Grow Long Shiny Hair With These Tips!
Hair time usually elicits a groan or two from everyone, from children to adults. At one time or the other, we have been hit with hair that is dry, limp, weak or just generally unmanageable. This is a typical war-zone for anyone who wants to step out looking their best.
Although extensions, skin-cuts and weaves will give an instant lift to our looks, our hair still needs a lot of care. Happy hair, happy you right?
Here are some tips on what to do to your hair the night before, so that all you need is a quick-comb through your hair by morning to look like royalty!
Coconut, Honey and Cinnamon Hair Mask: Combine these three miracle ingredients to make a great hair mask. Apply the mixture like you would your Relaxer and leave in for your scalp to absorb. Use a towel to avoid messing up your pillow
Natural Curls: If you’re a curly-haired girl who wants to embrace her natural texture, pineapple plaits are the technique for you. Pull you hair onto the top of your head and tie a silk scarf (always silk! cotton strips away the moisture) around the base, creating a pineapple look. Sleep on it, and wake up to curls that are full of volume and fall perfectly.
Castor Oil for Eyelashes and Hair: We all want thick, fluttery eyelashes, but fake lashes and even excessive mascara can wreak havoc on our natural ones. Use a Q-tip to apply castor oil onto your lashes every night to keep them healthy and even make them grow a little longer. Also apply in small amounts to your hair and make sure to massage this mixture into your scalp.
Sleep on Silk Pillowcases: Silk pillows help keep your curls looking smooth and soft. The silky fabric also prevents sleep lines you get on your face from cotton pillows.
Coconut Oil: Coconut oil is really a miracle product for achieving healthy, shiny and longer hair. Slather your hair in it once a week, wrap it in a towel and go to bed. Wash it out in the morning for the best hair day you’ll ever have! And if you’re in a hurry, apply a little to the tips of your hair and you won’t even have to wash it again in the morning.
Textured Lob: Make your unwashed hair look as good as new by creating textured waves. Braid your hair into six little braids before retiring to bed, making sure to start a few inches from the root to avoid weird looking curls. Spritz with a leave-in-conditioner until your strands are damp and sleep on it. When you wake up, spray on a little dry shampoo and you have a perfect do!
Deep Conditioning: Deep conditioners work best when left in your hair for a long time. Apply some to your hair before you hit the sack, and tie it in a tight bun or braid to really let the moisture soak in. Wash you hair in the morning and you’ll end up with baby-soft hair.
Dry Shampoo at Night: We know dry shampoo can be a serious lifesaver, but sometimes it’s hard to work it in completely, and you’re left with a layer of white powder on your hair and scalp. Avoid the fake dandruff look by dry shampooing your hair the night before, giving it time to absorb into your hair completely.
Avocado Hair Mask: As yummy as it tastes, avocado also does wonders for dry hair. Make a paste of pure avocado or mix it with other enriching products like olive oil and massage the buttery concoction into your hair and scalp. Leave it in for at least an hour, or better yet overnight, for best results.
