10 Hair Care Tips

I am always looking for new ways to take care of my hair. I have very long hair and I try to take really good care of it, I’ve compiled a list of ten things I do to take care of my hair.

• Silk/Satin pillow cases – Using silk/satin pillow cases prevent damage. Not only are they better for your hair, they are good for your skin too!
• Large tooth comb – If you need to brush your hair when wet, you should do it with a large tooth comb. A brush will pull and drag down your hair causing damage.
• Use as little heat as possible – If you can let your hair air dry, do it! Even though it won’t prevent all damage, always use a heat protectant!!
• Comb your hair in the shower – After putting in your conditioner, use a large tooth comb to comb your hair.
• Protect your hair while you sleep – I always sleep with braids in my hair, and before putting in a braid I rub some argan oil through my hair.
• Use a Leave-In Conditioner
• Condition the length of your hair only, you don’t need conditioner on your roots!
• Squeeze water out, don’t rub a towel on your hair. Rubbing a towel on your head is rough and causes damage.
• Never use a straightener or curling iron on wet hair!
• Try not to over wash your hair, if you need to you can use dry shampoo on days you don’t wash your hair.
