Fly High
Our hair has always been our crowning glory. Having a long, black mane has been a status symbol for women. From the hair color to the volume, the length to the strength, these things matter to any person who would would grow their hair long.
While modern times set new trends—long tresses remain the classic. Hair flies high more than ever if we know what to do. Showcase that glorious mane in this curated set of products made for volume, strength, and styling.
Style your hair as much as you want without worrying about the damage. Reckon learning the right products to use for your hair gives you the freedom to do whatever you want. So, you can play with it as much as you like: ponytail it, curl it, or even straighten it for that long hair. Your hair needs that freedom to fly and sway like it is alive. Here are a few tricks up our sleeves to protect your hair from frequent styling.
1. Before styling, wash your hair with warm water instead of hot water.
2. Use conditioner as you wash your hair to help detangle it. Wet hair breaks easily.
3. Use good heat protection before styling your hair.
4. Get a good hairspray when you set your hair after styling.
STRENGTH AND SASS
Imagine renegade hair that sways in full strength; no hair fall, no breakage, no tangles. It's easy to achieve when you know what to do. There is always disinterest in hair care than styling. But doing so only needs a few tweaks from your diet and daily routine. Massaging your scalp helps a lot with improving blood circulation to your hair. It also soothes your headache. The myth about shampoos is confusing, but this seems to be proven by the American Academy of Dermatology Association. Frequent use of shampoo strips the hair of its natural oils and weakens the hair shaft. It is best to use only a quarter-size amount and apply it directly to your scalp. Replace your large shampoo with conditioner instead and reduce it to a smaller bottle for quarterly scalp cleaning.
VOLUME REVISITED
Do you know that consuming food rich in vitamins and minerals can reduce hair loss? It goes the same with eating protein-rich food to help prevent hair thinning. Go back from losing hair with better eating habits and taking "smart supplements" for more voluminous hair. Nowadays, the market caters to health supplements, made specifically for hair. You may also go all natural with an egg-yolk mask once in a while to keep those hair follicles strong. We dread thinning hair and much more amongst men. So start these routines before it's too late.
An immediate response would be to use hair-friendly styling sprays to fake that volume.
Let's go ahead with better hair this time. Take back that confidence with your hair. Let it be your shining glory once again, so that when we see you again, you dance with your thick and strong hair.
