Showing Up for Yourself Starts With the Little Things — Like Your Hair
Some days, showing up for yourself looks big and bold. Other days, it’s quiet. It’s personal. It’s choosing to take care of yourself even when no one else is watching.
For me, that often starts with my hair.
Especially during seasons when life feels full, busy, or just heavy, my routines are what bring me back to myself. And this Valentine’s Day season, I’ve been really intentional about creating moments that feel grounding, not rushed.
Hair Care Is More Than a Routine
As Black women, our hair is layered with meaning. It’s culture. It’s expression. It’s a reflection of how we’re feeling and how we’re caring for ourselves.
When I take the time to care for my natural hair, it’s never just about how it looks—it’s about how I feel. Calm. Present. Taken care of.
That’s why I’ve been leaning into a simple, consistent hair routine that supports my hair without adding stress.
What I’ve Been Using Lately
I’ve been reaching for the Bumble and bumble Bond-Building Hair Repair Starter Travel Size Gift Set when I want something easy, effective, and gentle on my curls.
What I love about this set is that it’s:
Designed for damaged hair
Safe for color-treated hair
Made to work across curly, wavy, and straight textures
Perfect if you’re easing into a repair routine or need something travel-friendly
It comes with three pieces that help strengthen and support the hair without feeling heavy or complicated—which is exactly what I need right now.
How It Fits Into My Routine
My focus lately has been moisture, strength, and patience. I’m not rushing my wash days or forcing my hair into styles it’s not feeling.
Using this Bumble and bumble set has helped me:
Maintain healthier-feeling curls
Support my hair’s strength while still keeping it soft
Keep my routine simple but intentional
It’s one of those small swaps that’s made my hair care feel more like self-care.
Routines Are a Love Language
Showing up for yourself doesn’t have to look the same every day. Some days it’s a full wash routine. Other days, it’s a quick refresh and calling it a win.
But routines—especially the ones that care for your body—are a form of self-respect.
This Valentine’s Day Wellness Series is all about choosing yourself in ways that feel sustainable. Whether it’s hair, makeup, movement, or rest, these moments matter.
Start Where You Are
If you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself, start small. One routine. One choice that reminds you you’re worthy of care.
For me, right now, that choice is my hair.
With love,
Porshe’
