THE BASICS OF HAIR CARE

At a glance, a person’s hair can tell you a lot about them. It can tell you if someone means business or even if someone’s having a bad day. And let me tell you, if we’re having a bad day, so is our hair. Our locks, short or long, are a part of us and we need to treat them as we would any other part of our body.

From our youth, well into our golden age, we abuse our hair. We blow dry it, heat style it, perm it and bleach it to achieve the look we’ve been seeing on Instagram and in the magazines. What we don’t consider is how our hair is going to feel after we try to go platinum blonde for the third time or what’ll happen to it five years down the line if we straighten it every single day. Our hair loses its natural texture and lustre over time. We want to keep it healthy and shiny for as long as possible. Conditioning hair masks help you get strong hair by bringing moisture to it. They hydrate our hair, giving it body and life.

Treatments like masks and glosses are available to us, but if you’re feeling shy about roaming the isles in your pharmacy or beauty supply store, the next time you’re getting a trim, ask your hairdresser for their drugstore recommendations or even at-home concoctions to give your hair a boost and watch your hair bounce back before your very eyes .
