Greetings from California! I’m traveling from LA to San Francisco this week with plenty of stops in between and having such an adventure! My mom and Annie are along for the ride and together we’re using this trip to celebrate my big 30th birthday on the 17th. Annie also turns 2 next week and I’m thinking that a little getaway to celebrate both of our birthdays is going to have to become a yearly tradition!
While I’m nervous to turn 30 and leave my 20s behind, I’m ready for everything that the next decade is promised to bring. Like the fact that it is totally okay to say au revoir to those all-nighters out on the town in favor of your couch and Netflix. That’s my jam these days! But what I’m not really ready for are all of the signs of aging that come along with growing old. Yes, it’s a privilege to grow old but actually SEEING the signs of it all of a sudden is kinda freaking me out!!
One notable difference I discovered after having Annie was how much my hair had changed. Your late 20s and early 30s are prime reproductive years and with that, this time in our lives can wreak havoc on our hair. (It’s totally worth the trade for that cute bundle of joy, though!) Having a baby along with all of the drying, straightening & curling through the years – boy oh boy has my hair been through the mill!
Great news, you CAN bring life back to your locks after damaging it with years of color and heat. I’m so thrilled to be teaming up with Pantene today to chat about a new product that JUST hit shelves. It’s a game changer on dry & damaged hair and now part of my weekly routine. Sharing more details below on how I get healthier & more voluminous locks at home and away with Pantene below!
I’ve been traveling at least once or twice a month this past year and after quite a bit of trial and error, I’ve discovered traveling is best when you can bring as many comforts of home along with you. My toiletry kit is packed to the gills with my favorite things and it makes such a difference.
I’ve been using Pantene’s Sheer Volume Shampoo & Conditioner for a few months now and it not only makes my locks feel silky smooth, but it detangles them almost instantly in the shower. This is a game changer when your hair tends to tangle easily. When Pantene approached me about trying their new Pantene Pro-V Intense Rescue Shots and sharing my thoughts with y’all, I jumped at the chance! After using this hair care brand for years & years, I couldn’t wait to try something new from the line.
Pantene Pro-V Intense Rescue Shots give you an excuse to continue to straighten, curl and blow dry away as you wish. Because this treatment totally works – reviving your damaged hair like it has never been exposed to heat. I honestly couldn’t believe how soft and silky my hair felt as soon as I tried it for the first time.
The Pantene Pro-V Intense Rescue Shots concentrated formula contains a deeply absorbing blend of Pro-Vitamin B5, strengthening lipids and natural glycerin that targets the damaged areas to give hair the flexibility and resilience it needs to endure styling and environmental stresses. The application is easy as pie, just simply massage the treatment from root to the ends after shampooing. After 30 seconds, you’re ready to rinse for another 30 seconds & go – it only takes 1 minute! The single-use Pantene Pro-V Intense Rescue Shots are perfect for traveling & life on-the-go!
Sharing my lovely locks after trying the treatment!!
Disclaimer, I am wearing my hair extensions and you can kindddd of see the difference where they start in the locks that are a bit more auburn in color. The number one notable difference I can REALLY see in my hair after using Pantene Pro V Intense Rescue Shots treatment is how shiny, voluminous and overall healthy it looks. I don’t think I’ve seen this much volume & shine from just blow drying & curling my hair in ages. I didn’t put any spray, mousse or volumizer in, just added the extensions at the bottom and ran my curling wand through. It’s amazing what healthier hair can do – seriously such a difference!
Now that I’m all ready for the day, it’s time to sit back, relax, sip on some coffee and read about all the different activities in the Danish-style town of Solvang where we’re staying this week.
Doesn’t this look like it belongs in Europe instead of California!?
Our hotel had bikes available out front for guests to hop on and explore the town by two wheels.
Shop the Look:
I can’t resist a ride on a bicycle! Bonus points if it has a basket filled with fresh flowers. Our plans for the rest of our time in Solvang was to pop in and out of boutiques, fill our bellies with pastries and sip on wine at the surrounding vineyards. Plans for a great day indeed! Better yet when a great day has a great hair day too!
Thank you so much to Pantene for sponsoring this post and giving me the opportunity to be one of the first to try the Pantene Pro-V Intense Rescue Shots. I’m in love with them! The Pantene Pro-V Intense Rescue Shots were imported from Brazil and just hit shelves in the US. You can get them now at CVS.com – see here!
As always, all opinions are my own. Thank you to you all for supporting the brands that make Lone Star Looking Glass possible.
