Top 9 Ways to Stop Hair Breakage
Tired of those pesky split ends? Let’s talk break-ups… and how to get over them.
1. Buy a wet brush. Brush hair starting with ends and working your way up until tangles are out.
2. Toss cotton pillowcase & replace with satin. This reduces the friction that may occur while sleeping. Wrapping your hair in a satin cap is a great alternative as well, plus this can preserve your style!
3. Do not pull your hair back with a hair tie while your hair is wet. When your hair is wet, it’s in a weaker state, so having a hair tie tugging on it while it’s wet will cause breakage over time.
4. Using a heat protectant before applying heat to your hair (Psst. Our go-to is the Kevin Murphy Heat Defense) will preserve the integrity of your hair! Most heat protectants also help to prevent damage from outdoor elements. Shop here!
5. Using less heat if you’re noticing that your hair is breaking or has become weaker. There’s a lot of protective styles out there that can be beneficial to your hair health along with rockin’ a new do at the same time! Giving your hair a heat break will give your hair a chance to heal while you implement these other tips.
6 Practice changing your part so your hairline (home to your weakest hairs!) doesn’t have continued stress.
7. If you’re using a flat iron, be mindful to have the heat lower than 400 degrees. Personally, I like to stay in the 375 degree-390 degree range to play it safe. Also, be sure to only go over a section of hair 1 or two times. Any more than that will put major stress on your hair.
8. After washing your hair, do not vigorously dry your hair with a towel. Wrap a towel around your hair and scrunch up a few times to collect all the loose water. After that, do not rub the towel throughout your hair. That only welcomes a hair day of friction, frizz, and ongoing breakage!
9. Lastly, invest in a hair-bonding treatment. We recommend Olaplex! It will restore your hair's healthy appearance and texture by repairing damage and protecting hair structure. Shop the treatment here.
Single Mom Top 6 Must Haves
Is it even a surprise that being a mom means alone time is very limited? Being a single mom means your alone time is spread thinner than butter on a slice of bread (is that the right saying?)
My time to myself equates heavily to driving. I’m in my car 80% of the time it feels like - always on the go. So, most of my must-haves need to be things I can have in my car. There’s no doing makeup “before” the kids wake up because sleep is important. So how do I make sure I look like a human before work?
#1 Make-Up Bag.
My makeup bag needs to be small enough to not just be another item thrown around in my car, but big enough to fit my necessities. I can fit my foundation stick, brow pencil, tweezers, brushes, bronzer, a couple of lipsticks, mascara.
You may be a single mom but doesn’t mean you can’t look like a queen when you pull up to work.
#2 Ibuprofen.
You never know when a migraine is going to pop off so it’s best to be prepared. In mom world, you’ve got plenty of things that will prompt a headache, in the “single mom” world, with any sudden movements a throb can occur.
#3 Napkins, disinfectant wipes, baby wipes; anything you can wipe various messes up with.
This one is self-explanatory.
#4 Hair ties.
You never know when you have to pull her back and handles some hardcore mom shxt.
#5 Oils.
I’m an oily girl and I’ve got to have my lavender on me. This is a great stress reliever for all the mom stressors. I also love a good breather so sometimes you may find some eucalyptus oil on me, too.
#6 Snacks.
Hunger may strike at any given moment as you’re out and about. Saving time and money is very important to a mama so let’s not go wasting our hard earn cash on (funny snacks you can buy at fast food places). Not to mention, a hangry-mama is never good.
These here, will get you at least through a few hours of single mom-ing. I excluded a few items (a bottle of tequila) for obvious legal reasons. ✌🏼
