Have you ever wanted to just start over, hit a reset button, take the knowledge you have now and call a do-over? While we can’t turn back time on a whim, a fresh start can easily be the case with your hair. 

We strive for that great style we see in magazines, on websites, on the red carpet, and pretty much anywhere the beautiful people live. In that quest, we tease, we blow dry, we color, we use products we shouldn’t, and our hair looks glorious. For one night. Then we pay the price.

The reset button

First of all, congratulations on reaching the point where you see the value in putting in effort and time to have healthy hair. It’s not an overnight process and if you’ve done some of the other journeys, you know this already. 

Once you hit the point where you no longer need instant gratification, you want long-lasting results—this is when we can really make a change.

Healthier, happier hair

There is no magic potion that will undo all the damage that’s been done. We will discuss hair detox myths in-depth, so we’re all on the same page with realistic expectations.

Then we’ll introduce you to some great hair detox recipes and show you ways you may have been harming your hair without even knowing it. We’ll also discuss what a healthy scalp looks like, and how you can take steps to get there.

One thing to remember throughout this journey is that we at Hair La Vie love all-natural hair care products. We stress using them a lot because we truly believe (and have the science to prove it) that, in the long run, you’ll have better results, healthier hair, and be happier with your crowning glory.

In addition to detox information, a few haircare recipes, and links to great products, we’ve got a lot of fun in store. Learn more about your hair and try some fun experiments, step back into ancient Egypt and discover how the poison they used for makeup might have protected them from illness.

Final thoughts

The best thing about this series is that we understand you’re now well into your personal journey toward amazing hair. But let’s be honest, this isn’t always easy, and you run into a lot of awkward stages along the way. 

To help you through, we have a useful article on growing out your natural hair color and some hairstyles that hide oily roots. Because sometimes you need a little help along the way, and we’re here to make those rough patches easier.

It’s a slow process, so the sooner you start, the faster you’ll get there.
