5 Tips for Healthier Hair...
One thing we usually forget to do when brushing our hair is to actually brush it from root to tip! The reason is because the oils your scalp produces is what keeps your hair healthy, and if your ends are weak, it's because it is lacking oil.
This can be hard especially if you have naturally curly hair, like we do, but if you brush it before bed when no one is around (or even before the shower), your hair will surely thank you!
Next is using oil on your ends, like we said in step one, your scalp naturally produces oil, but if you don't brush your hair properly or enough, this is where oil comes in handy! For us, it is really hard to brush our hair every like we are supposed to as a great substitute we use oil to give our ends the little extra love they need!
Deep Conditioner is AMAZING, and this little packet is literally only TWO DOLLARS!! (how can you beat that?!) If you use heat on your hair or even just blow dry on a regular basis, your hair gets pretty beat up. Just like you would pamper your skin with scrubs or lotion to exfoliate and rejuvenate your skin, deep conditioner allows your hair to absorb nutrients it might be lacking. PLUS, it makes your hair smell delicious and feel so soft, so it is a win all around!
Trims are something everyone believe we need on a semi-regular basis, but the truth is you actually don't! Your hair does not need to be trimmed every 6 weeks like we might think, it needs to grow and with the help of the first few tips, you will start to realize your ends are not as bad as you think!
(keep the extra 20-70 dollars your trims cost and save it for more of once a year or twice a year cuts!)
Heat is the number one ruiner to hair and we KNOW how crucial it seems to be in our daily lives, even if it is just a little bit here and there. But try to embrace your natural hair and reduce your heat use to maybe once or twice a week instead of EVERYDAY.
If you can't stay away from the heat, at least use a protectant spray to coat your hair before you apply heat to it. Not only do the sprays smell good, but they will save your hair a boat-load of damage in the long run!!!
