I feel like a little kid whose been told to,"Go to your room". The new normal feels surreal. Staying at home feels weird. No work, no play, just stay. This is a time where we are feeling scared (no one wants to get sick,lose their business,or job), unsure (what happens next?) and trying to keep upbeat and positive. (Silly jokes, memes, and photos bombard social media).
If we are all hunkered down at home,Why Is everyone worried about their roots coming in and their extensions hanging by a thread? Or their nails looking horrendous? Why worry if your hairstyle is grown out? Because looking good is a huge part of feeling good! When we look good we feel like we can take on anything! So how do we look good when all the salons are closed?
Now is a great time to play around with hairstyles and to care for your hair and skin. You can do a hair masque easily. Take your deep conditioner and leave it on for 30 minutes,rinse and feel thirsty, winter dry hair rejuvenated. (We didn't always have time for that before). Dig into your bathroom closet and find all those face masques that you've been wanting to use. Put oil around your cuticles and on hands and feet to hydrate dry skin (use coconut oil or olive oil). What to do about scary roots? Look for all those eye shadow palettes you've been collecting and find a color close your your hair color. Utilizing a makeup brush apply shadow to the regrowth that is visible. This lasts a day or two, or when you next shampoo. This can tied you over for a month. Remember to thoroughly shampoo the shadow off of your scalp. (This was a trick we used to use in the movies, before they had all of those root camouflage products).

Now for fun! This is a time to play with new hairstyles.The three looks pictured on Davina are a fun way to play.The first style her hair is down and dried natural. Next using a small curling iron I took random pieces and defined her beautiful curls, resulting in a more polished look. Get out your hot tools and experiment!
Her second look is a quick and easy up sweep that looks great with jeans or an evening dress. I simply pinned up her curls with bobbie pins and let some curls escape for a soft look. Find all of your pins, barrettes, hair ties and headbands and have fun and get creative with them!
Her final look is playful and fun. I twirled up her curls into knots and pinned them up in a Mohawk fashion. This look is fun for dancing the night away,even at home. So grab a glass of wine, get out your hair styling tools, face time with your friends and host a hair party! Send me your looks, I would love to see your (hair)do's.
