GROOMING ALMANAC
#isohair is trending. Like it or Lump it we’re all custodians of our own locks for the foreseeable future. If you've mustered up the courage to let hubby apply a hair colour (note mine asked me to sign a disclaimer!), then it’s best to conduct on a day with the best possible outcomes. Anticipating the piebald pony or pudding bowl blunt cut look - isn’t your look of choice, let me introduce you to a tried and tested method of lunar Hair + Beauty Care.
Note the process of cutting, trimming, curling n’ colouring your tresses isn’t confined to the hair on you head. There’s also beneficial days for hair removal. So however you de-fluff - sugar, shave, wax - whatever floats your boat, do so on a day to retard growth and reduce the frequency of the arduous chore.
Our Almanacs also apply to post ISO; when Salons reopen. Savvy folk have realised they can save coin and get more mileage from their new hairdo by reducing visits; by choosing a time when your tresses grow less vigorously. Or vice versa if you want to coax longer locks.
If you're keen to try the process it’s available for purchase monthly for $2 per month or $12 for the remaining eight months, delivered via pdf to print or save to your phone. Enter your deets and we’ll send you a sample copy instantly.
