HOW I HEAL MY DRY WINTER HAIR

I know in California (especially San Francisco) it doesn’t get as snowy and cold as other areas of the country but I definitely can feel a difference in my hair when the weather changes.  For 2018 I’ve been trying to streamline my winter hair care routine and get back to the basics.  I’m always doing something with it–curling it, waving it, pulling it tight back into a ponytail–so giving my winter hair some love is high on my priorities for this season and the whole year!

How to Help your Dry Winter Hair

My biggest hair vices? I color it and use heat to curl and wave it.  My colorist Stacy Caitlin Hair is incredible with color and creates the prettiest shades of blonde in my naturally brunette hair.   The process is very gentle on my hair to lift the color, but I’m in need of extra moisture and care between my salon appointments.  As part of my between salon appointments and winter cold care, I’ve been focusing on bringing moisture back in so that my winter hair maintains its shine and softness.

Any given weekend, you can bet a trip to Costco is on my list–ha! It’s my favorite place to stock up on things (Lola’s favorite grain-free dog food, paper towels–you know those glamorous items!) and I recently discovered they carry the big liter size Nexxus shampoo and conditioner sets!  I’ve had Nexxus in my shower rotation for a couple years now (from this Thanksgiving boho-glam hair tutorial  and this summer picnic outfit and hairstyle) and was excited to pick up the new Nexxus Therappe Shampoo and Humectress Conditioner bundle pack.  I particularly love keeping liter size bottles in the shower for the pumps so I can speed through my shower routine.

And speaking of shower routine, I’ve noticed that using the Nexxus Therappe Shampoo and Humectress Conditioner that I’ve been overall using less product and therefore saving more money.  Typically with shampoo I’m filling up my entire palm of my hand with shampoo to get enough cleansing power to wash out oil buildup, dry shampoo and other product.  But I’ve noticed with Nexxus’ great lather I’m using about two pumps and getting my hair super clean and hydrated.

I’ve also changed up how I’m washing my winter hair to focus on cleaning at the roots and hydrating at the ends–instead of all over everything.  I feel like it has been gentler on my hair and less wasteful with product.  I’ll take my two pumps of Nexxus shampoo and focus it on my scalp rather than on my hair (trying my best to give you guys a visual here–haha).  I’ll run my fingers through my hair against my scalp and focus on creating lather at the scalp.  For me thats where I notice oil build up (benefit of oily skin…less winkles!) and there my dry shampoo build up is, and focus on getting that area clean and lathered.  Previously I would ball up all of my hair on top of my head into a big lathered mess–definitely a lot more work to brush out later.  Once I feel like my scalp has been thoroughly cleaned, I’ll rinse out the shampoo and let the lather run down the length of my hair giving it a gentle cleanse as it goes.

For conditioner, I’ll take the same two pumps of Nexxus and work it into my hair from my ears down.  I keep a hair clip in the shower and will tie my hair up and let the conditioner steam into my hair for a good five minutes or so while washing my face, etc.  When it’s time to rinse it out, I let the water do the work and feel my hair transform into cashmere.  I am completely serious when I say I’ve never felt a shampoo and conditioner combo make my hair feel so good in the shower.  So glad I found the liter sizes!

For today’s style, I washed my hair the night before with Nexxus and let it air dry.  This morning I took my curling rod and added a few curls throughout and noticed my ends feeling much more moisturized and sleek than usual.  Now I can make my hair look as good as Stacy does between salon appointments!

    I love Nexxus all the time. I use it all winter. If I don’t, my hair gets all dried out and frizzy, and just awful.

    I have to try Nexxus too. My hair gets a mind of its own during winter! Thank you for pointing me to the right product to tame my hair. Oh, BTW, I love those red ankle boots you wore in the photos!

    I love Nexxus products. They used to market a product called Emergencee to salons, but they don’t really do it anymore. If you want an absolute miracle product, try it! It literally fixes dry and damaged hair from the inside out using protein polymers. You can find it on Ebay and I promise you will love it. No more winter/summer/spring/fall dry hair… ever! xoxo

I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨ I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨
✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨ Three ✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨
Three months with this little guy and our worlds are rocked. He’s gone from just opening his eyes to rolling over, pushing himself up, grabbing at toys (and my phone as I type this out). He loves to laugh and talk in his baby language all day long 🤣 and sleeps all through the night 🙌🏼 How did we get so blessed with him?! @kmichaels216
Wedding Bells 💍 We are finally diving into some Wedding Bells 💍
We are finally diving into some wedding planning after our engagement last year and not going to lie, it’s overwhelming! We are super laid back and are looking for something small to celebrate. For me, this day isn’t about a big, fancy dress, or hundreds of guests to entertain. It’s about spending time with Kevin and I together committing our lives to one another. I was recommended to check out @shutterfly’s The Wedding Shop and mocked up an invite in this beautiful botanical print perfectly personalized to us and our style. Love our custom candle (smells so good!) and champagne flutes too! Check out my stories for more behind the scenes of unpacking our wedding items and some close ups! #MyShutterfly (ad)
CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week? CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week?
• This morning I had an eye exam to check my contacts / glasses Rx. I shared new glasses on Stories but turns out the Rx was wrong in them. I’m TRYING to wear my glasses more around the house and splurged on a pair from @ysl hoping that would help me do it 🤣🤓
• I haven’t been a big concealer wearer but I’ve been testing out the @urbandecaycosmetics naked concealer and have been liking how light it feels on my skin (I’m wearing it here, dress is new from @urbanoutfitters!)
• A work-related project this week—I’m trying to get my inbox of 700 emails down to zero. My problem is that I’ll get an email with some great piece of info in it and think “oh this is great! I can’t work on this right now but I’ll save for when I can” and I mark it unread. Well over time that has added up to 700 😬 I’m thinking of tackling it by sorting through and noting down whatever idea it is in my notebook (paper planner for LIFE! 📒) to reference it and have them all in one place. Maybe this will work!
• I’m currently sitting here watching this little baby sleep and the whole “I want to eat this baby” thing is SO REAL. What is it about babies where it makes us say that?!? He loves his @bibs_usa and @mushie_co!
• I’m considering cutting 3-4 inches from my hair....but here’s the kicker...I have this weird urge to DO IT MYSELF. Maybe I don’t want to put it off until I can get an appointment but I just want to cut it now. Please you guys, talk me out of doing this with scissors in the bathroom 🤣✂️
• Kevin and I have been binge watching @abcscandal and it’s SO ADDICTING. If you haven’t watched it, join us on Netflix but don’t blame me when you’re 2 episodes past your bedtime 😜 we are currently on season 4 of 7!
• WHAT ARE YOU UP TO THIS WEEK???
NEW MOM FASHION AND BEAUTY HACKS: 💁🏼‍♀️
1️⃣ Style your hair once ride that beautiful hair through the week with minimal effort. I use the @t3micro curling wand on day 1 fresh hair to put a little curl in it. On days 2-4 I use dry shampoo—my favorite is @livingproofinc to soak up oil, and then on days 5+ when dry shampoo doesn’t cut it anymore I throw on a cute beanie
2️⃣ Still trying to “bounce back” (whatever that means...) after baby? Same mama, same. @spanx leather-look leggings suck it all in and help as a postpartum support during healing. Win win!
3️⃣ Duster coats are the ONLY thing I want to wear. Not only do they keep you cozy as we wait for spring, but having pockets is NECESSARY for me. Phone in one, pacifier in another, and whatever other random things I need to bring with me when my arms are full with a baby
4️⃣ Lots of undereye concealer for that 8 hours of sleep look. @tartecosmetics shape tape is a favorite but I’ve been testing out @urbandecaycosmetics stay naked concealer and really like it for more natural coverage
MAMAS, WEIGH IN: What are you mom fashion and beauty hacks?! #newmomhacks
Our morning walk ritual ☺️ It’s still been a Our morning walk ritual ☺️
It’s still been a bit chilly out in the mornings but that doesn’t stop us from bundling up (in matching hats no less!) and going for a walk around our neighborhood. Baby carrying is a wonderful thing once you get the hang of it! I love how it gives you a bit of a workout with the added weight of a baby (Harrison is 11lbs now!) and gives them a chance to look around with a different view than the stroller. I can’t wait until he’s big enough to be front facing and then he can really look out at the world. I’ve been using the @nuna_usa @potterybarnkids CUDL carrier (this fabric is the broken arrow caviar) and my favorite feature are the magnetic clips that automatically snap into place to hold baby snugly. #lovemypbk
