My Hair MVP's

BTW my hair is more blonde now!

Sooo I actually have been getting a lot of questions about my hair, which makes me kind of laugh because I did not understand how to take care of hair for a long time. I think I started to figure out a hair routine that works for me about 2-ish years ago. At that time, I realized that I could not get up at 5am everyday to wash my hair before work. (also because this is not the greatest for your hair, ahah) I decided that I needed to revise my hair game plan, and this is what it has molded into over the past few years!

Here is my general routine- I do not strictly follow this, but this I try to stick to a schedule around this:

1. Washing my hair ever 2-3 days. I really cannot stretch it out must past this because my scalp gets SO oily, and workouts make it way harder to control the oil. I do sometimes schedule workouts around hair washing, lol, yeah I said it. 

2. Using dry shampoo before going to bed. I feel like this was the best thing I have EVER read for hair care advice. I cannot remember where I first saw it, but it has changed my dry shampoo game! If you put the dry shampoo on your hair before bed, then overnight, it works in as you sleep to soak up the oil. OMG this works SO well, and I usually only need some small touch-up's in the morning. 

3. I do NOT put product or condition on my roots/scalp. Doing this helps decrease oil production on my scalp and in my roots. It also helps to prolong time before washes because there is less oil production, which I think is great! The only things I put on the roots are dry shampoo, and a product that helps your hair come in thicker (not sure if that one works, hah).

4. I put a styling product in my hair before using any heat. I really think doing this has been helping with not completely frying my hair. I do like to use heat on it. I almost always blow dry my hair, and LOVE to curl it. If I do blow dry, I only completely dry the whole head if it is a freezing cold day out, otherwise, I dry the top and front sections.

5. I only color my hair 1-2 times per year. Something I discovered more recently was balayage. It is a technique to add color to your hair without doing a traditional highlight/foils situation. I have loved doing this, and find I only need to go back for color about once a year! The way the color is painted on the hair lets it grow out naturally, and you do not get harsh lines. It is so beautiful, and I always get compliments on my color because it can look different depending on how I style my hair. 

This is probably what you are here for: the products I use! I really just use products all from one brand except my dry shampoo. My MVP brand has been, and will always be Aveda. I love every single them from them, and my hair loves it too! And my holy grail dry shampoo is from Moroccanoil, and I get the light tones!
