Game Changing Hair Care Tips

When it comes to proper hair care, there seems to be no end to the list of “rules” we’re supposed to follow: don’t skip trims, don’t use too much heat, etc, etc. We know it can be hard to keep up with all these “rules”, so today we decided to open the vault and let you in on a few of our trade secrets. We like to think of these tips as game changers, and we hope you find them as handy as we do!

Pretty much everyone knows that dry shampoo is a girl’s best friend, but did you know that pairing your dry shampoo with a hair dryer will make a huge difference? It’s true! Next time you use your favorite dry shampoo, try blasting it out with your hair dryer and we swear you’ll never look back.

Next time you head for the gym, try applying a hair mask before leaving the house. Sound crazy? It’s not! The heat from your workout will allow the mask to penetrate deeper into the hair shaft, and the mask itself will keep the salt from your sweat from drying out your hair! Winning! When you get home, you’ll only have to rinse and style!

When you get out of the shower, you may have the tendency to allow your hair to air dry a bit before styling. While we usually advocate for this practice, we do have one caveat: this is a no-go for bangs! If you sport bangs you should try to style them ASAP for the most flawless results. 

There are plenty of ways to hold a curling iron, but if you want to avoid the Farrah Fawcett look, make sure you hold yours horizontally instead of vertically. It may seem strange, but it’s the secret to the coveted Victoria’s Secret waves we all covet so much!

If you’ve got a big event or your hair is feeling particularly unruly, style it the night before! Wash and blow-dry your hair then loosely braid or twist into a top knot. After sleeping on it, it will be less likely to frizz with a natural looking wave.
