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.

Life Lately With a Baby

When You Feel Out of Alignment Try This...

The past six months of my life have been emotionally challenging. Postpartum combined with several joyful life changes left me feeling like I had new roles to step into and the pressure was high. Right before my husband and I had our baby we made the decision to start a new business. From the outside it looked like I had it together, but the next few months would unveil a completely different side of me that I wasn’t prepared to deal with.

Fall Romantic Style Outfits

Fall is just around the corner and here in Texas it’s still in the 90’s. As much as I’m itching to pull out my sweaters, I know better. It’s just too dang hot for that right now. I’ve been playing with some new pieces from Chicwish and they are giving me all the romantic vibes that I will carry right into the cooler season. I’ll be able to layer a coatigan over some of these pretty feminine pieces when the temperatures finally drop and swap sandals for boots!

Postpartum Fitness Journey

Five months ago Baby Max was born. Getting back into a fitness routine was a journey to say the least! For reference, I am 39 years old and gained 38 lbs in pregnancy. Had a natural birth with no medication or epidural at a birth center and went home the night I had Max. Did not even take ibuprofen...

Pre-Fall from CupShe

There’s something special about transitioning out of sundresses and shorts to more structured pieces like this black and white high neck maxi dress or this beautiful square neck black satin bow detailed dress. Both of these beauties are from CupShe and I’m loving what they are offering right now.

Five Months Postpartum Recovery and Journey

This picture was captured by my incredible husband this past week and I truly felt like it captured my essence. I am finally feeling like I have energy again and wanted to share insights to why I’ve been quiet on the blog this year. The past five and a half months brought a whirlwind of things I did not expect. Many of you guys have followed my journey over the years, but for some of the new faces I had a baby five months ago.

Four Ways to Style a Turquoise Bag

If there is one color for this season I recommend adding to your closet it’s Turquoise! Bringing in beautiful shades of ocean blue adds a pop of fun to almost any outfit. I’ve styled this gorgeous faux ostrich print bag in various ways to inspire you. Make sure to load up with lots of turquoise jewelry like this necklace, these earrings, and this statement bracelet. You can shop all my favorite turquoise pieces below!

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!
