Inside a Saturday Hair Day at Abuela’s House
There’s a particular kind of magic that happens on a Saturday morning at abuela’s house. It starts with cafecito brewing in the kitchen, a telenovela humming in the background, and the distinct snap of the comb making its way through your hair.
Taking care of our hair isn’t just a beauty ritual; it’s a rite of passage that brings family and tradition together. Plus, the bonus of a masterclass in hair color and care passed down from generation to generation. Every curl detangled, every braid laid, and the best way to apply hair dye. All with love, patience, and a little sass if you complain too much.
Abuela’s sala is the OG hair salon
Even before our moms, abuelas were our first hair stylists. They braided our hair with care, knew the right products for the many textures of Latina hair, and now, in our adult age, they even retouch our canas for us. But before any product touches a strand, their house transforms into a hair salon.
The couch becomes the waiting area, while a dining room table (or a plastic chair from outside) turns into the stylist’s throne. We all know abuela is the CEO of our lives, so with her apron on and a color brush she’s had since the ’60s in hand, she’ll remind you to sit down, sit still, and let her work her magic.
Tías and primas gather, hair clips get passed down, and soon there’s a family conference about what WELLA COLORCHARM Shineluxe Top Coat Hair Gloss suits you best. Yes, this is a full-on family experience. And you better stay for lunch.
Hair techniques where old school meets new
During abuela’s time, she didn’t always have the right products at her fingertips, but while she may still keep her hair kit in a repurposed cookie tin, she’s got skills. From your mom’s thick natural curls to your tía’s super straight blowout, she knows how to handle it all. But now, the next generation is bringing abuela her next favorite product: WELLA COLORCHARM ShineLuxe Top Coat Hair Gloss.
It’s the perfect bridge between tradition and innovation. While abuela swears by coconut oil and her trusty boar bristle brush, her granddaughters are showing up with vibrant color shades, easy-to-use home kits, and hair gloss that bring shine for days. You’ll get her seal of approval, for sure.
More than just hair: lessons
Hair day isn’t just about the hair; it’s where all the stories come out. Between the hair dying and deep conditioning, abuela is dishing all the wisdom. She’s sharing stories about how she did the hair for your mamá’s quinceañera, family curses, and that time she dyed her hair with coffee because she couldn’t afford a tinte.
These Saturdays are more than just glow-ups; they’re legacy-building moments. You learn that beauty isn’t about perfection, but care. Abuela knows that shiny hair brings you the confidence you need to go out into the world and take over, Latina style.
