Hair Woes and Hair Foes! - #ChurchandDwight
While we
often complain about the long, cold Canadian climate, it is not uncommon for
us to see snow fall in March and even April... or May or June in Alberta - sigh. This means we are sporting toques,
trousers and too many layers to count for at least six (nine!) months of the year. So,
when the temperature finally soars into the double digits, we’re ready to take full
advantage of the sunshine and warmer weather.
As we
say goodbye to the hats that hide our unwashed hair and trade our long pants
for all the short shorts and skirts, I am sure I am not the only one who enters a state
of ‘hair emergency’.
Do I shampoo and blow dry every day?
Where did I put those
extra razors?
How much time am I going to need to get ready in the morning?
And
the list goes on...
This
year, I am vowing to sleep more and shave … never! Seriously! I’m also going dry…
dry shampoo that is.
I am sure you’re thinking: Tell me more!
Let’s
start with the locks. A good hair day can make all the difference but spending
time shampooing, conditioning and blow drying every morning (or even every other day) can leave you
frantic and frazzled. My new secret weapon for fabulous hair is Batiste Dry
Shampoo. If you haven’t heard of dry shampoo, I suggest you run, not walk, to
pick up a can of Batiste. It works to instantly revive oily hair, leaving it
looking and smelling clean and fresh. No wet washing required and most
importantly, no blow drying. Batiste comes in a variety of
fragrances – New Batiste Dry Shampoo Cherry is perfect for summer with
top notes of pear, melon, kiwi and wildberry!
If
you’ve never used dry shampoo before, don’t worry. It’s easy to use. Simply
shake the can well, hold 30 cm away from your hair, section & spray into roots.
Massage thoroughly with fingertips then brush and style as desired.
Then, there’s that hair that’s simply has to go. I’m talking about the stubble on your legs
that leaves you cringing when you reach for that pair of shorts or even worse - the bikini you’ve been hiding in the back of your closet all winter. I’m trading
my razor this summer for the new Nair Nourish Crème for Legs & Body.
A hair remover cream with Grape Seed Oil plus Antioxidant Rich Resveratrol,
Not only does it remove the hair in as little as three minutes (yes, three minutes), it also leaves skin moisturized with a youthful glow and with smooth skin for
days longer than shaving. Did you read that? Days!!!!
Tip:
Stock up! Keep a tube of Nair in your bathroom at home, in the bathroom at the
cottage/cabin/summer home and a third one in your gym bag. The minute you spot
the stubble, you’ll have it on hand. All it takes is three minutes and a quick
shower or damp cloth to rinse!
So... am I
your hair hero or what?
This summer it’s all about getting your beauty rest,
looking fabulous, feeling healthy and rocking those short shorts.
P.S.
Between the summer heat and a jam-packed schedule, it’s easy to let healthy eating slip by the wayside. To ensure
your body is getting the nutrients it needs, try adding a multivitamin to your daily
health and beauty routine. A complete multivitamin such as the Vitafusion
Women’s Complete Multivitamin is a great option. It’s specially formulated
to meet our needs and comes in an easy-to-take, delicious gummy. It includes
Biotin and helps maintain hair, skin and nail health – ensuring you glow from
the inside out this summer!
