Stick with one system of shampoo and conditioner
While it may seem wise to pick a shampoo from one line, a conditioner from another, and a hair mask from another, getting the best of both worlds, it doesn’t necessarily work like that. Since products that are part of a hair care system are typically formulated to be used together, you’ll see the best results by doing just that. Save playing mix master for your makeup, and stick to using a system that suits your hair type.
Turn down the temp in the shower
Steaming showers are no doubt relaxing, but they aren’t what’s best for your hair. When you let the water get too hot, it can strip your hair of natural moisture, leaving you with dry hair. Next time you hop into the shower, dial the water down to lukewarm.
Wear your hair loose
Sporting hairstyles that are overly tight can put stress on your hair and your head, leading to breakage. They may seem like the easiest styles to get your hair up and out of your face, but don’t let that keep you from rocking a looser style.
Embrace your natural hair texture
Heat tools can result in some of our favourite styles, from perfect curls to super-straight strands, but they aren’t always kind to your hair. Reach for them too much, and you can risk damaging your hair. Instead of heat styling your hair all the time, embrace your natural texture with heat free products that encourage air drying. And for the days when you just can’t resist the lure of a heat tool, be sure to use a heat protectant.
