Managing Mom Hair
“Gray hair is a blessing. Ask any bald man.”
March 28, 2016
Hello Beautiful Mama! Thank you for dropping by, I'm excited to share my 2nd blog entry and get more momentum here now that I just started an instagram account last week! My blogs are going to straight to the point, so here we go!
Here I am 7 months pregnant. The little baby bangs are crazy right? Pregnancy hair and post partum hair are hard to manage. Here are 3 tricks!
1) Covering that gray hair or your roots growing in
My gray hairs have been coming in so strong since I started having kids. It could also be a mix of genetics or the fact that I've entered my forties! Regardless, I have found 2 amazing products that allow me to extend time before going to my colorist to cover my roots. They are also great SAFE options for when you are pregnant. I use this crayon and this wand and it works well enough to be out and about. I highly recommend them both. I mosied into my nearby beauty supply store and the owner introduced me to them, I wanted to pass that along. This is by no means a sponsored ad for either company! Just a tip for you mamas. The crayon needs to run under the water for a second, and you draw it on the hair line. The wand is like a mascara wand and you stroke it on, it s a little messier. The crayon, since it is more waxy will hold flyways too. Take your pick!
Granted this photo was taken in the morning on the left and at night on the right, you can see that my gray hairs are coming in FULL FORCE!
2) Losing Hair, thanks baby....
We all enjoy the lush hair that comes in with our pregnancy and then we freak out when we see clumps of hair collecting down the drain right? The It's a 10 Miracle leave-in product is a godsend. It is pricier than most after shower conditioners and the packaging is just not sexy so you may have noticed it but it doesn't scream "BUY ME!" The results are worth the price!
3) Mom Bun
I was sick of having my mom bun collapse after 2.2 minutes until I realized that there was more than just one type of hair elastic out there. Enter these life savers! Goody "All day hold" elastics an really keep my bun at the top of my head, instead of a sad, saggy bun!
Enjoy ladies!
