A Simple Guide to Getting Luscious Locks
Who doesn’t want a beautiful barnet? Fair hair? Luscious locks? After all, you can’t pull off a killer outfit without drop-dead gorgeous hair. We should all be looking after our hair as much as we do our bodies and skin. But where on earth do you start?! This simple guide will ensure you always have luscious looking locks!
What You Eat and Drink
You might not believe us, but what you eat and drink plays a big part in how your hair looks. Eat junk food all the time and your hair will look like junk. No lie. However, eat a healthy diet and your hair will look healthy. It’s simple really! Focus on getting lots of vitamins from fruit and veg. Plus a ton of protein from lean meats and eggs. Fish is good for Omega-3, which can help your hair look amazing. You should also be drinking plenty of water to keep your hair hydrated. Put all the right things into your body and your hair will thank you.
What You Put on Your Hair
The products you use on your locks can also play a big part in how healthy it is. Pack your weave with a ton of products and it’s not going to be very happy. Use the right products in moderation and you’ll notice a huge difference. Here are some of the things you can (and should) use on your hair.
- Shampoo and Conditioner – Shop around for one that matches your hair type. Read reviews and do your research. If you find that it’s making your hair limp or lifeless, then chuck it out. It’s worth buying travel sized products to test first.The Kérastase Paris travel kits are the perfect place to start. Offering a number of different solutions to hair troubles, you can’t go wrong with these amazing kits that are going to bring life back to your hair!
- Heat Protection – If you’re going to be using heat on your hair for styling, then you need heat protection spray. Spritz over your barnet before you blowdry. And don’t forget to brush through! We are loving Kérastase Paris’ NUTRITIVE NECTAR THERMIQUE, which is designed to nourish and protect dry hair during blow-drying. It is an absolute must-have for dull, rough hair in need of some TLC!
- Hair Growth Treatment – If you have problems with hair growth or thinning hair then it’s OK to use a hair growth treatment. Companies such as www.xandrox.com have solutions to suit all different types of hair.
- Oils – We recommend using hair oils every now and then, to add a bit of shine. Don’t go overboard with these though. They should be used sparingly.
Where possible, try to avoid hairsprays and mousses. These can clog up your hair follicles and cause split ends. Never a good look!
Who Touches Your Hair
By this, we mean your hairdresser of course. Your hairdresser should become one of your best friends if you want constantly lovely looking locks. We’re not saying you have to spend a fortune getting it cut every month. However, you should be with a stylist who knows you and your hair type. It can take a while to find one that’s good enough, but it will be worth it. They will be able to advise you on products and styles, along with how often to get it trimmed. Building a relationship with your hairdresser could be one of the best things you ever do!
We promised you it was simple. No hanging your head out of a third storey window while singing songs from Hairspray. Some super easy tips and tricks, plus a few healthy lifestyle changes. Easy-peasy!
