2. Embrace Dry Shampoo
Washing your hair more than necessary will cause unwanted frizz and breakage so stock up dry shampoo! Make sure you are using it in the right way though, by applying it at the roots then blasting your hair with a hair dryer - don't rub the product into the hair, this is a big hair faux pas!
3. Diet Is Key
Hair is actually a protein and if you don't eat enough of it, (protien not hair) you are on the highway to hair loss. If you feel like you are not getting enough protein in your diet you can up it by eating more red meat, soya, oily fish and green leafy vegetables.
4. We're In Love With The Coco...
Coconut oil is not just great for cooking it is also the new magic elixir of hair care! With no harsh chemicals coconut oil is excellent for moisturizing dry, damaged hair - preventing hair breakage and ugly split ends.
5. Heat Is Not Your Friend
Using heat styling appliances such as curling irons, tongs and wands might give us a nice curl for a few hours but the long-term damage is what we really have to look at. You can style your hair without using heat with little treasures such as: Curling head bands, no heat foam curlers (remember those?!) and curling rags. You can even plait or braid your hair when wet or damp to get a natural looking beach wave.
6. Use The Right Products
Using the right products is essentials for hair growth and strength, stay away from nasty chemicals which can damage your hair. Ugly stuff found in everyday products to avoid are Silicones, Isopropyl Alcohol, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Synthetic Fragrance. Look up any of the ingredients found on the back of shampoo bottles which you are unsure of and try to choose natural haircare products when possible.
7. Your Salon Is The Promise Land
Making regular trips every 6- 8 weeks to your local hair salon is a must. You need to rid of those pesky dead ends in order to get that smooth, sleek look you dream of! If you are wanting to grow your hair you can wait up to 12 weeks for a trim, just make sure you nourish your hair to prevent it from drying out and looking drab.
8. Maintenance Probs
Maintaining the up keep of your gorgeous mane can be hard work, but you have to put the effort in to see the results gals! We recommend you use a conditioning treatment or hair mask once a week. Choose a treatment which is gentle to hair and promotes hair health, growth and strength (keeping an eye out for those nasties we mentioned earlier!)
