Over the past eight months or so, I have been sharing honest reviews of my different beauty routines, including my skincare and makeup. Today, I wanted to add another installment to this series by sharing a little bit about what I have been doing with my hair. I used to have the longest hair EVER and cut it very short after my sophomore year of college, and have kept it at a shorter length ever since. Right now, I am growing my hair out, but come summertime I am sure that I will cut it again.
Since my last haircut, which I believe was in July 2018, I have stopped using conditioner in my hair. I was having difficulty styling my hair when it was short and my mom recommended that I cut out conditioner, which can weigh your hair down. I haven't had any problems styling it since, and also haven't noticed any major tangling, either.
I also have avoided washing my hair every day. Typically I wash it every other day or every third day depending on how greasy it looks/feels. It is often suggested that over-washing your hair can be damaging, and this also helps me have shorter (more eco-friendly) showers.

I began taking biotin during the summer because I have very weak nails that often break or peel, and I wanted to try out vitamins that would help with this. I have noticed positive results with my nails from taking biotin, but I have also gotten comments about how my hair looks shiny and healthy, which might also be because of the biotin. Additionally, I feel like my hair is growing pretty quickly and biotin may also be the cause of fast growth.
I'm not too picky about the products I use in my hair, and right now my shampoo is Keratin Komplex Keratin Care Shampoo. This was recommended to my sister by my hairdresser, and I have been using it as well since it's already in my shower (lol). I don't use any other products in my hair, and I usually let my hair air dry about 85% of the way before blowdrying on the warm setting. When my hair is shorter, I blow dry right away, or else my hair is very difficult to style. When it is time to style my hair for a special occasion or holiday, I will either use this heated hairbrush or a basic flat iron to smooth my hair and make it really straight. However, that is a rare occurrence that I will maybe do 10 times a year maximum, and the results often last more than one day.

I never expected to have the kind of low maintenance hair routine that I do today, but I honestly am super into it! I love that I only use a handful of products or less and that I am getting more skilled at styling my hair quickly when it is short. The few products that I do use are not natural, which is something that I would like to test out in the upcoming months and years as I hope to become more eco-friendly. But for now, I am very impressed with the simplicity of my routine and the results that it has given me.
