Two words: beef tallow.
Everybody wants to be a cowgirl or at least look like one.
Cowboy core has touched the styling routines of even the most city-obsessed among us.
Who can forgether photos in the ringthat looked straight out of a scene fromThe Longest Ride?
In short, it seems everyones cowgirl (and boy)-obsessed.
But what dorealcowgirls think of it all?
And how do they actually protect their hair and skin from hours spent with horses in the blazing sun?
Take Texas hair, for example.
Flamboyance, when present, tends to come with practicality in mind, save for some ribbons and bows.
A lot of the women in John Wayne movies are very fun, free-spirited, and goofy.
Still, in terms of style, the medias depiction doesnt always translate.
I know its cute and people look so nice in their outfits, but cowgirls do deserve respect.
Our lifestyle is really lived in seasons more than days.
Cowgirls prefer plaits (or in Goochs case, locs), sensible makeup, and plenty of SPF.
I dont want it on my face.
Auld considersMaybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascarato be her only makeup mainstay, accompanying a spartan-yet-effective beauty routine.
For skin care, she gravitates towards more natural products.
Using more natural things really worked for me in the end.
Quality Headwear
Kovarik embraces a similarly simple regimen, supplemented by the requisite headwear.
(The trick to wearing a cowgirl hat and having it feel authentic is to always get it shaped!
If hats arent your thing, consider a scarf.
Gooch keeps her locs cleansed, covered, and protected with a silk scarf.
If I need to moisturize them, I use a mist bottle with water.
Cowgirls are rough on the trail but love to clean up, she says.
Ive definitely gotten more girly over the years.
I love having fake eyelashes.
Halvorsen favorsClassic Lashes from Pro Lash(I wear them just about every day!)
and a layer ofMaybelline Dream Fresh BB Creamfor coverage and protection.
It keeps it very basic but gives me that feminine edge, she says.
Never Skipping SPF
Meanwhile, Gooch eschews makeup entirely.
I have probably worn makeup five times in my entire life, she says.
But SPF, specificallyBlack Girl Sunscreen(Gooch wears level 50), is essential.
It rubs in easy and does not leave a white cast on my skin, she says.
Aside from sun protection, self-care is paramount.
I love taking care of myself, says Gooch.
Due to being outside with so much dirt and animal hair, washing my face is important.
I keep it simple.
Trusting The Basics
Even teenage cowgirls keep things minimal.
My beauty look doesnt change on rodeo days.
I think the only thing that changes is my hair.
I never wear it in a side braid unless I’m riding.
Being a cowgirl is cool, says Halvorsen.
Were hardworking, determined, and tough.
Its neat to see the cowgirl being celebrated for these characteristics.
