Skin care is clearly having a moment. From hydrating sheet masks (coming soon to Bivouac) to overnight skin peels, it seems as though everyone is investing time and money into their skin. Maybe it’s the comfort in performing a daily routine or treating ourselves after a rough day. This collective pride in participating in self-care through skin care opens the discussion for product recommendations as well as tips and tricks. While taking care of your skin is a worthy investment, are you giving your hair the attention it deserves, too? The most important part of hair care is the skin on top of your head – the scalp.

Keep reading to read how Kelly was able to restore her dry and damaged hair by using a routine of Kiehl’s products that add moisture and balance to the scalp, leaving her hair looking amazing.

Words by Kelly Stabler

I was no stranger to Kiehl’s skin care prior to working at Bivouac. I had already heard amazing things from friends and blogs. After trying out dozens of products, I was amazed by the visible differences many of the skin care products made, a few of my favorites being the Cucumber Herbal Conditioning Cleanser, Cucumber Herbal Alcohol-Free Toner, and the Midnight Recovery Concentrate.

The hair products never interested me, as I never really thought of my hair as something that I need to have a routine for. I washed my hair everyday (a big mistake, over-washing strips hair of natural oils) and used whatever generic shampoo and conditioner my mom had bought the last time she was at the supermarket, which often contain fillers, harsh chemicals, and sulfates.

Just this past year, my hair became very dried out and damaged. I spent countless hours googling how to cure this new problem and came across many Kiehl’s hair products that were highly recommended. I incorporated a new hair routine into my week and my hair has never looked or felt better. My routine is as follows:

Magic Elixir – I use this serum on my scalp and let it soak in while I brush my teeth or wash my face. My favorite thing about thing about this hair concentrate is how it doesn’t leave my hair feeling oily. With many hair masks or serums, your hair can still feel weighed down even after washing, but this is very light-weight and adds a nice shine to my hair that lasts for a few days.

Amino Acid Shampoo and Conditioner – My favorite thing about this shampoo and conditioner is the AMAZING smell. My hair feels and smells fresh for days after using it and it tames frizz phenomenally. It also adds a subtle touch of volume to my hair that I love.

Since investing in Kiehl’s hair products, I’ve realized that having a solid hair-care routine is just as important as caring for your skin. Having a good hair day is something that many women and men struggle to come by, but I’ve personally become more comfortable and confident about my natural hair with just a few simple changes.
