I never used to be one for spending time at the beach, but now that I'm an adult I've grown to like it. I now enjoy spending time in the ocean breezes, exploring the coast, and people watching, well I could go on and on.
Despite all of the fun I have at the beach I've found that if I don't properly prepare and think about protecting my hair and skin beforehand I end up regretting my beach time.
The sun and ocean breeze I enjoy so much can dry out my hair and skin causing damage that will take weeks sometimes months to reverse and repair.
To avoid that damage I make sure to pack in my beach bag these seven beauty and hair care essentials.
For years I thought I was alone in my struggle with oily skin. I thought it was something I would always battle with and lose. Then one day the stars aligned and my oily skin and I finally called a truce. The truce didn’t last long.
Imagine this.
You just got a new shampoo or conditioner. They may have been a free sample, a gift from a friend, or a new release from your favorite brand you’ve been dying to try. You use it on your hair and go through the rest of your routine. But something doesn’t feel right. Your hair may feel too dry, too greasy, or something else not so great.
The new product doesn’t work for your hair.
So now what do you do with that hair product? You can’t use it on your hair anymore.
Have you ever looked down at the floor after washing, combing, or brushing your hair and seen lots of little bits of hair on the floor?
I have. And it was recently. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been dealing with hair breakage. At first, I didn’t think it was that bad. Just a few broken strands around the front and top of my hair. Then I had a trip to my hairstylist and she revealed some serious breakage around the nape of my neck.
When you're starting out as a blogger you may not have a lot of money to put towards your blog. Or you may not want to invest too much money into it until you know you'll get a return on your investment.
Either way, you don’t want your blog to look like a fly-by-night operation. You want it to look as professional as possible so that you can attract visitors and grow it so you can start investing money in it. I know I did.
I’ve become a big YouTube watcher of hair and beauty tips videos. What I’ve been finding though is many hair YouTuber’s don’t share tips that are always applicable for relaxed hair.
In fact, I’ve gotten several comments on the hair videos I post on YouTube about how it’s hard to find good videos about how to care for relaxed hair.
Deep conditioning is an important part of a healthy hair regimen. It can help eliminate frizz, hydrate dry hair, strengthen hair. Overall deep conditioning your hair can give it a second life. If it’s done the right way.
Before I started my hair journey there were many times I would go to the salon and my hairstylist would tell me my relaxed hair felt dry. This was puzzling to me. I couldn't understand why my hair felt dry. I was moisturizing my relaxed hair and even deep conditioning so my hair shouldn’t be feeling dry.
