2) The healthier your diet the thicker, shinier and healthier your hair. And do drink lots of water also to banish dryness and promote natural sheen.
3) Finish with a cool-to-cold rinse to help seal the hair cuticle and convey natural shine, and always towel dry hair before conditioning otherwise you could be diluting the conditioner by up to 70%.
4) Blow-drying, styling, straightening – who knows where our style would be without our favourite tools? But much as we love them, the heat generated from these much-used appliances can penetrate the cuticle and leave hair dry, damaged and dull. Praise be to the heat-protection product!
5) Nourish, nourish, NOURISH! We just can’t stress it enough. Treat your tresses to a deep conditioning mask once a week – and throw the rule book out the window! Many masks will tell you to leave the product on for around 10-15 minutes, but anything under 30 minutes is usually pointless. And once you’re fully coated in your conditioning mask, wrap your hair tightly in cling-film to seal in the heat; this will activate the mask’s healing properties.
6) If you want healthy, split-free hair, be sure to book in for regular trims. Fine hair should be cut every six weeks, whilst thick hair needs a trim every eight. Leave it any longer and those split ends could move up the hair shaft, which means the difference between a trim and losing a couple of inches. It’s your call.
