Re: What Beauty Routine or Maintenance You Dislike Most To Do?

Getting my hair cut.  Great axiety on how it will turn out, so I end up stalling and putting up with hair that needs trimming.  I left my salon a year ago because it was taking six weeks to get in plus it was expensive.  Now I go to the local chop shop and take pot luck for stylists.  Cheap but I haven't found anyone I'm happy with yet.

My hair! I have a very involved and extensive  hair process which usually takes a few hours therefore, i only do it once a week. I have long curly hair and very high maintainance due to frizz and dryness. I pre-poo with my own concoction and leave that on for at least a couple of hours, then i do my whole shower, shampoo and hair mask in the shower. Then i air dry and style my hair with two different heat tools which takes about 45 minutes. So, yes, its one lengthy and tiring process. 


 

          @mintedrose,

 

             I UNDERSTOOD EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEANT. MY HAIR IS -IT APPEARS- TO BE VERY SIMILAR TO YOURS ~ LONG, THICK AND WAVY; I HAVE TO DO MY OWN ROUTINE BECAUSE THERE IS NOT MANY HAIRDRESSERS THAT TAKE THIS MUCH TIME.

 

 MY HAIR IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN MY TASK OF A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PRIORITY.

 

   I ADORE THE LENGTH OF MY HAIR AND THE LOOK APPEARANCE AFTER THE TREAMENT. 

 .......AND! IT DOES TAKE EXACTLY THAT LONG TO PRE-TREAT, , SHAMPOO ( IN SHOWER) AIR DRY AND STYLE. 

 

  I WOULD NEVER WANT TO GO WITH A SHORT CUT.

 

SO MANY PEOPLE COMPLIMENT ME ON MY HAIR AND WANT TO KNOW WHO DOES THIS SHAPING AND THE OUTCOME BEARING THE SHEEN. 

 

I SAVE BACK A [ FREE DAY ] TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR SELF TO DO THIS, AND YES, TIRING....BUT ONCE A WEEK, AND STILL VERY APPEALING TO ME. 

 

   !! ALSO, I STOPPED WEARING MASCARA. I HAVE DARK BRUNETTE LASHES; THE MASCARA THAT I HAVE USED (MANY) ALWAYS TAKES OVER 15 MINUTES PER EYE TO ACTUALLLLY RID ALL PRODUCT.

I WEAR A DARK GREEN LINER AND HAVING LONG LASHES I DON'T NEED THE EXTRA VOLUME OR LENGTH. 

 

 

I NEVER ACTUALLY WONDERED IF ANYONE ELSE WENT THROUGH MY SAME ROUNTINE BUT NICE TO KNOW THERE IS SOMEONE ELSE ...AND SO WORTH IT. 

THANK YOU FOR SHARING. 

 

PS: SORRY FOR THE CAPS. MY PC IS ACTING UP WITH MY SERVER TODAY.

  Probably washing my hair.  It is long and it is a lot of work to wash   and condition.  I have to do it seperate from bathing so it is just another step.  Long hair is a lot of work!

@Sweet_Serenity  is this one of those tools that "pulls" your hair out like the emjoi?  i've tried those once or twice, and i don't think that i'm that senseitive, but ouch, they hurt. 

i would love to have something that works good for my chin hairs, and upper lip mostly. the price is good on this as well. 


 

  

Should have explained I only have peach fuzz, and this works for me, watch the video presentation and read the reviews. Love mine! I'm able to use right around my upper and lower lip area without any irritation, for me this matters.

Re: What Beauty Routine or Maintenance You Dislike Most To Do?

I think I dislike washing my hair, only because I have to do it separate in the sink with bottled water. I use gallon bottles...literally a pain in the neck. Reason being...I have well water that after several washes will leave orange iron deposits in my pale blonde almost platinum hair. Tried everything from filters, to high end water softeners and many water testings. So its bottled water only...UGHHHH. Other than that, I think I'm just high maintenance with all my beauty skincare...but it pays off🤗

@ECBG,

I only use serum and moisturizer and lipstick. If I have to dress up just add some waterproof mascara and removing it kills me.

I use Lancôme however it never goes away. Next morning I still have something left.

1) definitely hate flossing.

2) hate having to wash my face before bed.  I am usually too sleepy and lazy to do it.

Getting rid of chin hairs. I can’t find a way to keep my chin 

smooth feeling. I have tried so many things: both dry and wet shaving; tweezing; the Emjoi; the springy coil gadget and nothing works.  I can still feel prickly ends.

 

I must be doing something wrong.
