Steem Women Club Contest #26 Your Care Day | Everything about Nail, Skin Care and Care by @yuceetoria

I remember the first time I told my mom that I wanted to have a haircut, she scolded me thoroughly never to think of such again or take such an action. A woman having her hair cut is seen as a taboo in our contemporary society, people tend to look at women with a very low cut or bald hair like someone who is wayward or sick, well I obeyed her at that time and didn't go ahead with my plan. I eventually carried out my plan when I went to my sister's place, she was in full support of what I wanted to do since she is all about carrying one's mind. Funny enough the low cut gives me serious confidence and courage in situations that seemed undoable. I also got to realize that having your hair cut does not mean that you are free from the problems of taking care of your hair, it is now that you have to look much more neater than when making hair.

These are the what I apply on my hair. It is cheaper for me as a student but you can visit the saloon for a full hair treatment which eats up a lot of money.

Every two days I wash my hair, apply gel and weavon gloss to make it shiner, this takes about 5-10 minute. Once the hair is gelled and styled, I can carry it for two or three days without making me look haggard. Sometimes I can decide to wash it everyday but usually that takes more time than necessary.

TIPS OF TAKING CARE OF THE HAIR

• Wash the hair regularly: If you think because you have a haircut that you are free from stress, sorry to burst your bubble but it is not so. It only makes things easier for you as you can wash the hair anytime you take a bath. I personally love the feel of cold water in the scalp especially after a long and stressful day. It relives the need to pull out your hair when restless and angry.

• Refrain from using shampoo and conditioner regularly: Even if you want to use shampoo and conditioner for your hair, try not to use them every time, that way your hair is nourished and look healthy. That does not mean that you shouldn't use, I sometimes use it to make my hair softer for easy styling. Bear in mind that the hair is not your usual long hair, so allow the hair to breathe.

• Visit a saloon regularly: It is advisable to visit your barber every month for a fresh haircut. The joy of visiting the saloon every three to four weeks is that I usually come back with a different look. I can decide to continue with the style I have on or can also decide to change my mind and look for a different one. One thing I know is that whatever style I choose for my hair always looks good on me. The fun part is that you are liberty to wear any kind of wig, that way people don't know how you are going to present to yourself, it makes you unpredictable.

CONCLUSION

Whatever you do people will talk about it. Some will support your decision while some will be against it with all their might but one thing I have learnt is that I do whatever I know is a right decision and makes me happy. My mum is now the one giving me hints of styles to barb when I visit the saloon. I carry this conviction into my life decisions, having more courage and confidence and making sure that nobody sways me from going for the gold.
Your hair is your identity
