My Natural Wavy Hair Journey with Notion

This is a more vulnerable/personal share, about how I've been using Notion to help me learn how to style my naturally wavy hair.
I've fought my naturally wavy hair my whole life, and didn't realize that I was creating more damage by resisting my hairs' natural texture, and trying to straighten it every day. I had no idea about any of the techniques or products that can help us wavy haired girls embrace and enhance our waves.
I'm on a journey to try to embrace my natural hair by learning how to take better care of it, but WOW there's a lot to learn.
I created a Wavy Hair dashboard to help me take notes about products, application techniques, routines, etc. I take a selfie every day and take note of what I did, what products I use, so I can learn how to get better.

That wash day look is 🔥

Wavy hair girls unite! When I first started my wavy hair journey, I had so many days of despair... I almost gave up. It's worth it if you stick with it and it'll be SO COOL to watch the visual journey with the daily hair selfies! 💜

[@mbarr]

Girl! Your wavy hair is an asset

[@jpearce30]

As always, PURE gold. Just seeing how you even go about organizing all of this data and resources is so, so helpful! Going to think about how to apply this to my current projects

[@marlowe7448]

I am so amazed and feel like someone just fit the missing puzzle piece into the haircare portion of my brain. This is basically the same way my brain thinks about skin and hair care. I am just so grateful that you are letting people buy this, because this is no doubt the best style of database I have come across for something like this. I just love that there is someone out there who has wavy hair and likes notion enough to make all of this so I didn't have to myself lol. You are awesome!

[@AislinEvans]

I'm sensing hesitancy and shame for not knowing these things and I wanna hug and reassure you so much! I feel the same with a lot of 'taking care of myself things' and I think a lot of it comes from having an absent mother and having to take care of myself as a teenager and just not being properly taught how to. sending all my love in your direction 💗and also, I think your wavy hair is looking gorgeous in this video!! :)

[@blnchee]

I love this ! Thank you so much for making me feel not alone in wanting to track things such like my hair in Notion. I wasn’t sure how to go about it but now I have so many ideas on how to implement this in my Notion !

[@Valleyfilms]

Should you add a humidity/weather property to the journal? Haha

[@MariePoulin]

Haha, yes probably! I was just wondering that today! Maybe i should see about integrating with a weather API.. hmmm :D

[@skaerup]

I absolutely love this! I need something like this for my skincare journey; thank you for the inspiration!

[@brendalg4]

I thought this was going to be an "I hate my wavy hair video". Glad to see I was wrong.

[@llavedia]

Wow!! Marie, love this!! Wavy hair here, and want to start a similar journey!! Will you have this template available sometime?? Would really love it!

[@MariePoulin]

You bet! i'm just cleaning it up - will post in a few days!

[@bibliophile8339]

Can u make video about logseq to. I think it's gonna be great ☺️, (new tool, new things...) Thanks

[@VulcanOnWheels]

I do hope your journey has been going as well as you hoped it would since recording this video.

I’ve learned a lot about ADHD in the past year, and I’m pretty convinced I have it, but haven’t figured out how to go about getting a diagnosis. I’m so afraid I’ll be told that nope, you don’t qualify, you are just lazy and you suck (I’m sure it wouldn’t be said in those words, but inner voice and all). I’ve actually been trying to make up some similar lists/timelines to see how long it takes me to get ready, because I really do not have a good sense of time, and I underestimate often how long task (or worse, sets of tasks) will take me to do. I would love to see more about that portion of your page… especially the part about the various hair routines. In particular… it looks like each step is an entry in a database, but then you clicked on something that looked like a page that held all of the steps, and I don’t understand how you were able to create that. I would love to understand that better. Thank you for being vulnerable and showing specific use-cases like this.

I am bald but that was very nice video!

[@dfxdfx5368]

The more I watch your videos the more you remind me of Vera Farmiga.

[@MariePoulin]

I accept this ridiculous compliment, haha

[@dfxdfx5368]

@@MariePoulin She accepted it too when I told her.
