Bad Hair days got you down? Always worrying about when the next one will strike? Considering canceling your fun Florida vacation because the humidity causes humiliating hairstyles? Here are ten tips to Banish Bad Hair and keep locks lovely every day.
1. Find a great Stylist. You need to find someone good who can work with the natural texture of your hair. Talk to your Stylist about what cuts will flatter the shape of your face. Tell her your expectations and make sure to make her aware of your schedule and how much time you have to spend on your hair every day. You want to avoid a style that takes an hour to style every morning. You also want to avoid anything that involves using too much product on your hair.
2. Washing and Conditioning your hair. Try several products to see what works for you. Your shampoo should remove any build up on your hair without drying it out. Your conditioner should soften your hair and give it shine. Conditioner should never weigh your hair down. For dry or damaged hair I always recommend Redken. This is an excellent line. Their All Soft shampoo and conditioner can really help repair damaged hair.
3. If you are a slow starter in the morning try styling your hair the night before. If you move around a lot in your sleep a satin pillowcase will keep your hair tangle free and smooth. When you wake up in the morning run a brush through it, add a little product and go.
4. If your hair gets greasy as the day wears on keep facial blotting tissues handy. Use on your scalp to reduce oil. You can also use baby powder for the same purpose but I would try to stick to the blotting tissues. It's a much neater solution.
5. Keep your hair shiny and vibrant. Use a lightweight serum to give hair shine and tame fly aways. I recommend Redkens Glass. Pour about 5 drops in your hand then run through hair. This gives your hair a beautiful silky look that people will notice.
6. Rejuvenate your hair with a weekly hair mask. This is like a conditioner on steroids :) Redken Real Control Intense Renewal is a super moisturizing mask. This provides intense moisture. A good conditioning mask can transform damaged hair.
7. Avoid heat related products whenever possible. I know living without your blow dryer or flat iron can be a scary prospect but your hair will thank you in the long run. Heat styling is the main cause of hair damage. If you must use a blow dryer make sure it's ionic. This will help protect your hair from extreme heat.
8. If you are having a serious hair crisis (before calling 911:)) try an up do. Just a few pins and you are ready to go. The low ponytail works great too.
9. Control frizz. If your hair is frizzy it's because it is not getting enough moisture. Make sure to deep condition your hair twice a week, always use a leave in conditioner and then follow up with a water soluble hair styling gel like Tigi S Factor Creamy Molding Wax.
10. Keep your favorite products with you. Buy travel sizes of your favorite fixers like shine serum, dry shampoo, blotting papers, etc and keep them in your handbag/car/desk drawer. These can be life savers for away from home hair emergencies.
