2020 The Year of Selfcare: My hair
Calling this the year of Self Care. Im getting all the trappings done on myself, not just because im getting old, its more on im realising the need to love myself and care for myself more.
Ive been taking care of others for all my life (still do!) so im taking this whole year to put myself first, and this is what ive been doing, first off, my hair!
Hair, ask any girl and they will tell you that their hair is more than just a crowning glory. Its our everything. Changing our hair changes our appearance, our mood, our outlook. In the past 2-3 years ive damaged my hair more than I can count. I used to have long hair but i chopped it off, bleached it, bleached it again, coloured it darker, coloured it lighter etc. My hair fall was catastrophic and was afraid that Ive damaged it beyond repair.
So I left my hair alone for a full year, let it grow and when the length is enough that I dont look like a boy, I chopped off the bleached part.
I still have it coloured (auburn) but Im also getting it treated every 2-3 weeks with Keratin and Hair Oils.
If im not leaving, im not putting chemicals on (shampoo or conditioner) it. Thats the rule. I dont wet my hair to give it a weekly break. I dont brush my hair when its still fully wet, and leave it to air dry.
I dont put my hair in a bun thats too tight and stopped using heating tools unless its necessary.
Now my hair is amazing, long, thick and most importantly, healthy!
Lastly, this is the shampoo and conditioner that I currently use. Its a bit pricey but it takes care of my hair, my hair now is soft and smooth, its not oily and its super mild and it lessened my hair fall.
