Not everyday DIY
Happy new year
Hope christmas and new years celebrations have been enjoyable and a fun time with family.
I am the biggest DIY advocate ever. In the era of YouTube and Google, what do you need a professional for? I have used YouTube for a number of things most especially related to hair. That includes styling, reviews, tutorials and a host of other things.
That was until I went for a professional hair consultation. I learnt so much in the few hours I was with the hair consultant I saw. Although she told me a number of things I already knew, because I saw her, she could actually look at my hair and assess it in a way I just couldn’t have done alone.
This I guess may not be applicable to everyone as some people are more hands on than others but we can’t be experts in everything. It’s impossible to be equally good at everything. The focus, time and practice it will take to be a pro in one particular area cannot be replicated for all other areas. It’s actually impossible 🙄. Why not then go to see someone who has the expertise in the area you are not so strong. Remember the saying “jack of all trades, master of none”. That being said I am still a DIY diehard, but I’m not afraid to ask for help.
Until next time

Great advice here and I agree 100% 🙂 – As a diehard DIYer you must know your limits and be realistic!
It can even end up impacting negatively. Thanks for reading 😊
You know it, in my case (prior to gaining experience) it will cost you twice what it could have! 🙂
