#How To Use Heat Protection Spray For Straightening Hair

[angelicgirlmj]

Heyy , I have curly hair and I've been going back and forth between doing chimcal treatment (protine) ,having it straight and starting my curly journey all over again, when it's summer break I love it but when school starts it gets hard to manage especially when I'm trying to look and feel clean , put up tougher. It really dose effect my confidence, do you have any tips for me please ,also I really love your content

hi angel! so i also have curly hair and yeah, 100% it can be alot to manage especially back at school. i personally would say in my experience/encounters with friends who have overly straightened or chemically treated their hair they do regret it long term due to the damage and loss of curls and overall hair health. curly hair is so so pretty and fun - so many girls would die for natural curls! the trick is to find ways to make it easier for you to manage daily and fit around school. here are some things i do to manage my curls:

wear a silk bonnet or hair wrap and sleep on a silk pillow case if possible. if not put your hair up in a loose bun or plait to prevent damage and frizz, making it much more manageable.

learn how to put your hair up in protective styles. this makes it so much easier to prevent frizz, keep your hair healthy and knot free and also stops you from needing to wash it every time you style it.

buy a hair gel! if you like looking clean and put together using some gel to slick back any flyaways can really make a difference.

fit your hair wash days around your schedule. don’t wash your hair on your busiest, most exhausting day if you can help it, go for the weekends or less busy days (for example i wash mine Wednesdays and Sundays).

know your curl pattern and what products work best for it. figuring out your hair type will help you find creators etc with similar hair type which will help you find more specific product recommendations and tips.

buy a good heat protectant and diffuse your hair if possible. diffusing saves so much time and makes your curls really stand out. if not use a 100% cotton towel or shirt to dry your hair instead to prevent damage and frizz.

buy a good smelling hair perfume or hair spray. i have a lemon scented spray that i love it helps my hair smell clean and fresh.

buy pretty claw clips, hair clips, bows etc any kind of hair accessories. they make your hairstyles stand out and are so cute that even when you just have a basic pony tail in they make it look adorable!

dedicate some more money and time into your hair. for example, get it cut before you go back to school so it looks healthy and good, buy that new hair product you’ve been eying up or a new hair oil. set aside enough time in your daily and weekly routines that you can give it the care and love it needs, but not so much you feel stressed out and unproductive. good luck! i know you will figure out how best to take care of your curls - remember it’s a process. if you do decide to get a straightening treatment just remember to take very good care of your hair health. all my love, m.

do u have any big sister tips on how to be prettier😭😭 i feel like im so behind in beauty and stuff how does literally every girl have perfect skin and hair likeee🥲💗

-invest in a simple skin care routine!! u don’t need a 20 step 100 product routine. i use an elf facial cleanser and cera ve moisturizer twice a day.

-take care of ur hair! make sure you’re not over washing it, sleep with silk pillow cases or a bonnet to keep your hair from breakage. always make sure to use heat protect spray whenever u straighten or curl or blow dry it.

-always keep chapstick or lipgloss on u to make sure ur lips are hydrated !! it makes a huge difference

-don’t overdo it on ur makeup!! a little goes a long way, u don’t need a million different products. and do makeup styles that flatter your face, not everyone looks good with the same makeup

-perfume behind the ears, on ur wrists, collarbone, behind the knees are the best spots to keep it long lasting

-confidence is key! the more confident u are the more u feel “prettier”

also remember eveyone is pretty in their own way!! don’t compare urself to others because it really does nothing beneficial for you. just stay doing what you’re doing and you will be sm happier 🤍🤍🤍 i love u sm!!!

how do you care for your hair when you use heat on it? Like what steps/routine do you follow? Not necessarily products (although they're very welcome). It's hard to know what's good and what's not since your hairdresser, just like influencers, are most likely selling you something.

I changed my haircut recently and started using heat (it's kinda curly so I straighten it and then try to curl it a little) and it really changed me and got told so much that I had a glow up, so I think that's my best look and will try to keep doing it since it looks great on on me but I want my hair to be and stay healthy so that's why I'm asking you.

Thank you for this question, I loved digging through to make this post x

I am going to talk about prevention and solutions so you can fully protect your hair. Starting with protection, and I have to say it, don't use heat regularly. Ideally you would take a minimum of three/four day break between each use of heat and this is only if your hair is healthy. If the condition of your hair is not that healthy then I would suggest going even longer (once a week, every other wash etc) between each use. To further reduce how much heat you are using, I would reccomend not using heat to curl your hair. You can easily do heatless curls and because they have been so popular, you can find easy tutorials anywhere. You can use a bonnet/ protective hair styles to keep your hairstyle for longer to widen the gap between each heat usage.

Futhermore, I would look into learning how to refresh your style so you are not having to consistenly go back and redo your hair.

You said that you straigthen your hair more so I am presuming you are using iron for that. If you are, use heat protectant made for heating irons as they can differ from standard heat protectants.

Proper use of heat protectant:

Spray the heat protectant in sections. A lot of people just spritz heat protectant on the hair that is on the top and the whole section underneath has not been protected.

You can also spray teh heat protectant on your hairbrush and brush your hair with that. Make sure to cover your entire head, I find it works better to do this just before the section you are applying heat to.

For further scientific details here is a post by a chemist that I follow on the scienece of heat protection.

I would also invest in some split end serum/ smoothing serum to help nourish the ends of your hair and help prevent breakage. I highly reccomend the Kérastase Nutritive Nutri-Supplement Split Ends Serum. I have been using for a while and it has made my ends so much smoother and less frizzy looking. This is more preventative and it saves the tears of realising that the only thing that will save your hair is a big chop.

Aftercare

You need to make sure that you are getting rid of all the product build up in your hair and making sure it is clean. I would use a clarifying shampoo every second/third wash, depending on how much product you use and whether you live in a city etc... I find that using it every 4-5 washes works for me but that is because I barely use any product on my hair.

When it comes to coniditioning, there are two types: protein and moisturizing. A good routine has both but how much will depend on the porosity of your hair. Protien hair masks help with elasticity, whereas moisturising masks help with length and shine.

I have seen chemists and hair care specialists reccomend fully deeply conditioning your hair before heat styling and for that a good moisturizing mask would do the trick. After this the general rules of hair care apply.

Tips For Everyday Grooming

On a Monday, you might want to start the week with a great style for a great impression. This day, you could straighten your hair to show off the length. Make sure you use your heat protectant spray. I am sure we have all used a hair straightener before though so style how you love to with your iron.

Tuesday can be your fun day with a flirty side pony. I tend to tie my hair back into a side ponytail and then choose pieces from the tail to curl-this way they look fresh and not smashed like they would if you would curl before tying it all back. You can even add some fun with your bangs by pinning them back or leaving them down curled to add extra flirt.

Wednesday is hump day, which means you might need a break from your technical styling. To do so, it is as easy as showering and leaving your hair with a damp look. Each time I sport this style, it saves me about ten minutes because I just put a little product in my damp hair to give a natural wave look. Sometimes I pull my bangs back for a more put-together look or leave them down.

Thursday to me is a fancy day again so I like to go with the Snooki-inspired poof. You can curl or straighten your hair for this style but if you are in a time crunch, I recommend you straighten to make things easier. I like to curl my hair (you can use any method of curling that you like) because it can hide split ends that may be visible if I straighten. Next, I make sure my part is far to the side and I backcomb the crown of my hair. Grab as much hair as you would like and pin it back behind your head about in the middle.

Friday is fun day! I love these days because I tend to go with any freestyle kind of hair ‘do that I feel like. If you are feeling creative, do not be afraid to try out a new style that you thought of on your own! My favourite style to do on Friday’s is to reuse my curls from Thursday and sport a spunky high ponytail to reflect the spunkiness that Friday’s represent.

These are some of the easiest styles you can ever do with your hair and do not take much time either. The weekends are yours to come up with creative styles or reuse any of the styles from the week. Just always remember to use plenty of protectant spray if you are going to use your hair straightener and always be cautious if you are going to tease the hair also.

National Hair Day

Maybe every day can’t be a good hair day but in celebration of National Hair Day, this one certainly can be. Join in and get ready to learn and appreciate everything fun and exciting that has to do with hair!

History of National Hair Day

Hair has been the crowning glory of the human head perhaps since the very beginning of time! In fact, researchers think the comb was used by ancient Egyptians as far back as 5500 BC. The hairbrush took a bit longer to come out though, and the Kent Hairbrush Company is recorded as having started in 1777 in Hertfordshire, England.

While wealthy people have been having their hair done for centuries, early on this was typically done either by a family member or perhaps by a personal servant.

By the mid-1700s, however, the first person to have declared himself a ‘professional’ hairdresser in Europe was Legros de Rumigny who worked for the French court. In fact, he wrote a book on hairdressing that included pictures of the unique hairstyles that he had designed. The book was called Art de la Coiffure des Dames, which can be translated to The Art of Hairstyles for Ladies.

National Hair Day is a bit newer on the scene and is just beginning to develop its own history. Founded in 2017 by NuMe, a hair care company, this day is all about celebrating the styling tools and hair care products that help to make each person’s hair as beautiful as possible.

Whether hair is straight, wavy, curly or kinky, there are a myriad of different products and tools that can help to enhance the natural texture of hair while making it look its very best. And National Hair Day is the best time for it!

How to Celebrate National Hair Day

Wondering how to celebrate and enjoy this delightful day? There are all kinds of ways! Get creative on your own, or try out some of these ideas that can be enjoyed in honor of National Hair Day:

Get a Haircut

Make an appointment at the barber or hair salon in honor of National Hair Day! Get that new ‘do that you’ve been thinking about, whether chopping it short, going for layers, adding bangs or fringe, or turning into a platinum blonde inspired by Marilyn Monroe. Don’t be afraid to go for the full shampoo, cut, color and style. The sky’s the limit when it comes to what kind of fun that can be had on National Hair Day.

Consider a New Hairstyle

Of course, National Hair Day doesn’t mean it’s necessary to go to extremes. Even those who aren’t ready for a new cut or color might be able to play around with their hair a bit on this day. Maybe start by making the part of your hair on the other side!

This is also a great time to learn a new skill that is related to hair styling. Perhaps that might be learning how to make a regular braid, a French braid or a Fishtail Braid. YouTube and other online videos can act as an excellent resource for learning with easy, step by step tutorials on how to create a new hairstyle.

Try Out Some New Hair Care Products

National Hair Day is the ideal time to pop into the beauty supply store and find out what’s new in the world of hair care products and styling tools. Perhaps pick up a new brand of mousse or heat protectant spray. Try out a new curling iron, blow dryer or hair straightener. Or even consider getting a fun new color for hair, whether temporary or permanent.

Buy a New Hairbrush

Some hairstylists say that a typical person needs to replace their hairbrush every six months to a year. Of course, this depends on how often it is used, how much product the person uses, how long their hair is and even how often they clean their hair brushes.

It’s also possible that some people have simply been using the wrong kind of hairbrush for their particular type of hair. Those who are in the market for a new hairbrush might want to consider one of these styles in celebration of National Hair Day:

Curly Hair. Many people say that curly hair should never be brushed, but if it’s necessary for detangling, then use a special cushion brush that has nylon bristles to keep the curls from getting frizzy and knotted.

Frizzy Hair. This is a complicated hair type and the best type of hair brush will tame that frizz and keep it in place. Try using a hairbrush that has bristles made of boar. The natural bristles help to distribute the hair oils more evenly throughout the hair.

Blow-Dry Brushes. People who blow dry their hair on a regular basis need special tools to keep their hair happy and healthy. The best type for blow drying are brushes that are made from ceramic and have ionic properties that repel water to shorten the drying time and keep the hair from getting overly damaged.

Teasing Brush. Looking for more volume? A special boar’s hair and nylon teaching brush gets close to the scalp to get that hair high. Choose one that has a pointed handle which can be used for creating parts or separating strands of hair.

Enjoy Some New Hair Accessories

Pop into an accessory shop or department store and check out what’s on offer these days for hair accessories. Ribbons, ponytail holders, barrettes, clips and so many other delightful products provide tons of different options for wearing the hair in unique ways. Try securing a ponytail in the back, a braid, two buns on the sides, or even a popular banana clip to hold the hair back from the face.

Little girls can get away with a brand new hair bow in honor of National Hair Day! Something colorful like Jojo’s Bows would be a fun and delightful addition to a hairstyle today, keeping things snazzy.

How to Maintain Healthy Hair:

Maintaining healthy hair is essential for everyone, but for busy online entrepreneurs, it can be particularly challenging. This guide will provide you with practical steps to keep your hair looking and feeling its best, even with a hectic schedule.

What is Hair Care and Why Does it Matter?

Hair care refers to the practices involved in maintaining the health and appearance of hair. This includes cleansing, conditioning, and protecting hair from damage. For online entrepreneurs, looking polished can boost confidence and make a positive impression in virtual meetings and content creation.

How to Maintain Healthy Hair Choose the Right Shampoo and Conditioner

Using the right shampoo and conditioner for your hair type is crucial. If you have oily hair, opt for a clarifying shampoo. For dry hair, choose a moisturizing formula.

Tip: Avoid products with sulfates and parabens as they can strip natural oils and cause dryness.

Wash Your Hair Properly

Over-washing can strip hair of its natural oils, while under-washing can lead to a build-up of products and oils. Aim to wash your hair 2-3 times a week, depending on your hair type and activity level.

Tip: Use lukewarm water and avoid hot water to prevent drying out your scalp and hair.

Condition Correctly

Apply conditioner mainly to the ends of your hair, where it is the driest. Leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly.

Tip: For extra hydration, use a deep conditioning treatment once a week.

Protect Your Hair from Heat

Heat styling tools like blow dryers, straighteners, and curling irons can cause significant damage. Use a heat protectant spray before styling to minimize damage.

Tip: Let your hair air dry whenever possible to reduce heat exposure.

Trim Regularly

Regular trims help prevent split ends and keep your hair looking healthy. Aim for a trim every 6-8 weeks.

Tip: If you’re maintaining a specific hairstyle, frequent trims will help keep it looking sharp.

Eat a Balanced Diet

Your hair’s health is influenced by your diet. Ensure you’re getting enough vitamins and nutrients, such as Vitamin E, Omega-3 fatty acids, and protein.

Tip: Incorporate foods like nuts, seeds, fish, and leafy greens into your diet for optimal hair health.

Stay Hydrated Try This Product /

Fully Vital Hair Serum

Drinking plenty of water keeps your hair hydrated from the inside out. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water a day.

Tip: Keep a water bottle at your desk to remind you to drink throughout the day.

Avoid Over-Brushing

While it’s important to detangle your hair, over-brushing can lead to breakage. Use a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle wet hair and a natural bristle brush for dry hair.

Tip: Start from the ends and work your way up to avoid tugging and breaking your hair.

Manage Stress

Stress can negatively impact your hair, leading to conditions like hair loss or thinning. Incorporate stress management techniques such as exercise, meditation, or hobbies you enjoy.

Tip: Set aside time each day to relax and unwind, even if it’s just for a few minutes.

Tips and Reminders for Healthy Hair

Sleep on a Silk Pillowcase: Silk pillowcases reduce friction, which can lead to less breakage and frizz.

Use a Hair Mask: Weekly hair masks can provide deep hydration and nourishment.

Protect Your Hair from the Sun: Wear a hat or use hair products with UV protection to shield your hair from sun damage.

Avoid Tight Hairstyles: Styles that pull on your hair can cause breakage and damage to your hairline.

Closing

By following these simple tips, you can maintain healthy, beautiful hair even with a busy schedule. Remember, taking care of your hair is not just about aesthetics; it’s about feeling confident and ready to tackle your day as an online entrepreneur.

Favorite Haircare Products 2024

Hello, 2024! I was supposed to post this in December last year because I often get told that my hair looked really nice so only then that I realized that the hair products I've been using, plus new ways of taking care of my hair are really effective.

But as usual, life got so busy so I had to postpone publishing!

Anyhooo, these products have been a constant part of my haircare routine since July 2023 and I still use them til now. This is how my hair looks like as of January 2024.

Of course, I still have bad hair days, especially on days I forgot to apply Argan oil! But on lazy days where I don't feel like styling my hair, I make sure to apply a hair mist.

Lifestrong Hairfix Advanced Hair Mist

This one is a total favorite! I saw this on Nikki's IG stories (AskMeWhats) mentioning how it was on sale at Watsons that time. I got it for just 160-ish pesos at that time so I decided to get both variants and that's one of the best 160 pesos I've ever spent that!

I spray these anytime, anywhere, and apart from they smell so good, they don't leave any sticky feeling. My hair looks so shiny after and did I mention that this has UV protection, too?

I also find this useful before heat styling because it makes my hair more manageable.

Lucido-L Argan Oil

Okay, this is truly THE BEST hair product I have ever come across. I have been using Argan oil on and off for many years, maybe more than a decade now. But I would usually stop at one point because it makes my hair and scalp so greasy and it smells like wet grass for real. Not that it's a bad scent, but it's not something I'd like other people to smell on me.

This Lucido-L Argan oil was an impulse purchase when I was shopping in Hong Kong. I got it from Mannings for just 70HKD (500pesos). I tested it there and I liked the non-sticky consistency and the "expensive" scent so I bought it without expecting too much. But OMG this helped me so much with my damaged hair. I barely get tangles and washing my hair every other day became bearable because it's not icky at all. (Yes, as a tropical girl I used to wash my hair every single day, even 2x or 3x a day!)

Vitress Cuticle Coat Instant Relax

Vitress is such a classic haircare brand and I've been using products from this brand for a long time. My current favorite is their cuticle coat which I apply only at the ends of my hair after heat styling. It basically just adds shine and it makes my hair straighter. That's what I noticed about this, it's not really the best when I'm curling my hair because it weighs my curls down but when straightening my hair, this works wonders!

BENCH Fix Professional Dry Shampoo

Like I mentioned earlier, I used to wash my hair everyday, and during the scorching summer, maybe even 2 or 3 times daily. But these days, I try my best to preserve my hair's natural cuticle buy not stripping it off its moisture every wash. To counteract the grease, I just use a dry shampoo. This one from BENCH is super cheap and works well in getting rid of oil. I like how it adds volume, too!

My hair would look like this without heat styling! I'd just wash, apply hair mist and let it air dry and it'll still look like this. Applying Argan oil the night before helps so much as well :)

6 Trendy Hairstyles That You Might Want To Consider

Many people never think about their hairstyle as a way to express themselves. However, there are many trends that you can follow and try out. Here we will discuss 6 trendy hairstyles that you might want to consider for your next hair appointment. Box Braids Summertime hairstyles that are short and angled usually look beautiful. The bob hairstyle has been popular for a very long time, and it still looks stylish. In the warmer months of the year, there's something about shorter haircuts like this one that gives women a boost of confidence. If you have thin hair, adding a few modest highlights will help your hair appear thicker and volumeier.r. Box braids are also great for protecting your hair from the sun and humidity. If you’re looking for a style that will keep your hair healthy and protected, box braids are the way to go. You can wear box braids for a few weeks, or even a couple of months, before taking them out. Just be sure to moisturize your hair and scalp regularly to keep them healthy. Natural Curls Natural curls are a style that has been in for quite some time now, and they’re not going anywhere anytime soon! It can be difficult to achieve these using curling irons or straighteners. However, the great thing about natural curls is that you don’t have to worry about them getting frizzy throughout the day because that’s just part of the style. If you have shorter hair, consider using a finger coiling technique to create bouncy curls. For longer locks, try twisting them into two big braids before bed and unraveling them in the morning for natural-looking waves. Whatever method you choose, make sure to use a curl-defining product like mousse or serum to help keep the curls in place. And, of course, don’t forget to use a good-quality heat protectant. Bob Haircut Haircuts that are short and angled are always a good look for summer. The bob haircut has been around forever, but it still looks chic as ever! There’s something about shorter hairstyles like this one that makes women feel more confident during the warmer months of the year. If you have thin hair, adding some subtle highlights can help give the impression of more volume and thickness. Another thing to consider is using a razor technique on your hair, like beachy waves for example, which can help make your bob haircut look even better. There are many types of bob hairstyles to choose from, so take your time in finding the perfect one for you. Unstructured bob is one of the more popular styles at the moment. Long Layers Always use layers, particularly if you want to keep your hair appearing thick and healthy. Long layers, which may be styled straight or curled, are ideal for giving your hair movement and structure. Long layers that begin at or longer than the shoulder can be requested from your hairdresser. Another nice feature of this style is that you may wear it straight or curly. Choose lengthy, silky layers that you may dress anyway you wish for a more formal event. If you have short hair, a layered bob style like this one might give you the same appearance as those with long hair. Modern Mullet The modern mullet is an interesting and intricate hairstyle that shows off the sides of your head while keeping the top section longer. It has a grunge feel to it, but can be worn for any event or occasion depending on how you style it. Here are some tips on how to get this look. Your hair should have an inch or two at least before you start cutting into it. If your hair already starts with shorter layers towards the front, then don't cut too much off initially - just keep trimming until it's even all over. After getting rid of those first few inches in the front, use thinning shears between each layer so everything blends evenly. Make sure there are no blunt lines across your forehead - use a razor to soften any harsh lines. If you have curly or wavy hair, use a sea salt spray while your hair is damp to give it more texture and hold. The modern mullet hairstyle is pretty simple to achieve. While it may seem complicated, the best thing about this style is that just about anyone can wear it! It’s a great choice for women with curly hair because of how easy it will be to straighten out the ends and make them look more polished. If you want something that will last for a few days, this is the style for you! All you need is some hair gel or wax and a little bit of time to style your hair in the morning. The modern mullet can be worn wavy, curly, or straight- just make sure that the front section is styled neatly and away from your face. 60's Bangs The 60's bangs are making a comeback, and we're loving it! This style is all about having blunt, thick bangs that go right to your eyebrows. It can be a little bit tricky to style them correctly, but the result is worth it. If you have shorter hair, you might want to ask your stylist to cut them a bit longer so that they’re easier to style. You can wear 60's bangs straight or curly, and they work best with middle-parted hair. Add in some volumizing product before styling for extra volume and thickness. This style of bangs goes well with most face shapes, and it looks great on women with curly or straight hair. So there you have it - six trendy hairstyles that you might want to consider! Whether you're looking for a style that will make you stand out from the crowd or one that is more low-key, there is a look here that will suit your needs. Read the full article

adding a few things onto this (speaking from experience and as someone with a sibling who owns a salon, and as someone with colored hair)

• a little table salt rubbed onto blood will remove most of it before a wash if you dont have stain remover (mostly for period blood. in my experience it's worked on smaller sheet stains.)

• if you color your hair, do NOT wash your hair in hot water as it will wash out the dye much quicker. also if you can, use a color safe shampoo and conditioner so your color stays longer

• if you deal with frizzy hair, a silk pillowcase can help

• if you blow dry and/or straighten your hair, use a heat protection spray beforehand to avoid damaging your hair from heat

• when you blow dry your hair, blow it at a down angle to keep your hair from getting too frizzy and to keep it from getting too messy. (hold the dryer up above your head at an angle). if you've had your hair blow dried by a hairdresser/salon professional, it's pretty much exactly what they do.

• if you wear underwire bras like me and they snap, you can buy replacement, and stronger, wire to replace the snapped one. i've personally used https://porcelynne.com/ to buy them for super cheap. this site also has other replacement things for bras as well as tutorials/patterns on how to make your own.

• adding onto the op's first point, hand washing your bras can also make them last longer

In case no one told you growing up

Bras last longer if you let them air dry. Don’t put them in the dryer.

If you have a problem with frizzy hair, don’t dry your hair with a towel. It makes the frizzies worse. (I recently read an article that said to use a t-shirt? I brush mine out and let it air dry.)

Whites wash best in hot water. Everything else can be in cold - save on your electricity bill.

You can kill 99.9% of germs in a sponge by putting it in the dishwasher for a cycle or by microwaving it for 2 min (be sure to make the sponge damp before microwaving and to put a cup half full of water in with it and please DO NOT squeeze the sponge until it has cooled off)

Airing out your room/house and letting sunlight in every so often can decrease the number of household pests like silverfish and ants.

Black underwear is best during your period as stains are less likely to be visible.

To save money, put aside 10% of each paycheck into a savings account. It’ll add up.

Unless your hair has something on/in it (like grease or mud or something), using conditioner first can actually be the better choice. The conditioner holds in the good oils that help you hair look sleek and beautiful, which shampoo would otherwise wash away.

Speaking of shampoo - if you have long hair, washing just the bits that touch your scalp is generally enough. The rest of your hair gets cleaned with just the run off from your scalp.

If you put a tampon in and it’s uncomfortable/you can feel it, you didn’t do it quite right. A properly placed tampon is virtually unnoticeable by the wearer.

Apply deodorant/antiperspirant a couple hours in advance of when you need it. This gives the product the chance to block your sweat glands. Using deodorant just before going somewhere where you’ll sweat (this means walking outside for people in high humidity places) results in your sweat washing the deodorant off and starkly limiting its usefulness.

After running the dryer, use the dryer sheet from that load to brush out the lint catch - it gets everything off in a fraction of the time it’ll take you to get it clean with your bare hands. Paper towels also work well.

Wash your face everyday, or as often as possible. Forget which brand of cleanser is best. Just washing your face everyday will guarantee you clearer skin. And do you best not to pop pimples, as tempting as the urge may be.

Fold laundry asap after taking it from the dryer to avoid wrinkles. This may seem obvious for dress shirts and silly for things like t-shirts, but you’ll notice the difference even then once your shirts stop looking like unfolded paper balls.

How to Maintain Your Hair After a Salon Treatment in Dubai

Many cherish the luxury of visiting a salon in Dubai for hair treatments such as keratin, hair botox, or colouring. However, proper aftercare is essential to maintaining those salon results for as long as possible. Here are some tips to keep your hair healthy and gorgeous post-treatment.

Follow Post-Treatment Instructions

Your stylist will provide specific aftercare instructions tailored to your treatment. Whether it’s avoiding washing your hair for 48 hours after a keratin treatment or using specific shampoos, follow these guidelines to prevent undoing the effects of the treatment.

Choose Sulfate-Free Hair Products

Many salon treatments can be compromised by harsh chemicals in regular shampoos and conditioners. Opt for sulfate-free and paraben-free products to ensure your hair remains smooth, hydrated, and vibrant.

Avoid Heat Styling Tools

Limit your use of heat-styling tools such as curling irons or straighteners. If heat styling is unavoidable, always apply a heat protectant spray to shield your hair from damage.

Protect Your Hair While Sleeping

Invest in a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction and prevent frizz while sleeping. You can also loosely braid your hair to keep it tangle-free.

Hydrate Regularly with Hair Masks

Use deep conditioning masks or hair oils once a week to replenish moisture. Treatments like argan oil or coconut oil can help maintain the softness and shine achieved in the salon.

Avoid Chlorine and Saltwater Exposure

Swimming pools and beaches can strip the treatment of its benefits. To minimize damage, wear a swimming cap or apply a leave-in conditioner before swimming.

Schedule Regular Touch-Ups

Some treatments, like hair colouring or keratin, require periodic touch-ups to maintain their effects. Schedule follow-up appointments with your salon to keep your hair looking fresh.

Conclusion

Maintaining your hair after a salon treatment in Dubai requires commitment and the right products. By following these simple yet effective tips, you can extend the life of your salon results and keep your hair looking salon-fresh for weeks.

How to Straighten Your Hair Safely

Hair straightening is a popular styling technique that can give you smooth, sleek hair. While there are several methods to straighten your hair, it is important to do so safely to avoid damage and breakage. In this article, we will explore how to straighten your hair safely using heat styling tools, natural methods, and protective products.

If you choose to straighten your hair using a flat iron or blow dryer, it is important to take precautions to minimize damage. Start by applying a heat protectant spray or serum to your hair before styling. This will help create a barrier between your hair and the heat, reducing the risk of breakage and dryness. Make sure to use the lowest heat setting possible that still effectively straightens your hair, and avoid running the heat styling tool over the same section of hair multiple times to prevent overheating.

When using a flat iron, make sure to keep the plates clean and in good condition to prevent snagging and pulling on your hair. Start by dividing your hair into small sections and slowly glide the flat iron down each section from root to tip. Avoid holding the flat iron in one spot for too long, as this can cause heat damage and breakage. For blow drying, use a round brush to guide the hair straight as you dry it, and finish with a blast of cool air to set the style and add shine.

If you prefer to straighten your hair using natural methods, there are several techniques you can try 樟葉 縮毛矯正. One popular method is the "blowout" technique, where you use a blow dryer and round brush to smooth out your hair without using a flat iron. Start by applying a smoothing serum or cream to your hair, then divide it into small sections and blow dry each section straight using a round brush. Finish with a blast of cool air to set the style and add shine.

Another natural method for straightening hair is using a hair mask or conditioner with straightening properties. Look for products that contain ingredients like keratin, argan oil, or coconut oil, which can help smooth the hair cuticle and reduce frizz. Apply the mask or conditioner to damp hair, comb it through to distribute evenly, and leave it on for the recommended time before rinsing out. This can help hydrate the hair and make it more manageable for styling.

In conclusion, straightening your hair can give you a sleek, polished look, but it is important to do so safely to avoid damage and breakage. Whether you choose to use heat styling tools or natural methods, take steps to protect your hair and minimize the risk of heat damage. With proper care and techniques, you can safely straighten your hair and achieve beautiful, smooth results.

San walked out of the bathroom, a towel around his neck that he used to dry the few stray droplets of water falling from his hair.  

On the other side of the room was Jieun, sitting at the desk with her phone propped up like a mirror. A straightening iron rested on top as Jieun sprayed heat protectant all over her hair.

“Choi San, put a shirt on!” she exclaimed, seeing the older boy in the corner of the screen. 

He grinned sheepishly, opening his drawer to pull out a shirt. “My bad.” After slipping it over his head, he rubbed his hair with a towel to get rid of the excess water. San looked over at the girl, quietly watching as she sectioned her hair before picking up the straightener, using it to curl her hair. 

Curiously, he walked closer to her, taking a seat on the bed beside the desk. 

“What’s the special occasion?” he asked with a small tilt of his head. “You never curl your hair.” 

Without looking at him, Jieun shrugged. “I don’t know. I just felt like it.” 

“Are you going out?” 

She nodded, continuing to curl her hair piece by piece while he watched. “Wooyoung-oppa asked if I wanted to try out a restaurant he heard about. Apparently they have really good steak.” 

“Just the two of you?” 

“I guess so.” 

San stood up, slowly reaching in front of the girl before carefully taking the tool out of her hand.

“Here, let me help.”

“It’s ok, I can do it myself.” She looked over at him, reaching for the straightener, though he held it out of her reach.

“It’s fine, I got it,” he responded, taking a section of hair. “Besides, I know you hate curling the back of your head.”

She looked at him through the reflection of her phone, watching the older boy’s concentrated face as he carefully curled each section of her hair before placing it over her shoulder to keep it out of the way. 

“Where’d you learn how to curl hair?” 

Upon her question, a small smile made its way onto San’s face. 

“I have an older sister, remember? She’d complain her arms were tired and make me do her hair for her,” he chuckled. “Plus, I’ve been watching the stylists curl your hair for the last- what? Six years? I think I’ve picked up some things in that time.” 

Jieun nodded, continuing to watch as he curled her hair through her phone screen.

“What restaurant are you guys going to?” San asked. 

She shrugged. “I’m not sure. He wanted to keep it a surprise.” 

The older boy nodded, quickly glancing at her reflection before looking back to her hair. “You guys have been hanging out a lot.” 

Jieun thought back to all her recent hangouts with the boy. Just the night before Wooyoung had come over to their room to watch a movie with her, but surely they hadn’t been hanging out so much that it was worth pointing out?

“Making up for lost time, I guess,” she eventually answered, slight confusion in her voice at the sudden comment. 

“Did he ever tell you why?” 

The girl froze for a moment, glancing at the phone screen to see San watching her, having temporarily stopped curling her hair to gauge her reaction. After a second of hesitation, she slowly shook her head. 

“No…” she answered slowly, shaking her head immediately afterward and giving a tight-lipped smile. “But…it’s fine. He’ll tell me when he’s ready.” 

Before she could look at San’s reaction, a notification on the top of her phone screen distracted her. Jieun reached forward and grabbed her phone, opening her messages to see what she’d been sent.

Wooyoung oppa: You almost ready?

She read the message over a couple times, fingers hovering over the keyboard as she tried to decide what to say. A chuckle behind her made her raise her head despite the fact that she couldn’t see her reflection.

“I’m almost done, don’t worry,” San said, having read the message over her shoulder. 

Jieun smiled, humming as she turned back to her phone. 

Me: Yeah, I’ll be done in a bit

Without waiting for a reply, Jieun locked her phone and placed it face-down on the desk before adjusting her posture. She let out a small sigh, waiting patiently as San continued on her hair. 

A couple minutes later, San placed the straightener back down on the desk. He ran his fingers through her hair, brushing out the curls before placing her hair over her shoulders. 

“Alright, all done,” he said, taking a step back. 

Jieun stood up, walking over to the mirror to see the results. The moment she saw her reflection, a wide smile spread across her face. 

“You’re better at curling my hair than I am,” she commented, brushing a few parts of her hair. Jieun turned to the older boy, who watched her with a fond smile. “Thank you, oppa.” 

San shook his head as he walked up to her, patting her on the head before moving back to his bed. 

“You should get changed now. Don’t want to keep Wooyoung waiting too long, do we?” 

Jieun immediately nodded and without waiting, turned back and opened her drawers. She looked through her clothes for a couple seconds before picking out a few pieces and throwing them over her shoulder. With one final smile in San’s direction, Jieun retreated to the bathroom. 

She emerged a couple minutes later, wearing a white dress with a brown leather jacket over it. San watched as she walked around the corner with a sheepish smile, brushing herself off. She looked at him expectantly.

“Give us a spin, Eunnie,” he said with a grin. Jieun laughed as she walked in a circle, placing her hands on her hips. San raised his hand to give the girl a thumbs up. “Tell Wooyoung to have you back by 11.” 

She rolled her eyes lightheartedly, shaking her head at the boy. “You sound like Hongjoong-oppa.” Without waiting for a response, she reached for her bag and one of the room keys before slipping her shoes on. Before walking toward the door, she waved. “Bye, oppa.” 

“Have fun~” San sang, smirking to himself as she disappeared from sight.  

The moment he knew she was out of the room, San immediately went to his contacts and pressed on one, holding the phone up to his ear. After a couple rings, a “hello?” from the other side sounded through his phone’s speakers.

“Jongho, remember what you were telling me the other day? I believe you now.”

10 Tips for Straightening Your Hair Daily Without Causing Damage 

When one wants to keep his or her hair damage-free, straightening it daily can be a task and not an easy one. At Chilli Couture, Perth’s premium Organic Hair Salon, we help maintain healthy, full-of-life hair without giving up on sleek and polished hair. Following are ten expert tips on how to straighten your hair daily without causing harm, incorporating permanent hair straightening methods, natural hair straightener usage, and many more.

Choose the Right Tools   Invest in a good straightener with ceramic or tourmaline plates that distribute heat evenly and reduce the risk of damage. A good tool can make a big difference in keeping your hair healthy. 

Protective Pre-Styling Treatments     Always begin your hair straightening with a heat protectant. This could be in the form of a spray, cream, or serum to shield your strands from high temperatures. Here at Chilli Couture, we have various natural hair treatments to protect your hair from heat exposure and nourish it. 

Correct Temperature Settings     Never overheat. Always use the minimum temperature to get your hair straight. There’s no need to increase the heat to 230 degrees when your hair straightens at 180 degrees Celsius. 

Regular Deep Conditioning     Incorporate a deep conditioning treatment into your weekly hair care routine. This will replenish moisture and repair hair from the stress of daily heat styling. Our organic salon offers natural hair treatments that deeply nourish without using harsh chemicals.  

Permanent Hair Straightening     For those who straighten their hair every day, permanent hair straightening might be a worthwhile consideration. This treatment at Chilli Couture can significantly cut down your daily styling time and reduce heat exposure in the long run.  

Hydrate and Nourish     Keep your hair hydrated by drinking lots of water and using hydrating hair care products. Dehydrated hair is more prone to damage, so moisture is key. 

Use a Natural Hair Straightener     If one does not want to use any chemical treatment, then the natural hair straightener can be an alternative using ingredients from nature. Most of these contain elements that naturally straighten the hair without harsh chemicals. 

Avoid Repeated Heat Strokes     If straightening hair, minimise the number of times the straightener is passing over the same section. The rule should be no more than one to two times to avoid excessive heat exposure. 

Routine Trims   Regular trims in the form of cutting split ends will avoid further breakage of hair. Keeping your hair trimmed will make it look healthy and eliminate frequent straightening. 

Cool Down Period     Afterward, let the hair cool before styling or clipping it up to set your style and reduce further possible damage. 

With these simple tips, you, too, can have straight, sleek hair every day and still not have to compromise on the health of your hair. Beautiful hair is not only about styling it right but also about taking care of it well. Our experts at Chilli Couture specialise in organic and natural hair treatments and are always at hand for all your needs to achieve just the look you want without damage. Come see us today in Perth for a personal consultation and discover how our creative, organic methods will revolutionise the way you care for your hair.

How to Maintain Healthy, Shiny Hair After Visiting the Salon for Treatments and Styling

Maintaining healthy, shiny hair after visiting the salon is key to keeping your hair looking vibrant and well-nourished. Many people invest in professional treatments, coloring, and styling to achieve a polished look, but proper post-salon care is essential for lasting results. With the right routine and products, it's possible to maintain that fresh-out-of-the-salon glow for weeks to come. This guide will explore how to protect and care for hair after treatments, a valuable resource for anyone who frequents Houston Hair Salons or any salon offering professional hair services.

The Importance of Post-Salon Hair Care: Why It Matters

After receiving professional hair treatments, whether it's coloring, perming, or styling, hair can be left vulnerable. Treatments often involve chemicals or heat, which, while effective in achieving a desired look, can also weaken the hair’s natural defenses. Proper post-salon hair care helps to restore strength and resilience, preventing damage like split ends, dryness, or frizz.

The hair care routine that follows a salon visit plays a vital role in maintaining both the health and appearance of the hair. Without this, even the most expertly styled hair can lose its shine and vibrancy within days. This is why it's important to understand the specific needs of your hair post-treatment and take steps to protect and nourish it.

Choosing the Right Products to Protect and Nourish Your Hair

Selecting the appropriate hair care products is one of the most crucial steps in maintaining healthy, shiny hair after salon treatments. Using products that are formulated to protect treated hair from damage will help prolong its fresh appearance. For instance, shampoos and conditioners designed for color-treated hair help to lock in the vibrancy of the color while adding moisture and shine.

Silicone-free conditioners are often recommended, as they allow the hair to breathe while providing necessary hydration. Additionally, using a sulfate-free shampoo can help prevent the stripping away of essential oils and color. Deep conditioning masks applied weekly can further nourish the hair, replenishing moisture lost during the salon treatment.

Many professional stylists recommend leave-in conditioners or serums that offer heat protection. These products coat the hair and create a barrier against heat tools, UV rays, and environmental stressors. It's important to choose salon-recommended products that align with the specific type of treatment your hair has undergone.

Tips for Minimizing Heat Damage and Keeping Hair Shiny

Heat damage is a common concern after visiting the salon, particularly for those who style their hair frequently. Excessive use of heat styling tools like straighteners, curling irons, or blow dryers can strip the hair of moisture, leading to dullness and breakage. Minimizing the use of these tools can significantly help in maintaining the hair’s health and shine.

For those who need to style their hair with heat, it’s essential to apply a heat protectant spray or cream beforehand. These products create a protective layer over the hair, reducing the amount of direct heat that can reach the strands. Additionally, lowering the temperature on styling tools and limiting the frequency of their use can prevent unnecessary heat exposure.

Air drying the hair when possible or using a cool setting on the blow dryer are simple ways to avoid heat damage. If heat styling is a regular part of the routine, weekly deep conditioning treatments can help repair any damage and restore shine to the hair.

How to Maintain Moisture and Hydration for Healthy-Looking Hair

Maintaining adequate moisture is vital for keeping hair soft, shiny, and healthy after visiting the salon. Salon treatments, especially those involving chemicals or heat, can deplete the natural oils in the hair. This leads to dryness and frizz, which can dull the appearance of freshly treated hair.

One way to ensure the hair stays hydrated is by using hydrating hair products that contain ingredients like argan oil, coconut oil, or shea butter. These ingredients help lock in moisture and prevent the hair from becoming dry or brittle. Regular use of moisturizing masks and oils can also aid in replenishing moisture and keeping hair manageable.

Additionally, drinking enough water and eating a balanced diet with plenty of vitamins can help support hair health from the inside out. The right combination of topical treatments and healthy lifestyle habits will keep hair feeling soft and looking shiny long after a salon visit.

Regular Maintenance and Professional Advice for Long-Lasting Salon Results

To keep salon results looking fresh, regular maintenance is key. This can involve both at-home care and professional touch-ups, depending on the type of treatment received. For example, color-treated hair often requires regular toning sessions to maintain vibrancy, while perms and straightening treatments may benefit from routine conditioning treatments.

Scheduling regular trims helps eliminate split ends and prevent breakage, which can make even healthy hair appear damaged or frizzy. Stylists can provide personalized recommendations on the ideal maintenance schedule based on the individual’s hair type and the treatments they have undergone.

Following professional advice and using recommended products ensures that the hair remains strong, shiny, and well-maintained. With the right routine in place, anyone can enjoy long-lasting results from their visits to a Hair Salon Houston.
