While on holidays in Spain I thought it's a good place to start my regular hair photo updates.
This September it has been exactly two years since I made a decision to divorce a hair dryer, hair bleach of any kind, hair styling products and harsh ingredients in shampoos (SLS etc.). My hair got a new, healthier life and look but as they grew, I discovered that this is only a beginning of my journey for beautiful hair.
It might be obvious for others but I only realised over the last couple of years that my hair will never be naturally thick, sleek and breathtaking just like I always admired in my Mediterranean sisters (and even in my Irish boyfriend).
Instead I learned I have very fine, delicate, sensitive and easily damaged by EVERYTHING (heat, cold, wind, salty or hard water, rubbing against harsh materials e.g. clothing as well as pillowcases) hair.
Let's have a look at my hair, for the photos I brushed them with Tangle Teezer :
Even short exposure to sun gives my hair blond highlights - the 'ombre' visible on the pictures is a souvenir from last year travelling to tropical SE Asia. I used to love this effect but I learned that the condition of my sun kissed hair is very bad (they are so dry and uncontrollable) and although I regularly oil and nourish them with masks, till today I can't bring them back to sleek, healthy condition.
My hair do shine in the sun but because of it's natural frizz in the shade they often look a bit dull. I also have tons of baby hair as I regularly take hair and nail supplements (e.g. B-complex, pure Biotin and Iron).
I have healthy, trimmed every 3 months ends, but it is the middle part of my hair I have the most problems with.

I believe a great part of the middle part of my hair problem is that I used to wear the hairstyle like below all the time. These days I avoid it as much as possible.
My hair routine evolves as the time goes and as I learn what my hair like and dislike. At the moment I am concentrating on keeping ends healthy and protected and I'm constantly looking for ways to provide and seal moisture into the full length of my hair, especially sun kissed ends.
