Guilt is a useless emotion. Many women, unfortunately, suffer from it, whether it be never having enough time for the children, working too much or too little, the list goes on and on.
One thing many of us feel bad about is spending money on ourselves, whether it’s going for a monthly manicure or visiting the hairdresser, and we all know how a bad hair day, week or month can really breakdown our confidence.
We say, stop feeling guilty and have compiled a list of a few ways to treat yourself and your hair, without breaking the budget.
INVEST IN A GOOD QUALITY HAIR CARE REGIME
Purchasing good quality hair products doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg. Remember a compromise on price doesn’t always mean a compromise on quality. Leading haircare brands, like Dove®, have a wide range of products suitable for any hair type from damaged to oily to even those lucky few with fairly normal hair.

VISIT THE HAIRDRESSER
It may seem like we’re contradicting ourselves here, but visiting the hairdresser for a regular trim and root touch up will actually save you money in the long run. Perfect hair means prioritising a trim every six to eight weeks. Neglected split ends can work their up your hair shaft, causing a lot more harm, meaning you’ll have more to deal with later on. The same applies for highlights and dye jobs. Leaving your roots to grow means you’ll have to spend more at the hairdresser having a hair dye overhaul. To keep your colour looking fresh and vibrant for longer invest in the Dove® Colour Radiance Shampoo, Conditioner and Treatment Conditioner.Enhanced with a Colour Vibrant Lock™ your colour will stay vibrant and fresh, meaning you can hold out on those touch ups for a while longer.
BLOW-DRY YOUR HAIR
No, we haven’t lost our minds and totally understand that blasting hair with heat can cause a lot of damage. Blow-drying may cut our routine in half and make us feel more pulled together, but it can often end up doing more damage than good. That doesn’t mean you have to stop doing it all together! All you have to do is be strict about using good heat protector products like the Dove® Heat Defence Shampoo and Conditioner. These contain a Micro Moisture Serum™ to shield delicate hair fibres and protect against oncoming heat, meaning guilt-free blow-drying.
TAKE TIME OUT FOR YOURSELF
Just as our lifestyle can affect the appearance of our skin, so too can it affect our hair. Stress is often the main cause of hair loss and other hair ailments. Stop feeling bad and take care of yourself. Read our list of healthy hair foods and take time out to exercise and relax. You’ll thank yourself in the long run! Now say it with me, “ooooooommmmmmmm.”
