Many of us are guilty of scrubbing our scalps and lathering our shampoo so much that our faces are hidden by the mountain of bubbles on top of our head. But did you know that although we are cleaning our hair, we are damaging it severely. Breakages and dry and brittle hair are a result of this. We should really try and wash our hair as little as possible to allow essential oils to work their magic. I myself used to be serial washer, scrubbing my hair everyday, but then I stopped and decided that I wanted my once luscious locks back!
I started by changing how I washed my hair. A little shampoo goes a long way! I would put a small amount on top of my hair and run my fingers through multiple times to a lather. From root to tip my hair was tangle free. I often suffered from tangles prior to using this technique. Then i would rinse my hair: continuing to run my fingers through it as to not create tangles, but to ensure there was no residue remaining.
Then for the conditioner, I was and still am guilty of using an obscene amount of conditioner. Anyway I would start by applying some to the tip of my hair. This helps protect against split end and add nourishment to the driest part of the hair. I would then add a little more to the mid-length of my hair. This ensures equal moisture and shine throughout the hair. Finally add a little to the roots. massage the roots (This helps promote growth) and then rinse. Ensure all residue is out of the hair; pat dry and then I suggest using a hair turban. A hair turban helps by taking out all the excess moisture before drying the hair with a dryer.
Tip: Always use a heat protection spray before using any hair stylers. I personally love Argan Oil Heat Defence Spray. It really
works wonders on your hair!
