Here we have some tips about my daily hair care regime. It sounds simple, I know. But there are so many different methods, routines, and myths out there that I thought I'd talk you through mine, which is Lather, Condition, Treatment, and Style. I know but always start with a rinse. You want to get the temperature quite warm here because it opens up all of the cuticles, and it gets all of the dirt and the oil moving. But be careful. You don't want it to be too warm. I think just above body temperature is fine. And once you've done your rinse, you then want to go into your shampoo. 1. Start Lathering At Roots Now I tend to find I use enough just to fill the palm of my hand. You don't need much more than that. Because you get really great lather on that and really good coverage. So I tend to find you want to start at the roots and that will run naturally down to the ends anyway. But you want to avoid this circular motion as much as possible. Because what that does is it knots your hair, and it's just another problem to deal with afterward. you want to get a really good lather. Kind of work that in for about 30 seconds to a minute, I think should be fine. But you don't need too much more than that. Because you can actually encourage your scalp to produce more oils, which is strange but true. once you've got your whole hair covered, you want to start with a rinse. So starting at the top, you've got gravity on your side here. So wet right in at the roots, and that's just going to run out naturally through to the ends. If your hair is slightly longer, you might want to run your hands just through your hair so you can get the water into the roots. If your hair is really, really greasy, you're going to want to repeat those steps, but no more than twice. I think that should be plenty. 2. Focus Conditioner at The Ends The next step is your conditioner. Quite a lot of people miss this out of their routine. But I find that I love my hair, so I'm going to treat it like I do my skin. you can use Redken High Rise Volume Lifting Conditioner to moisturize your hair. And conditioner is kind of like your moisturizer for your hair. So you want to squeeze the water out of your hair. It's completely different from shampoo. You don't want your hair to be too wet for this. I use the same amount as what I do for shampoos. If your hair is longer, use a bit more. If it's shorter, use a little bit less. But you want to spread it out across your hands fast before just putting it straight onto your head. And you want to focus on the middle to end sections of your hair. The hair closest to the scalp is newer, so it's already in quite a good condition. Whereas, from the middle to the ends, the hair is older. So you're going to need to condition that. I tend to find that I smooth it through the hair, rather than massaging. Because you're not going to get a lather as you do with shampoo, because it's conditioning agents, rather than cleansing agents. Now, I'm quite methodical about how I do this. So I start on one side, and I go right through to the other to make sure I've covered every single strand. And I want to leave it in for as long as possible. So I do my face wash and my body wash and leave the conditioner in. And then once you're finished with that, now it's time for the rinse. So this, again, is different. Turn the temperature right down for this, because I find it locks in all of the moisture, and I like the feeling at the end of the shower. |
