the biggest compliment i got back in india this past month was she's such a natural beauty she doesn't try too hard and all of that started by trying really hard. all the beauty treatments i did to prepare for the trip so i was as low maintenance as possible. i started with what i think is one of the best keratin treatments that you can get in la. it's affordable, it's quick, it's easy and i love my hairdresser. look how fabulous he dresses for work. he starts by putting all the product in my hair, letting it set, blow drying it once through and then going back with a round brush and then straightening it to the gods. my hair has never been more sleek. so it gives you a complimentary trim which is sort of nice just to get some of the dead ends off and this is what the final product looks like. i actually really love my curl pattern and have been trying to wear my hair curly more often so it kind of broke my heart to get a keratin done but honestly the pros of just being low maintenance on this trip where it would be super hot and super humid was really worth it to me. and then i moved on to a super natural russian manicure. again, this is key for letting my nails grow out for the three and a half weeks i was in india without worrying about anything chipping or anything peeling and the fact that it was such a natural color means that even my nail growth didn't give too much away. same place i get my nails done is also my facialist. i see her once a month and she not only gives me a great facial but she dermaplanes me and tints my eyebrows and does some maintenance but this time i added on a little lash lift. again, i don't think things like keratins and lash lifts are good for you. i get them sparingly, maybe once a year but that is a list of my beauty treatments that made it super easy for me to be low maintenance in india.
