(But I want THIS)

(Geez, THIS too)

I've always been obsessed with my hair. I've experimented on a lot of things that temporarily worked for my locks, grow, cut, color, treat. I gave into the hype of "treatments" and whatnot and done shitload of bad stuff to it that I now regret. Whatever, it's all in the past, I'm leaving it all behind. But, I'm still in the process of "experimenting" on a nice hair color which is pretty nasty. I've gotten used to a mixture of reds and browns for my hair. I'm loving it, I personally feel awesome whenever I see my new hair color, haha. Anyway, my focus now is on how to rehabilitate my colored hair and make it healthier.


I'm happy that my hair's thicker and healthier now. I stopped wasting money on treatments that nearly killed my hair. Instead, I eat healthier, drink tons of water, moisturize my hair most especially the roots, as much as possible avoid hot tools, and air dry it than use blowdryer. Aside from those I've mentioned already, I'm gonna list down tips and do's and dont's when it comes to hair care.


DO
1. Invest in a good haircut. I remember cutting my hair really short just because the guy who was supposed to "trim" it cut it too short for my liking. But, I noticed later on that my hair was growing thicker, healthier, and split ends were gone. Plus, it wasn't hard to maintain since it was already healthy.
2. Use the correct products. Just because Eva Longoria uses it, doesn't mean it's applicable to your hair type. Make sure that the products you use are suited and designed for your specific hair type.
3. As much as possible, dry hair naturally. Using a towel, gently pat hair to remove excess water instead or rubbing it hard.
4. Trim hair every 4 to 6 week at least.


DON'T
1. Brush hair when it's still wet. Hair is at its weakest when it's still wet. Instead of using a brush for wet hair, use a wide-toothed comb to untangle and remove excess water from hair. Start brushing from roots to scalp.
2. Overexpose hair to heat/sunlight. 
3. Tie hair too tightly. It cause hair shaft to stretch, break, and split.


TIP
1. Instead of expensive salon treatments, use coconut oil to get vibrant hair, strengthen, and give your locks a boost.
2. I don't directly shampoo my roots. I only shampoo my scalp. I let excess shampoo just go down on its own. But I do use conditioner on my roots than my scalp since my hair is naturally icky and oily. I just use the excess conditioner for my scalp. haha!


So, that's it for now. I shall see you on my next blog post.


Ta-ta for now!
