Great Hair Everyday Great hair EVERY DAY. Impossible? Not Anymore!
Ladies, we all know it. We either wake up and our hair is a mess, smells like products from last night and is all knotted up and crazy. UGH! You get tired of it right?! Because I used to, too!
Do you want hair that's great all the time? Well, with some care you can have the hair you want all the time.
First off, make sure you have your hair clean. The simple shampoo and conditioner will do, but which ones? Pantene makes the best, in my opinion, shampoo and conditioner. I use Breakage to Strength Shampoo/Conditioner by Pantene and I must say this has helped A LOT.
I color my hair constantly and that calls for bleach, cold wash, blow dryer and more bleach. Your hair can only take so much until it needs outside help. This stuff helps out your hair a lot. They have a whole line of special shampoos for all different hair types and their solutions cr?me works especially well.
Now that you have your hair washed, you can begin step two, which is letting you hair dry naturally. Towel drying counts as natural, but don't pull and rub. Gently flip your head down and dry your hair with the towel. When your hair is wet, it's more likely to break off/fall out. The rules of warm water to a paint brush apply to your scalp. Too much heat and it can fall out or become weak. You need all your hair!
Near the end of your hair drying, put the blow dryer on it. Remember to brush while you blow dry. It's separating the hairs and letting more air get to places it needs to get to. Soon after this step is done, and it will take some time, get all your straightening products ready and go at it.
If your hair still has steam/smoke coming off it, GO BACK and blow dry it again. Take time with it, don?t rush anything. After everything is all straight and nice, or left natural, check your hair out.
If your hair does what mine does, it's poofy. If it isn?t totally flat the way you need it to be, here's a trick.
Take some baby lotion or any scented lotion and put a small amount in your hands. Rub it through your hair, starting at the bottom then kind of working your way to the top.
If you don't want to use lotion, use Aussie "Hair Insurance Collection: A policy of protection for worry-free hair" It's a leave in conditioner spray. It makes your hair so soft and smell like coconuts. Make sure you brush it through with the brush.
Your hair is the most important part of your image and I'm here to help and protect it. Now, after everything is said and done make sure your hair looks okay. When you go to bed that night, wear your hair in a low side ponytail. This helps so your hair doesn?t get too tangled as you sleep.
When you wake up the next morning, your hair will still be kind of poofy and might look crazy, but rest assured! Brush your hair; starting at the bottom first, then working your way up. Do not start just right at the top. Your hair will still get some tangles, but the side ponytails/pigtails/braids helps it to tangle less.
Hold your hair firmly and brush, not too hard, but enough to get the job done. After your hair is brushed, go straighten it. Using too many gels and sprays can cause irritation to your scalp and cause dandruff and such. Just remember girls, you do not have to wash our hair all the time. We can skip a wash or two as too many washes means the scalp could be drying out.
If you keep these steps up, your hair will always look fine. And if you ever have one of those extremely bad hair days, stay calm. There is always something out there for you.
