While there are multiple ways to chemically change
the nature of our hair, we at Glamrs rather believe
to enhance and accentuate the mane
in simple yet effective ways.
So here is a complete guide on washing and styling
that you can apply according to your hair type!
Silky straight and fine hair might seem like
the ideal hair type because of the ease of managing them.
However, a constant greasy scalp,
less volume, repeated tangles and limp
lifeless strands are concerns that come with this hair type.
Wash your hair 3-4 times a week
to get rid of the excess sebum production
which makes your hair look flat.
Once a week, scrub your scalp with a clarifying shampoo
as opposed to a cream based one that will remove the oil
without leaving behind extra moisture
and give them a fluffy and fresh look.
Remember to only use a pea size amount of conditioner,
enough to detangle your hair as going overboard
with this product can weigh your mane down.
Use it only at the ends of your strands
and be sure that after a wash
you’ll be left with soft and smooth hair.
To add more life and volume to your strands,
this simple blow drying technique will be an absolute
life changer.
Prep your hair first with a volumizing spray
and massage it into your hair to make sure it holds the style.
Work from the root to the tips to give more
dimension to your hair from the top.
Section your hair into 2 halves and use a round brush work inwards.
Repeat this process as you continue
to section your hair.
As you go higher, use a thicker brush to give you intense volume
at the crown
And there you have it - beautiful, blown out waves!
While beautiful, round curls look amazing
it’s the people who have them know what a task
it can be to maintain them.
Frizzed out, dry and unmanageable curls are common
battles for all curly hair beauties.
Since curly hair loses its hydration
faster than any other,
oiling plays a major role in both adding life as well as shine.
Olive oil is a natural conditioner that is
going to come to your rescue.
Mix it with a few drops of vitamin E oil and apply.
Put it on your roots and scalp sparingly
just enough to moisturise them
Do this once a week for best results.
While washing, focus more on your roots
so that you cleanse away the dirt without
stripping your curls of the shine.
Argan Oil and curly hair are best friends
as this will define your curls, keep frizz at bay
and make your curls much more manageable.
Use it as a leave-in conditioner for happy healthy curls!
Since curls need upkeep, a hair rinse once a week
becomes vital for healthy growth.
Add some shikakai seeds to a bowl of water
and let it sit overnight.
Add 2 tbsp of glycerin to it and
add the mixture in a spray bottle
Spritz this mix on your hair and scalp and leave it on for sometime.
Wash it to find a much better hair texture.
If you have dry and damaged hair,
it’s time to shower your mane with a little more bit of love.
First things first, go for a nourishing,
cream based shampoo that nourishes and hydrates
dry strands while cleansing your scalp.
Your conditioner process should be two fold-
First, is going in with a conditioner that intensively
moisturises and repairs your dead ends.
Second is using a leave in conditioner to add shine,
and strength that will leave your hair feeling softer and stronger
the whole day.
Since damaged hair is more prone to breaking while wet,
use a tshirt or a Hair Wrap that is gentle yet absorbent.
Replace intensive styling tools like straighteners
and curlers with blow dryers which should be used
at least 8 inches away to minimize damage.
We hope that this list of do’s and don'ts helps you out
and makes you love your natural hair a little bit more.
Until next time stay tuned and stay glamrs.
