Please keep in mind that I am not a professional, I am just sharing what works for me based on what has been recommended to me by my hairdresser, and that I have found works.
I wash my hair once a week. Yes, you read that right, only once a week. I find that my hair isn't oily by day three or four so I can either put my hair up, like perhaps in a braid, or I can give it a little spritz with dry shampoo.
Washing your hair strips it of it's natural oils and can be overly drying and is not recommended daily. If you can't last the week try to keep it at no more than twice a week.
And please, avoid silicone in your shampoo and conditioner unless it is water soluble.
When I wash my hair I also do a high moisturising treatment of some kind every other week.
This is completely up to you and your hair type. If you dye your hair a lot I would recommend it, otherwise I would look at other types of treatments available that suit your needs.

With my fringe I need to style it every single morning. I find a quick blast with my hairdryer and using a large round brush is enough.

My hair is actually naturally wavy. For the longest time I struggled with styling it because it's at that awkward medium where I either need to straighten or curl it properly. I've found blow drying it on a low setting straight after washing it making sure to point the nozzle downwards not only straightens 90% of it but pointing the nozzle downwards helps to smooth the hair meaning it will be less frizzy.
What are your hair care secrets?
How often are you washing your hair?
Do you use a hair mask? Which one can you recommend us? Or why not?
Any tips that work miracles for your hair that you can share?
I love your just woken up hair. My hair is so fine there isn't much I can do. Rachel x
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to get by with washing my hair twice a week... mostly because it's too cold!
ReplyDeleteWhen he was working at a hair salon as a piercer, my son got me into salt spray (great for styling and for reducing oil between washes) and macadamia oil for the ends of my hair. For my birthday he bought me Bed Head shampooo and conditioner that smells like caramel - yummo! Our bathroom cupboard was filled with hair products for a while there... I'm the only chick in the house, and most of them weren't mine!
You know, I'm just like you in that I don't wash my hair very often! I know it freaks people out a lot though when I tell them! I generally wash my hair twice a week though (unless I do something that makes me sweat, then I give it an extra wash). I wish my hair looked like yours when I just woke up!
ReplyDeleteI have awesome wavy hair for about 2 weeks after my haircut, then it gets heavy and horrible, so I much prefer to keep it straight. Did you see Miley Cyrus spent $1000 on a haircut!!!!! Makes me think the $250 I used to spend pre-kids was fine :)
ReplyDeletemy hair is oily after 1 day... it never use to be.. not sure what im doing wrong - only wash my hair every 4 days
ReplyDeleteMy friend recently put me onto the Dove Intensive Care shampoo and conditioner - it is amazing. I swap it in onnce or twice a week for my regular stuff and it makes my fried hair super dooper soft. If you haven't tried it already, you must - it's great!
ReplyDeleteUhm, I need/want your just woken up hair ;) I tend to wash my hair less than most, too, unless I'm working out/running (which admittedly hasn't happened in a long while...oh about 28 weeks ;) ) .
