Hump Day Slump to Brand New
By the time Wednesday rolls around you might already be feeling burnt out. Refreshing your week can start by washing your hair & exfoliating your face.
Changing your hair is a whole mood by itself and washing it is the first step to giving you that brand new feeling. If you have a lot of hair, washing can take a lot of time and feel like a hassle. So here is a quick and restorative way to wash your hair & exfoliate your skin that will cure a mid week slump.

Exfoliate Face & Décolletage

Wash & Mask Hair
To wash, mask and restore my hair, I like to use the MoroccanOil Shampoo and Mask. The shampoo is great for color treated, heat damage and chemically processed hair. Because this shampoo is infused with argon oil, keratin proteins and fatty acids, it will strengthen and improve the elasticity of your hair. A good balance of fat and protein will both moisturize and strengthen your hair. Best of all, it will not weigh your hair down.
After shampooing, I like to add a generous amount of the Moroccan Oil Hair Mask to my hair. I leave it in for 5 to 10 minutes while I lather up or shave my legs. You can use this once a week and you will see a massive difference in the strength and look of your hair. I love this mask. This is my second tub. The only down side, is that it is in a tub, so it’s not great for using in the shower.
Exfoliating Face & Décolletage.
After rinsing my hair, exfoliating my face, décolletage and upper back, is something I like to do to avoid getting clogged pores. Washing my hair is a great reminder that I need to exfoliate.
Your skin can be be clogged from the ingredients in conditioners, so as a personal rule of thumb, after washing my hair in the shower, I follow up with exfoliating.
Exfolikate is a physical and chemical exfoliator that promises to clean clogged pores and polish skin. I only use this once a week as it is a powerful exfoliator. It has a slightly gritty green texture that almost disappears on the skin. I use this very gently on wet skin, and rinse of a few seconds later.
Gently Dry Hair
Using an Aquis towel or turban will dry you hair faster and more safely than using a conventional hair towel. Your hair is safer because the technology used to creat the fabric reduces the amount of time it stays wet. Wet hair is more vulnerable to snagging. I like to wrap my hair up in this towel, while I moisturize my skin and get my robe on.
Dyson Hair Dryer
Aquis Hair Towel & set
Next I use my Dyson Hair Dryer. You can use this while listening to music because it is so quiet. This also cuts your drying time further. I use this to completely dry & smooth my hair. This is quite an expensive blow dryer, but if you are willing to treat your self, I recommend it.
