My self-care is decidedly simple and affordable. This time, however, I decided to splurge on new, custom shampoo and conditioner by Prose. I had been using the same Aveda shampoo- the only one that seemed to work on my hair during pregnancy. But now, five months postpartum, it was time to change things up.
Some times my hair ends up in a bun for a day or two. And it turns into this and only gets more dry and tangled as time goes on. I despise washing my hair (sorry, but it is true).
Below is my hair four days into throwing it up into a bun, napping, not having time to brush it...still looking strong and no bits of frizz at the ends! For me, this is a good hair day. It has lasted through bath time splashes and the fragrance is subtle but still there if I grab a handful of hair and smell.
Prose takes into consideration where you live. Everyday life in a city means extra pollution and more walking outside. Equally smart, the lifestyle factors play a role in what formula you receive as well. I anticipate being able to work out much more often once I go back to work and that was noted in the Q&A process.
Part of the questionnaire is also about your scalp! I never thought about it but I realized from the options that mine was uncomfortably tight. Since washing it, I already notice a big difference. Some standout ingredients in my formula: pisatchio oil for suppleness, odor neutralization from lemongrass, and porphyra algae to repair ends over time.
I choose the strawberry and rose fragrance, which is still ever so slighty too floral for me but overall I still really like it. If I got another set, I would try a different one. Typically I avoid perfumes and scents in everything I own but I decided to make an exception for my shampoo and conditioner right now. The smell gives me a bit of calm and makes me feel a bit more put together.
Next time I am going to blow dry my hair and see how it goes! Have you tried Prose? Did you like it? If you're curious, at least give the quiz a whirl and see what you think. Let me know. :)
wishing you joy on your journey,
kristen
