Navigating your Hair Routine: Early Bird vs Night Owl
Let’s talk about the battle of the body clocks and how they shape our fabulous hair routine. Are you an early riser, greeting the dawn with a smile, or do you find your energy surging as the moon rises? Either way, your chronotype preference can significantly impact your daily routines, including your hair care regimen. Don’t worry I got you, I’m gonna teach you how to embrace your natural rhythm and still be able to properly maintain those luscious locks.
For the Early Birds:
For all my early risers here at Genyve, here’s why being an early bird gives you that extra edge in the hair department.
- Morning Glory: You know that fresh-out-of-bed look? Well, you early birds get to nail every single day. Waking up early gives you that extra time to cleanse and rejuvenate your hair before the day begins. A refreshing shower not only cleanses your scalp but also stimulates blood circulation, promoting healthier hair growth.
- Time to Slay: With the crack of dawn comes the opportunity to style your mane to perfection. Whether you prefer sleek ponytails or intricate braids, the early hours offer a peaceful environment for perfecting your look.
- Sun’s Out, SPF’s On: Early birds catch more than worms; they catch the gentle morning sun rays, too. That means you’ve got ample time to protect your precious strands with SPF infused products, keeping them safe from UV damage.
- Breakfast of Champions: Rise and shine, it’s breakfast time! Early birds have the luxury of starting the day with a nutritious meal that not only fuels their body but also nourishes their hair from within. Talk about a win-win!
The Night Owl’s Mane Game:
Now, let’s flip the script and shine the spotlight on the night owls, my girls who come alive when the world is fast asleep. While your nocturnal nature may differ from the early bird’s routine, it offers its own advantages for hair care:
- Midnight Magic: While the world sleeps, the night owls indulge in some serious self-care rituals. Think deep conditioning masks, oil treatments, and all the luxurious goodies that make your hair feel like silk. With the quiet of the night, you can pamper your strands without distractions, allowing the products to work their magic while you sleep.
- Creativity Unleashed: When the stars are out, creativity thrives, and let me tell you, I speak from experience. Ever tried brainstorming your next hairstyle while arguing with a bag of chips at 3am? It’s a masterpiece in the making, I swear. Night owls can let their imagination run wild, experimenting with new hairstyles and techniques without any daytime distractions. WAIT! Before you colour your hair at midnight with box dye… again, try using my new DIY hair toner masks. The Genyve DIY Hair Toner Masks work wonders in achieving a beautiful, clean toned looking shade. With little to no ammonia, they’re a healthy alternative for your hair, adding shine, depth and taking your hair game to new heights.
- Relaxed detangling sessions: After a long day, there’s nothing quite like unwinding with a gentle detangling session. Night owls can take their time to carefully comb through their hair, removing knots and tangles while enjoying moments of relaxation before bed.
- Overnight Styling Magic: Embracing your night owl tendencies opens the door to overnight styling techniques, such as heatless curls or overnight hair masks. By incorporating these methods into your evening routine, you can wake up to effortlessly beautiful hair.
Finding your Hair Harmony:
Whether you’re an early bird or a night owl, finding your hair harmony is all about embracing your natural rhythm and owning it! Here’s how to keep your locks luscious, no matter your body clock:
- Stay True to You: Regardless of whether you prefer mornings or night, consistency is crucial for healthy hair. Establish a routine that aligns with your natural rhythm and stick to it to achieve the best results.
- Listen to your Hair: Your hair knows what it needs, so listen up! Pay attention to how your locks respond to different routines and products, and adjust accordingly.
- Invest in Quality Products: Choose hair care products that are tailored to your hair type and concerns. Whether you prefer natural remedies or high-tech formulas, investing in quality products can make a difference in the health and appearance of your hair. Take the Genyve Pump’d Bundle (our Pump’d Shampoo + Conditioner). It promises to strengthen your hair’s resilience, eliminate excess oils while simultaneously adding a brilliant shine.
- Self-care, Slay, Repeat: Last but certainly not least, remember to indulge in some serious self-care. Whether it’s yoga, meditation, or simply taking a moment to bask in your fabulousness, prioritise self-love and watch your hair flourish.
In conclusion, whether you rise with the sun or come alive under the moonlight, your sleep routine is part of what makes you, you! Embrace it, own it and let your hair do the talking. Life’s too short for bad hair days!
