Trying to grow your hair or simply maintain what you’ve got going on? Here’s how…

1. Avoid harsh shampoos

Certain shampoos strip the scalp of its natural oils so read the ingredients on your bottle and avoid anything that says sulfates, parabens, formaldehyde-releasing agents (DMDM hydantoin), silicones and phthalates. And when your hair is long, it’s more likely to be dry at the ends. Opt for a super mild shampoo and conditioner to gently cleanse it.

2. Limit styling tools

The longer your hair the more it can get damaged by styling tools and sun damage. Repair damaged hair with a weekly hair mask or give yourself an oil massage. We can also give your hair a new lease of life with a treatment at the salon.

3. Be gentle with wet hair

Don’t start drying your hair when it’s totally wet. Gently towel dry your hair and let it semi air dry before you apply any kind of heat. Add moisture with hair serum and heat protectant.

4. Avoid backcombing

Backcombing is so damaging to hair. Instead invest in hair powder to add volume.

5. Don’t avoid getting a trim

This is vital, especially when you have long hair or are growing it, to keep it healthy and strong.

6. Ditch plastic hairbrushes

Instead invest in a wooden bristle brush, which is more gentle on your scalp and also makes sure the natural oils get evenly distributed through the hair.
