Every year, the same pattern happens time and time again. Just before the summertime, ladies (including myself) come into the salon dying to cut all their hair off. Then of course, come wintertime, we’re all regretting it and wishing our hair would just grow already! Although our hair grows at an average rate of ½ an inch per month, we all know it’s impossible to become Rapunzel overnight. Good news is, I’m here to tell you a couple of healthy tricks to grow long, natural hair!
1.Keep Hair Hydrated
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times! Hydration is the key to everything! Hydration starts from the inside and works its way out. That’s why doctors recommend 8 glasses of water a day. Not only will you notice a difference in your skin when you start keeping up with your water intake, you will also notice a difference with your hair! Using a conditioner whenever you wash is equally as important. Kerastase’s Nutritive line was rated number 1 by InStyle for hair moisture! I promise you’ll notice a difference in your hair after one shampoo.
2.Protein
Not the kind that’s in chicken! I’m talking about a good hair masque infused with protein! It’s so, so important to be applying a masque once a week in order to keep your hair super healthy. If you’ve been keeping up with my blogs though, you know not to leave any masque with protein on your hair for longer than 20 minutes! This is super important because an excess of protein can cause adverse effects on your hair!
3.Reduce Heat Use
This is a tip I think we can all benefit from! Unless you’re super talented at blowing out our own hair (or in our Blowout Club) then you’re probably rough drying your hair and then using a hot tool as well. This is one of the worst things we can do to our hair! Reduce as much heat use as possible! This is easier said than done, especially in the winter time. In the summer, we can get away with letting our hair air dry from the beach and such, otherwise.
4.Handle Gently
Brush, brush, brush! Handle your hair as if it is the finest, softest silk you’ve ever touched! Brush your hair often and brush it well! Use scrunchies instead of elastic hair ties. Be gentle with your hair by tying it up in a looser bun rather than a super tight pony tail. This will decrease your amount of breakage and help your hair grow super long!
5.Seal in Moisture
Aside from drinking lots of water, you will also need to moisturize your hair on the outside! Along with doing masques once a week, try using some oil on your hair. Kerastase makes four Elixir oils that are customized for exactly what you need and they’re extremely beneficial. There is one for colored hair, aged hair, damaged hair, and coarse hair. Discuss with your stylist which oil will suit your needs best and apply this to your hair every single day!

We’ve all got some bad habits, don’t we? Statistics show that in just 30 days you can make or break a habit, so I’ve gathered up 5 of the worst ones for your skin that you might be making – some of which you might not even be conscious of! Make sure you’re not making any of these silly little mistakes listed in 
This is the worst and most common mistake of all! Sleeping with concealer and powders caked on all over your face is literally blocking your pores. It’s not just your brain that needs to shut down every night. Your skin also needs this time of rest to breathe and stay healthy! By keeping your lashes all clumped up with mascara throughout the night, you’re actually causing yourself to lose more! This one is an easy fix – keep makeup wipes close by. Put a pack inside your nightstand so even if you do forget, and you’re too lazy to get back out of bed, you can grab a wipe and clean yourself up before you go to sleep for the night!
Yuck! This isn’t one you’re going to want to hear, but so many teeny-tiny microscopic bacteria live on your makeup brushes. Even grosser than that, your dead skin cells build up on your foundation sponges! Germs love dark, wet places and keeping your brushes at the bottom of your makeup bag (and almost never cleaning them) is actually allowing more and more germs to grow. You need to break those brushes out, clean them out, and leave them out for good! Try decorating a cute little mason jar to put your brushes in and display them on your 
Thankfully over the years, statistics have shown the number of smokers in the U.S. have gone way, way down! I’m sure we have all heard of the terrible health hazards that come with smoking, but you should know that it’s also terrible for your skin! Cigarette smoke contains carbon dioxide, which dehydrates your skin and in turn, causes you to wrinkle faster! There are more than 4,000 chemicals in tobacco smoke, which trigger the destruction of elastin and collagen. Smokers tend to develop lines around the lips, get age spots, and overall age prematurely. None of this is to offend anyone who does smoke, I’m just putting these facts out there for those who do not know! If you do quit smoking, blood flow will improve and your skin will receive more oxygen and nutrients.
This one is super, super important! Did you know you’re supposed to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day? Well, you are!!! Keeping hydrated is the key ingredient to beautiful skin. It is crucial for you to hydrate from the inside out, drinking lots of water will flush out your entire system, including your skin! Water has the ability to rid your skin of impurities and cause your skin to look clearer than ever! An easy way to break this bad habit is to keep track of how much water you’re drinking – there are plenty of free apps you can download that will even track it for you! I recommend keeping a water bottle with you at all times, whether in your purse, in your car, or at your desk!
Every makeup artist you meet will tell you to never apply makeup directly with your hands because of all of the dirt and bacteria on your hands! Think about it, we touch everything with our hands – door knobs, shopping carts, money, etc. These are some of the germy-est things in the world! These nasty germs won’t just give you bad skin, they can also make you sick. It is so important not to touch your face! If you think you can’t resist, just be sure to keep conscious of what you’re touching and how often you’re washing your hands.
