Your 1-2-3 Step Hair Routine
Even though many people think that just doing your hair periodically will do, there is a huge difference between hair maintenance and hair thriving. Just like our skin, and body, hair has to be taken care of on a regular basis in order to reach its best potential. Here are a few steps it takes to create a hair routine.
1. Establish Your Wash Day Some people prefer to wash once a week while others can go longer. This is especially true when it comes to maintaining protective styles and after heat styling. At the end of the day, it is your choice and preference in how long or how short the wash times for your hair is. The most important thing however is to remain consistent. Otherwise, you stand the chance of falling behind and getting off track your routine.
2. Condition or Deep Condition Depending on the moisture balance of your hair. You may want to deep condition every time you wash or exchange for a regular conditioner. Conditioning is a must when it comes to building a hair routine. Conditioning the hair helps it to retain moisture and give moisture to thirsty strands. Depending on the health of your hair, a steam or hot oil treatment is also recommended.
3. Use a Leave-In with an Optional Heat Protectant No matter how moisturizes your deep conditioner is, leave-in for textured hair is a must. In order to keep that moisture in your hair until wash day. If you are planning on using heat on your hair, a heat protectant is also a non-negotiable. Using a heat protectant protects you hair from heat damage and can also help with yielding sleek results and making your style last longer.
At the end of the day, there is no one size fits all for a routine. These are just the basics to get you started.
