NEW Hair Routine-Arthritis (plus Other Changes) Gave me BETTER HAIR

[@julieberry1881]

I always thought the shampoo makers put “lather, rinse, repeat” in the directions to sell more shampoo but washing twice really does make a difference!

[@debbietalbert3737]

I have a pink spa headband that I use when washing my face and applying makeup. I had it on recently when my Three year old grandson was here. He said, “You look pretty Mimi!”❤️ God bless you

[@susanrnbc]

You make me so thankful I have short hair! I would not have enough patience to go through a hair routine like you do! And wow! That hair dryer looks amazing…and too expensive for me!

[@paulachristie7807]

I had the same thought! Thank goodness my hair is chin length and naturally straight. If it’s a little frizzy, I rub a tiny amount of mousse through it. If it takes longer than 10 minutes to blow dry my hair I’d be surprised. Also, I let it go gray years ago and since I’m no longer coloring it, it is much healthier.

[@noogagirl]

Great tips! Im 60 and use to have very dry and damaged hair. I got it colored often because I had a lot of gray. Finally at 58 I decided to let my gray grow. Now my hair is mostly white and the best thing is that my hair is so much healthier than before. It is so soft and silky. I use very little product on it now. Ive always only washed my hair about once a week maybe twice and I still do that with my white hair too. I can't even usr conditioner anymore because it just makes my hair way to soft.

[@lauriemayne9475]

Thank you Bobbie for tge hair tips for us "fine hair" girls! I have a tip for you possibly. One time I ran out of my frizz oil, and used coconut oil on my ends only...helped me alot and worked just as well. A dab will do you!😍

[@susanw620]

When influencers wear those puffy headbands, it always reminds me of the stepsisters in Cinderella at the ball (Leslie Warren version)!😀

[@MindfulMidlife]

Haha, my husband says I look like the Statute of 🗽

[@WendyW7508]

OMG! I have the same fingers! On both hands, and my ' fist' is exactly the same. And i have been looking for some adaptive things i can put on my hairbrush and on kitchen utensils. The knives only. It's terrible! Im 49, and i have no diagnosis yet for why this is happening. Pain down into the middle of my hands and up to my elbow joints also. And i can not open my hands up all the way, or squeeze anything except for with my thumb and first fingers only. Thank you for sharing this information, and just your story, ur situation. I appreciate it so much.

[@christinaraestott710]

66 love the Dyson I also have arthritis, I also shampoo upside down it does work well. Ps you’re adorable

[@cindycorrigan3722]

This makes me so pleased I have short hair! Its very easy to care for. I admire your patience and tenacity though. 😊😊

[@donnagarlitz7916]

I just found your channel about 4 months ago and I thoroughly enjoy it. It’s nice to get information from someone who is clear to understand, isn’t throwing so many products into a video that it becomes confusing, and simply shares common issues that most people in our age group experience to some degree. This was a great video and good information. I have arthritis in in my shoulders and arms and it makes hair styling harder than it use to be. So hearing about blow dryers and brushes is great. Now, if I could only have a daughter that is an esthetician I would be great!

[@MindfulMidlife]

Thank you so much for telling me that Donna! Also, I have a sister named Donna!!!

[@samanthamillard6988]

I’m near your age and have fine hair too. I really like Kendra Volumizing shampoo and conditioner. It seems to really help a lot.

[@valerie718]

Very nice tutorial. My hair is super fine and thin. I think I can get it totally dry within 2 minutes with a blow dryer. I am so envious of your beautiful hair.

[@hbarlaam]

Your hair looks lovely in the intro! It's always been difficult for me to hold a brush and blow dryer too...not due to arthritis, but for other reasons. Thank you for all the tips! On an unrelated note, I found your video from a while ago about all the BK Beauty brushes compared super helpful. I'd love to see a video review by you discussing their 3 new complexion brushes and comparing to the older ones!

[@lynnecraill1632]

Hi Bobbie. Love your channel ❤. I agree with so much that you've said. I have to wash my hair every 2 days. I wash my hair over the side of the bath, using a hand shower, so also upside down. I dry it upside down too. It certainly does help for volume at the roots. I was wondering which type of arthritis you have, and what your first symptoms were?

[@pandora_3314]

I’m going to try these tips tonight, I haven’t been able to use a blow dryer and brush because of a torn rotator cuff so I use the revlon one step. Not my favourite because it gets too hot but it does the job. Washing my hair is hard too as I can’t lift my right arm, maybe washing it upside down will be easier, thanks Bobbie!

[@puppycat9412]

I have the bio ionic flat iron too. My hairdresser uses it. I like the vibration mode a lot. My hair never gets caught or yanked, very smooth. Also, I wanted to add that when I wash my hair, I don’t Swirl it around all Willy nilly like I used to. I saw someone on TikTok do this, wash with your fingertips (arched hands) on your scalp in a back and forth motion. You don’t cause tangles when you do this. Game changer. Love your tips!

[@lisaharr1477]

I have very fine textured non porous hair and I still get very oily on the crown to the back of my neck. I have to wash daily or the oil just builds up too much, and I haven’t found a dry shampoo that works well. They all weigh my hair down too much. If I do skip a day of washing, I do my first wash upside down and I agree it really gets the shampoo right in my very oily area and it gets it much cleaner. I keep wishing my scalp would dry out so I could skip multiple days,but I am 66 and so far it isn’t happening ! Your hair is gorgeous Bobbie !!! 💕💕💕💕

[@TheCelestialhealer]

Great that you showed all the phases, because I have similiar hair, so your hairstyle is very inspiring.I will buy the cul iron and heat protector. Thank you 🙏🏼🥳

[@brightpage1020]

Thank you! Love the new product intros for the season of life I'm entering... Grateful! Olivia Garden are the best brushes!! For real! I have thick, unruly hair and those are now the only ones I use because they can handle it.

[@lfmccune]

Your hair looks fabulous! Thank you for sharing your tips! I have the headband you featured at the end, and mine came with matching wrist cuffs that catch the water when I wash my face, so it doesn't run down my arms or splash onto the counter. One of those things I didn't know I desperately needed!! I've even worn the headband out when I was singing with a Big Band. It's functional and fashionable!! :)

[@MindfulMidlife]

Yes, I also have those cuffs. I had mine from before so I didn't need to order the headband with them. I use mine every night - game changer indeed!!!

[@RitaVernoy]

Thank you!Ihave very fine, hair and also have arthritis, such practical advice. I appreciate you sharing it with us.❤

Thanks for sharing your routine. I like the evanyc protectant, thanks to you. I love my $6 brush dryer that I got from the thrift store (disinfected, of course). I appreciate you being here for us ! Hi Mrs. Betty 👋❣️ Happy new year! Stay happy & thank God everyday. God bless you immensely. 💌

[@MindfulMidlife]

I love that you got it at a thrift store - what a score!!! By the way...I think it feels like I live near you today. We woke up to 4°F this morning 🥶 ! Thanks Lena!

[@LenaSheppard]

@MindfulMidlife Wow! That's cold for you. We have been in the mid to upper 30s in Alaska!! And we've had rain making the village roads glare ice. Luckily, it's frosting over & more manageable riding our atvs (main mode of village transportation). Stay warm, Bobbie ☕!!

[@ginnyc65]

Been watching your channel for a while now and love it! Since we are in the same age range and face a lot of similar issues, I appreciate all of the tips and suggestions you give. I wanted to see if you have had problems with heavy hair shedding/loss since menopause. I was always so proud of my hair, it was pretty thick and healthy and I have worn it long for the majority of my life. I don’t color my hair and am pretty much all gray now. Over the past year, I have noticed a ton of shedding and am very thankful that I had thick hair to begin with, but dang, it’s going down hill fast. I’m on HRT, but that doesn’t seem to be helping with hair growth, except on my face, that has ramped up considerably. 😂 Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.

[@MindfulMidlife]

I've been using red light therapy on my hair for a couple years. I've had great results. The one I use is extremely expensive (it was given to me). Here's the link to that one: amzn.to/4h1JACJ I have heard really good things about this one as well: amzn.to/4g66V4O Honestly, If you really want to use red light, I would not go cheap, but I'll also be honest and say I have never used the cheap ones.

[@karlaharvey2623]

I grew up with mom washing my long hair in the kitchen sink, and here iam at 63 and still wash my hair twice in the sink. I too blow dry my hair upside down, but I do let it air dry as much as possible. It’s almost to my waist and as a natural blonde, I’m shedding once again. 🤦🏼‍♀️. I use the coconut oil after it’s completely dry which adds shine and I feel helps aide in not shedding as much. I will never use a dry shampoo. To me it’s just nasty. lol. Great hair routine Bobbie. Thank you for sharing. I keep seeing advertisements on Kitsch bar shampoos, and Condioning bars, have you tried them?

[@MindfulMidlife]

Hi Karla! Wow, to your waist!!! That's amazing! I've never tried coconut oil, but I've heard good things. I have tried the Kitsch bars and I did a video about it. Here's the Link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppKbpISeotaDmK8

[@karlaharvey2623]

@ I now remember watching your review of them now, but I did re~ watch most of it. I guess it will be a pass for me as I have to have something really good to help with severe shedding. Your hair Always Looks so pretty and shiny Bobbie. Thank you sweetie

[@JonEllis-o1q]

You should try Leaf and Flower frizz remedy. It’s incredible and smells spa like! I no longer have frizz! I tried EVERYTHING.

[@MindfulMidlife]

Thank you for the tip, I'll check it out!

[@jackiek12]

Your hair looks beautiful! Perfection!

[@Connie4AU]

Hi Bobbie! Loved this video. How do you sleep to preserve your style? I use a kitsch scrunchie but it still leaves a bump at the base of my neck. Oh! And please..a tutorial oh how you got the beautiful wave/curl today. Its gorgeous.

[@MindfulMidlife]

Using a silk pillowcase helps, but I don't always use that. Honestly, my style isn't preserved that much from the day before. If I need it to look good, I will always have to retouch if it's curled.

[@deejohnson827]

Gorgeous hair, Bobbie! You look like a 1940s Hollywood starlet. QUESTION...you said you have fine hair...so do I. When (or if) you wear winter head gear like a stocking cap, does it slip off your hair? I have such trouble with that. Granted, I have way thinner hair than you, but I just wondered because it's happening to me more than it used to. Have a wonderful day! ❤

[@MindfulMidlife]

I don't wear hats like that so I'm not sure. I always wear ones that are attached to my coat of something like that. I do have trouble keeping clips or hair ties on unless they are VERY tight and I have a lot of hair in them.

[@deejohnson827]

@MindfulMidlife thanks for your feedback, Bobbie. 😊

[@samanthamillard6988]

I’ve never washed upside down! I always dry upside down for volume.

[@lindabennett9222]

[@BlessYourHeart254]

I have RA and can’t do the 20-minute blow-dry thing either. I’ve been scrunching my waves and going for decades now.

[@beachlover4413]

This was great and so timely. I have fine thin hair. I have tried every shampoo I could afford for fine hair and every trick people recommend but nothing works. I also have arthritis and a lot of sprays are hair (or impossible) to spray and get in the right area because sometimes I need both hands. What shampoos do you use (drugstore if possible)? Thank you for your very appropriate videos. You seem like such a fun person to be with, and I would love to be your friend!

[@tishdyer1]

I've only ever washed my hair upside down, so that's so interesting. And I so agree 2 washes every time. And I do wash my hair everyday because everything is better when I wash my hair - I feel better, it wakes me up, my hair is better & my makeup goes on so much better! Thanks for all the tips! ❤

[@SusanBrown-nd9mw]

I love my Lange! I use the oval shaped styler….and it has been totally worth the investment!

[@MindfulMidlife]

Agreed!!! The oval shaped one is a lot like my T3. Also, way less damage!!!

[@TracyD2]

I always washed my hair upside down and separate from bathing. My scalp is sensitive to heat. I basically do most of what you do. I use an extra wide tooth comb. I tried wet brush and it didn’t work for me but the one you showed looks good. The Ouai leave in is really good. I wished they kept that limited edition Byredo scented one though.

[@Kidges]

I have that brush cleaner! I love it

[@MindfulMidlife]

It's so good!

[@lindabennett9222]

So do I! Love it!

[@cvonsutphen]

I'm 57 and have fine, low density wavy hair. I spent about 4 years wearing it wavy but the mousses, gels and scrunching were taking a toll on my hair this Winter with increased shedding and breakage. I opted for a solid 2 inch chop into a bob style. I re-introduced silicones in conditioner and started using Nioxin Pro Clinical hair fall defense shampoo and daily treatment. Hair health has improved greatly in he past two weeks. I purchased the L'Oreal Ever Pure Bond Repair Oil-In-Serum. I like it as a finish to ends and will apply it on day 2,3 for hydration and smoothing any frizz. I just the EVANYC leave-in as my Pureology is running out. I will alternate between a sulfate and sulfate free shampoo for a second wash as the Nioxin is a treatment and stays on the scalp for two minutes. The L'Oreal Ever Pure Bond or Glossing formulas are my go-to. I recently purchased the Dove Bond Strength, highly fragranced and the shampoo irritates my scalp but I do like the conditioner.

[@moniquem9609]

Thank you for sharing what works for you . I like the more affordable options❤

[@dawnschultz777]

The one thing about clarifying shampoo is that it will pull /fade your color- it makes color-treated hair not last as long.

[@robinfisher8024]

That's a lot of upside down time!! lol Thanks for the video.

[@MindfulMidlife]

I know! But it makes a difference!😁

[@suesmith8570]

My hair is just like that after drying ! The next day it’s good to go!!!😅😂

[@gbarnett9470]

If you have trouble with balance. Clean kitchen and scrub sink clean. I then wash hair in kitchen sink. When you bend over with head in kitchen sink you will know if your sink is really clean. I keep shampoos and conditioner down stairs in kitchen. The bend over helps cleanse crown and nape of neck. I also drop pre-brush in bottom of sink to wash and rinse oils from dirty brush. I saw a teasing brush comb is a great scrubber to clean oils from brush.

[@TheNelsoncat]

With age I developed a sad problem: my thinning hair getting very creased on a back of the head were it touched a pillow at night. I don't know what to do. Any advise please?

[@kharrill6446]

I would suggest a silk (not satin) pillowcase. It has really helped me. It has other benefits as well.

[@leek7987]

Since I have osteopenia I am not supposed to bend over like that, it is awful for the spine for those with weak bones. I do like the brushes that you use.

[@carolinebennett5615]

Disagree on squeezing water out prior to conditioner. The water helps the conditioner get into/into the hair. I have wavy curly mid length hair and my hair is far better conditioned (ie waves and curls form well) when my hair is as wet as can be before conditioning. I brush it through too but water is essential. Curly girls know this but I more often dry it straight and it still makes a difference. Less frizz and more shine and softness. In fact, best conditioning is when you rinse your conditioned hair into a bowl and use the conditioner+water from that rinse to rinse again. I only do that if I want curls.

[@RutaKlimas-fr4ox]

I am 67 and have been shampooing upsidedown for over 20 years.

What if I can't bend over for more than a few seconds. I have vertigo and moving like this triggers it. Your hair looks so pretty. I have fine hair and I really wanted to see you curl your hair today.

Have you tried John Frida Frizz Ease serums or shampoos? They are my religion - doesn't weight it down but keeps it low profile whether I wear curly or straight.

[@MindfulMidlife]

I think I have but not for a LONG time.

[@UnBoxLifeWithLori]

I'm your age and it took me a long time to find a great shampoo ... And I spent a ton of money trying many brands ( salon brands, high end brands, and drug store brands ) . I had a coupon for Panteen Sulfate Free Rose Water Shampoo and Conditioner and it has been a game changer. My looks healthy, silky and shiny ( not dull or brittle ) For the Shampoo and the Conditioner are both $9.99 ( so $20 for both ) With a coupon it is much less. ( I'm 57 and color my hair every 8 weeks - and before using Sulfate Free Panteen Rose Gold Shampoo and Conditioner my hair was dull and brittle - my hair looked like old lady hair )
