Hair Care Routine in Six Easy Steps


Step #1: Brush Your Hair :
It may seem like the obvious thing to do, but maybe what you Didn't know is that brushing keeps your hair tangle free and distributes its natural oils throughout the hair. This promotes healthy growth and shine
Step #2: Wash Your Hair :
 To know what type your hair  is :
  • Your hair is coarse/dry if it often feels brittle- this means you only need to wash it every second or third day.
  • Your
  •  hair is fine/oily if it feels greasy the day after you wash it- this means you need to wash it daily.
  • Your hair is normal if you wash it one day and it's not too greasy the next- this means you can get away with washing it every other day.
Shampoo Tips
  • Remember to shampoo in small, circular movements; don't forget to target dirt collecting areas such as the nape of your neck.
  • Massaging your scalp will increase blood flow which encourages growth and will stimulate your hair's natural oils (producing shiny locks).
  • Coarse/dry hair will benefit from hydrating shampoos.
  • Fine/oily hair should be washed with a clear shampoo (one that doesn't look creamy).
  • Normal hair can use just about any type of shampoo- just remember to always use good quality products for the best results
Conditioner Tips
o    Similar to body lotion for your skin, conditioner is moisturizer for your hair and will keep your strands hydrated and manageable.
o    For an even application use your hands and a wide-toothed comb.
o    If you've got coarse/dry hair try a hydrating conditioner and apply it right from your roots to your ends.
o    For fine/oily hair use a lightweight conditioner and avoid putting it on your roots (evenly distribute it from the mid-lengths to the ends).
o    For normal hair you can use just about any kind of conditioner, applied from your roots to your ends also.
Step #3: Apply Hair Styling Products : 
If you have a hairstyle that needs to use hair products- hairspray for hold, wax for hold and shine, or serum for shine and to maintain fly-away pieces- then don't use too much! You might end up weighing your hair down and reducing its volume, or just making it greasy and dirty.

REMEMBER "less is more"
Also, don't forget to protect your hair. If you style your hair with a hair straightener or blow-dryer, it's very important to protect your hair with heat protecting products, and to give your hair a break every few days from the stress of using hair accessories and hairstyling tools  .
Step #4: Style Your Hair.
Step #5: Brush Your Hair Again at Night:
Brushing your hair again at night will help you to untangle any knots that made their way into your locks during the day.
Step #6: Secure Your Hair at Night :
Securing your hair at night with a simple ponytail will make sure your locks don't get snagged or tangled as you sleep.
There you have it, a simple daily routine (and some great hair care tips). It's not hard to follow, it won't have you spending all of your hard earned cash, and most importantly, it will get your hair in the best condition possible.
