How to: Healthy Hair

How to: Healthy Hair 

Ever since late high school I have had long hair and would always get compliments on how soft and shiny it was. I had always been good to my hair, only dying with semi-permanents, no bleaching or permanent dying, minimal use of hot tools and getting the regular trims it needed.

Late last year I decided to go slightly lighter with my hair colour for a more summery look and to be honest, since my hair was always so healthy and soft I had forgotten about the damage bleaching would do to the ends of my hair..and boy did I feel the change!

I started getting back into some serious hair care to get my locks healthy again and here are my tips that I've found work a treat to get my hair back into the best shape possible:

Tangle teezer, Coconut oil & Moroccan oil

1. Tangle teezer

 My hair is thick. And I mean thick. There is a jungle of hair on my head and brushing is a mission on its own!
Tangle teezers are amazing. They effortlessly brush all the knots out of your hair with minimal damage and pain. Winner!

I bought mine from www.beautybay.com/tangleteezer for $19

2. Coconut Oil

 The multi-purpose oil from the Gods! This stuff is liquid gold. I use coconut oil for cooking, my hair treatments, skin moisturizer (on dry days), as a makeup remover and more. Though lets not get crazy and make this 5 pages long, lets talk hair.

Using coconut oil in your hair not only conditions, but can also prevent protein loss. I like to completely cover my hair in coconut oil and leave it to absorb for a few hours or leave it overnight. When you wash it out, just shampoo and condition like normal and feel the difference! I like to do this about once or twice a week as I try not to wash my hair more than twice in one week. 

You can buy coconut oil from any health food stores or your local supermarket.

3. Moroccan Oil

I like to use Moroccan oil on the ends of my hair after I've washed it while it is damp or after I've blow dried my hair just as an added conditioning to ensure any split ends are getting some lovin'! If I'm not using that, I've also got some Argan oil which pretty much does the same thing.

You can buy most hair oils from any hairdressing shop or online.

And it really is as simple as that! No need to break the bank when these products are cheap as chips.

I hope you find these products work for you! If you also use coconut oil let me know how much you love it(because you'd be crazy not to) <3
