have a winner. This lucky girl is going to get a basket loaded with amazing clean haircare courtesy of NuboNau.
And the winner is… 47! Nancy from Arizona congratulations!
Now, without further ado, have a look at our Summer Hair Challenge lovelies. Keep scrolling, feel free to fawn and remember: sharing is caring, and we want to show you guys off on Facebook.
Note: We’re sorry if your pic somehow didn’t end up in the mix. A few of you forget to attach in the email, and some were just too low res. Next time!

LOVE seeing so many men!! :D And I can honestly say there is not a single person I would think/say “what is UP with her/his hair?!” (I wouldn’t think/say that anyway but you get my point).
Hurrah! We have a winner! ( with a lot of tough competition! Some gorgous, natural hair in those pics!)
Congratulations to Nancy! We are so looking forward to preparing your gift basket full of John Masters Organic Haircare….we will be in touch soon to customize your choices and ….will also add a bonus $100 e-gift certificate to your prize ( its a great time to try some new make up to go with that glossy, prizewinning mane after all!)
Thanks to the NMDL gals for involving us in such a great initiative too! We’re so delighted to be part of such a fun idea!
Happy, Happy Friday everyone! NNx
Love all the pictures! Everyone looks fabulous!! Congratulations, Nancy!!
A quick note, number 57 and 86 are the same person a year apart. Poor Morgan from Seattle got replaced by my old photo.
Wow, your readership IS pretty. Starting to feel like I should’ve taken a better picture, haha.
Well, which one is Nancy? I really thought this was so interesting. But does anyone have this problem? (Don’t be mad if this has been addressed before, and I just never saw it.) Hair looks good after the shampoo and products and finger waving, etc. After sleeping on it, however, it looks like shit the next day. What do you do then? I’ve tried the renewal sprays and even getting it wet in the shower again the next morning . . . but it just doesn’t look as lively. Yet when I blow it dry and style it (maybe 15 min at most), I can wear it for another day, maybe a third day with a dry shampoo. So, how does this balance out? I forgot to mention the type of my hair: fine, colored because of going grey but a multi-color one, not single process. I have natural waves but live in a high, dry climate: Denver, Co. I don’t have thick, coarse, curly hair that can hold its curl easily no matter the climate. Any ideas? Any product suggestions? Any haircut suggestions? I wear my hair in the \long in front, short in back\ kind-of bob. It’s almost to shoulder length by now because I’ve let it go. Sorry if I went on and on. But I do appreciate any ideas/suggestions from folks with similar situations. Thanks a bunch!
