So buckle up and get ready for some hair-raising facts.
WASHING YOUR HAIR
"Wash it Like You Mean it, but Not Like a Tornado": you're in the shower, singing your heart out, and you think it's the perfect time to create a mini tornado with your hair. Well, slow down there, tiger! While washing your hair is crucial for cleanliness, you don't need to go full-on twister mode. Be gentle with your locks, use a good quality shampoo, and massage your scalp with looove. Save enthusiasm for the dance floor!
If you’re the type who cannot live without your hot showers, it’s a good idea to use a shower cap. Very hot water can leave your hair looking limp and dull, and for the final rinse after applying conditioner, it’s best to use cooler water.
2. BRUSHING YOUR HAIR
Detangling without the Drama.
First things first, choose a brush that won't wage war on your strands—no weapons of mass destruction, please! Start from the ends and work your way up, gently untangling any knots. Remember, your hair is not a jungle; it's a delicate ecosystem that needs your tender touch. Stay away from skinny combs. It’s also important to never use a slender comb on wet hair as it will rip your hair apart even if it’s the smallest of knots. Use a thick brush or wide-toothed comb instead. We sell great brushes in our salon that won't break the bank or your hair.
3. EAT YOUR HAIR HEALTHY
Please don't come for me, but it is true, you are what you eat, and your hair is no exception. Healthy hair starts from within, so indulge in a balanced diet packed with nutrient-rich goodies. Most people recommend a diet rich in iron, zinc, omega-3 fatty acids, and protein. Foods like lean red meat, chicken, fish, eggs, spinach are super useful for hair growth. They help stimulate the hair follicles to grow. Taking vitamin and mineral supplements is also a good idea as they make your hair look thick and healthy. We stock supplements in our salon from HMT for this. Stay Hydrated, Because Your Hair Needs a Drink Too so Raise your glasses, folks, and cheers to hydrated hair! Not only will it do wonders for your overall health, but your hair will also thank you with a bouncy, vibrant look. H2O is your friend.
4. AVOID EXCESSIVE HEAT
Pamper it with nourishing treatments. Avoid excessive heat styling, harsh chemicals, and too many hair products. Keep the drama to a minimum, and your hair will reward you with its natural, show-stopping beauty. The best way to make sure your hair looks fabulous and fly every single day is to find products that work for you and stick to them. A good shampoo and conditioner can make your hair look flawless. If it is absolutely necessary that you straighten / curl your hair, it’s essential to apply a heat protector. A real miracle worker is the Miracle Creator by Matrix.
5. A TRIM A DAY KEEPS THE BAD HAIR AWAY
Okay, maybe not every day, but you get the point! By snipping away the damaged ends, you're promoting overall hair health and vitality.
Think of your hairdresser as the Split End Slayer, armed with scissors.
Regular trims can actually stimulate hair growth. By snipping off those split ends, you prevent them from traveling up the hair shaft and causing damage.
Happy trimming!
