When I was in high school, I bought my mom a mug that says, ’Bad Hair Day’ with a cartoon character that has crazy red hair and looks frazzled. While I find the mug humorous, I do not find BHD’s a laughing matter. Bad hair leaves one with feelings of not being good enough, not having it together and wanting to crawl back in bed and hope for a better day tomorrow. Crawling back into bed is hardly ever an option, so compensation is necessary…pony tails, buns, caps, hats, scarves…all kinds of cover up tactics are employed. BHD’s do draw out creativity! Do you believe that you can eliminate BHD’s and replace them not only with good hair days, but FABULOUS hair days? Yes, effort is required, well more like a little bit of pampering. Isn’t pampering yourself today, better than scrambling tomorrow?
Hydration is key for fabulous hair every day. The first commandment to curly hair is: MOISTURE, MOISTURE, MOISTURE. The hydration factor isn‘t exclusive to curly hair, all hair needs the right balance of moisture. It is vital to having healthy hair. Eliminating dry hair prevents split ends, allowing hair to grow without breaking, and leaves hair shiny, bouncy and beautiful.
With the winter months upon us, hydration is more important than ever. Applying lotions and potions to the hair and body for added moisture can seem like a full time job, especially during the colder months, but a little daily effort will save time and money in the long run. Plus you will have the security of waking up to hair and skin that looks magnificent all the time. Hydration routines are about pampering yourself a little at a time and transforming dry, dull hair into shiny, silky hair
