🚿Are you washing your hair too often? Or not enough? Not everyone has the same answer to this question because we all have different hair types and lifestyles. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

💁🏽♀️ If, you are a fine-hair type, have an oily scalp, and work out daily, I recommend washing 4-5 times a week. I get it if you feel like you have to shampoo after each workout, but if you can push through a few days I promise your hair and scalp will feel less oily. You can wet your hair between shampoos, and just condition the mid lengths to ends as an alternative. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

👱🏾♀️ Dry hair types should wash up to twice a week to prevent dehydration. Your products should focus on moisture and heat protection to hydrate and protect. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤓 I recently learned that you can actually wash your hair TOO MUCH and cause "hygral fatigue". This happens when your hair is compromised due to moisture entering and exiting the cuticle too often. Do you ever feel like your really fancy shampoo and conditioners all of the sudden is making your hair feel gross? It's probably because your hair is over exhausted from using it too often. Slow down, skip a few days or even try alternating in something a little less intense. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🙀 You can also NOT wash your hair ENOUGH. Loading your roots up with dry shampoo and root powders to extend your wash is great for a day or so, but it ends up clogging your pores and leads to excessive build-up. Dandruff, itchy scalp and even tiny pimples can breakout because of it! IF you have thick hair or curly hair, I recommend washing your hair less, but notice when waiting too long has started to affect your scalp. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🧖🏽♀️ I push my blow outs as long as I can, but have a pretty consistent schedule at 1-2 times a week. I mask every other wash, and ALWAYS use heat protecting agents before I style.

REAL TALK 🗣 Running your own business is HARD! I offer mobile and in-salon services, I do hair and makeup for weddings and photo shoots, I host makeup classes, I manage all scheduling AND I create ALL of my own marketing content. Nothing is outsourced in this girls biz and I am proud to share that! 😊 To anyone thinking about entering into self-employment... do your research. 👩🏽💻 Find mentors, and like-minded people and keep them close. Also know the #entrepreneur feed is NOT REAL LIFE and make sure you’re building person to person relationships. I will be honest... I have days that really make me question if all of the work is worth it. Some nights I come home almost in tears because I feel overwhelmed. 🤪 But even in the hardest moments, I breathe, maybe cry, tell my boyfriend I need a hug, and just trust that it will be ok. I remind myself why I even wanted to work for myself and the joy it brings me hearing how happy my clients are. I remind myself that IT IS WORTH IT. 🙏🏽 Entrepreneurship may not be for everyone... but you won’t ever know unless you try. I am trying, I believe I am doing the right thing and I'm definitely not quitting anytime soon! 😏
