A woman’s hair is her crown, her pride, and her joy as it is one of the things that show her personality. That’s why her hairstyle is one of the most important things to consider. People with shorter hair have less to worry about as maintaining it requires less product and fewer visits to the salon. As for the long-hair-toting ladies, we have a lot going on.
Luckily, hair care is not as extreme as most people might have you believe. With a few simple steps, you’ll have your crown healthy and shining. Here are some tips and tricks to get you started.
Get a Scalp Massage
Dealing with dry hair can be frustrating especially when the hair won’t take in the product. If you’re facing this predicament, we highly recommend you try treating your scalp. You need some good old oil and some nifty fingers. Massaging oil into your scalp hits the roots and will help spread the product more. On the upside, you get an amazing massage as well.
Add Some Oil to Your Hair
Moisturizing hair is an important part of hair care and many people opt for expensive products to handle this process. That’s fair but what if you’re on a budget? That’s where trusty oil comes in. Twice a week we recommend applying some oil to your hair and running it through the ends. Once you’re done, leave it in for some time before blow drying to trap the moisture.
Condition Your Hair Regularly
Using shampoo and conditioner is a given for anyone with hair. These products are the fundamentals of ensuring your hair is clean and soft with that sheen we all strive for. However, this process doesn’t stop there. For better results, we advise you to take on some leave-in conditioner. It’s a surprise many people don’t know this nifty tool and its effects. Leave-in conditioner ensures the hair maintains its structure throughout the day and is easier to comb. Moreover, it prevents tangles and knots making the combing process bearable.
Watch Where You Sleep
After applying all the good stuff into your head, it’s important to ensure the product and its effects last as long as possible. One way to manage this is by changing your pillow covers. It’s time to ditch those cotton covers for some silk. Silk is amazing for hair as it’s not as abrasive and it’s a breathable material reducing sweating. On the other hand, thanks to silks’ soft nature, tangles and knots will reduce meaning your night routine work won’t go to waste.
Rinse Your Mane Thoroughly
After covering all the basics, there’s one avenue we cannot overlook and that is how you clean your hair. Shampoo can only get most of the work done but at some point, product build-up will be a problem. That’s why we suggest you rinse your hair with apple cider vinegar after a while to help give your hair the necessary bounce required to shine. This should also give room for the new product to take effect.
Brush Your Hair Regularly
Speaking of tangles and knots, it’s recommended that you brush your hair daily. Run your comb/ brush from the roots to the end for maximum effect. Do this several times to remove dead ends, tangles, and knots. If it’s at night, wrap your head in a silk dressing or bonnet to preserve your handiwork.
These are just a few hair care tips that should come in clutch when you need to take care of your hair. We have been keen to ensure they are as affordable as possible so anyone can match them. If you follow at least three of the steps, you are guaranteed some improvement in your hair health.
