Are you washing your beautiful hair the wrong way and causing damage without actually knowing it?
Follow these 5 simple steps to a picture perfect hair to become a beautiful woman:
Untangle
Comb the tangles out of your beautiful hair before you wet it so the hair would wash easily and the tangles would not worsen.
Wet
Wet your beautiful hair with warm water to open the scale-like cuticles of the hair and wash all the oil and dirt off. And then, you can rinse your hair with cold water afterwards to close the cuticles, adding to the shine of your beautiful hair.
Shampoo
Apply shampoo on your scalp and not at the ends of your beautiful hair, as the shampoo would dry your hair’s ends and cause it to weaken and split. Also, do not mix your beautiful hair all over your head as you shampoo because it will get all tangled up.
Shampoo, again?
Yes! We need to shampoo our beautiful hair for a second time to allow it to treat our hair i.e. to do what the packaging promises! The first round is only to remove the oil and dirt off. Let the shampoo sit on for around a couple of minutes this time. Rinse thoroughly thereafter.
Condition and Rinse
After shampoo and rinse, apply conditioner along the hairline, all the way towards the ends of your beautiful hair. Allow the conditioner to stay on for around ten minutes. Then, rinse it off completely and dry your beautiful hair.
Air Dry vs Blow Dry
The main two ways about it, air or blow, pretty much depends on the occasion, time you have and personal preference. For optimum styling and keeping up with the latest saloon look, blow-drying is it. For easy going natural locks & keeping it healthy, the best option is to air dry. Try to alternate and balance both options. Whatever your choice whilst keeping your beautiful hair health in mind, do know that there are no two ways about it, hair is fragile, handle with care!
Air Dry
This practice option is most suitable for those who have short and low-maintenance beautiful hairstyles, or with curly hair. Non exposure to excessive heat usually used in blow drying, makes this a less damaging choice.
How to, correctly:
The very first thing that comes to mind is vigorously rubbing your beautiful hair dry with a towel isn’t it? A total no-no, big mistake! The human hair is at its weakest when it is wet. The friction caused by rubbing, pulling or tugging will make your beautiful hair brittle and eventually break. Instead, gently wipe and blot the moisture out of your beautiful hair with the towel and thereafter fluff it softly with your fingers.
Blow Dry
Though the most convenient and quickest way of drying one’s hair, it is also fast damaging and dangerous, especially if overdone. Drying using a blower does add volume to the hair but inasmuch it can also make a woman’s beautiful hair very brittle.
How to, correctly:
Ensure your beautiful hair is not soaking wet (blot the water out with a towel) before blow drying. Never keep the dryer too close to your head (hold it at about a short ruler’s length away, i.e. 15cm) and move the dryer constantly around your head. Try not to dry your beautiful hair completely with the blow dryer. Stop while the hair is still slightly damp.
