Take Care of Your hair!

Hi guys!

So today I wanted to give you guys some advice on how to take care of your hair. Especially when you have long hair, it's an important thing to keep it beautiful and healthy.

Try to find a good shampoo for your hair, therefor you have to know the type of your hair. Do you have greasy hair, dry hair,… ? 
Do you colour you hair, or is it your natural colour? These things can be important to buy a good shampoo for your hair.
(note: don’t always believe everything shampoo-commercials try to sell you, a cheap shampoo from your local supermarket can be as good as an expensive one, or even better)



How often?

You should know that it is not necessary to wash your hair every day, about three or four times a week is enough. It’s also a matter of personal preference, I wash my hair once in two days.

How do you wash your hair? 

It seems like a very simple task for most people, but you can still be doing it wrong without knowing. I’ll give you some steps on how to wash your hair the way it should be washed to keep it healthy and beautiful. 

The only thing you’ll be needing are a good shampoo and conditioner.
Start off by untangling your hair and massaging it with the paths of your fingers to loosen dirt and dead skin.

Did you know that doing this can also approve your hair growth. Gel and hairspray can do the exact opposite.  

1)      Shampooing

Shampoo is meant to clean the hair and scalp. Without shampooing, dirt and the use of other hair products (such as spray,…) can build up over time and cause a greasy look and even irritations.
So it’s very important to do it right. A good thing to start with is off course rinsing your hair with medium heated water. Then take a small amount of shampoo in your palm, don’t exaggerate. Massage the shampoo into your scalp by using clawed fingers. Make sure you do this everywhere. When you’re ready, completely rinse your hair. This is very important to get clean hair. Not rinsing it out enough may leave a greasy look. If you choose so, you can do this twice to get even cleaner hair.

2)      Conditioning

Before conditioning, you can comb your hair with a comb or by using your fingers. Then you can take an amount of conditioner, it depends on the length or the dryness of your hair. Run the conditioner through the middle and on the tips. You can also choose to condition some of your scalp if you like. Leave it on for a few minutes then rinse it really well until you’re certain that there’s nothing left. 



Did you know: When you rinse your hair with icy cold water, it’ll give your hair a shine.Not only that, it'll also help keep your hair healthy. 

You can dry your hair with a towel by patting your hair into the towel. Don’t rub it in! Also try not to use blow dryers as they can seriously damage your hair. Only use them when it’s really needed. 


So I hope this was helpful for some of you out here
And we’ll see you next time!
