Collaborative Post¦ Styling hair these days is no longer about practicality. It’s about fashion, styles, and trends and making sure you’re happy with the hair on your head. Trends are constantly changing, meaning hairstyles need to change too. From colour to length, curls to straight, the hairstyle possibilities are endless. However, achieving these styles isn’t always easy. In fact, they’re actually quite difficult! Cutting and colouring your own hair is a mammoth task, which is why many opt to go to a salon and have it done by a professional. Usually, being at a salon can be an enjoyable experience, but that’s not always the case. This is why there has been an increase in the number of people deciding to have an at-home haircut in Charlotte and the surrounding areas. There are actually at-home hairdressers all over the country nowadays and their services are becoming far more popular than ever before. The switch from salon to at-home is very easy as well as popular! Here are 4 reasons many people are switching to at-home hairdressers.

3 things in 15 minutes to feel more “you”, less “mum”
As wonderful as motherhood is, a lot does change and that takes some adjusting to! I often find myself putting on the same combinations of jeans and t-shirts or jumpers each day. Once I’ve finished work, I slap on some concealer and foundation, quickly put a brush through my hair and rush off to collect Autumn from her childminder. With all the additional things to do in my daily life, I’ve definitely not taken care of myself as much. I’ve been meaning to paint my nails for weeks now, but they’re still bare. Does this sound like you?
It’s so important as mums to give ourselves a bit of self care, in whatever form that comes. This post is about 3 things I do to feel a bit more like “myself” in 15 minutes and hopefully it will inspire you too! After all, surely 15 minutes is achievable every once in a while?
Trichotillomania – my husband’s story
My husband suffers from trichotillomania. It is a little known mental health condition, which consists of the impulsive pulling of hair, which can be from anywhere on the body. This can result in bald patches and feelings of guilt and embarrassment. I’ve interviewed my husband on his experience of trichotillomania, in an effort to help raise awareness. I have only read stories of women having it online, so I’m hoping that it may help some people to read about a man with the condition.
