Confession: Everyday Can Be A Good Hair Day

Who are you? Who does your hair say you are?

Are you a Rocker? Business type? Fashionista? Hippie? Stuck in the eighties?

Maybe you don’t care what you look like. No matter who you are, there is some aspect of your hair you love and want to play up or change or even fix. We don’t have control over genetics, but we do have control over our hair.

With over 100,000 hairs on your head, it’s hard for a girl to make everyday a good hair day, that’s a lot of teamwork! On top of that, everyone’s hair is different because of genetics, environment, stress, humidity, products (don’t get me started on that subject) and lack of hair-care knowledge.

It wasn’t always this way. Once upon a time, hair was for protection and warmth but as helmets and hats were introduced, hair got it’s own makeover. Hair has been redefined to be a direct reflection of how we feel and who we are. We all have had bad hair days that seem to ruin our entire day.  On the other hand, we all have a good hair day that makes everything a little more exciting than it is. We begin to see that silver lining in the storm of bad hair days. What if we told you everyday could be a good hair day?

The Challenge: How do you beat genetics and make everyday a good hairday?

First Step: Acceptance. Find something you can like about your hair and focus on that. What do you like? Is it your bouncy curls? Texture? Color?

Second Step: Get help. DO ask your stylist to help you solve the problems that you may be experiencing and GET YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED.  Don’t leave with a ‘sort-of’ answer. Leave the gossip aside and get down to business.

This relationship goes both ways and if you don’t tell your stylist your concerns, they can’t help you.  If you do tell them and are not getting the help you need, please let them know and if still no satisfaction, it’s time to move on.

Third Step: Maintenance! Protect your investment by using the right products and taking the time to give you hair the attention it needs. Follow your stylists advice: whether it is a deep conditioner every week or a haircut every six.
