Well it is another beautiful day! Let's talk tools for hair care. So the other day while organizing and cleaning my bathroom my husband notices how many things I have for just styling hair. Curling irons, flat irons, blow dryer, and several brushes, combs, and products. He started to question the need for all of it when I politely said "whoa slow down buster!" if I have to live with your 30 pairs of shoes/boots and I don't know how many tools, you can allow for mine. Of course my lack of legitimate defense didn't work so I started to think a little more logically. When I thought about why I really had so many things for grooming only a single part of my person it occurred to me that my tools are just as important and versatile as his. When looking at my hair dryer I paid a pretty penny for it (upwards $100) but when it comes down to it I bought the same one I use at the salon. Why? When I am blowing out countless hair styles, long or short, I'm racking up a lot of time on that dryer. I use it for hours on end, several days a week, for around 2-3 years. On top of the fact the heat, weight, and consistency of quality are there I'd say I get my money's worth. If you think about how many times we buy on the cheap repeatedly, when we could spend the same amount for quality, it's crazy. So how does this relate to my husband? I'm getting there. When I dug through my drawer pulling out several different kinds of brushes and combs not only did I realize I had quite the collection but I was no different from my husband in a few senses. I give him a hard time for all of his stuff when in reality I'm no different. He has at least 10 different hammers. Well you wouldn't want to pound nails with a sledge hammer. Its the same for me. I don't want to detangle my hair with a round brush when a wide tooth detangler would be easier and more gentle. When it comes to tools whether your building a cabinet or teasing the perfect bump you need the right tool and the best quality you can manage. Don't be afraid to spend a little to obtain the right tools for the job even if it means you have to have your husband build an extra cabinet to house them! ;)
