Hair is a fickle thing.
I know I am one of many just trying to figure out the best way to organise a wash routine, get the perfect blowdry or sort out that oily scalp situation.
I’ve consulted the best hair experts from hairtok to round up the 7 best tips to level up your hair routine (and life) for good! We have scalp care, oiling, protective styles and the best way to get that sleek styled look without damaging your tresses.
So, let’s get into it and be prepared to take notes.
1. Scalp scrub once a week
I know I am not the only one who loves a bit of dry shampoo or volumising spray at the roots or pushing my hair an extra wash or two so I don’t have to deal with it. The result of this is a lot of product build-up and a scalp that starts to feel pretty unhappy — enter, the scalp scrub.
Rachel Valentine (@rachelvalentine) is a trichologist in training and shares how she thinks "scalp scrubs are so underrated, I feel like everyone should have one in their haircare routine".
"I'm putting small amounts on, parting my hair and putting it directly onto the scalp," explains Rachel, demonstrating the method to best work the scrub in. Once you’ve rinsed it out, you can then finish the rest of your wash routine, maybe opting for a more hydrating conditioner or mask after such a cleansing first step.
2. Get frizz-free, smooth styles from wet hair
If you're someone that loves a smooth, sleek look, I have got to put you onto the 2-in-1 ghd duet style — when it comes to hair styling, this is a complete time-saver! You can conveniently use it on wet hair and take it all the way to your styled look with ease. It uses 4 low temperature smart plates and a high-tech airflow channel to dry and then straighten your hair without heat damage or sizzling. The result? A faster styling routine that leaves hair feeling sleek and soft for up to 48 hours.
