ADAM GETS AN AT-HOME COVID HAIRCUT!

So as I’m sure most people can relate, it has gotten to that point in this COVID pandemic where Adam’s hair could use a good cut. After weeks of trying to convince him to let me cut it, he finally gave in *reluctantly* and gave me the go-ahead to try my hand. What followed was pure comedy. Watch this video we made for a good laugh!

PS, if anyone is looking for tips for cutting their boyfriend’s hair, all I used was these sheers and scissors. I started with the sheers on the highest number (16mm) and worked my way down (1mm). I also made sure to pay attention to the shape of his head so that I could get the shape right. We also found a picture halfway through of what we wanted, which made it so much easier than us originally going in blind.

Although this video is only 2.5 minutes long the whole process took about 2 hours as I was being cautious. Further, I ended up tightening it up over the next two days with 15-minute sessions using scissors just to give it time t0 see how the hair falls, moves naturally, etc

DIY NATURAL HAIR MASK TREATMENT

Quarantine has been a bit of an emotional roller coaster for many of us, myself included!

At first, I struggled to adapt to self-isolation and as a result, a lot of things I used to do beauty-wise, fell to the waist side. Now that time has gone by and I have had the time to properly adjust to the situation, I am trying to build a new and improved routine, one that involves a few extra self-love beauty practices like doing a DIY hair mask at home using natural ingredients.

Hair mask are great for a variety of reasons. For 1) they promote scalp health and can help balance the PH levels of your scalp making it either less oily or less flaky, 2) it can help strengthen the hair and reduce breakage, 3) it can add moisture back into your hair so that it feels softer and is shiny, and 4) it can actually help stimulate growth and thickness.

For me personally, I wanted to have something that added moisture back into my scalp and strengthen my hair so I used coconut oil, honey, banana, and egg in mine.

During the research and development phase of this blog post though what I quickly figured out about hair masks was that when it comes to ingredients any combination from the below list goes, it just depends on what kind of results you are after!

So next, I encourage you to take a look at the list of ingredients below and review their benefits before creating a hair mask that fits your personal hair needs.

EASY AT HOME GLOSS TREATMENT TO REVIVE BLONDE HAIR

Not sure about you but I have gotten to the point in self-isolation where my hair could use a little more love. It's been looking a little brassy lately and has been feeling dry so I decided to order an at-home gloss treatment kit from Lac and Co, and boy am I happy with the results.

The gloss treatment is perfect for anyone looking to revive their color and add some shine back into their hair. It also comes with a Virtue Labs Restorative Treatment Hair Mask so you can also take advantage of some extra hydration after you finish the treatment.

Not only does my hair smell amazing, but my colour is looking beautiful once more! On top of that, it also feels super soft, hydrated, and looking very shiny.

If you are looking for something to do at home that will give your locks a boost I definitely recommend checking this treatment out!
