Silky Smooth Hair Tips

by Katie Wallace | Updated: August 27, 2016

I have to admit, I don’t have a lot of time to do my hair. With two toddlers and a baby, I’m lucky if I even get a morning glance in the mirror. I have always felt strongly about doing my makeup before leaving the house because it makes me feel more put together, but hair often gets tossed up with a hair band. I recently discovered some awesome hair care products that not only strengthen my low-maintenance hair, but also have a great fragrance. Giovanni 2chic Ultra Repair hair care products cleanse, reinforce hair strands, and give my hair a natural shine.

Giovanni 2chic Ultra Repair Super Potion Hair Oil Serum with blackberry and coconut milk smooths and softens my hair and tames frizz and flyaways. I generally straighten my hair because I have just enough natural curl to look disheveled. Regularly straightening my hair can dry out hair strands, making it important for me to use a product that adds moisture and protects my tresses. Giovanni 2chic hair serum goes on smoothly and adds just a bit of natural shine. It also prevents my hair from breaking and smooths down split ends. I’ve definitely noticed a difference in my hair’s smoothness and manageability on the days I use the Giovanni 2chic hair serum, contrasted by the days I don’t.

Giovanni 2chic Hair Care Highlights

  • Repairs and renews vibrancy
  • Hydrates and seals tresses
  • Gently wraps each strand to protect from damage
  • Eliminates frizz and is color safe
  • Lauryl & Lauretha sulfate free

Giovanni 2chic Ultra Repair Shampoo with blackberry and coconut milk cleanses and revives dry and dingy hair without the use of harsh ingredients. I love the smell of this shampoo that’s lightly scented thanks to the blackberry and coconut milk. Coconut milk is instrumental in nourishing hair, making your hair shiny,ย even preventing balding! It strengthens hair by filling it up with proteins and can even be used as a detangler. The coconut milk in this Giovanni acts as a smoothing ingredient, making my hair feel silky and reinforcing natural oils.

Giovanni 2chic Ultra Repair Conditioner with blackberry and coconut milk is also a great product. After using for several weeks, especially in combination with the Giovanni hot oil treatment, my hair feels strong and smooth to the touch. I also haven’t had many split ends this summer. I do try to trim my hair regularly, but with 3 small children it’s also important to me to find easy hair products I can regularly use to maintain healthy, shiny hair.

Giovanni 2chic Ultra Repair shampoo, conditioner, and hair serum with blackberry and coconut milk is an easy way for you to smooth and strengthen your hair within your normal hair care routine, even as a busy mom! I have noticed a difference in my hair texture by using these products, especially on the days that I straighten my hair. I hope you enjoy these products as much as I have toย rejuvenateย your hair.

๐ŸŒ‰ Destination Highlight: Tower Bridge, London! ๐ŸŒ‰ Destination Highlight: Tower Bridge, London! ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

Tower Bridge ended up being such a memorable stop! The walkways offer amazing views of the River Thames and the city skyline.

โœจ Fun facts:

Tower Bridge opened in 1894 after eight years of construction.

Itโ€™s a bascule bridge, meaning the roadway lifts up for tall ships to pass through.

The glass floor walkways were added in 2014, giving visitors a thrilling (and slightly scary!) perspective from 138 feet above the Thames.

Our kids loved learning how the bridge lifts up using giant counterweights, and we all left with a new appreciation for Londonโ€™s engineering and history. ๐Ÿ’™

Would you be brave enough to walk across the glass floor? ๐Ÿ˜„

A day exploring London with four kids! โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

Here are a few of our favorite family-friendly spots ๐Ÿ‘‡

โœจ Big Ben & the London Eye โ€“ Iconic landmarks and amazing views around Westminster.

๐ŸŒ‰ Tower Bridge โ€“ An interactive, educational stop that our kids absolutely loved!

๐Ÿ›๏ธ British Museum โ€“ We explored Egyptian and Assyrian exhibits and even saw the Rosetta Stone! ๐Ÿคฏ

๐Ÿ›๏ธ Liberty London โ€“ A fun and colorful stop for unique souvenirs and creative inspiration.

Every corner of London had something special; so much history, beauty, and adventure for families! ๐Ÿ’‚โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’™

We save a ton of money while traveling with these We save a ton of money while traveling with these creative housing options! โœจ 

Spend more time in each place you visit and live like a local, instead of just passing through.

Weโ€™ve loved discovering ways to travel that feel authentic and affordable! 

๐Ÿ  HomeExchange lets you stay in real homes that are comfy, family-friendly, and full of character. With a unique points system, you can travel flexibly โ€” like we do all around the world! Use your points to stay in memorable homes, or exchange your home directly. Weโ€™ve done both and made some unforgettable memories along the way!

๐Ÿฑ Trusted Housesitters is another great housing resource. These arranged stays typically include caring for someoneโ€™s pets, while staying at their house. Weโ€™ve stayed in many beautiful homes in exchange for petsitting dogs, cats, and chickens!

๐ŸŒ Servas allows travelers to connect with hosts all around the world. Weโ€™ve stayed in a familyโ€™s extra bedrooms or living space and enjoyed a homecooked meal, while learning about local culture. Servas hosts typically love meeting new people and hearing their stories! ๐Ÿ’› Itโ€™s only tricky if you donโ€™t speak the same language! ๐Ÿ˜† 

Slow travel gives kids time to explore, play, and feel at home wherever we land โ€” and gives us parents a chance to catch our breath between adventures. 

๐ŸŒŸ Which housing resource sounds the most interesting to you?

Hi! Weโ€™re the Wallace family. ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ˜€ We love traveling with our 4 kids, homeschooling, and exploring.

Secrets revealed ๐ŸŒ for family travel & worldsch Secrets revealed ๐ŸŒ for family travel & worldschooling!

These tips make traveling with kids ALOT easier!

๐Ÿ“š Schoolwork: Our kids complete lessons in their workbooks several times a week. While traveling, we often bring along Math-U-See workbooks, language arts, and spelling. This keeps our kids moving forward and feeling productive. 

๐Ÿฐ Field trips: We go on excursions to amazing castles, fascinating museums, and interesting cultural centers. We talk about geography and science as we explore amazing places!

๐ŸŽง Downtime: We often have rest time while traveling. We read books or listen to audio books and music. ย 

๐Ÿ’ถ Allowance: We give our kids weekly spending money. They can earn this by doing chores at our Airbnb. I also pay our kids to participate in family photos, often $5 each per city! This results in great attitudes when taking photos in Paris, Rome, or London. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ˜€

With these tips, our travel life easily becomes regular life, and we get to see amazing destinations and make memories together!
