How to keep the hair stunning? 7 simple tricks you should learn by heart
1. Always keep a hairbrush close
Brush your strands often – this is the first rule to follow if you want beautiful, strong, healthy hair. Always wear a hairbrush in your bag and whenever you touch up make-up, give your strands a brush at the same time. This simple trick keeps your hair from looking messy and unkempt, smooths it out, plus the oil that gathers on the scalp is distributed all over the lengths hydrating them and forming a natural anti-damage shield. Surprisingly, this simple tool is the easiest way to make your hair look better. You can forget the stringy strands. A travel-sized brush in your beauty bag makes a perfect solution.
2. Keep a hair oil close too
Applying a hair oil is the easiest way to secure the hair against damage, strengthen and nourish it, intensifying the gloss at the same time. Remember not to over-apply the oil – literally a drop of natural vegetable oil is enough to tame unruly flyaways and give the hair a strengthening boost. Natural oils are high in omega acids, vitamins, flavonoids and plant sterols – all that makes our hair better.
3. Dull-looking hair? There’s a way to get the gloss!
If your hair is forever dull and you can’t boost the shine despite the efforts, use the models’ trick: rub a small amount of DIY flaxseed gel or hair oil in. Also, see through your hair-care products because it’s highly likely that you’re delivering too much protein. You can get some widely-available shine-boosting sprays at the stores. Of course you can make one yourself – mix your hair oil with flaxseed gel, water and a drop of vinegar (e.g. raspberry vinegar) in an atomizer bottle. Spray it on the hair and get stunned by the mirror-like shine. If you’re not pressed for time, you can try a natural gelatin-based hair-smoothing treatment.
4. A braid is always in vogue
This effortless hairstyle has saved many girls from the hair disaster. If your hair is shoulder-length or longer, braid it whenever you have a bad hair day. If you’ve got enough time and feel like it, try some other, more unusual braids. You can also put your hair in a messy bun to go with your smart outfit.
5. Dry shampoo, aka the secret hair-fixing weapon
If your hair tends to look limp or greasy, fix it with a small dose of dry shampoo. Spray it on the hair and rub it into the roots thoroughly to instantly get the volume back and banish the unwanted oil excess. A natural dry shampoo – a blend of rice flour and cocoa – remedies easily weighed-down hair too. Rub a bit of the shampoo into the roots for the instant freshness.
6. Frizzy hair? Never again!
If your hair is often frizzy, you are likely to overuse humectant-based products (moisturizers). A small amount of a hair oil should do the trick. You can even enrich your shampoo or conditioner with some oil or apply pure oil to damp strands after shampooing. Avoid the scalp and apply the oil from the mid-lengths not to overburden the hair but keep it fresh and smooth.
7. Seek the best hair mask
Treat your hair to real SPA at home – feed it a portion of highly-concentrated nutrients. A hair mask fits perfectly – choose one that holds just 2 or 3 nutritional ingredients so you know they come in large amount and consequently treat your hair intensively. The best hair masks are based on keratin, argan oil or liquid silk.
