Lesson #7

(FYI, I haven't been slacking. I have very limited internet access in my life right now, so that's my excuse for the missed days. Deal with it.)

Don’t wash your hair every day.

Ok, this one is more for girls.

I had heard for years that you weren’t supposed to wash your hair every day. It’s bad for your hair. I still don’t completely understand it, but I’ll go with it. Something about the natural oils blah blah blah.

Well, I never really paid attention to that. I figured that every time I got in the shower that meant I had to wash my hair. And then sometime in the past, maybe six months or so? I realized that just because you’re in the shower doesn’t mean you have to wash your hair. Shocking, I know!

So I started only washing my hair every other day. I haven’t been super consistent with that, but I have become one of those girls that doesn’t wash her hair every single day.

There have been a couple times in the last week where I got compliments from my boss and some friends saying I looked cute. (It’s been a while since I’ve tried to play the cute card, so it's nice.)

Well, on these particular days, it had been like 2 or 3 days since the last time I had washed my hair. I pulled my hair in a bun or a low ponytail and bobby pinned my out of control bangs back out of my face. Stuck a cheapo flower from an old dance costume in my hair. Bam. (I’ve realized that bam is kinda a new catch phrase of mine. Dunno where it came from, but I like it.)

Who knew that you could look cute with hair that hasn’t been washed for almost three days?
