How To Look After Wet Hair And Products To Use Products
Your hair is more fragile when it is wet, it stretches and can snap easily. Use a detangling brush to get the knots out and then comb it in small sections with a comb. You can use a leave-in conditioner to help get any knots out of your hair. Then when it is free of knots, you are ready to apply your hair products.
Firstly you will probably want to use mousse to help to style your hair. It will help you to keep your frizzy hair under control too. Then if you are using electrical appliances, you will need to use some protective products. There are so many different creams, sprays and liquids that you can use on your hair to help to protect it. Get recommendations of what your friends are using and try those products. You can also choose if you want a protective spray to help keep your hair curly, or one that will straighten your hair.
Follow the instructions on the back of the product. Using too much of the product can result in your hair going limp and feeling very greasy. With creams, take a small amount and put it in the palm of your hand. Then rub your palms together and run them through your hair. This way the product is evenly distributed.
Styling Your Hair
Don’t be scared to try a new style. Take inspiration from a tv programme you were watching, a magazine you were reading or someone on YouTube. If you see a new style that you can do from home, give it a try in the comfort of your own bedroom. When you blow dry your hair, there are different techniques for different styles. If you want a full and voluminous style, turn your head upside and blow dry it. If you want straighter hair, you need to use a brush and brush your hair as you dry it. If you finish your blow-dry with a burst of cold air, it closes the cuticles, which makes the hair look shinier.
When it comes to styling your hair with styling products, you need to know that they all do different things. If you use a straightener, you can also use it to curl your hair too. So if you go away and can’t take all of your appliances, just take a straightener and use it for other styles too. Do not use your appliances on wet or even damp hair. This will cause your hair to burn inside and cause breakage and frizzy hair. Always use them on dry hair.
Take A Break From The Hot Appliances
Your hair does need to take a break from appliances. So if you want to style your hair and keep away from the heat, you can leave your curls to dry naturally. You can try heatless curls where you wrap rags in your hair and leave them to dry. Or you can simply braid your hair or put it in a messy bun.
Whatever style you like, make it your own!
my hair rarely gets styled with heat appliance – when it gets to knee!!! length it’s being cut for charity – thanks for your tips
Wow that is an amazing thing to do
I have actually stopped using the hair dryer since I’ve found out that heat on the hair can damage it. Now I just let my hair dry naturally
I only use mine when we are going out and use my hairdryer and straighteners, but the rest of the time I let it dry naturally
