Last year I had an awesome idea ” Why not chop my hair off, so that it looks like Beyoncé’s in XO?” (You can check it out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xUfCUFPL-8) Well you twat, it cannot look like Beyoncé’s because you do not have a professional hair stylist following you around everyday. But I did it anyways, and at first I loved it, I didn’t even want to get a perm or do an ombré, because it was so chice and elegant. But then I washed it for the first time and the ends twirled and I had to blow it out every time I washed it so that it looked presentable. So I started to get irritated, because I have to wash my hair three to four times a week, I like to just blow dry it and brush it and it to look not to dressy, but stile hot. But this stile was just not having it. So I killed myself using three types of combs combined with two sprays and a giant blow dryer, standing in front of a foggy mirror and it most often resulted in me being so completely sweaty that the shower would end up being a waste of time. Currently my hair has regained some of it’s length, I’m half proud to call myself an owner of hair that is halfway into being elbow-length (at least the front part is, the back however, has just surpassed my neck, sigh). And I am half proud to say it because the hair trend for 2015 states LONG GROOMED AND NATURAL HAIR IS THE WAY TO GO. The forecasts seem to be stating a lot of loose buns and braids, but overall pixies are out. And with great hair comes great responsibility so here are the facts that are actually true with hare care and washing:
1. Wash as rarely as possible. The bottom line is, grease greases your hair, and without it your hair breaks, and becomes straw-like. Also, your hair needs grease, so if you remove it, it will just create more grease to replace it. So leaving your hair dirty for a couple of days is a good thing and will only make it prettier once you wash it.
2. Use minimal shampoo. Something my hair stylist had told me is that a lot of clients (myself included) tend to overuse shampoo, which leads to getting dandruff, because shampoo is chemistry and when you use to much, you have a lesser chance of washing it all of, and it just stays on your scalp irritating it.
3. Wash thoroughly. Rinsing is equally if not even more important than shampooing, and I’ve laid out the reason in point number 2.
4. Warm water, We all need those hot showers, where the bathroom gets so foggy you can barely breathe, but as any other thing that people find pleasure in, it harms you. More like, it harms your skin. It opens up your pores and your poor hair has no choice but to fall out. So try to set your hot shower usage to a minimum, and turn to lukewarm water instead.
5. Cold water- shiny finish. When done with your wash, try to send a wave of cold water down your head it does and amazing thing in lifting your hair and giving it awesome shine.
