Three Hee Clicks - How to Keep Your Hair Healthy During the Dry Fall/Winter Season

Photography by the talented and sweet Jaime Salinas

I don’t know about you but as soon as the temperatures start dropping and moisture leaves the air I’m affected head to toe. I feel like I am constantly rotating between exfoliating and moisturizing. I find that my scalp seems dry, my hair and my body all are affected by weather swings and the change in humidity. I’ve found the key to any issue regarding your skin or hair is best addressed early and often! Here are a few tips for managing your hair this Fall and Winter season for shiny, healthy locks!

Start with a Scalp Treatment

If you think about it, your entire head is covered by skin right? So if it’s important to exfoliate for cell turnover then you may want to consider a treatment to combat a dry scalp. Dry scalps are almost synonmoys with thick and/or curly hair. One of the signs are dry flakes or being itchy. Try using Head & Shoulders Scalp Detoxifying Pre-Wash Mask with Eucalyptus and Mint once every couple of weeks to ensure you keep your scalp flake free! It’s also perfect to stick in your suitcase if you have holiday travel plans!

Minimize Your Washes and Heat

Things that strip your hair of natural oils include heat appliances and washing your hair every day. It took me a few weeks, but about a year ago I started washing my hair less and less. I realized the less I washed my hair the more my body adjusted to the routine. Now I wash it about once a week leaving locks so much healthier than they’ve ever been! I also use a heat protectant like Chi 44 Iron Guard before you use a curling wand or straightener.

Moisturize Your Locks

Conditioner and leave - in conditioner are as vital as water this time of the year. Start in the shower by using a wide tooth comb to apply a conditioner like Tigi Bed Head Urban Antidotes Resurrection Conditioner. It leaves my strands so smooth immediately after rinsing. If you color treat or have damaged hair you’ll notice a major difference! After rinsing clean, use a towel to de-frizz your strands and dry then add Biosilk Silk Therapy Treatment.

I’d love for you guys to share a little about how you combat dry hair! Please share in the comments or shoot me an email at threeheelclicksblog@gmail.com.

Anti-aging Skincare Serums

Since I’m almost 40 I’ve been paying so much more attention over the past few years to keep my skin looking healthy and vibrant. We recently purchased the Anespa Home Spa System and it removes all chlorine and harsh chemicals out of our water leaving our skin and hair soft and healthy. It also has a Japanese mineral hot stone that does wonders for adding nutrients to your water for clear skin. On top of that, I drink alkaline hydrogen water and slather on several serums throughout the week to help age backward! Here is a breakdown of what I’m currently using. All of them are affordable options with clean ingredients. I tend to have dry, sensitive skin and these add moisture without irritating my pores.

The Most Flattering Sundresses

Living in one of the hottest states in the US, sundresses have become my go-to for the Spring and Summer seasons. They are easy to style and require just adding a few accessories for a quick grab-and-go option. They pack nicely for trips and can be layered over swimwear or worn with strappy sandals for dinner. They also are super comfortable on hot days instead of having shorts ride up and stick to a hot car seat. There are so many cute styles to choose from like a pretty milkmaid dress like this one. Or you can opt for a dress that has a beautiful neckline and a side slit with just the right amount of leg. If you are looking for something more modest, try this pretty floral dress that hits at the perfect midi length. You can shop tons of other options below!

10 Pink Spring and Summer Outfits

Rounding up a few of my outfits recently. I love wearing shades of pink and thought it would be fun to share them all in one post with you guys. Here are 10 outfits to inspire you to wear this adorable color!

The $12 Earrings I’ve Been Wearing Non-Stop

When I find a piece of jewelry I love I usually wear it on repeat. Recently I came across this pair of tear-drop earrings with Bottega vibes and I cannot seem to take them off for anything but to go to sleep. They’ve been worn to meetings, casual Saturdays, photoshoots and even the gym. They seem to go with everything and because they are 14k gold-plated, they don’t seem to irritate my ears. I have really sensitive skin and these babies really do the trick.

Back from Birth

The past 6 weeks have been a complete blur. A month and a half ago I gave birth to our son Maximilian Everest Lowy at 8:16pm. It was a complete joy and I’m so thankful he’s finally here. With that being said, I’ve been in the newborn cocoon with my husband in a blur of breastfeeding, a 24-hour schedule, a little sleep deprivation, and a lot of eating. I am so lucky to have my husband as we transition into this new phase in life.

15 Must Have Maternity Outfits

Finally reached 39 weeks today and I cannot tell you how excited I am about meeting my baby boy. The past two weeks have been full of nesting and finishing up a few last-minute things before his arrival. I figured it would be fun to share what I’ve been wearing lately. Not a single item in any of these posts is maternity wear. All of them are regular women’s clothing that I’ve sized up to allow room for the bump. I found that it was more practical for me to stick to a lot of my traditional silhouettes that flatter my body type, but by going up a size I had extra room in the belly. Hope you enjoy this little round-up and stay tuned for our upcoming birth announcement!

10 Things I Learned This Year

This past year has amounted to an extreme amount of growth. Almost a year ago, I made the decision to go back to one-on-one counseling to sort out some stuff that was surfacing emotionally in my life. It was so hard, but I finally feel like I’m on the upswing and things are more manageable. It’s easy to make excuses in our lives for behaviors we did when we were not at our best. It’s also really easy to blame others for the things that went wrong. Ultimately, accepting full responsibility for my life has given me freedom and inner power I did not know a few years ago. I’m going to share with you today 10 Things I Learned this Year in hopes of inspiring you to rise above your current state of being into a higher version of yourself.

When You Hear God Calling, Listen

For the past year, I’ve struggled to feel spiritually challenged. For most of my life, I’ve constantly sought to expand my spiritual knowledge and push myself to educate myself about theology, religion, spiritual topics, and the bible. I’ve studied the Bible in depth for the past 30 years dissecting it, cross referencing, and getting involved in small group Bible studies to understand God better and what his word says. I’ve also studied a plethora of other spiritual practices and viewpoints including angel numbers, numerology, Buddhism the history behind the Islamic religion, and Catholicism practices. I wanted to truly understand the world’s viewpoints on faith, hope, righteousness, and what God had to say about them.

Preparing for Baby's Arrival and a Natural Birth

For the past few weeks, I’ve had major baby brain. I’m eight months pregnant and we are counting down to delivery at this point. We’ve elected in this pregnancy to deliver the baby naturally with a midwife instead of a hospital birth. It’s been such a better experience than meeting with an OBGYN. Our midwife has longer conversations with us, explains every single test or procedure, and gives us options. It’s a freedom I did not know was possible! As we prepare this final month I thought I would share a few things that are going to ease the delivery and make the experience the most successful possible.

Maternity Dresses for Now and When Baby Arrives

Cannot believe I am almost 8 months pregnant at this point! It’s been challenging these past few weeks to get dressed but I found a few pieces from a company called Oyoangle that narrowed it down for simple maternity styling. First up is this long-sleeved mocha body con dress with tons of ruching on the sides to give a good fit but flexibility in the growing bump. I love the way it hugs curves and the fabric is a stretchy cotton that breathes nicely. I am still wearing heels but this would look just as cute with a pair of sneakers or ballet flats. Adding pops of pink like this lipstick, purse, earrings, and hot pink pumps gives an otherwise neutral color a nice punch.
