Transform Hair Care into Moments of Self-Care

While caring for your hair can feel mundane, it’s also something deeply personal. After all, your hair is such an important part of your overall style and sense of self.

No matter your hair type, taking the time to lovingly care for your tresses can have a profound impact on your overall well-being. It can bolster your confidence and ground you in the present moment.

Create a mindful hair care routine

Routines create a sense of peace and control; we enjoy doing familiar things and they make us feel better. A mindful hair care routine can be anything from setting your alarm a bit earlier so you can take your time with your hair and style it in a way that makes you feel confident. Alternatively, you can set aside one day per week that you’ll use to give yourself a nice moisturizing hair mask — something on Aveda’s offer should do the trick nicely. 

Check your current schedule and find a period when you can take some time for you and your hair that’s not just using a leave-in conditioner and airdrying it.

Try something new

You can always throw your hair up in a messy bun and call it a day. It’s easy to get used to one style and just rock it way past its expiration date, only doing your hair for important events. There’s no rule that says you’re only allowed to try a new style when you expect to be “seen.”

So book a haircut and ask for your stylist to try something new. Stepping out of your comfort zone is sometimes just what the doctor ordered.

Protect your hair

While winter care is important, you should always try to keep your hair safe from any kind of damage. Your hair needs protection from UV rays, heat tools, breakage, and more. Using nutriplenish or botanical repair Aveda products can keep your locks shiny and beautiful all year long.

Massage your scalp

Having your hair washed in a salon is one of the most invigorating feelings you can experience. So why not take some time to gently massage your scalp even at home? This ritual will not only feel great but will also boost blood flow and can even promote hair growth. Give yourself a scalp massage before washing your hair and you can even use some essential oils to elevate the sensory experience. You can even pick up a scalp brush and give yourself a soothing massage whenever you feel like it.

Final thoughts

Keep in mind that this is not an exhaustive list. When you’re creating or modifying your self-care routine, keep in mind that anything that makes your daily tasks more mindful will help.
