11 hair care tips
Obviously we all have different kinds of hair. I have naturally wavy hair, but the waves are so small I usually brush it after a shower, let it air dry, and it will appear mostly straight. Here are 11 things I have been doing in my hair care routine recently:
Not using any heat
I have used heat on my hair this year less times than I can count on my fingers. Really been trying to avoid the heat, and I would say it’s helping my hair’s overall appearance. Sock curls and heatless curls are a lifesaver.
Castor oil
The night before I wash my hair (I wash it in the morning) I will put castor oil through it. Castor oil is great for helping hair grow—I have definitely noticed mine growing faster since starting this. Plus, any kind of oil is going to do wonders for your hair.
Rosemary oil
Rolling my eyes at this TikTok trend lol but rosemary oil is great for your scalp health. Again, I’ll put it in the night before I wash my hair.
End care
Put everything on your ends. Bond repair, leave-in, oil at the right time. Ideally, put something on your hair’s ends morning and night.
Trims
I just trim mine at every hair color appointment.
Silk pillowcases
Good for your hair and skin!
Washing frequency
I currently wash my hair every 4 days (I will let 3 full days pass between washes).
Products
If you have color-treated hair, make sure you use a shampoo and conditioner that is safe for it. I like to save money but still use the best products so for me Love Beauty and Planet has the best shampoo and conditioner for color treated hair, plus it smells great.
Let you hair naturally dry
If possible, let your hair air dry as much as it can. It’s going to be so much better for it.
Avoid hair when it’s wet
Wet hair is the most fragile hair. Be super careful with your hair when it’s wet. As for a beachgoer like me, this is a tricky one, but bringing a leave-in to put through it while brushing it out helps.
Bond Repair Product
I love Aussie Hair Repairer with Aloe Vera as a hair serum/bond repair. It’s the best product you can find at the cheapest price. And an excuse to go on a target run ;)
