8 hair secrets to save time

April 7, 2020Beauty1

 

Let’s face it ladies. When our hair looks good, we feel good. It is in fact our crowning glory. And I think all of us want to save time wherever we can, hair should not steal so much of our time.

 

  • Put conditioner from the mids of your ends to prevent build-up and let your blowdry last longer.

 

  • Sleep on a satin pillow case or use a silk bonnet to prevent frizz.

 

  • Dry your hair with a cotton t-shirt instead of a towel. It is gentler on your tresses.

 

  • Go for a regular trim. It makes your hair appear healthier and well kept.

 

  • Have a few go-to hairstyles up your sleeve for that day 3 hair. A French plat, messy bun or a high bun is always a winner.

 

  • Use accessories to keep your hair in place or to add femininity.

 

  • Use sulphate free shampoo to ensure your hair doesn’t dry out and needs extra attention as a result of damage.

 

  • Wear protective styles in winter, it allows you to sleep a little later but most importantly it protects your hair against the harsh cold weather.

 

  • If all else fails, put a cap on and add some hoops!

Love,

Authentic Mom xoxo

I never skip🤭:
-hair
-make-up

How do you save money on groceries? I saw @keepin How do you save money on groceries?

I saw @keepingupwiththeceez and @themomdiariesza talked about the food prices recently, and I have to agree, we feel it too😔

Wow, did food prices increase or did it INCREASE👀 I have always been mindful of my shopping, but I had to adjust it more to suit my pocket.

A few things we do:
-work out a menu including snacks
-grow easy veggies at home
-use our rewards cards
