Do you suffer from tress stress?

Shiny, bouncy, healthy hair – it’s undoubtedly at the top of every woman’s beauty wish list.  But as much as we treasure our tresses, we put them through torture!  Speaking from experience (and on behalf of all my girlfriends) a bad hair day can ruin my mood, not to mention that I feel very self conscious and want to hide away from the world!  I could be wearing a designer frock while having a bad-hair day and still feel awful or I could be wearing a potato sack while experiencing an awesome hair day, feeling on top of the world!  Weird?  Some people may think this is an extreme statement, but I think most of you would agree with me.

Hair Psychology

Yes, this real affliction has even been studied at Harvard Uni and Yale!  They found that women actually felt younger after a haircut, colour or both AND it actually showed a drop in blood pressure!   So gals, wouldn’t you agree that it’s extremely important for our health (LOL!) to make sure that our hair always looks good?! 

Apart from “good health”, our hair plays an important part in our self expression.   It’s the first thing people notice about us!  When you look good, you feel more confident.  It’s easier to go out there and get what you want when you’re feeling good.  Research has shown that when you’re feeling positive and good about yourself, things go better for us.   On the other hand, a study at Yale determined that when hair mis-bhave’s, people felt that their self-esteem dropped, increasing social insecurity, self criticism and had an overall negative effect on their mood.

Your hair will bhave™ even if you don’t!


Fear not!  All is not lost!

Get regular haircuts

The first and most important aspect of creating more good hair days is getting regular hair cuts.  I believe in spending more in this department (you get what you pay for!).  It is important to find a hairdresser that listens to you, but will also help you with a style that works with your shape face, hair texture and lifestyle.  When you spend more, you are in the safe hands of an expert stylist who will help you on your journey to attain the “I feel awesome!” look.

Healthy-hair diet 

I know I may sound like your mother now, but this does make a difference!  Make sure you nourish your hair from the inside as well as the outside.  Eat a healthy balanced diet that will feed your hair the essential nutrients it needs.  Eat plenty of proteins (animal and/or vegetable) as your hair is made up of proteins (keratin), vitamins (helps hair growth) and essential oils (keeps hair moisturised).  Not only will your hair look good, but you will feel good too!  Double whammy!

Use good hair products

I cannot stress enough how important it is to use the right products.  A good cut is always a good start, but if you don’t use the correct products at home, your bad hair days will return quicker than you can say “bad hair day!” 

That’s where we come in!  The bhave™ hair care collection has been developed in conjunction with hair industry experts who understand your hair care needs.   Enriched with Replicine™ Functional Keratin® (would you believe that it is almost identical to the naturally occurring keratin in your hair?), the bhave™ products have been designed with your hair health in mind.  Each bhave™ product has been carefully created and blended to both restore and deeply fortify your hair, leaving it extraordinarily shiny, silky and well-bhaved, right from day one!   

NOW YOU CAN GO OUT AND CONQUER THE WORLD!


Yours in beautiful hair xx
