Sustainability.

Today is January 3rd, 2024. I personally do not believe in resolutions, & I won’t condemn anyone who wants to have a resolution. However, for me personally, I use this time of year to reflect on my values. One of my main values has always been sustainability.

Sustainability means; “the ability to be maintained at a certain rate or level.” My goal is to try & implement this in my everyday life. Whether that’s in the form of; being a Wife, Mother, or Hairstylist, or to go further Daughter, Sister, Friend, whatever the heck I am to you, I try to keep to this value.

First of all, I can’t be any of those titles without first being myself. I, Abigail Hart, with my very fitting last name have a huge heart. I love to care for others, make others smile, & inspire others. I have a lot of energy, energy I need to protect. I do so by staying active, going outside, spending time with my family, doing a multitude of hobbies like caring for animals, knitting, reading, & playing video games. Also, part of being me is accepting that I also need to take care of the vessel that loves to do all those things; my body. I have obstacles in my way that can keep me from doing what I love if I don’t take care of my body. So I also need time to rest, eat healthier, & remain in the present.

Then comes my most crucial roles, Wife & Mother. I am not that great at it at times. My huge heart is what I think keeps me in the running, but it takes practice. I have to remind myself to put my phone down, stop working, or scrolling, & be present. The majority of the time, it’s just showing up. However, keeping these in the forefront allows me to remain sustainable, & reminds me to say no to working late, not missing sporting events, & putting the phone down so time doesn’t pass me by.

Now as a Hairstylist, this shows up in SO many ways. What hours can I work that my body won’t give out on me? What products do I recommend that are great for the environment, myself, & my clients? What method of highlighting should I use so that my clients aren’t burdened by a constant 8-week cycle if they don’t want to? I ask myself this every day behind the chair. Sustainable beauty is achievable.

So what do you find at Untamed Hart? Sustainability at it’s core.
