A Chic and Simple Workout Ready Hair Tutorial 

March 30, 2022 By Melanie No Comments

This post is sponsored by Hair Food. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Moving to Denver has come with many perks but one of the challenges I haven’t really addressed has been the extremely dry climate. As someone who grew up with the humidity of Florida and then spent the past six years in NYC, it’s taken a bit of time for me to figure out the right regimen to combat the effects of dry weather. Truthfully, I spent the first few months getting used to adding extra body oils and moisturizers to my skincare routine and feel like I’m in a good place with that. But the one thing I wasn’t paying too much attention to was how much the dryness has been damaging my hair! 

I pride myself on taking care of nourishing my body with vitamins, healthy foods and lots of water. So it only makes sense that I would apply that same level of care to my hair as well. I’ve rotated through A LOT of different shampoo/conditioner products this past year. Some I’ve liked more than others, but none have really felt super nourishing until I tried Hair Food. 

If you aren’t familiar with their brand, trust me when I say I highly encourage you to give their collections a try! Each Hair Food blend is designed to cleanse and nourish your hair without sulfates, dyes, or parabens, and bonus, they are meant to protect color-treated hair. Plus, as someone who doesn’t use any cosmetic products that test on animals, I really love that Hair Food is PETA certified cruelty-free. 

The Hair Food Shea Butter & Almond Oil Shampoo and Conditioner have a really nice lather and pleasant smell. I was worried that they would weigh my hair down but am happy to report that’s not the case at all! My hair has been bouncy, smooth and super soft every single time I’ve used this duo. Definitely a 10/10 for anyone in need of extra hydration. 

For days when I need to seal in a little more moisture, I’ve been using the Hair Food Avocado & Argan Smoothing Hair Oil. It smells incredible and a little bit goes a long way in smoothing out my strands and making my hair look glossy and healthy. It’s actually the perfect treatment to use before trying out this pull-through braid hairstyle! 

As someone who is very limited with the amount of hairstyles I know how to do and can’t french braid if my life depended on it, this style is perfect. It’s sooo easy and comes together in less than 10 min. It looks chic while also keeping my hair secure for yoga, pilates or any other workouts I’m into that day. 

Before trying this pull-through braid hairstyle, I recommend washing your hair with the Hair Food Shea Butter & Almond Oil sh/cn, using a small amount of their Hair Oil, and blow drying your hair with a round brush for volume. 

STEP 1: Grab a top section of hair starting above your temples and secure with a small hair tie

STEP 2: Use a clip to keep the ponytail out of the way as you gather a new section of hair and secure with a small hair tie

STEP 3: Remove the clip, split the top ponytail into two having it fall on either side of the bottom ponytail

STEP 4: Clip the bottom ponytail on the top of your head and gather a new section of hair, adding the pieces from the first ponytail to them. Secure with a small hair tie

STEP 5: Repeat the process of splitting the top ponytail and securing it under the bottom one with a new section of hair. 

STEP 6: Once you’ve run out of hair, secure the whole look with another small hair tie. Now it’s time to fan out your sections to create more volume! Just slowly pull and fluff each section starting at the top and working your way down one section at a time

I hope you enjoyed this simple tutorial! If you rock this during your next workout, you can shop the Hair Food products at Target and I’d love to see your recreations! Be sure to tag me on Instagram at @headstandsandheels so I can give you a shoutout. 

Wishing you all plenty of good hair days to come!

A walk among the sunflowers 🌻 and 5 simple life
A walk among the sunflowers 🌻 and 5 simple life lessons inspired by them that we can reflect on:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Follow the sunshine and do what makes you happy 
✨ Start each day with fresh energy and enthusiasm 
✨ Embrace your uniqueness and natural beauty 
✨ Don’t compare your timing to others, bloom when you’re ready 
✨ Welcome the rain, without it there’s no growth 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are these cheesy? Yes. But can they be important reminders to help us shift our mindset and ground ourselves? Absolutely. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PS: For those asking, these sunflower fields are in Aurora right next to the Denver International Airport! They only bloom for a short time so I’m really thankful to have been able to witness them in all their glory. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌻Colorado truly is beautiful🌻

An ode to summers in Colorado and all the vibrant, warm memories it brings. ☀️💖

There’s really nothing more therapeutic than allowing yourself to slow down and notice all the beauty around you. If being surrounded by nature has taught me anything, it’s that there is much more peace in learning to embrace rest and playfulness, than striving for constant productivity. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We can work hard and also make time for chasing sunsets, spending time with the people we love and making new memories. 🌿✨

Idk about you but going to the Farmer’s Market on Sunday mornings has quickly become my favorite summer activity. 🌸☀️ it’s a great way to support local businesses while also stocking up on fresh produce and other favorite goodies for the week ahead! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I particularly love the one on South Pearl Street in Denver although I hear the one in Boulder is pretty amazing 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s what we typically stock up on:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Palisade peaches 
✨ Greens (this time it was rainbow chard) 
✨ Tomatoes, squash and peppers 
✨ Fresh bread 
✨ Sati Cold Brew (love their Samoa cookie one!)
✨ Jam and Almond butter 
✨ Artisanal pasta

Who else is obsessed with going to the farmers market?
