There’s just something about having gorgeous locks that makes you look that much more put together. Not only does healthy-looking hair look beautiful, but it also gives you an overall look of wellbeing- and we all want that, right?! If your mane’s looking a bit dull and limps these days, don’t worry. There’s actually plenty of things you can do right now to turn that around. Here are a few tricks and tips to help you get healthy, shiny, and gorgeous-looking hair.
Turn down the heat!
You’ve probably heard this a million times: heat damages hair. It’s a simple fact that’s been known forever, yet we still rely heavily on our heat products to dry and style. If you can wash less, even just by one day, you’ll be doing your hair a favor. Turn to dry shampoo to extend your wash, add a chic hair accessory, or cover up dirty hair with a hat. If and when it’s time to use a heat product, protect your hair by using a heat protectant like Biosilk’s Silk Therapy Thermal Shield. It really does work!
Use a nourishing mask
You should be taking as much care of your hair as you do your face. Love face masks? Try a hair mask! Hair masks act in the same way a face mask does by adding a deep layer of moisture to condition your hair. We love Olaplex’s new No. 8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask that moisturizes, smooths, and adds body + shine. Use it once a week after shampooing and get ready to have the best hair of your life.
Turn to Aloe vera
Incorporating Aloe vera based hair care products into your routine is an all-natural way to get healthy hair. You know Aloe vera has healing benefits, and this also applies to haircare! Aloe vera based products moisturize, restore, and strengthen dull hair. Try Advanced Cosmetica’s Six Star Series Intense Hydration Shampoo for instant results.
Treat your body right
Just as with skincare, if you’re not eating the right foods or drinking enough water, your hair will show it. Fill your diet with plenty of hydrating fruits, nutrient-packed vegetables, and make sure you’re drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Water is the key to having hydrated skin and hair, and this is your sign to go refill your water bottle.
Add shine with a hair oil
If you think a hair oil will make your hair look greasy, think again. Use a lightweight hair oil like Ouai’s Rose Hair & Body Oil that will tame frizz, smooth strands, and add shine. Rub a dime size amount into your palms and run your fingers through your hair focusing on the ends. Stay away from the top of your hair to avoid that greasy look. Did we mention it smells like roses?
