What would you do with an extra 10 minutes every morning? Or 10 more minutes with every client? When faced with illness, health scares or major life milestones, it is common to question how we “wish” we had spent more of our personal time. But reevaluating, prioritizing and trying to find ways to spend more time doing what one believes really adds value to life (or to the experiences one creates) is a practice all could benefit from doing regularly and at any time.
This month’s Healthy Hairdresser Challenge is designed to help you do just that, and is sponsored generously by Kenra Professional and the Kenra Platinum Blow-Dry Collection.
Think about what you would do with an extra 10 minutes, whether in your morning routine, your time at the salon, or after working a long day. Try to choose something you believe will truly enhance your personal wellbeing—whether in body, spirit or business.
Then, go to modernsalon.com/healthy, follow the prompts to take the July Healthy Hairdresser Challenge and fill in the blank to share what you would do with 10 more minutes. The first 100 salon professionals to respond between July 1-31 will earn a free, full-size Kenra Platinum Blow-Dry Spray designed to reduce blow-dry time up to 50 percent while protecting, detangling and smoothing hair in a lightweight, humid-ity resistant formula. The second 100 respondents will get a 1.7-ounce mini size.
As part of the brand’s “Dry Less, Live More” campaign, here’s what a few clients told Kenra they would do with the time Kenra Blow-Dry Spray could save them:
“I’d take a calm minute to have my coffee before the school rush begins.”
"I would kiss my husband."
"Actually make and eat breakfast with the family."
"Go to the gym and still have time to style my hair for work!"
"Reflect on all the things I have to be grateful for."

“Dry Less, Live More!” For the July Challenge, Kenra is giving away 200 bottles of time-saving Blow-Dry Spray
