Hello seastars! While I don't have any DIY photos for you today, I am writing this post to let you know I will be blogging about my top secret recipes in between the normal posts.
I don't have any images today to show you just how magnificent the hair mask I use is, but stay tuned, I'll drop what you need at the end of the post.
Now on to the actual topic, new habits, Yikes, I know, stay with me. It takes roughly 21 days to form a habit. It is possible to control them! I like to use notes and phone reminders in the first week or so to nudge me in the right direction. I also remind myself it's okay to slip up, new behavior is new and the brain is wired for the path of least resistance. Too bad for my brain, my heart decided on the opposite path. I just don't know when to quit. You have to be kind to yourself. Tell yourself you are not what the negative voice in your head says you are. You define yourself. If you catch yourself slipping, take a breath! It's totally normal to have off days. I like to do one small thing to keep myself on track. A shower, hair or face masks, talking to other people. Progress does not always look like leaps and bounds. Progress is just moving forward! We can do this, seastars. One step at a time. One thing I always forget is to look back and see how far I've come. Sometimes the future is daunting and feels impossible. The truth is, I've come a long way to be where I am and I can only go forward. That's your truth too! Where ever you are in your life, you have a history that carried you here, that doesn't mean it defines you, it just means you've walked a walk, And look at all that progress! Look how far you've come! I'm proud of you and I believe in you.
Okay! I've rambled at you, and if you're still reading this, you've earned a treat. Being a mermaid, I spend a ton of time in the water, which results in not so luscious hair. Please remember, this mask does not reverse or cure any damage or split ends, but it does make a dent.
Go to your cupboard and pull out honey, coconut oil, and vinegar. Both kinds of vinegar work, I prefer white. Mix the three ingredients in equal parts until it's a nice, thick pile of goo. Work your mask into your roots and coat your strands to the ends. I like to add a little extra coconut oil to my ends. Let the mask sit for at least 30 minutes. I'm super extra and leave it for up to 6 hours. Once your time is up, give your hair a good rinse in the shower. Shampoo and rinse once to work the oil out, then shower normally. You can absolutely condition too, but it won't be necessary. Air dry for best results but if you're in a rush, I'd suggest a towel or T-shirt instead of a hair blower.
If you try the mask and love the results, tell me all about it! I love hearing from you, seastars.
