NYM’s Summertime Self-Love Challenge: Starting with Your Hair

NYM’s Summertime Self-Love Challenge: Starting with Your Hair

Summertime and the living isn’t always that easy

Staying confident during the summertime can be tough for so many people. With more skin showing, it can be harder to control all your physical insecurities.

Between us, lounging on the beach in your cute bikini is basically the same thing as hanging out in public in your undies (only really cute and flattering ones!). Now before you get all insecure, relax. Your very brilliant big sister with years more experience acting confident will impart some wisdom on how to feel confident all summer long!

Kick insecurity to the curb this summer

Here’s the thing; you’re not always going to look your best. And before you argue about it, you know it’s true. But you can always act like you look your best. Get the difference? When you love yourself, insecurity doesn’t have to feel so overwhelming.

I also have some more tips for you.

Act Confident (even when you don’t feel confident!)

If I have one piece of advice for you above all (and don’t worry, I have LOTS), it’s to act confidently no matter what. It’s important to remember that your insecurities are yours alone; there’s no need to broadcast them to the world.

Have you ever noticed the way some people own a room the minute they walk in? That, sis, is pure confidence. I’m guessing there are times that even Zendaya is quaking on the inside – but it never shows.  

Accentuate your best features

You don’t have to contour like a TikTok influencer, but adding a few face-framing tendrils of your beautifully groomed hair adds a bit of oomph. And it makes you feel cuter (as if you weren’t already cute enough!).

Healthy hair

The intense summer sun can do more than heat things up. It also can dry out your hair leaving strands looking parched and in need of repair. And let’s talk about chlorine for a minute. All that frolicking in the swimming pool isn’t great for your hair and can turn your locks greenish or otherwise discolored. But unworry, the hair technology in Not Your Mother’s products can help with hair repair while boosting your confidence in the process. In case you’re wondering, Not Your Mother’s products are vegan, dye free, color safe and made in the USA. They’re also cruelty free, sulfate surfactant free, paraben free, silicone free and drying alcohol free.

Try some Tough Love. I love the way that the Tough Love collection can remind you that taking care of yourself is all about self-love. I’ll explain. NYM’s entire Tough Love collection includes Active Bonding technology. That means that after only one use of NYM’s Tough Love Bonding Shampoo, Bonding Conditioner, and Intense Bonding Treatment, hair is visibly strengthened, and breakage is reduced by 56%. And no matter how blonde you go; your hair will be 81% smoother. So definitely wear a hat when you’re out in the sun, but be sure to protect your hair first with the Tough Love collection.

Girls’ Night In

It can be tough to be crushing on someone all summer long and not have them notice you. Or worse, to really like someone and be stuck in the friend zone. It can really take a toll on your confidence. That’s a perfect time to practice some self-love of the home spa variety. You don’t have to change anything about your beautiful self, but rather celebrate the self-love revolution with your besties.

Invite some friends over, give each other manicures and indulge your hair with NYM’s Matcha Green Tea and Apple Blossom Mask. I just found out that this amazing mask is made of 98% naturally derived ingredients to deeply nourish and restore dry hair with key antioxidants for shinier, smoother strands. Your hair will be shinier, bouncier and flirtier! Talk about a confidence boost. When your hair looks good by your standards alone — and not the over-filtered beauty standard — you feel good. And that makes it easier to ignore any lingering insecurities.

Remember, we aren’t perfect, but our hair can be! And spoiling yourself now and again helps too.
