Girl!! You have the most beautiful hair!!! Im 63 and my hair used to be purple black naturally. I just went wild and let it turn gray. Its actually so freeing to be natural. Im blessed to still be alive and very proud of my hair. We are beautiful as women ❤. Enjoy the journey beautiful soul. To me, it is a way to finally honor and respect myself. It took me a long time to feel that way. ❤❤❤

[@LadyBugout]

Love it! Thanks for sharing☺️

[@lindabarker7142]

My mom grew up in the depression. They had to carry in water and heat it on the stove. They had to share bathwater. In the winter they only washed their hair once a month. In the summer, washed in the lake.

[@LadyBugout]

Yep!!! I sure get that now and am better for it I think😝

[@vradenknight4872]

Such a useful video, thank you for sharing! This is one of the questions I wondered, but it’s a bit personal to ask someone.

[@scottsladeadventures1102]

A lot of good advice and thoughts. I fully believe that just because we live "out" of a van doesn't mean we need to look rough. If I had hair I would definitely take your advice. 😊 Thanks for sharing..

[@LadyBugout]

Agreed!!!☺️

[@debbiecharlton1630]

Thanks so much for sharing about how you do your hair. Also explaining about going lighter. I used to have dark hair and as I went grey I had it highlighted and now I'm completely grey and I love it. As women as we get older it's great ti embrace the aging process and not keep trying to pretend we're youths!

[@LadyBugout]

Agreed! 💃🏻🙌🏼💪🏼

[@anitasimmons3599]

Thank you for taking the time to create this video. My hair is short, but I learned years ago the less I wash it the better it behaves. Coconut oil rubbed into the scalp works really well too. I use bar soap when I use soap on it and it it feels like it has build up I will rinse it with vinegar. My grandmother always said bathing too much is bad for your body... I think she was right, especially with all the toxic care products out there. Thank you again for allowing us into your life.

[@LadyBugout]

Yep, it’s crazy how that works😝 coconut oil… thanks for the tip. I always have that around!!!

[@beanscollections2020]

This video is probably long overdue. I can only speak from a man's point of view, but your hair is gorgeous, and I always imagined the ladies out there would want to know how you keep your hair so healthy and full of body in vanlife. Also thank you so much for all the tips. I am a new subscriber but have binging your vids for a little while now because I too am about to start vanlife. Your tips and insights have been invaluable.

[@LadyBugout]

Hahaha… I do get a lot of questions about my hair 😛 so I did think it was time! I’m so glad the channel is helpful to you as you start your own journey 💃🏻🙌🏼💪🏼

[@glendahill]

Hi Dee. I stopped using shampoo about 15 years ago, started off as an experiment and I've not looked back. My hair is in it's best condition ever. I used to have greasy hair, but now it's just normal as it's self regulating. When in the shower I 'go through the motions' of washing to distribute the oil, and a bit of argan oil on the ends and I'm good to go. I highly recommend ditching the shampoo

[@LadyBugout]

Yep!!! Crazy 😜 makes me wonder 🤔 about products we use 😬

[@glendahill]

@@LadyBugout and me. And in the UK, hair products are the only ones that are generally picked by their smell! It could have caustic soda in, but so long as it smells nice 🤷

[@carmendarlinseattle]

Thank you Dee! Loved your parting words. So sweet!

[@joannefuller]

I ditched mine too. Don't need the gimmicks.

My hair is dark and I let it go gray and amazed that it just came on through and seems like the color just faded away. Just go for it!

[@LadyBugout]

💪🏼🙌🏼💃🏻

[@user-yu5cg8yl5w]

The lighter hair is beautiful. I think when it grows out to the natural color you will be even more beautiful.

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you!😊

[@wondrouswanderings2281]

Thanks for another great video. You have beautiful hair. I’ve wondered how you took care of it on the road and appreciate your tips. I have fairly thick long hair. It takes several hours to dry naturally. Pony tails give me headaches after a couple of hours, but putting it up with a large plastic clip doesn’t hurt. I often pull it back with 2 clips like you do or wear a loose low ponytail with a plastic clip.

[@LadyBugout]

I’m glad it was useful. Your hair sounds gorgeous!!!!

[@gregoryknight1772]

I decided to re-watch your last video (I do have a lot of hair) and I discovered I missed the last and most important part of the video. You have realized some things I am still reaching for

[@LadyBugout]

Glad it spoke to you ☺️

[@NYCHFAN]

Wearing a satin bonnet at night really helps to stop overnight tangles and frizz. 😊

[@LadyBugout]

Good to know! I can just imagine getting a knock in the middle of the night and trying to explain that to a police officer 😂

[@MHM-Nautilus]

Dee, you are the real deal dear. Thank you for all you share. I’m so glad I’m a guy with short hair. God bless you every day.

[@LadyBugout]

Lol…yeah, the short hair people have it made 🤗😛☺️

[@MHM-Nautilus]

@@LadyBugout Yes dear, but we don’t look as beautiful as you!

[@Whydiss]

I love your updates! I transitioned to my glitter streaks in my mid 40s and it took a couple of years for my long hair to grow out and it too was a process. I love my hair colour and ‘natural grey’ is now in vogue. PS I wash my hair once every 8-10days but can go 14 days but my scalp gets a little itchy by then

[@LadyBugout]

Your hair looks gorgeous too!!!

[@make.do.mending]

I've just swapped my VW Caddy for a Caddy Maxi and I'm so excited to get to do longer adventures so this is perfect! xx

[@LadyBugout]

Wow! Nice, you’ll have lots of fun ☺️

[@kathleenhornbecker1055]

Dee your sharing on your hair was wonderful. Since I’m in extreme heat and high humidity areas, I wash my hair once a week. When I’m not I go anywhere from 10 to 14 days. Washing less has taken my oily hair (washing it every day…eek!!!!) to a natural healthy non oily state. I too you bar soap, for the ease but mostly for the environment. Your video are always enjoyable, whether experiencing your travels and nature and/or your personal life tips. As always, thank you for allowing your followers into your life!

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you, Kathleen! Yep, then you understand completely 😝🙌🏼💪🏼

[@MOTrav]

You have beautiful thick hair! Wear it proudly no matter what color shade you have.

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you so much!!!💃🏻

[@dianepines9014]

Hi Dee, I found it interesting that the 2 main ingredients in your shampoo pare olive oil and coconut oil. Please share them collagen brands you like! Hope you are well!🐞

[@LadyBugout]

That is interesting!!! I use a brand called Neocell and Vital Proteins is another.

[@dianepines9014]

@@LadyBugout Thanks Dee!🤗

[@vickiegroome3220]

Reminds me of a camping trip to Shenandoah Valley . Was used to washing my hair daily . After the first day(winter and snowy) on went the toboggan. Funny, they awarded me the white toboggan. My head was so sore from 4 days of being wrapped.

[@LadyBugout]

That’s a fun memory!

[@gdgbd_joan]

Thanks for sharing your tips and gear! I've started the process of embracing my gray - it's so much easier and lower maintenance Dying my hair to ease the transition and lessen the contrast/impact of my skunk stripe was key. :)

Yes and stick with it.. patience required but soooo worth it.

[@LadyBugout]

[@LadyBugout]

Oh dear…glad it is recuperating. I know hair can be a delicate topic for many-I hesitated doing this video for that reason. I don’t want anyone to feel bad if they happen to be going through something with their hair (chemo or thinning, balding, etc.). I’m glad it was helpful in some way for you🥰

I can’t believe you did a blowout in your van. Since my brain surgery, the only thing I do is shave the back once a month; it’s more comfortable. I use an organic shampoo bar and love it.🌿

[@Allearsandeyes57]

I’m grateful that I don’t have to fuss w my hair, either. I’ve not had a hair dresser, and I don’t color mine. At 66, mine is still not totally gray, it hides underneath, and you can only see it when it’s up, which is rare, except hot summer days outside… You are fortunate, too. My hair just doesn’t get that dirty,unless I’m outside a lot and it’s super windy and dusty or I’ve been doing a lot of landscaping… thanks again for thorough and helpful tips and sharing all of your routines, cooking and everything! You’re so generous and really knowledgeable

I'm getting ready to start my Nomad life in October. I have very oily hair. I have to wash it about every two days. So it's nice to see some alternatives on how to take care of my hair. I bought a solar shower I just need to pick up a tent, and I think that'll work for me, but I really like that little pressure washer container you have. Thanks for the tips

Great thoughts! Makeup/no makeup, hair color (of all variations)/grayhair, shaving/no shaving - I’ve switched it up so many times it’s made me dizzy. Living in our class c has me doing whatever is simplest, much to my delight. But, I still alter routines when I feel like I’m going to stick out like a sore thumb, lol. I guess it’s all about what makes you feel good. But that old saying, “I just washed my hair and can’t do a think with it” is so true. My hair looks and feels best when it’s “aged” a bit! Great job as always, Dee! Thanks, again.

[@LadyBugout]

Love it!!! Yes, It is about what makes you feel good about yourself 🙌🏼💃🏻😎

[@RLeeVanCamps]

I always had dark hair. Started letting it go grey naturally. I get so many compliments on how beautiful it looks. I have long hair also. In between washings I brush daily for 100 or thereabouts strokes some done with hair flipped upside down Only wash once a week.

Glad you enjoyed!!! Lol ponytails, ughhh😜

[@roxrollson]

Good stuff! I've got thick hair like yours, wavy-curly and on the drier side. A few years ago I started doing the "transition thru highlighting," growing out to grey. Last year, I was turning 60 and decided to just do the "big chop," which left nothing but my natural color (boring, taupe) with the grey (which I LOVE) sprinkled in. I'm growing it out again, which is sorta painful, since it seems to do whatever the heck it wants and I'm too lazy to spend time styling it... but that's what hats are for 😂 I've got a growing collection. Love your videos, and i hope we run into each other on the road someday!

[@LadyBugout]

Your hair looks great!!! Lol-I always say my hair ha am ind if it’s own😝 If you see me on the road give a holler 🙌🏼

But planning a few road trips soon & few overnight sleeping in my car ( a steel tent with canvas roof !!! Toyota Solara Convertible !! ) Great info for those with long hair !! May grow mine long again !

[@LadyBugout]

Nice! Yay… excited for you to get on the road!

[@ChrisW228]

I’m also just learning that my hair does much better when washed less. When I was working, I took a shower and washed my hair every morning because it woke me up and I just felt dirty if I didn’t. When I retired (mid 40s) I started to skip a day, but still felt pretty dirty if I didn’t shower and wash it every other day. We just finished a bathroom remodel that was scheduled for two weeks, but took ten. My husband did rig up a pretty ingenious shower system in our laundry room, but there were negatives to it, so I used it less and less. By the time we had (only a) tub, I was down to every 4-5 days or so. That’s where I am currently, but I am going to try to go longer because, yes, my hair is definitely healthier. I started out with thick, brown, healthy hair just like yours, Dee. Unfortunately, I had chemo in 2018 (cancer free ever since :) ) and my hair never recovered. It went from thick and soft to thin and .. wiry? Just dry. But washing less frequently does make it less frizzy, more of a pretty curl, so I’ll continue exploring.

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you for sharing Chris. Sorry about the chemo-that would be very traumatic. Hope it means that you are healing and better each day!🥰

[@marthabradas8873]

Great hair care tips! Thank you! I am outdoors sooo much, and taking care of my hair is important to me. Also, I want to go gray naturally, but I have always had dark hair, and the stark contrast is not pleasing to me. So I love that you are working with a stylist to have a better transition. Pulling my hair back into ponytails also hurts my head, lol. So I have some sun hats that have a hole in the back so I can just pull my hair through it. That's helped a lot. Thanks Dee, for being so open about all the hair care journey you have experienced. I am going to order that soap, too. You are awesome, I hope you have a fantastic week!!! 🥰😀👋👋

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you, Martha! Glad it was helpful to see. I hesitated making it because hair is such a personal thing for some women and can be frustrating to some who don’t have the hair they want or can’t do anything about the hair they have. I like the hat with the hole for a ponytail idea!!! 🤗

[@marthabradas8873]

I did try the soap, it is excellent, Something I saw suggested a silk bonnet for your hair while you sleep. Have you ever tried that? Hope you are well! @@LadyBugout

Muy bien dicho and explained. I do as well in care of my hair. As to my grey, they thought I just streaked my front bangs 😁 but when I pulled back for a ponytail, you saw all my white hair underneath and tail light brown. You have very gorgeous hair.

Hahahaha I just came across your channel tonight and wondered how you color your hair living in the van, and here we are with the perfect video upload!

[@LadyBugout]

Lol that’s awesome! Glad to read your mind 😂

[@jeannemarlene]

Always beautiful lady 🐞 out ❤️ happy travels too😇

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you Jeanne🥰

[@foreverirish132]

Really love your videos Dee 😊 would love to hear more of your natural recommendations 💚

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you. I will definitely try to sprinkle more in of those in☺️

[@michelleellis8201]

I think that pump bottle is a good idea for me when I am camping. Your hair is so beautiful and it’s nice to know how you care for it on the road . I enjoyed the video and thanks for sharing ideas with us! 😊

[@LadyBugout]

I’m glad it was helpful! Yes, I love that little gadget-it comes in handy!

[@lnix2433]

Thanks for making this video. Such great information! I have hair that is almost waist length with slightly oily scalp. I can go six days before I really need to wash it and it is true that the less I wash it the less it produces oil. I am aiming to get to a full week before needing to wash it. The information about your experience is a gold mine for me. Again thanks!

[@LadyBugout]

Glad it was helpful!💃🏻🙌🏼💪🏼

[@rebelm256]

Totally agree with hair care tips. I have same hair type, wash about every 2 weeks & it’s wild! I started washing before sleeping & wrapping large sections in cotton rags. Seems to straighten a bit and I wake up slightly tamed. Let my hair go silver/grey/white 15 years ago & love having the extra money🤑. Now it’s really curly underneath & at neck line with all the white, but oh well - trade offs! I’ll be trying your caster oil tips - thanks. Have a great week - your parking spot looks beautiful😎

[@LadyBugout]

That’s so cool! It’s funny, I’ve been seeing all the lovely grey hair for years now on others and I think that was my clue that I should let it do it’s thing 😜

[@fucimariani]

Your hair looks so healthy

[@LadyBugout]

Thanks. 😊

[@willothewispl]

I just sit on a chair and bend over putting my legs as far to the sides as I can. I use one bottle of water to wet my hair, another bottle of water to rinse. Easy to do. Winter time is harder but you can do it quick outside. Need to get back inside and dry hair as quick as possible.

[@LadyBugout]

Sounds like a great system!☺️

[@tamaradl2017]

Your videos are incredibly helpful and filled with so many clever tips!! My boyfriend and I just purchased a little nissan nv200 and we love coming to your page for tips and advice, thank you for sharing your journey!!!

[@LadyBugout]

That’s awesome! Glad to hear the channel is helpful. Have fun with your build🙌🏼💃🏻💪🏼

[@MariaDiaz-of6qz]

The short hair also helps as a practical way when there''s not enaugh water. ❤

[@LadyBugout]

Yes! All my friends with short hair have that advantage for sure!!!🤗

[@nonyabizness.original]

i'm baffled at how little water dee used to rinse- i have hair just as long but half the thickness... gonna have to re-evaluate what i'm doing wrong!

[@BalancedHuman]

Omg I LOOOOOVE your hair and I love that you’re growing your gray out! It’s gonna look more and more beautiful and I’m excited for you. 😍😍 Thanks for this video - I had no idea some Walmarts have salons and it’s such a smart idea. Lots of love! 💚🌲🐌🌿🌷🙏🏼

[@LadyBugout]

I’m so glad it was helpful. Yep, crazy. Not all of them have salons, and it’s not always the ‘best’ care, but for a blow out it works great!!!

[@hurdurdur7rl696]

my hair is half an inch long. if gets up to an inch i cut it down to a quarter. never had a problem. but jokes aside, i'm pretty sure you have viewers here that envy the way your hair looks. you're doing good.

[@LadyBugout]

That is a great way to do it!!! I have many friends who prefer their hair short for the ease of it! 🤗

[@markrenfrow9873]

Hey Ms. Dee! I think you should just do You! 'Cause it works for you. After I separated from the air force in '81 I've had a ponytail, never gave me headaches (other than the crap I had to take from co-workers and such). Now at 65 years young, I've got a few greys showing up. I'm embracing them, easy cause my beard has been mostly grey for 10 years.

[@LadyBugout]

Lol…well, glad you didn’t get headaches from the ponytail itself. I’ve had grey stragglers since my late twenties-never bothered me. It is the strange way it was growing in now that it’s 60% grey-patches coming in weird blotches. I might look like a Calico cat 😂

[@Delilaah57]

Dee, I can't believe how similar we are! Not only are we FTC owners, we we eat similarly AND take care of our hair much the same way. For the past 10 years, I have never died my hair. Instead, I wash it once a week on average (although Ive gone longer cuz Im lazy lol), use ORGANIC shampoo (Oneka, which is a Canadian brand) and to brighten it up, I use a light HENNA (by Colora) which makes it a gorgeous light brown/golden brown color. Since it grows quite slow, I opt for a $18 trim at Great Clips for Hair. I have even noticed over the years, my hair is actually turning back to its original color (brown). The hairdresser last time told me my hair is (re-pigmenting), a term I'd never heard of. I will be 66 this year and have very little noticeable grey. I do not use ANY products on my hair, only the occasional light (VERY LIGHT) application of coconut oil, which makes it incredibly shiny and look as though I have blond streaks! Fabulous! Also, like you, Ive ditched a brush and prefer a wide tooth comb. Diet is key......especially greens which contain COPPER, which may be responsible for hair returning to its original color. Sorry for the rant, but I just HAD to comment when I saw this video. Thanks Dee!

[@LadyBugout]

That’s awesome! I do think diet has a lot to do with it and genetics 😜. But, I’m glad you enjoy your hair too💃🏻🙌🏼💪🏼

[@clarasmith1873]

Thank you for sharing your tips.

[@LadyBugout]

You’re welcome, Clara☺️

[@joyjournal6157]

I've been experimenting with getting clean hair with minimal water. May I share? I've found this works best. It takes two microfibre cloths, baking soda, shampoo, vinegar and about 2 cups of water. First, put 1/2 tsp baking soda and a few drops of shampoo in 1 cup warm water. Make the cloth wet but not dripping. Rub through your hair til you feel it is clean. Then put some vinegar in the second cup of water and "rinse" using the second micro fibre cloth to wipe through your hair. I've found it works quite well.

[@LadyBugout]

That sounds like a great system!!

[@gregoryknight1772]

Ha Ha I knew this was coming. I'm 61 male with almost as much hair (almost).I use a pump sprayer also people can't believe I use bar soap till they smell the Irish spring.I am sure you are outside as much as me the bleaching from the sun with the graying you will be as lovely as ever0:49

[@LadyBugout]

Nice!!! I look forward to that day 💃🏻

[@krisgarren5735]

Thank You for making this video, I’ve been considering trying the shampoo bar and now I ordered it to try out. I love your less is more philosophy and I have also been trying to limit how often I shampoo my hair. I look forward to your video’s and am so glad you decided to keep making them.

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you, Kris! It takes some getting used to because it doesn’t form a lather. But once you get used to it, it is so much more refreshing and clean feeling.

[@kathyhurrle2966]

Great tips. I like your blow dryer and straightener. I have natural curly hair so I just air dry. Curly hair just seems to look better on my face. I always dyed my hair dark. So over 11 years ago I decided to stop so I had my hair buzzed. It was so freeing and I never had a bad hair day. I’ve always wanted to do it so I thought since I was going to stop dyeing it was a great time to try a buzz. I really loved it. I went from dark hair to silver hair in 30 minutes. It was a shocker. I then slowly but surely grew my hair to the middle of my back. I love it that long but in the past year I started loosing hair. I’m not sure why but I wear it just touching my shoulders. But I really love my natural color. I hope you love yours as well. The one important thing is that you really won’t know what it will look like until you get rid of every bit of the dye. Light hair is very reflective and it will brighten up when all of the dye is gone. There’s also a lot of Facebook pages to join for going gray. One I love is Gray and Proud but there’s several. Also there’s a lot of pictures on Pinterest. It’ll be fun watching your natural hair journey.

[@LadyBugout]

Wow! That’s an awesome hair story. Not sure I could do it, but I’ve known a couple other women who have done something similar and have loved it!

[@cherylroth]

In it's entirety, it's a beautiful thing 💞

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you, Cheryl☺️

[@RLeeVanCamps]

As for wrinkles and grey. They are my badges or medals if you will. I earned them all😊

[@LadyBugout]

I love that!☺️

[@ritasmoot1823]

Thank you Dee! I have the same issues with my hair. I did stop coloring my hair when I turned 50. I had decided to embrace the “SPARKLE “! So to speak. Three (almost 4 now) years later and not loving what I would no longer call sparkle. Lol. I am going to start taking collagen again. Took it before, but, got out of the habit. 😮. Another great video. So glad to see you! Take care and safe travels!😊

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you Rita! Lol…I love that ‘sparkles’ 💃🏻🙌🏼🥰

[@BecomingBev]

You find THE BEST gadgets!!!!

[@LadyBugout]

Lol… you know it girl💃🏻🙌🏼💪🏼

[@marthabradas8873]

Thanks!

[@LadyBugout]

Aww thank you, Martha🥰

[@deeoh3708]

Your hair is beautiful Dee. Thanks for the hints. :) I let my short hair go gray several years ago.. best thing I ever did! Love the steel colour it's gone and do get lots of compliments on the colour!! which is genetics on my Dad's side! 😄

[@LadyBugout]

Nice!!! Sounds gorgeous🤗

[@62WILDCAT]

Yes ! Collagen is great for us ! Especially as our bodies age .

[@LadyBugout]

Yep!!!

[@BulletsPrincess]

The link for the Rechargeable Cordless Straightener Brush leads to the castor oil. You have beautiful hair.

[@LadyBugout]

Oops. I’ll go look at that.

[@LadyBugout]

Thanks for catching that…and for the compliment on my hair☺️

[@kathyhatfield9649]

Yea! Your back. Always look forward to your videos. You always have such great ideas.

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you, Kathy!☺️

[@sandrasomewhere]

Gorgeous! Your hair is always so beautiful. ♥️

[@LadyBugout]

Right back at you my friend!!!☺️

[@debbiehawk-payne8507]

👋👩🐞 You have beautiful hair ! I've had very fine hair since I was a child just like my Mothet 🙂 Thank you for sharing your wisdom & helpful information ! 👍🤗Great video thank you for sharing!🙂 Stay safe/Be Happy & I'll see you on the next video! 🙂

[@chasingsimpledreams]

Yes, the video we have all been waiting for!! lol.

[@LadyBugout]

Lol…😂

[@donnabacon4681]

Dee - your hair is GORGEOUS!! So thick and lots of it! Whatever you're doing, keep doing as it works!! We do tend to over everything - exercise, eat, wash/bath ... I don't know when all the need to bath & shampoo every day became a thing. My skin and hair is also on the dry side - I could scratch a small poem on legs!! Regarding products - yes! They will attract and grab onto dust, dirt, smoke, smells - hair gets a lot dirtier a lot faster. When I worked in an office, I had to shampoo every day because of using products. Enjoy your videos! A lot of great ides! You are one smart lady; organized, efficient, snd Love! Love! Love! your van!! Enjoy your day!! xxoo

[@LadyBugout]

Thanks! Yeah, I feel like every time I simplify something, it works out better for me-from my can to my hair care😝. I’m glad you enjoy the channel🥰

[@UPwardlyVocal]

Your hair is gorgeous.

[@LadyBugout]

I appreciate the compliment Tammara 🥰

[@Dbellerive22605]

I’m like you… my hair is the same; wavy/curly, normal to dry. Products make my hair feel sticky and gross. I wear my hair in a side , low braid because I have too much hair. It drives me crazy! 😂

[@LadyBugout]

Love it!!!💃🏻

[@belindaknowles7440]

I have been hesitant to use bars for my hair. I’ve heard they leave your hair feeling yucky. I’m going to try the brand you use. I don’t like all the plastic bottles. Thanks for sharing ❤️😊

[@LadyBugout]

It takes some getting used to for sure. It doesn’t lather and if you are used to your hair feeling silky when wet, it can be quite strange at first. But now I’m used to it.

[@Playitagaindian]

I’m happy with the Trader Joe’s Shampoo Bar. 👍🏻

[@DesertAdventuresinArizona]

Awesome Dee!

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you☺️

[@Oceangirl326]

You have beautiful hair. Thanks for the tips.

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you, Scottie!☺️

[@nancyjohnson2070]

Thanks for sharing your hair care routine. I have transitioned from coloring my hair to all grey. Took me 1 1/2 years and I’m so glad I did. I’ve wanted to switch shampoo/rinse now that my hair isn’t colored anymore. I’ll try the JR Liggetts. I too wash my hair less now and it looks great. It’s also stronger. Thanks again. 😊

[@LadyBugout]

I can see in your photo it looks awesome!!!
