Formulate Review & Giveaway
Hi y'all! Today I am taking a little break from talking outfit details (still listed below though) to talk to you about the next most important part of any look: hair. As most of you know, I did a major hair chop late last summer. It quickly became apparent that I would have to find new ways to style my hair, the old stuff just wasn't working for my new length. After almost a year I have kind of gotten the hang of it - practice makes perfect!
Because short hair is a bit more unruly I had to spend a lot more time using heat on my hair than I was used to. I went from air dried natural curls to blow drying, straightening and curling multiple times a week. When you're damaging your hair to such an extent you have to take extra care to make sure it stays as healthy as possible. Here are some tips I learned along the way:
1. I wash it every other day or so to avoid unnecessary styling
2. Dry shampoo always helps add a little volume on those in between days
3. Know your hair type and treat it accordingly
That last one is definitely the trickiest, which is why I am super excited to introduce you guys to Formulate! Formulate is a company that sends you shampoo and conditioner that is 100% made for you. You start by taking a quiz to determine your hair type and to pick goals for your hair. My personal goals were anti-frizz, color protection, glossiness, length and oil control but there are so many to choose from!
Soon enough I got my first set in the mail. I couldn't wait to try it out, only to find that my hair felt....well, weird after. I had been told that Formulate is a sulfate-free shampoo and that my hair might need to adjust if this was new. Still, I couldn't get myself to love the formulation. And here's the best part: Formulate worked with me until I found the perfect combination for me and my hair. No extra charge, no hassle - just a brand new set until we found a match.
I am really happy with my results and I would love to see y'all treating your hair right which is why I have teamed up with Formulate for a giveaway! All you have to do is click the link below to enter a personalized shampoo and conditioner set. Good luck!!
