My Haircare Routine

I’ve always been conscientious of treating my hair well, especially since I like being blonder than my natural color. It’s only been since going to Life and Colour (you can use my name when you book for a discount) that I’ve taken the health of my hair to the next level. Their focus is on health of your hair and color that is maintanable within your own personal capacity. As a busy working mom, I know I can’t go to the salon every 6-8 weeks, so the color we do is very “lived in” ie: has a very natural colored root. This is a mixture of balayage and hand painting and toning which my stylists put together for me at the beginning of the appt. This allows me to go 3-6 months between appointments without even noticing. Overall, my color routine is: brighter at the beginning of the summer, a tone up / gloss 3 months later, and then darker for the fall. I try to keep the darker fall color at least 6 months before going in for a touch up as I try to grow my hair as long as possible and find it easier to do in the winter when I’m more in hibernation mode. My biggest pet peeve in the world is a “line” when your root grows out and I never have this when I grow out my hair after my appointments at L&C. One thing to note is I almost always get a trim at every appointment. I know it feels like you’re always cutting your hair but I promise you your hair will look 100x better fresh and half an inch shorter than long and scraggly. THANK ME LATER. People always ask me who to go see but you really can’t go wrong. There are a ton of blonde specialists. If you have specific questions about stylists, I’d email them: hello@lifeandcolour.com

One other treatment I do 1-2x per year is the Cezanne smoothing treatment since I have naturally frizzy hair. It tames my frizz and allows me to air dry my hair into a cool beachy look. More about Cezanne here including a discount code for booking at L&C (SOPHIESMOOTH).

Now that you know how frequently I color and cut, I’ll break down my at home routine including product I use, supplements I take, and tools that I rely on to keep things healthy.

Supplements

You know I’m a firm believer in building beauty from the inside. These are a few of the supplements I rely on for my hair (and skin, and overall) health.

I hope that helps! xx
