As stated in yesterday’s post, today’s will be a continuation of our discussing pertaining to proper hair care.
It is significant to note that different hair types require different approaches in terms of taking the best care of it possible. If you’re un sure what sort of hair you have, feel free to ask a hairdresser. I just asked my own a few months ago, and she told me I have fine hair, and a lot of it, so while my hair might look thick from a distance, it really isn’t. There’s just a lot there.
Hair is a relatively universal experience with a handful of exceptions, so I’m hoping this information is proximate to anyone who reads it. Again, this information comes from evalectric.com.
“Don’t: Apply Conditioner to Your Roots
“While shampoos are formulated to thoroughly cleanse the roots, conditioners are designed to be used on the ends of the hair. Unfortunately, many people make the mistake of applying a conditioner to their roots and scalp. This leaves the hair feeling heavy and greasy. Product buildup will also occur much faster, giving your mane a flat and lifeless finish. As a result, you’ll likely need to wash your hair more often than you should, which then leads to even more problems!
“Do: Add a Weekly Hair Mask to Your Hair Care Routine
“Conditioners are great for leaving the hair feeling replenished and restored. However, if your locks could do with some extra attention, then adding a hair mask to your hair care routine would be a good idea. What’s the difference between a hair mask and a conditioner? While the two do have a few similarities, a hair mask is basically an intensified version of a regular conditioner. It will contain a higher concentration of hair-loving ingredients. This is why hair masks are usually thicker and richer than conditioners. This is also why they shouldn’t be used as often as a conditioner, as they could end up weighing your hair down.
“Don’t: Use Too Much Heat When Styling Your Hair
“If you tend to crank your heated styling tools up to their hottest temperature before you begin straightening or curling your hair, it’s time to make a change. Excessive heat can cause so much damage to your precious locks. Plus, unless your hair is extremely coarse or thick, then you probably don’t even need to be using that much heat in the first place,” the web page explains.
Tomorrow we will continue with our third and final post on this topic.
