Healthy Hair Challenge 2020: Commit to treating your locks with love!

[TeamBIC]

This summer, Team BIC is ~upgrading~ our hair care routines to give our tresses some good ol’ TLC … and we want you to join us! We’re calling on you to come up with at least one healthy hair habit that will help you achieve your #HairGoals, and challenge you to check in about once a week to hold yourself accountable and share your progress. Maybe you’ll consider avoiding heat tools, or even start incorporating that hair oil you’ve had in your stash for ages into your regular routine. If you’re experiencing any breakage from color or chemical treatments, or simply want to nurture your natural hair texture, this one’s for you! Bye-bye, damage - it’s healthy hair’s time to shine. 😎✨

Feel free to post your selfies and product photos, or just discuss how you plan to maintain or achieve healthy hair as a part of this challenge! We’re so excited to embark on a little journey together, and hope to hear all your product recommendations, tips, and tricks to ultimate hair and scalp health.

@PaulaB4  Beautiful curls!

[curlychiquita]

Your curls look pretty, @PaulaB4!

[PaulaB4]

thank you.  I'm still looking for a gel hair product for 2B fine hair, most gel products seem to weigh my hair down.  Any suggestions?

[curlychiquita]

 Today was a good hair day:

1) I shampooed with Christophe Robin Color Shield Shampoo 

2) I slept overnight in Kiehl's Since 1851 Olive Fruit Oil Deeply Repairative Hair Pak 

3) I applied a generous amount of Kérastase Elixir Ultime Oil Serum 3.4 oz/ 100 mL while soaking wet

4) Applied Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Heat and Humidity Gel.

Because I color and highlight my hair (I'm 45, so going gray), I also often use Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector Pre-Shampoo Hair Repair Treatment 3.3 oz/ 100 mL and a collection of other deep conditioners.

P.S. Eyeshadow and lipstick are PAT McGRATH LABS Mothership VII Eyeshadow Palette - Divine Rose Collection 10 x 0.047 oz./ 1.32 g

and PAT McGRATH LABS MatteTrance™ Lipstick Candy Flip

First off, beautiful hair @curlychiquita. Second, no way you're 45! And lastly, any recommendations of Olaplex 3 application. I need to finally give the bottle I bought a whirl and see what the magic is all about.

[curlychiquita]

Thank you, @ShortErica! 💗 For the Olaplex, I wash my hair first because I have products in it that usually have silicones. I towel dry it as much as I can.  I apply a liberal amount to make sure my hair is saturated, comb it through, put on a shower cap, and sleep in it. Then I wash it out and condition in the morning.  You don't have to sleep in it, though. Because my hair is so course, I go through 1.5 to 2 ounces each time, so the treatment is expensive. I only use it every two weeks. I deep condition with other items in between.

Made my successful step toward healthier hair when i cut off about 3 inches of grown out double-bleached hair (done in one day by myself 😢). Shortly after quarantine began, I thought ... I should bleach my hair and go silver, which destroyed my hair texture, behavior, and frizz was EVERYWHERE. I purchased Olaplex no.3 Hair perfector about a month ago, which has helped a TON. Now for the products... Today I ended up ordering some new products focused on my hair concerns which were based on hours of research and reading reviews!! I ordered: -Living Proof Restore Shampoo -Living Proof Full Conditioner -Living Proof Full Dry Volume Blast -IGK 1-800-HOLD ME Hairspray Can anyone attest to these products individually (or together) for fine hair that falls flat after blow drying and styling? I chose the Restore shampoo for something a bit more gentle and hydrating vs. the Full shampoo! Already have the Living Proof Restore Blowout Concentrate, which is amazing. Anyone have experience with these??

Checking in after trying out a few new products for my curl routine. I mentioned in an earlier post that I think I have a solid **shower** hair care routine, but my styling game could use a little help. I either need more moisture or more hold depending on the day, so this is what I tried:

Mizani 25 Miracle Milk Heat Protectant Leave-In Conditioner 8.5 oz/ 250 mL - I actually got the sample size just to give it a whirl and I love it. My only qualm is that it’s a spray and not a cream. with sprays I always feel like I’m using way too much. How do I regulate? More is more, amirite?

Moroccanoil Curl Defining Cream 8.5 oz/ 250 mL - tried and true. Love the smell. Great for curl definition. Been on this for 5+ years.

adwoa beauty Baomint™ Moisturizing Curl Defining Gel 16 oz/ 453 g - “gels” always make me nervous, but this was really more like a cream gel (see goop shot above, 1 day late for texture tues). I like that it’s in an easy to access jar bc I need a lot of product. But surprisingly, I felt like I may actually be able to try this bad boy with a moisture product only. Would love to cut down on the number of steps! Will mess around with routine and amount of product and check in again soon.

@TeamBIC I've skipped flat ironing the past two weeks.  I'm telling myself it's to give my hair a break and it's b/c of this thread - not due to laziness or the heat!

[ather]

@greeneyedgirl107  I have been skipping blow drying and straightening my hair to help!!
