What Would Rapunzel Do?

Hello Lovely Locks..Its Friday once again and you know who I am… Beckie!

I always feel like I can’t surprise you readers with our Certified Fabulous topics, unless you only read on Fridays but that wouldn’t be good! So as you know, we’ve been sharing our go to shampoo and conditioners this week.

I believe the first time I took the plunge and colored my hair I was 17.  Back then it was just for fun and well , to see the reaction on my parent’s faces.  Now it’s more of a necessity.  Yes, my dear friends, I have officially inherited my Mother’s gray hair.  Technology has come a long way in the hair color realm.  I’ve noticed that my hair doesn’t feel as fried or dried out.  Using good products helps a little too.

In the past couple of years, I’ve noticed with hormone changes, child bearing and age that I need to step up my hair care a bit.  I’ve realized that not all shampoos are created equal.  It’s important if you do color your hair to find a shampoo that is sulfate free.  Shampoos with sulfates in them will strip the color from the shaft. One of my favorites is, of course, Aveda’s Color Conserve shampoo and conditioner.  With its aromatherapy smell and nourishing ingredients, it makes my hair happy and manageable.

Another shampoo that came recommended by my hair angel, Mandy, is Pureology’s Hydrate Shampoo and conditioner.  Again, I can’t say anything bad about this product.  

It’s awesome!  As women, we always want our hair to smell good and let me tell you, it’s like heaven in a bottle.  As I’ve mentioned before, I do a lot of traveling.  Sometimes I’ll forget to throw in my personal shampoo and have to use “hotel” shampoo and I can totally tell the difference.  My hair feels dry and practically depressed!

I know that the other girls have talked about using Keratin oils too.  Since my hair is thin and long, just using conditioner, especially in the colder months, isn’t enough.  So back in July, I received a sample of a hair serum that is hands down the best!  It’s from Obliphica.  This serum is derived from the Sea Buckthorn fruit and helps restore the damage that we do to our hair every day.  I use it every time I wash my hair and can definitely tell when I don’t.  I would recommend this product to anyone that blow dries, curls, straightens or any other way you can abuse your hair.

So until next week… here are some fun facts for you.

Hair Facts:

The numbers of hairs on the head vary with the hair's natural color. Redheads have about 90,000. Black, 108,000. Brown, 140,000. And blondes not only have more fun, they have more hair too. They have about 140,000.

There is an average of 1,000 hairs per square inch. I guess that means the bigger your head is, the more hair you have.

Be good to each other!

Cheers
