Since it's august, I think its the perfect time to repair the summer damage. Summer is the worst time for hair, because of the humidity, heat, lighter dyes/ombres and styling products/irons. I think all those Bombshell waves, flirty curls and shinny sleek straight will take a toll on your hair. Since Fall is just around the corner, It's better to start repairing your hair NOW!
- Go in for a trim
This is the most important step to take, if you want healthy hair. I always notice my hair feels a lot better when I get a cut. This will rid you of those pesky split ends, and add healthy shine.
- If the hairstylist recommends that you cut your hair a bit more than you wanted, it's better to just cut it then and there, then to come back and re cut the split ends again, which is the same thing.
- Dye your hair darker
Although an optional step, it's really for the best to go a bit darker for the fall/winter months!
- Opt for semi-permanent dyes, which are healthier for you in the long run. Also it would leave a PERMANENT color on your hair, which means you can afford to change it up a few times without ripping your hair follicles
- Instead of redying your hair for vibrancy, try a gloss treatment, for instant shine.
- Skip the full head dye, and go for the root touch ups!
- Treatments at the Salon
you need to save up a bit, and go in for a hot oil treatment to bring moisture and life back into your hair, your hair will LOVE the pampering and so will you. - At Home Treatments
I hate it that people go out and spend $$$ on all these products that don't really do much. Everything you need is already in your fridge, so stop wasting your money. You should AIM to fix your hair naturally not chemically.
- Mix one or two eggs depending on your hair length and thickness, and add as much olive/coconut/almond oil to the mixture as you like and about 1-3 tablespoons of Mayo (I know this sounds gross but trust me) mix the ingredients really well and apply it to your hair. Cover hair with a shower cap, and periodically blow dry your head and put the cap on. Wash your hair after a minimum of 3 hours of applying. the longer you keep it, the better it is. - Scalp Massage
Scalp massage is great for blood flow, so keep running your fingers through your hair! - Eat Nutritious and Drink Liters and take your Vitamins
As it says, nothing can fix your hair but you! The healthier you eat the better! - Avoid Hairsprays and Mousse
- Try to straighten your hair once a week or twice a week
- Use a good heat protector
- Blow dry your hair instead of straightening
- Blow Dry your hair, when it's 75% dry
- Towel dry/ Air Dry
- Shower at night, and air dry, and then style in the morning for easy style rather than going over the same strand
- Get a silk pillow to avoid breakage
- Dont brush wet hair
- use a detangler on hair instead of brushing it out like a champ
