This post was sponsored by Sexy Hair through their partnership with ShopStyle Collective. While I was compensated to write a post about their Sexy Hair products, all opinions are my own.

Sexy Hair, who’s Big Sexy Hair collection I’m already obsessed with – their Spray & Play Volumizing Hairspray has a permanent residence in my bathroom, just launched a new collection Long Sexy Hair. They also added a new Silk Finish to their Big Sexy Hair collection.

And not that she doesn’t embody the essence of Sexy Hair, but you know, she didn’t actually use the product considering it was decades after her passing that the brand even came into existence. And while it’s definitely weird she’s the new spokesperson, I’m willing to be imaginative enough that if she was actually still with us (and could speak for herself) this would be the brand on her vanity. After all, in the words of Marilyn herself,
