Tips to Care for your Long Hair

You would have probably heard of the term “long hair, don’t care” and would have also used it, but that shouldn’t apply to your hair care routine. It is essential you look after your locks, be it long or short . When it comes to taking care of your longit’s all about using the right hair treatments, products and techniques. Care for your Long locks with these 7 easy tips.

TIP 1: Use a Moisturizing Hair Care Routine

Showing your long hair the love it deserves starts in the shower. Since hair tends to dry out most on its lengths and ends, long-haired ladies can be more susceptible to developing dry hair. To keep your locks hydrated and healthy, use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Once a week, switch your regular conditioner for a deep conditioning treatment.

TIP 2: Use a Pre-Shampoo Treatment

Another option to help keep your lengths and ends sufficiently hydrated is to add a pre-shampoo treatment into your regular routine. Once a week or as required, apply a pre-shampoo treatment onto damp hair before you shampoo. Leave it on for three to five minutes before rinsing out.

TIP 3: Skip Brushing Strands When They Are Wet

Don’t ever brush your hair when it’s wet. Your hair is actually more fragile when it’s wet, so it’s best to avoid brushing it right when you get out. If you must, run a wide tooth comb through your long hair to help gently work through any tangles.
BONUS TIP: When you comb or brush your hair, work from the ends up! This will put the least stress on your strands.

TIP 4: Use a Heat Protectant Before Styling

Long hair certainly looks gorgeous when you blow it out or straighten it with a flat iron. Always ensure you apply a heat protectant before styling your locks. When it comes to blow drying and flat ironing, it’s always a good idea to wait until your hair has become more dried up to help cut down the amount of time your hair is exposed to heat.

TIP 5: Get Regular Trims

Ensure you get a trim every 4-6 weeks, not only does a trim add more body and volume, you also get rid of the dead ends that’s weighing your hair down.

TIP 6: Use a Leave-In Styling Product

It’s very important that your ends are hydrated. One of the best ways to do this outside of your shower routine is with a leave-in styling product or hair treatment, which you can apply onto damp, clean hair before air-drying or styling, or onto dry hair to touch up your look. The important part here is to look for a leave-in product that helps treat your hair while also taming frizz,

TIP 7: Air-Dry Often

Take a break from the heat tools from time to time and embrace your long hair’s natural texture. Create beachy waves by creating a braid and undo it once fully dry. Voila, Natural Beach Waves.
