There are many things you can do to keep your hair looking healthy and shiny. If you have straight hair be sure to use a shampoo that will add volume as sometimes people with straight hair notice that there hair falls flat. Another thing to keep in mind while washing your hair is not to shampoo the ends as the shampoo that runs through your hair from the top cleans the ends enough without over drying them. In addition, if you have straight hair then you should avoid conditioning the top of your hair because it causes it to look greasy. Instead only condition to about the crown of your head. Using hair styling products on straight hair can often make it look dull and weighed down. Instead of using hairspray or gel try a little mousse. When brushing your hair opt to use a bigger brush so hair doesn’t get tangled easily.
For people with curly hair, use shampoos and conditioners that offer anti frizz control or are a smoothing conditioner work best as curly hair can get frizzy. If you have curly hair try to avoid hairspray and stick to more non-alcoholic based gels. Careful not to buy alcohol gels and use them to much because the alcohol actually dries out you hair causing it to look frayed and damaged. A good trick for getting your hair smooth is washing it with a little bit of olive oil in the shower. Be careful not to put it on top of your head because you don’t want it to look greasy. Wash the olive oil out thoroughly while in the shower. This reduces frizz and adds softness to your hair. When brushing your hair be sure to use either a big brush or a smoothing brush so that your hair gets a good brushing without causing tangles.
