My Hair Health Journey

I’ve been in full obsession mode with making my hair healthier than it’s been in, well, forever. I was 13 the first time I dyed my hair and have been doing it ever since. I switched from foiling my hair to Balayage about 14 years ago and it allows me to spread out my appointments to just twice each year based on the hand painting technique they use to add the dye. But if you wear your hair long just think of how many years the end of your hair has seen and how many times it’s been colored! The damage definitely adds up!

So, here’s my hair health routine and it’s one I’ve see a quick turnaround on! I started taking a daily hair supplement and after the new growth started coming in I felt super encouraged to take even better care of my tresses! I began adding scalp oils, treatments, heat protectant, and double shampooing into my routine. The double shampoo is great if you only wash your hair 1-2x/week and use dry shampoo like I do. It helps get all of the buildup washed away! The changes are happening fast which is always so encouraging!

Washing Day: I use Fable & Mane HoliRoots Hair Oil ahead of time and massage my scalp with a special scalp massager brush. If I’m short on time I leave it on for about 30 mins before washing. If I plan ahead I’ll wear it overnight before washing day.

I double wash my hair in the shower and start with an exfoliating wash, Briogeo Scalp Revival, first and then follow with my regular shampoo (Currently, I love Olaplex and Dae). I often add in a deep conditioner on this day too (but only once every 7-10 days).

I always dry my hair with a blow dryer but now add a Hair Treatment, Living Proof Triple Bond Complex, and then wait ten minutes before adding heat. I also use a heat protectant, Kerastase Blond Absolu Cicaplasme, as well. A must!

Then I style normally!

Every Night: Each night I also rub in Kerastase Blond Absolu Serum Cicanuit (they do make one for darker hair). This is a hard serum that has really changed my ends! It also smells incredible!

If I was just getting started and could only get a couple of things, I would get a scalp oil, would start double shampooing, and get the night serum! Once you start seeing the changes you’ll get excited and want more, haha! I’m always on the hunt for other things loved by others so let me know if you have any other winning combos I need to know about!
