Okay so for my first blog I thought I’d
start with something pretty poignant for me at the moment – my hair mare. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending what you like), this first post is a pretty juicy one as I guess it's also a bit of an intro but don't worry – future posts will be much less chunky!
Like
the rest of this generation of women, my hair has faced the extremes of drying,
straightening, highlighting, weather (cheers Yorkshire) and the occasional
clip-in of extensions. Unfortunately for us – all hair wreckers. As a bit of a
beauty junkie, I have always looked after my hair (heat protection, quality
products) but the sad, sad truth is my individual hairs are just so fine that
the merest glimpse at a GHD and it just breaks off. As a result, it refuses to
grow past what I call it’s nemesis length.
In the last year I’ve really turned the
haircare up several notches, I’m talking Moroccan Oil, Kerastase and Lee
Stafford ‘for hair that never grows past a certain length’ treatment. I even
forked out £30ish for the Nioxin 3 Step System which promised to spark regrowth
from the roots (but incidently feels like crap to use). I stopped straightening
(doable due to the hermit nature of third year life) and avoided bleached
highlights. FINALLY – after over a year, my hair has grown an extra inch and a
half at least past its nemesis length.
Then on Saturday, I went to the
hairdressers. Bye bye over a year’s worth of hard-earned hair growth, no thanks
to you non-listening, non-caring hairdresser. In any case, you can’t cry over
chopped hair (well actually you can but I drew the line after a day) and I
resign myself to encouraging my poor hairs to grow again for the next however
long it takes.
So there’s the introduction to my hair and
though I realise everyone has different hair problems, there’s gotta be plenty
of girls like me right? And lets face it – one look at the wonders of hair dye
and styling tools and there was just no going back. So I’m going to log over
the next few weeks the products which I find look after hair the best, restore
it and encourage it to grow those extra few centimetres. I might even post some
that I found didn’t work as well to help you all save money where it matters –
sometimes investing is just better than trying loads of products that don’t do
the job….
