Easy Steps To A Healthy Long-Life Relationship with Your Curls

There are a lot of girls that hate their curls and even admit to suffer by them, because they either have to straighten them after every wash or feel uncomfortable in public. If you have this problem, your only chance of loving yourself as you are is being okay and feeling pretty with your curls. There is only a relatively small amount of girls with big curly hair and you are one of them. So show them off because it makes you special. Also think of all the girls that would kill for your volume and texture.

There is no standard rule for styling the prettiest curls. Every hair structure is different and so you need products and tricks for your hair structure. Do not give up if a blogger's hair routine does not want to work for you - keep searching for the methods that will do.

The path is not easy, but there is always hope if you put some effort in it and try different products, routines and methods out. Get to know you hair from roots to lenghts - it will be totally worth it, I promise. Here is some advice on the go:

• -Moisture is the path to go: Curly hair is usually dry, so use an hair oil, oil masks and a conditioner to make it look all healthy and shiny.
• Definition: Maybe a good styling cream or mousse is your holy grail for transforming the mop into a voluminous piece of art of defined soft curls.
• Upgrade your hair-dryer: The common use of a hair-dryer is THE killer for every hairstyle. So make sure you use a diffuser attachment

You see... it's as simple as that. Follow these four steps and you will be confident about your hair. Maybe not everyday, but nobody's loving herself every single day. I also prepared another post about curly hair in which I'll show you my personal hair routine and some products I love using.

My ingredients for the perfect morning

The first step to have a great day is to start it great. Some time ago I discovered the importance of morning time's quality. Since then I went through a lot of routines and tried different advice out. Now I think that I have found the routine that suits me best and makes my morning even enjoyable. 

Have your bag packed and your outfit planned
It's true that the best organization in the morning begins the day before. Have your bag packed so that you have one thing less to do and avoid the possibility of forgetting something really important. Besides it takes away a lot of stress and that is something we all appreciate, right?

Turn on your current favourite playlist or the radio

When my alarm rings, I feel like cancel all my appointments and stay in bed, but that is not possible and after some minutes the weariness is usually gone. The Miracle cure against the tiredness is music, especially music that always makes you feel full of power and motivation. If you don't have a playlist right now, the radio does its job very well, too.

Go first for skincare and teeth brushing

After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I always feel a lot more energetic and ready for the day. So don't put it at the end of your routine, cause it will make you much faster and your morning happier. 

For skincare I would recommend to keep it simple in the morning. You do not wear any make up when waking up, so a light washing gel (or even only cold water) and a moisturizing day cream are enough. Keep in mind that less is more!

Plan at least 15 minutes for some breakfast (and a coffee)

The breakfast and a big cup of coffee (or sometimes tea) is my higlight in the morning and can really make my day. I don't plan my breakfast the day before, I just grab food I feel like at the moment. But most of the days it is vanilla porridge, a joghurt with some fruits, apple-pancakes or just a honey-peanut-butter toast.

Check the news (if it's the newspaper, instagram or your mails)

To be up to date is really essencial to me: So I check facebook for birthdays, instagram for entertainment and my mails for important information. Sometimes I even have the time to watch a youtube-video, which also is really calming before school or work.

Make an overview about your day

Shortly before I leave the house I write a to do list. I always try to keep it short, so that I still have time for myself but I make sure that I do little things that will make some other days less packed. Lists are my life savers  to take control over my week. Maybe this is a good piece advice for the messy ones out there.
