There is one way that you can show your hair who’s the boss and gain back control – and that’s through a proper hair care routine.
You don’t have to completely overhaul your current hair care routine and buy all new hair products. But there are certain simple tips and tricks that you can follow that can bring about a massive improvement in your hair in just a few days.
Tips For Washing Your Hair
There are actually a few things you could be doing wrong in the shower that is stopping your hair from looking its best. Let’s look at some tips you can try out:
Oil your hair: Oiling your hair before washing it is probably the best thing you can do for your mane. Massage some coconut oil, olive oil, or almond oil onto your hair and scalp an hour before getting into the shower to pre-condition it. Use lukewarm or cool water: Hot water can damage your hair in the same way that the heat from heat styling tools does – by dehydrating your hair and causing split ends. Always wash your hair with either lukewarm or cool water to close the hair cuticles and retain the moisture in it.
Dilute the shampoo: We’re all prone to using 2-3 pumps of shampoo when washing our hair. But the harsh truth is that shampoo strips your hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry. To prevent that from happening, dilute 1-2 pumps of shampoo in half a mug of water and then use that to wash your hair.
Gently massage: Don’t rub your head harshly when shampooing it. Instead, gently massage your scalp and hair with your fingers in small, circular motions while shampooing it to prevent excessive tangling and damage.
