5 TIPS TO BATTLING OILY HAIR

I’ve been blessed with oily hair and dry skin. Lucky me, right?

 

I was one of those people who had to wash their hair every single day. And before you say “you need to teach your hair to not get oily!”… trust me, I’ve tried. I’ve also tried so many products that claim to help make your hair less oily, and while many were complete busts, I have learned some tricks along the way. So if you suffer like I do and want perfect second day hair (yes, the photo below was actually second day hair for me), you’ll want to try a few things.
1. Shampoo your hair twice: When I heard to try this, my eyes widened like I learned the meaning of life. Every time I wash my hair I shampoo twice, once for an initial clean, and a second time for a deep clean.
2. Never put conditioner on your scalp: This may seem like a no-brainer, but I didn’t even think of not putting conditioner all over my hair. I’ve learned that conditioning my hair starting at the ends and spreading it to about 4-inches away from my scalp helps keep my hair from being too oily.
3. Let your dry shampoo sit overnight in your hair: This is probably one of my favorite beauty tips. I learned it from Jess at Bows and Sequins on her blog. Usually I wash my hair at night, and for the second night, I put in a powdered dry shampoo generously at my roots. At first I look like I’m seriously going grey, but by the time I wake up, the powder has soaked up all of the oil. It’s seriously magic. One of my favorite dry shampoos is Verb’s product, which is very reasonably priced and lasts a long time (and I use it every other day). It also has minimal smell and never makes me feel like I have dry shampoo in. And you can shop it at Sephora!
4. Try apple cider vinegar: Seriously. Apple cider vinegar works as a rinse to get all of the junk off your scalp. Add a few tablespoons to a cup of water and pour on your hair, letting it soak for a few minutes. Rinse with cold water, and you’re done!
5. Rinse your hair in cold water: I’m not too sure if this helps with oily hair, but I notice a significant difference when I rinse my hair with ice cold water. Usually I do this after I’m out of the shower after my usual routine, and rinse my hair in the tub. The results? Ultra shiny hair. So worth the few seconds of coldness.

I’m all in this season and fully invested, because what else do I have to do on a Monday night other than judge a ton of people on a reality show? Also, what is up with Queen Victoria?
We are HUGE @DisneyPlus fans in this family and no We are HUGE @DisneyPlus fans in this family and now that Jude is getting older, we’re really loving family movie nights! So we’re SO excited for Disney+’s new original movie Flora & Ulysses, streaming February 19th! Flora & Ulysses is about a girl named who befriends a squirrel she rescues named Ulysses, and learns he possesses unique superhero powers that take them on an adventure that changes Flora’s life. I also love that it’s based on a book, and I can’t wait for Jude to watch it since he’s obsessed with the squirrels in our neighborhood. 😂 You can swipe right to check or visit the link in my bio to watch the full trailer for @Floraandulysses, streaming exclusively on Disney+ February 19th! @DisneyStudios #FloraAndUlysses #DisneyPlus #ad #hbtfloraulysses
Got a little weather FOMO when I saw it was snowin Got a little weather FOMO when I saw it was snowing in Chicago, but we took the boys to a nearby botanical garden (we were the only people there) and enjoyed the 70 degree weather so much, I stopped missing the snow reaaaal quick. 😉 Also the @sollybaby wrap may be our most used baby product. It’s so comfortable, easy to put on, and Heath absolutely loves it. I may start carrying Olive in it when he’s too big for it.
Hooray for 3 months! 💙We’re officially out of Hooray for 3 months! 💙We’re officially out of the fourth trimester and we’re really starting to see his little personality come through. He gives the most hilarious judgmental looks (who can blame him? He’s a 2020 baby), smiles when anyone talks to him, and loves to watch his big brother play.  He’s only been here for a few days but he’s loving the Florida sunshine! ☀️ #heyheathjoseph #childhoodunplugged #babyboy #lifewithlittles
After driving 24 hours we finally made it to paren After driving 24 hours we finally made it to parents’ house in Florida! Driving with two kids under two, two dogs, and enough suitcases to dress an army was hectic to say the least, but it’s always the crazy ideas that make the best memories. And even though we’re not going anywhere, the change of scenery and ability to be outside is going to be such a treat for us. Jude is already living his best life in nothing but a diaper while Olive has already traumatized the ducks in the backyard. 😂 Side note: this gallery wall at their house is my favorite, and I can’t believe how much Jude looks like my dad as a baby (third photo from the top left!) #heyjudeharrison
