Words of Wisdom Fresh from the Locker Room
Winter dry air brings on itchy dry skin. One way to moisturize, (if you don’t have someone nearby to do this for you) is to slather lotion on a towel and, in the same way you dry your back in a diagonal motion with a towel, work the lotion into your skin while at the same time, exfoliating the dry skin.
I was not having a bad hair day, I was having a bad hair week….two weeks actually! It was heavy, oily, and limp.
It suddenly occurred to me that maybe it was the expensive shampoo and conditioner I was using, which is too heavy for my hair.
I was sharing my hair woes in the locker room and my friend Susan suggested that a little Dawn dish detergent on my hair would take care of it. It sure did. I didn’t even have to use the blow dryer, my hair was nice and fluffy again.
Since then, I have done some more reading about hair products and have gone back to experimenting with different combinations of baking soda, borax, apple cider vinegar, and honey a couple of times a week. Big difference. Just a reminder that although we often think about what we are putting IN our bodies, we also should be mindful of when we are putting ON our bodies.
