There is nothing like a messy, mangy mane to ruin your put together image, so it’s important that you spend time taming your tresses. Mane maintenance doesn’t have to be difficult, just follow these simple tips and tricks to get a gorgeous head of hair.
Determine your hair type
In order to pick the right products to keep your hair in tip- top shape, you need to figure out your hair’s needs. Oily, dry, and normal hair, all need different products so keep this in mind when you shop.
Oily: Look for shampoos that clean thoroughly but are still gentle; ingredients like peppermint and sage are good choices. A clear shampoo will have much more degreasing power than a thick, creamy one, and volumizing formulas will help lift limp, fine hair at the roots. Try using light conditioners that won’t weigh down your hair and use on the ends only.
Dry: Dry hair needs gentle care, so look for shampoos that are thick and moisturizing. Conditioning is crucial, so get a formula that is specially made for dry hair. Tip: after shampooing, work conditioner through the hair concentrating on the ends and leave on in the shower while you soap up. This will allow the conditioning benefits to soften your hair, leaving it silky soft.
Color treated: Colored hair needs special attention, so look for formulas that are designed for colored hair – these will help your color last longer and won’t dry out your locks.
Moisture, moisture, moisture
Regardless of hair type your hair still needs moisture to remain healthy and soft. Once a week indulge in a deep conditioning treatment; slather it on and wrap hair in a fluffy towel. The heat created will help the conditioner penetrate your hair. If your hair is fine or oily, try conditioning your hair before you shampoo to avoid product overload. Look for products that contain humectants; these are ingredients that attract moisture.
Protein Boost
Protein is crucial for maintaining your hair’s strength, so look for products that contain amino acids. A few times a week, try swapping out your regular shampoo and conditioner for one with protein - this will improve your hair’s elasticity and help prevent breakage.
Keep Color Vibrant
The main concern with color treated hair is loss of color and vibrancy. A good regime of gentle shampoos and moisturizing conditioners will help hair remain bright. Invest in a shampoo that deposits color pigments; use this to boost your color a few times a week.
De-gunk
Product build up can make your color dull, weigh down your strands, and leave your hair looking lackluster. Deep cleaning shampoos will help remove all the excess and leave your hair squeaky clean. Use one at least once a month.
