that hair thing

Why does hair matter so much?

When my hair looks good, I do. And vice versa. And what is most disappointing, is that usually my hair falls in the vice-versa category

I have the best possible hair dryer. The Dyson.

Excellent brushes. 

Both a top colorist and hair cutter.

And in the hands of a professional, my hair can look good. But never in mine.

Weather has a huge effect. A great blow out can turn quickly into a frizz mess if it's raining, humid, or a host of other environmental possibilities. My hair basically looks good far less often than it looks bad. And when it looks bad, it looks really bad. Dry. Frizzy. Dull. Out of control.

So once a year I have a keratin treatment done. And today is that day.

I've been going to the Sergio Limpopo salon once a year since 2012. I started with Julie, but then she left, had a baby, and switched careers. She was amazing. 

So beginning last year, Sergio, has been my guy.

He is fast (in and out in an hour), flexible, professional, and a great person to talk to while my hair is being processed. 

I can't wash my hair for 24-hours and can't color it for two weeks. But the result, even today, is shinier, straighter, frizz-free, easy-to-manage hair.

I am now about ready for summer.
