Haircare x accessibility

Having a disability comes with many challenges, and one of them is hair care. If you never see me “done up”, this is why: the space could be inaccessible, arranging transportation might not be possible, salon prices are way out of budget, etc; this is why I often end up compromising on my appearance and opting for a low maintenance lifestyle—not because I want to but bc I have to. There are so many things to consider before we can get our hair done. 

Due to these barriers, I get a haircut/colour once a year. Inaccessibility tells me that disability and beauty can’t coexist. We shouldn’t have to sacrifice self-expression and self-care when we already have to do that in many other areas of our life, but with companies like Suntouched, we don’t have to!

I teamed up with Suntouched because I saw an opportunity for our chronically ill/disabled community to enjoy an accessible product. As someone who likes to lighten their hair, this product worked as a great salon substitute; it’s affordable and I can do it in the comfort of my own home. The spray nozzle was surprisingly easier to press down than most bottles, and it’s vegan, cruelty-free, and safe for all hair types! I wanted something subtle so I’ve only used it on 4 occasions, but you can go lighter until you reach your desired colour.
