Updated Hair Story and HONEST Product Reviews

I’ve always had a love hate relationship with my hair and I figured its time for me to learn how to better take care of it!

Having depression I definitely lack haircare most of the time and i can go DAYS without brushing it causing my hair to get extremely tangled or matted. Because of this I constantly get stuck feeling helpless like my hair isn’t going to look any different so just toss it up and on the good days when I do brush i see the damage I’ve done with lack of care..

Finding small easy changes for me to accomplish even on the hard days has helped me a lot and I feel like sharing my progress here doing what I did might help someone who is in my position and feel less alone.

👍Pros: developing a routine and learning what works for you.

🤔Cons: this shampoo and conditioner brand might not work for you and thats okay! Not all hair is the same and others might have more or less damaged hair than you!

💰Price: shampoo and conditioner $12 each (target)

Hair towels/scrunches: $6-9.00 (tjmaxx)

... Read moreTaking care of your hair requires patience and consistency, especially when dealing with challenges like depression that can hinder routine maintenance. In exploring my journey, I've realized that even the smallest changes can lead to significant improvements in hair health. For starters, consider the benefits of using specific hair products designed for your hair type, such as moisturizing shampoos and conditioners that can combat dryness and frizz. I switched to Saltair's Control Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner, which initially felt tough on my hair but eventually yielded fantastic results after a few washes. Using the right tools is equally crucial; switching to hair towels designed for less snagging and opting for snag-free scrunchies can prevent breakage and reduce hair fallout. Additionally, adopting new hairstyles like braids rather than tight buns can significantly lower hair loss while providing a stylish look. Paying attention to how you treat your hair immediately post-shower can also enhance manageability. Incorporating leave-in conditioners effectively detangles hair, reducing the struggle that many face when brushing wet hair. Embracing vulnerability in sharing your hair journey can also build connections with others going through similar experiences. Whether you’re looking for community support or sharing product reviews, join conversations through hashtags like #haircare and #embarrassment. By integrating these simple yet impactful changes into your routine, you pave the way for healthier hair and a more positive relationship with your hair care regimen.
