Winters are devastating for the hair. We all know that now, by experience.
Now personally, i am not a get up, wash hair and blow dry kinda girl. In fact in the year 2014 i spent a year blow drying my hair. So every single time i would wash it, i would run for a blow dry for it to be perfect.
As i was nearing 2015, there was something that happened in my Life which had me closed into a ball for more than 7 months. More about that later. I choke when i think of such terrible times but i am glad its over and my Daddy is stronger than ever.
During the time, i had no time, inclination or want to go and do myself a favor by fixing my hair. and in all reality i was a frizzy mess. I realized that over a period of time my hair had become coarse, brittle, and had no gloss, shine or health left. They only visibly looked ok cos of the constant blow dries. But anyways to cut a long story short, i cut out Heat Drying from my Life for almost a year. I used serums, made my hair into buns, or did upstyles that didnt require my hair looking good down. in the end i had a ball of healthier, shinier and much better hair after one year.
So coming back to 2016 which is ending, i still keep blow drying for occasions and rarely like to do much to my hair. And of course every now and then we wake up with a severely BAD HAIR DAY. For most people, running to the salon is the only option. I have figured out some interesting solutions below. I hope this helps everyone reading this!
1) Middle parting & back bun - I use this Gisou Honey Infushed hair oil ( its all over my Instagram page guys) in my hair at night and sleep and when i wake up i have the most, glossy, moisure infused and gorgeous smelling hair ever. In the morning i do a slick and clean middle parting, and roll the back into a soft messy bun. That look requires no work, Literally none!
2) When my hair is a frizzy ball - I take the front strands of my hair ( often refered to as the Bangs) and i use a hair volumizer and squirt it into the roots. Onto the stands i spray any heat protectant spray ( i love the coconut water from OGX) and i use a hair iron on this little set of hair. I twirl the bangs tightly and then use the iron over the twisted area. it leaves you with a perfect natural finish front set of hair. As for the back, you can either tie it using pins into a messy unkept top bun, or braid it into a messy side braid. This style actually looks like its done, and no one would guess you woke up on the wrong side of the bed!
3) No time to wash? - Ahaan, this my friends, is where DRY SHAMPOOS step in. I am crazy. I wash my hair every darn day. Whoever said too much washing is harming, is completely wrong, by my standards. Since i wash daily, my hair is healthy, happy, smells amazing and never loses bounce ( falls less too!)
But then there are lazy days, long work days, no hot water days, and many other situations when i cannot wash my hair for a stretch of even 3 to 4 days ( normal for some people, super yucky for me!)
On these days i pick up a fabulous Dry Shampoo and spray it all over my roots. I push my hair down and run my fingers through the scalp. Personal favv? A drug store dry shampoo called Batiste Dry Shampoo - available in all Boots Pharmacies. So after the shake shake and once all the excess oil is absorbed, and the hair looks more voluminous, and shiny, i puff the front of the hair, and put up a clip on a partial bit of hair, leaving the back hair down. This gives you an old time Mariah Carey kinda of look without the extra work.
Hope you guys liked the Less Heat, more Health, and no bad hair days article!
Love you guys!!!!!
