Is there too much going on this December, you feel your self-care ritual is slipping away from you? If things are beginning to feel less balanced in your life, you’ve come to the right place. With several holidays, shopping for presents, family gatherings, and work parties— have you come home feeling too exhausted to treat your hair and skin to the ritual you’ve worked so hard to apply this year?
Holiday fatigue is a real thing, and as self-care is still a modern concept for some to grasp, it often gets put on the back burner when we’re too exhausted to care. A shift in thinking may help alleviate the symptoms of this fact. Self-care is a gift to ourselves, not another chore. Every day, we show up to put care into the body that gets us through the world. Like a car needs a wash and maintenance, so does your hair and skin.
Carve time into your week to show up yourself, starting with a hair ritual that keeps your hair healthy and strong every time. You may already have an estranged routine that you’re ready to jump back into, but if you don’t, here’s a little hairscription to help you unplug this season.
There are two treatments every head of hair needs, in different amounts. For starters, every hair type benefits from being healthier, which is why OLAPLEX is for everyone! Moisture is also a top-tier need––even oily hair, at times, needs moisture. You know your hair best! Treat as often as you need repair and moisture with OLAPLEX Nº.0, Nº.3, and Nº.8.
Intense Bond Building
OLAPLEX Nº.0 and Nº.3 work together to rebuild broken hair. Inspired by the in-salon Stand Alone Treatment™, Nº.0 works as a primer as it dampens the hair with OLAPLEX’s patented bond-building concentrated formula. Apply to the hair, combing through to saturate, then leave the treatment on for ten minutes. Without rinsing, apply Nº.3 directly on top of Nº.0, combing through to saturate thoroughly again. Leave the treatment on for an additional ten minutes or longer, then shampoo and condition. Nº.3 is our best-seller, famous for its unmatched, incredible repair. If you can imagine, the benefits of Nº.3 are boosted when combined with Nº.0!
Moisture Mask
As we approach winter, we also approach the season of dry, brittle hair. Address dryness with Nº.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask while making dinner or decompressing with some TV. This mask provides intense moisture to treat damaged hair. It instantly smoothes hair, adds body and shine, and fully absorbs into the hair for a weightless finish. Apply Nº.8 to damp hair (perhaps after your Nº.0 and Nº.3 treatment), combing through to saturate the product into the hair thoroughly. Leave on for ten minutes, then rinse out and style as usual.
Sometimes all you really need is to step back and press pause. The biggest gift you can give yourself is the time to honor all that is you, and if OLAPLEX is a part of that journey— your hair will thank you.
