Splitting Hairs

Happy Monday!  To remind, you can leave comments or questions on this thread.  Scroll to the bottom to see where. 

I am all about body positivity and not conforming to societal beauty norms.  I truly think women should feel comfortable aging and not feel pressure to fight the clock or look 20 years younger.  That said, I really don’t love the way I look with gray hair.  I tried.  I did.  During the beginning of the lockdown in 2020 when we couldn’t go to salons, I let my hair go and I was not happy.  I see other women with gray hair and think they look gorgeous and I also think how nice it must be to not have to maintain coloring their hair.  Ugh, the time and expense is A LOT.  Plus I am very sensitive to chemicals in beauty products, especially hair products.

I do get many questions about my hair color and products, so let’s discuss!  I have tried many salon hair colors and they all give me a massive headache except O&M which my colorist at Blow Me Away Salon uses.  I have been coloring my hair since I was 40 years old.  I used to go every 8 weeks and now I have to go every 4 weeks.  Recently, I noticed that my grays are coming in faster and I really need to go every 3 weeks but I’m not doing that.  I was recently offered Madison Reed’s Root Perfection Root Touch Up Kit to try and I let it sit in my bathroom for 6 months.  I was terrified to try it.  Finally I did and OMG this product is a game changer.  Easy, inexpensive, quick and matched my color perfectly.  Plus, it did not give me any reaction.  I asked them if we could collaborate on a reel so I just posted a sponsored reel on instagram. I am not required to share on my newsletter, and this link is not an affiliate link or tracked at all, but I am sharing here because I think this is a fabulous product and I just bought 6 kits from Walmart.  I will use it 3 weeks after salon color and then extend my salon treatments to every 6 weeks.  So happy!!

I have been using Beauty Counter shampoo and conditioner for years, and I am going to try Madison Reed shampoo and conditioner now. Desiree Brown is my Beauty Counter consultant.

Agent Nateur Holi Mane Has anyone used this?  It’s expensive but I would love to try it. I’ve read good things.

My daughters use Sugar Bear Hair gummies and love them for keeping their hair thicker.

I use this reverse tapered curling wand to style my hair.  Great product and good value.

I keep this Revlon Hair Dryer Brush at my mom’s house and it works great. For some reason, at my house in Manhattan Beach, I need something stronger to smooth out my hair.  I don’t understand it.  I use this Dyson hair dryer, but I’ve always wondered about the Dyson Air Wrap.  Anyone love that one??

As always, let’s share any fabulous finds with each other here!
