Some people are rather pedantic about their hair. They must always wash, heat, and style their hair stunningly, taking any means to attain it. Trust me, it takes one to know one. So for all y'all crazies out there, like me, who are obsessed with achieving perfect hair, here's how....
1) The purpose of
shampoo is to remove dirt, oil, and dead skin, without eliminating too much sebum, therefore creating a dry scalp. Hair stylists advice washing your hair every-other day so the hair is not too greasy or to too dry. My favourite it shampoo is Paul Mitchell because it leaves my hair fresh and smell really sweet. For days when hair is a little more oily than usual, dry shampoo is ideal. I prefer to use Ojon Rub-Out Dry Cleanser because it has an amazing coconut scent and doesn't leave a white powder in my roots. A cheap alternative to dry shampoo is to use talcum powder, however it can be messier and less effective.
2)
Conditioner is the best way to improve the appearance and texture of your hair. It creates shiny, smooth, controllable locks of love, by conditioning and restoring the PH balance. It's best to use a matching shampoo and conditioner in the same way it's best to use a primer and foundation in the same brand, because they work simultaneously together. I use Paul Mitchell conditioner and love it very much.
3) As equivalent of face-masks or a mani-pedi, hair
masks work as a special treatment to remove excess product and further moisturize hair. I adore Lush masks because they truly smell incredible and recuperate your hair in several manners. If you can spear five minutes once a week, this is the ultimate way to pamper your hair and achieve luxurious results.
4) For everyone who uses heat on their hair in the form of strainers, curlers, and ever blow dryers, a
heat protector spray is a quintessential product. It acts as a protector ageist the heat that burns (and thereby damaging) your hair. I like to use Bumble and bumble. The outcome is healthier looking hair, and a smoother texture. It's especially advisable if you are planning to grow-out your hair.
5) Designed for hair that is textured or damaged,
controlers can be used in multiple capacities. For example, de-frizzers, heat and humidity gels, curl-definers, etc. They help maintain nice hair all day long.
6)
Stylers are methods of varying your hair from the same bland look every single day. They include hair sprays and volumizers in the form of sprays and mousses. They are very popular with flirty, fun chicas like Lauren Conrad and Nicole Richie who like their hair in unique up-dos everyday.
It may seem overwhelming and unnecessary, but in truth, the above doesn't take that long complete and the results are priceless!
