Rose Compared to Hair & Skin

Roses from May 2015

       


         Hair, are like the roses in my front yard. When well cared for they bloom beautifully and bountiful. The same can be said of hair, at least my hair. When I take care of my hair it shines beautifully, feeling full. Healthy.
             Years ago one of my favorite indulgents was to go to Marinello Beauty School and get my hair trimmed, washed and blow dried for less then 20 dollars. Today I have it trimmed by my sister and I do the washing and drying. I may be saving myself 20 dollars but I so miss the pampering.
      One thing I have read is that when a woman reaches a certain age - menopause - her skin and hair changes. I can say yes, at least for me, there is a difference. My skin is dryer and my hair is thinner. I have in the past salved on the skin creams and conditioned my hair after washing; but now those rituals are not enough. So last month I began taking a nutrition supplement Biotin and now I am debating if it is worth buying another bottle. Skin is still dry and hair may have a few more new growths (which I call fly aways - you know those short hairs that just ruins the ponytail) only it's hard to tell since about every 3 to 4 months they often appear. I really can't tell if there is a difference in my hair to say yes buy another bottle

Today's Rose

        I look for home DIY and inexpensive ways to keep my skin and hair looking young. Next week I will try brushing my skin and salt my hair. The brushing of the skin is to exfoliate and stimulate the skin cells, making the skin healthier. Salt for the hair does the same (exfoliate the scalp) and helps clean the hair follicles. The salt is a new notion to me in helping hair growth so I would need to read more about that.
    Sometimes I wish my friend didn't move so far away, she is taking cosmetology, because I would so let her play with my hair or my cousin's little girl (well, grown up little girl). But they live far far away and traveling to one other the other just to get my hair washed is really out of the budget.
     I wonder if the combination of Biotin and exfoliating will make a difference .....  that will have to be for another post. And if any of you know for sure it works or any other rituals for hair and skin, I would love to hear from you.
