I don't know why...but I always love to cut my hair every fall. It gives me a fresh start to the school year and I always feel like my year begins during the fall season.
Now, I am definitely a person who is afraid of people who are scissor happy. I get so scared every time I cut my hair that it's just going to be horrible. I have finally found someone who I am comfortable with to cut my hair and I couldn't be happier.
I go to Gina's Salon in Skokie Illinois. I went to Cindy and she was so friendly and really listened to what I wanted to do with my hair. She also has very long hair and she told me she loves long hair so she would be sure to not cut a lot.
CUT: I ended up getting side bangs and long layers. I love the volume it gave my hair and she trimmed about tow inches worth. I try to take very good care of my hair. I do not heat style it often, which helps. I also have learned not to wash my hair too much, because it is so much better for you to not strip natural oils from your hair.
WASH: When I do wash my hair, I use Moroccan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner. I recently started using it and I love the way it smells and makes my hair feel. I literally only need a pump of shampoo and two pumps of conditioner. With this duo, I feel the strength of my hair increasing overall. I honestly can say I would repurchase this. I also really love beautiful lengths by Pantene. I also have had a lot of success with mane and tail.
MY SECRET: I usually use a deep conditioner in the shower two times a week. My favorite is the three minute miracle by Aussie but I have tried so many that I love as well. This one is honestly just the most affordable so I usually repurchase it. I feel like this step always gives my hair the extra moisture it needs.
OTHER PRODUCTS: I always use heat protectant when I style. I always repurchase this tresseme one, it works so well for me so I'm sticking to it! I also use a detangled when I get out of the shower. I love this one by not your mother's.
Products I love:
Some tips & tricks I learned through my years:
- Sleep with a scrunchie! Hair ties can be rough on the hair and pull too much and scrunches are softer.
- If you style your hair, just protect it. Prevents split ends and breakage and increase hair growth.
- Cut your hair 2-3 times a year. This is a big one for me, I usually cut twice. I used to only cut every other year so I am making progress. It does help your hair grow and stay healthy.
- Leave in conditioners work! Oil treatments work! Take care of your hair and give it some TLC just like you would do for your skin.
- Comb hair in the shower. It is easier to run hair through and will have less fall out.
- Don't over wash your hair. I used to wash my hair everyday it was so horrible. At least skip a day and use some dry shampoo! This one is my favorite & I love this one too. My batiste favorite is second on the list of best dry-shampoos on reviews.com !
Xoxo,
Thank you for revealing your secret. Amazing post
