How I Get Bounce in my Midlife Straight Hair

How I Get Bounce in my Midlife Straight Hair

How I Get Bounce in my Midlife Straight Hair

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Guess what? Did you guess it was snowing again in Utah? You’d be right! I am so over it and really can’t wait for Spring. Today I am headed to lunch to meet some fun blogger friends I met online but haven’t met in person. One of the best things about social media is the friends you meet. Then, this evening, I have a live with the Chit Chat Chic Ladies and a family dinner. So, a very busy day. 

Tonight we are chatting about all things Hair and that inspired today’s blog post, and the funny thing is I had a hair tutorial reel already created to post. Talk about perfect timing. 

Did you know I have a weekly ? I send it out every Sunday. I’d love for you to be a part and get even more free content. You can sign up .

All about hair care:

What shampoo & conditioner are you currently using?

Evolv Ultra Shine Shampoo & Evolv Utra Shine Conditioner

Healthy Volume Trio

Optimize hair health with nutrient-rich, non-toxic, organic, and natural ingredients. Includes our beloved UltraShine Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner plus SmartVolume Leave-In Conditioner with natural flax to boost volume. Ultra Shine’s custom blend of nourishing antioxidants, amino and fatty acids, and a low pH (4.5-5.5) normalizes hair and adapts to what you need the most. 

A couple of years ago I was using Hair Biology shampoo and conditioner, I wrote a whole blog post on my experience, and Following in love with my hair again. you might want to go check it out as it’s an affordable brand.

How I Get Bounce in my Midlife Straight Hair

What hair mask are you currently loving?

I have two:  I love the Vegmore overnight hair mask, which you apply and wear overnight for Ultimate hydration and frizz reduction. Helps repair damage, protect color and enhance shine. Leaves hair feeling more vital.

Secondly, I am loving the, I am Stripes hair mask– the Crown Pleaser,  which you leave in about 5 min for improved shine, and a trio of plant extracts that revitalize and soften thinning hair.

2 Items I am Using Menopause Hair Loss

As I am aging and in menopause, I am losing hair, a common side effect that isn’t been discussed much until recently. Here are 2 products I have been using for over a year now and am seeing results with hair growing back in and stronger hair.

Scalp Treatment

The secret to healthy hair is a healthy scalp and GRO Scalp Detoxifying Serum by Vegmore is a fully comprehensive approach to scalp health that incorporates the use of proprietary phyto-actives, vegan proteins & minerals designed to work in tandem for optimal scalp and hair wellness.

Grow Hair Serum

Hair serum by Vegmore made from Organic plant actives has been clinically shown to help improve visible hair growth, help reduce fallout, and repair follicle damage while protecting the hair from external aggressors.

 

 

How I Get Bounce in my Midlife Straight Hair

 3 Hair Care Products I Use For Styling & How I Get Bounce and Body

– Hair Oil (to keep my hair shiny, and protected) a small drop in the palm of my hands use wet or dry

– Dry shampoo to add texture and volume, I use it at the root and ends I love Dry Bar and it smells fantastic, and I have been using Hair story powder, which is a loose powder and can be sprinkled on or I put in my hands and finger it in. You don’t go though the powder as fast. Both do the same job so it really is on preference. 

– Hair Spray on ends and at the root, then after each curl. Kendra Hair Spray is a game changer when it comes to hair spray. My favorite by far. Let me tell you I have tried them all, well almost!

My Hair Oil Story

Hair Oil

A Daily Treatment: This styling oil for hair helps smooth out frizz, add shine, and hide the signs of damage while softening texture. A blend of 8 essential oils does wonders for parched or frizzy areas when worked through hair – damp or dry. 

I’ve always had oily hair and as I have aged and with menopause kicking in, It’s been dry everywhere, but still oily at the roots. I didn’t add oil to my hair, thinking it would worsen.

I have learned hair takes the oil it needs, when you apply just a couple of drops to the palms of your hands, rub them together and apply them to the hair. Only use it in the middle and ends of my hair, avoiding my roots. This has helped with the brittleness and added shine back into my hair.

 

How I Get Bounce in my Midlife Straight Hair

 4 hair care tools you can’t live without – T3-micro  curling iron, makes all the difference for my hair type, as this is the only curling iron that, gives me a curl my hair holds. For drying hair, I use the T3 micro styling blow wand.

The Wet Brush Original Detangler helps your hair stay strong and healthy! Gently loosens knots, on wet or dry hair, without pulling or snagging. The moment you use it, you’ll feel the difference.

GRO Revitalizing Scalp Massager features a series of bristles that stimulate the scalp and boost scalp health, providing both an exhilarating scalp massage and a relaxing experience. Ideal for all hair types, this hand-held massager can be used on a dry scalp. I use mine in the shower when shampooing and conditioning hair. 

I have hairstyling tutorials available

  If you are visual, I have created several Reels on my Instagram. Here’s the one from today. I’ve also done tutorials and saved them to  Highlights. You might want to go check them out, as I think you’ll find them helpful.  More about this in this blog post Must hair Hair care items

 

A fun little speed round of hair Q&A

How often do you wash your hair?

I wash my hair twice a week or If I have an event or photoshoot maybe 3. 

 

Is your hair generally oily, dry, normal, or combo?

My Hair is oily, but as I age, it is getting dryer and dryer. 

 

Middle or side part?

Changing up my hair do’s is something I like to do, so I do my part, for how I am feeling that day. I also like to wear braids, top knots, side do’s, twists, etc. 

Do you do your hair down or up?

This question is answered above, as I like to wear my hair differently daily.

Fini’s just opened in Utah City (Vineyard) 

The Cafe severs NY Style coffees and cappuccinos, bagels  and smear, fresh baked, baked goods (the lemon poppyseed olive oil cake is delicious and sell a verity of NY favorite specialty grocery items and candies.

They be adding Sunday style dinners a couple nights a week, including their pasta, sandwiches, steaks  and salads 

A must… to finish off your meal, is a must try gelato fresh made daily 🍋🍋‍🟩

I bet you won’t believe me!! Guess where I found I bet you won’t believe me!!

Guess where I found these Darling Lemon Plates?🍋

Would you believe the Dollar Store for $1.50 each…

They had matching dinner plates, bowls and mugs… But Honestly…

A Great TIP is just to buy the Salad plates… Having an assortment of Themed or decorative salad plates can really change up your regular china for the seasons..

It’s an affordable tip that goes a long way, if you have A solid color china.

Plus a salad plate could also be used for a bread or dessert plate. 

I also like a little salad plate to serve a little breakfast muffin, bagel or croissant on…. 

You know I am a big advocate of romanticizing your everyday life and have a mixture of seasonal, yet affordable dishes can do just that…Don’t save your good china for “that” special occasion…. Use it daily❤️

Drop it like it’s HOT…. Balancing Menopause and m Drop it like it’s HOT….

Balancing Menopause and midlife can be tricky✔️

From weight gain, mood swings, sleepless nights, dry skin and lady parts, hair loss, eyesight issues, bone loss to personal summers (hot flashes)….. 

Boy hitting 40-50-60’s sounds fun 😅🤣 Actually, it really isn’t that bad, and life is what you make of it, Plus  getting old is a privilege….

In today’s time, we’re lucky because menopause is a Topic WE TALK about NOW, and we have more information and resources to HELP us, unlike our mothers.

Not everyone has every symptom nor do they experience every symptom. 

This is a topic I’ve shared a lot about over on my blog and in future more on my substack (join for free in my bio) 

Below ⬇️ are a few things I’ve found very helpful from my journey over the last 10 years to now, starting at about 44 years old.

-A Homeopathic Hormone replacement specialist- I went at 44 when I gained 12-15 pounds for no reason, had hair loss and wasn’t feeling like myself and went on Bio- identical hormone replacement for about 4 years and the weight feel off and I started to feel like myself again. I stopped I. 2020 due to not being able to get to doctors.. 

-Start a good clean supplement program (not a Doctor) but here’s what helped me.
Magnesium- zinc- Vitamin D3- vitamin K 
-a good women’s multivitamin - 
B-12 shots- Collagen- Colostrum- bone marrow- probiotic, a cranberry supplement and - creatine - NAD- primrose (I have a few others I take as well) full list is on blog 

- Doubled my water intake - (140-160 oz a day) added Fiber- chia seeds- pinch of salt to it … (I do 1/2 teaspoon baking soda twice a week) 

-Daily walks and I added a weighted vest about 4 years ago 

-A cup of warm lemon water to start the day 

- I shoot  for 100 grams of protein daily (I don’t always get this) I just try to get close

-Scalp treatments - Rosemary oil and rosemary supplements 

- Coolnight pjs and cooling sheets  I don’t get or experience hot flashes, but sleeping cooler help me sleep better❤️

- cleansing oil & after Shower oil help with dry skin

-Red light therapy mask helps facial skin and neck

- Derma-planing face helps skin texture and for products to sink in
