Lets talk hair

Let me just start by saying I am in no way a hair expert! I am constantly afraid of damaging my hair to the point of no repair. I started growing my hair out last year as well as got highlights for the first time. Since then I have noticed it's much harder to keep colored/long hair healthy!! I have a routine I use to cut back on hair damage but am always looking for new solutions and tips to keep in mind. With colder weather approaching I need solutions to keep my hair healthy pronto!! After doing a little research and talking to my hair dresser here are some techniques I will be using:

Problem?

 Loosing hair when I get out of the shower

Solution:

Stress along with colder weather causes this! Maybe now that the semester is finished my stress level will go down! Sleep, water and exercise help also!!

Tip:

Don't wash your hair every day. It strips out the natural oil your scalp produces causing dryness. This is easier said than done! I still find the need to wash my hair every day.

Problem?

Dead Ends

Solution:

Get your hair trimmed on a regular basis.

I'm worlds worst when it comes to this! Whenever I finally go in

for a haircut my dead ends have surpassed bad and become horrific.

Tip:

Keep your hair moisturized by using leave in conditioners

I currently use, on a daily basis:

Problem:

Damage from heating tools

I will not stop using my hair dryer/straightner. I will however..

Solution:

Protect my hair from the heat! I use this every single day before I blow dry and again before I use my straightener!

Tip:

Use a wide tooth comb with wet hair instead of a brush

Here's to pretty, healthy hair!
