Hair Care Tippers

Hey Internet,

On this wonderful march evening, I have a few hair care tips that can boost your shine and softness. Just a note, some of these suggestions might not work for your hair, so experiment and see what works best!

FOR DRY HAIR THAT NEEDS A BOOST
When I highlighted my hair, it absolutely drained all moisture from it. My hair was always frizzy and would knot constantly. Here is a few tips that I used to help get some life back into it.

Always, Always Condition!

If you are like me and have super oily hair, then usually you might just put conditioner into the lengths of your hair, or be super naughty and not condition at all. That's a crime! Conditioning, or something similar, is extremely important, especially if you have used some sort of dye or bleach in it. Every time you wash your hair, make sure you put conditioner through it and leave it for a while. I tend to shave my legs while I leave it in, giving it some time to soak in before I wash it out. When I highlighted my hair, I put a tiny amount into my roots as well. If you are someone with dry hair, then you don't have to worry to much about putting too much in, but for people with oily hair be careful you don't put too much in and make sure you properly rinse it out. If your hair is breaking and super duper dry, once you have got out of the shower and towel dried your hair, put a little conditioner in, or a special leave in conditioner, and leave it in until you wash your hair next. Deep conditioning treatments are a great step too, and I tend to do that about once a week, twice if my hair needs it. Plus, don't wash your hair everyday, first of all it dries it out by stripping all the nutrients and natural oils, but it will also make your hair greasier quicker.

COCO-LOCO 
A great deep conditioning natural product is coconut oil. This stuff smells amazing and is super great for your hair. I dampen my hair, put a whole load of oil into it, and leave it for a good 30-40 minutes. When the time is up, shampoo your hair really well, because if you don't do it properly your hair will be super greasy and not looking hot. However, if you are having a lounge around day, I find that I don't completely rinse the oil out, leave it all day, then clean it later, it thanks me for just that little boost. But be careful! If your hair doesn't desperately need it, it can make your hair look greasy for a few days. If you can't get a hold of coconut oil, which you can usually find at your supermarket, then olive oil is a great substitute. 

USE A SHOWER COMB

Brushing your hair while it's wet is actually breaking and damaging it! Instead of brushing it after you get out of the shower, get yourself a shower comb, and use it while you have conditioner in your hair. It will be thankful for not being pulled and snagged, and if your hair is a little knotty after you dry it, use the shower comb again. 


LESS HEAT EQUALS SMOOTH AND SLEEK

Using a hair dryer, straightener, curling iron or anything that is hot, is killing your hair! If you straighten everyday or blow dry each time you wash your hair, I challenge you to go two weeks without it, and your hair will start to feel a lot less dry and a lot more nourished. Using hot tools once in a while is ay-oh-kay, but try to use a heat protectant, they do actually work. 

OILY COILY

Each time you finish your hair, put a smoothing oil or balm through it, it will give it a little boost and make it less frizzy and more shiny. I like to put it all through my hands, and coil my hair around my hand, hence the title. Of course, this isn't something vital, but it does make your hair look healthier while you are in the transition stage between Bellatrix La Strange and Eva Longoria. 





Hope that helps!
