Long Locks and My favorite products!

Mermaid Hair | By Lifestyle blogger Elle Bowes

Babies are truly wonderful, aren’t they? My 2 little blessings came with lots of snuggles, smiles, and the inevitable, hair loss. This time around, the girl hormones really did a number on my hair so I went to my fav salon for some help! I loved the Olaplex treatment and it did a lot for my dryness from coloring it and the lack of shine from babies and exhaustion. It is a process to keep up with so I did a little research on some hair primers that would help slow down the damage going on with my hair.

Small disclaimer, since shooting for and writing this post, I did order a small trial kit from Kerastase and I am excited to compare it to what I have found! Anyways, back to what I LOVE.

First up, primer. It’s a must! These two have been so helpful for me! Right after the shower, I spray the Bumble and Bumble’s Invisible Oil Primer Bumble and Bumble’s Invisible Oil Primer on mostly my ends and then prime my hair with the Infusium Repair & Renew Smoothing Serum Infusium Repair & Renew Smoothing Serum. Another serum that I have loved is also by Infusium, The Miracle Therapy Infusium 23 Miracle Therapy Leave-In Treatment Serum. Both of these have allowed my hair to dry naturally without looking like a total hot mess express. The added benefit of no more frizz saved me from being a slave to my blow dryer!

If you’re struggling with the dry ends or breakage, treat yourself once a week to the Olaplex treatment! There are 3 stages but the No 3 is my favorite! Olaplex Hair Perfector Repairing Treatment It goes a long way and is like a face mask for your hair! And let’s be honest, what is better than an at home facial, hair mask, and a glass of wine?!

PS. I was chatting with my neighbor who owns a local spa and salon about hair care and getting her expertise. Her hubby is a Sales Rep for L’Oreal and also dished out about what products he recommends. She added that one of the best things for keeping your hair healthy is a great blow dryer! Nano Technology is key so if you are like me and ready to try it all, I will be getting a new blow dryer next!

Here’s what I have my eye on… BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Dryer

    I am currently struggling with hair issues as my last hair dresser completely fried my hair AND I’m pregnant with a little lady. I’ve been using Olaplex 3 and the whole Kerastase line along with some other great products. I’m interested in the supplement you mentioned. Do you happen to know if it’s safe during pregnancy? I was having a hard time find FAQs on the site.

A year before these were taken, she would swing he A year before these were taken, she would swing her head up so fast if I tried to pet her face. She thought I was going to hit her so she’d quickly throw her head up to avoid it. Slowly, she learned that I wasn’t there to hurt her. This was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had!
She rescued me in more ways than I rescued her 💕 I’m so grateful I have these forever memories captured by my sweet hubbie!
Remy Update ❤️‍🩹 Thank you for the prayer Remy Update ❤️‍🩹 Thank you for the prayers and support for Remy as always! We had so much encouragement in December when Remy did a 7 day Holter monitor on his heart. It’s not easy to get a 4 year old to wear a monitor attached to his chest 24-7 for 7 days but he did so amazing. We waited what felt like ages to hear from Dr. Brothers since it was over the holidays. Everett was next to me when the preview showed up and all we saw was, “I reviewed the heart rate monitor which was reassuring.” We both were shaking immediately. The emotions take over so quickly!! Remy’s overall results were great! He does have some PVCs (premature ventricular complexes). We will follow up in one year to make sure the frequency of them is staying low. These are very rare and are usually seen a normal heart which is interesting. So far, nothing to be concerned with! We are so grateful! Grow, Remy, grow! ❤️‍🩹

It’s been years since I’ve had to walk through It’s been years since I’ve had to walk through these fears and emotions. Unfortunately, I am asking for some big prayers so we can avoid the hospital. Remy has a bad cough that has come and gone and now returned. His saturations are dipping from low 90’s to high 80’s which I normally would call 911 for. I just texted his doctor and we are working hard to keep him from an ambulance ride. Please pray 🙏🏼 Thank you so much!
