How To Look Like You’ve Just Stepped Out Of A Salon

Hair Salon

Never let a hair dryer be too hot or too close.

The greater the volume (you want), the bigger the brush (you need).

Hair longer than elbow length is too long.

When drying hair always finish with a blast of cold air; this will seal cuticles and add shine. Do not buy a hair dryer without a cold air option.

The optimum styling time for hair is when it is 85% dry. Hair drying = hair volume + a groomed finish. Drying hair with a hair dryer lifts the hair from the roots, and gives added body. Natural drying promotes natural curls and waves. Don’t fry, attack or over-dry your hair. LOVE your hair.

Don’t over wash your hair. Excessive shampooing and styling strips the hair of its natural oils.

Even if you are growing your hair, it still needs trims. Split ends lead to unhealthy, stunted growth, and then where will you be?

To give hair added luxury and shine, always do the final rinse using bottled water. That sounds decadent, but tap water around the world as a variety of different pH levels amd some harm the hair. Using bottled water ensures a neutral/balanced pH level. Within a month your hair will have a natural shine and improved lustre.

    Prettybeautiful: I have no idea really. I think it’s such a waste though, to use bottled water on my hair. And to use it for 30 days?? I’d rather donate that amount to charity 🙂

    I had never known about the bottled water tip. It does make sense given that tap water is full of nasties (and ours just happens to be hard water so it’s mega nasty!), but I’m not sure I’ll go to the expense of doing this on a regular basis. I’ll definitely try it possibly for 1 month. I’m curious to see if I can note any diff.
