Achieving Great Hair During COVID-19

If your beauty and hair care regimen has fallen by the wayside during this crisis, it may surprise you to learn that you are not alone. In the early phases of the pandemic, women everywhere were left to invoke innovation and do-it-yourself magic. Eventually, professional career attire gave way to sweats and t-shirts, while fabulous hair became hostage to at-home color jobs and effortless ponytails or updos.

Stay-at-home orders led to the shutdown of beauty supply chains and salons. Many women took to embracing the opportunity to give their hair and scalp a break from the rigors of a visit to the salon, turning to YouTube and other digital platforms for guidance. Others jumped on the bandwagon of women embracing their natural locks.

Fast-forward to a few months later, and the novelty of trying to maintain your hair during the pandemic has probably lost its appeal. You may even find yourself longing for the days in which your hair felt and looked good.  There is no need to feel any shame. It’s not a shallow flaw to long for a sense of normalcy, as it pertains to your general appearance and (more specifically) the joy of having great hair. We all have our standards. Additionally, for many women, looking and feeling good are vital coping mechanisms. For some of us, that inner feeling of looking and feeling good starts with our crown and glory—great hair. Besides the fact it seems we are Zoom almost everyday showing our mane. 

Hair Maintenance and COVID-19

The old saying goes, “when you look good, you feel good.” Think about the feeling you have when walking out of the salon with a fabulous new look. Your hair feels soft. Your scalp is tingling from its recent massage leading up to styling, and your entire being is vibrating with possibilities. Your chin is lifted, your shoulders are back, your posture is straight, and your aura exudes confidence.

Achieving and maintaining great hair during Covid may not seem like a priority in the scheme of things, but for many women, having great hair is like breathing. It gives them a sense of pride.

Alas, all is not lost thanks in part to wigs and hair extensions. Sure, being locked down and socially distancing all of these months may have led your roots to give way to tell-tale gray patches and strands, but the good news is you still have multiple options to help you get your look back on track.
