Winter Hair Tips & Tricks

November 4, 2015
[button link=”http://www.hairsprayandhighheels.net/disclosure-content-uses/” target=”_blank” color=”D” align=”right”]SPONSORED[/button]

When harsh winter weather hits it can be make or break for our hair. Every November I start to take stock of my hair products and make a list of everything I need to grab to keep my hair looking and feeling fabulous through the season. Especially for all of the upcoming holiday parties. I want to be able to keep it fresh and styled without it falling flat and being too dried out, which is what happens to my every  day hair in the winter months.  Everything I use during the summer months really doesn’t cut it when the seasons change, and just as you change out your wardrobe you’ll want to switch up your hair products too. This way, when it comes to glamming up your everyday look for a special occasion or holiday party you’ll be good to go.

Before Winter Hair Prep

A good hair day starts in the shower, you want to make sure you’re washing and conditioning with the best possible products for your hair. Since I’m currently rocking a light lavender and violet shade I went with Quantum Perfect Plums.

Winter Hair Tips & Tricks

This particular shampoo and conditioner keeps my hair moisturized and also keeps my color looking fresh. I definitely don’t want to attend any holiday parties with faded hair.

Winter Hair Tips & Tricks

Next up is style, instead of my normal everyday straight hair I wanted to add a bit of volume and a little side braid for my holiday party look. Biotera Ultra Thick And Full InstaPlump Leave-In Treatment is perfect to spritz on damp hair for instant volume.

Winter Hair Care Tips & Tricks

Winter Hair Tips & Tricks

You should be using a heat protectant all the time but especially in the winter to help protect your hair while using styling tools, I’m obsessing over BTZ Turn Up The Heat Protection Spray. Just spritz a little on before you’re going to apply heat. To dry and plump my hair today I’m using the Jilbere Ceramic Tools 1000W Hot Air Brush, I love the volume I get right at the root when I use this. I have thin hair so for me this dries, straightens and volumizes my hair all in one shot.

Winter Hair Tips & Tricks

Winter Hair Tips & TricksOnce my hair is straight and dry, I just do a simple braid on the side and pin it at the back of my head and take a tiny bit of BTZ Smooth Criminal balm, which is technically a blowout balm but can multi task to keep your braid frizz free and smooth, and I just rub a tiny bit on my fingers and apply it to the braid. To finish it off, I use ION Color Defense Hydrolac Hair Spray.

Winter Hair Tips & Tricks

There you have it, a simple and easy holiday hair look that just enhances what you’re already doing each day and also you get some tips and tricks to protect your hair in the winter. I’ve also got to give a shout out to this fabulous lipstick, Royal Rum from Palladio is my jam, I’ve been wearing every day for a week, it’s gorgeous. Be sure to head to Sally Beauty for all of your winter-prep hair needs.

Instagram post 2192621539170211925_31480883 We’re hitting that time of year where every diet/program/tummy tea/magic pill is going to be shoved down your throat. Your social media feed will be full of it. It’ll be on billboards when you’re driving. You’ll start seeing ads for “Special Pricing for women for just $10/mth” because you know we only really care if women are fat. Must change the women. 🙄 Drink this for weight loss. Cut the carbs. Don’t eat that. Juice cleanse this detox tea that. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
This is your reminder that your size does not define you. Your worth is not held in a number on a scale. The tag in those jeans? It means nothing. You can be healthy at ANY size. BMI is bullshit. Sugar is not a sin. Carbs are fine. Exercise is not a punishment. Food does not have a moral compass. That piece of cake does not equal failure. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
In years past I’ve felt pressured to have a weight loss related goal or resolution when entering the new year. Sometimes that feeling was crippling. And this year? IDGAF. Not one single fuck. This is me 🤷🏼‍♀️ If you have a weight loss goal, that’s cool. I’m just here to remind you that you don’t NEED one to be the best version of you. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
If you’re looking for non-weight related goals for the new year... here are mine: ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
• Get Stronger ⠀
• Take no shit ⠀
• Sleep more ⠀
• Travel my state ⠀
• Drink more water ⠀
• Try a yoga class ⠀
• Take the train to NYC ⠀
• Go to the beach more⠀
• Lift heavier⠀
• More date nights⠀
• Be still⠀
• Read more books ⠀
• Nurture connections⠀
• Make 2020 my bitch ⠀

The last few days I’ve been feeling off. Down? Maybe.. Anxious? Absolutely. Stressed? Yep. Work drained me. Jim got sick so our schedule is out of whack. I’ve felt like there’s not enough time in the day to do everything I think I should be doing. Deadlines. My cats knocked over a full glass of soda onto my just cleaned floor. I slept on the couch to try to stay away from Jims cold and woke up miserable. I thought all day it was a day earlier then it was. I hated my dinner. All tiny little things that trigger my anxiety when happening all at once. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
Here’s a strange way my anxiety and depression presents. Whenever I even feel it starting to creep in a tiny bit I get SO ANGRY at myself. Like I’ve done something wrong even when I know I haven’t. I get angry at myself for not having a plan to turn it around. Full on rage that I can’t even figure out why it’s happening. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
Usually when that happens I’ll force myself to figure it out. Plan it out. Make a list. But right now? Right now I’m choosing to just sit with myself. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
We all deal with the shit that comes with life. Big or small. Life is sometimes a bitch. And that’s fine. We get to do it all again tomorrow. Just a gentle reminder that it’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to just stop and let your body rest. It’ll all be there in the morning. Give yourself permission to just be still if you must. ■ ⠀
