Back to school hairstyles should be healthy!
Since summer has its ways of fading, drying out and damaging your hair, now is the time to spend a little more effort getting your hair back to health. It will pay off to take a little bit of time to do these things for the health of your hair. If you swim in salt water or a pool you should use a clarifying shampoo and moisturize your hair to get it healthy, shiny, and more vibrant. Great looking back to school hairstyles start with healthy hair! When hair is dull, dry and damaged looking, no matter how much time you try camouflaging it by styling it, you still have dull, dry damaged looking hair. Here’s a routine that will get your hair in its best shape possible for whatever back to school hairstyles you choose to wear!
- Use a clarifying shampoo once or twice a week if needed, to rid your hair of product buildup.
- Use a deep hair conditioning treatment once a week, after clarifying your hair. (Joico K-Pak Deep-Penetrating Reconstructor was voted best deep conditioner at Stylists Choice Awards).
- Use a shower cap or saran wrap and towel to generate heat, leave it in your hair for at least 20 minutes in order to penetrate the hair shaft more deeply. A hood dryer is a great way to deliver heat when doing a deep conditioning treatment.
- Add moisture if you have dry hair, by using a good hair moisturizing conditioner or moisturizing leave-in hair conditioner. (PureOlogy Hydrate Conditioner
was also a Stylists Choice Awards winner)
- Add protein if your hair is lifeless. That is a hair conditioner with collagen and elastin which adds a slight feel of thickness to the hair. (Try Frederic Fekkai Protein RX Reparative Conditioner
)
Back to school hairstyles should work with your hair type!
Keep it simple – Your back to school hairstyle should not be a style that requires a lot of work before going out the door. Instead, the hairstyle you wear should work with your hair type and not against it. Getting a hairstyle that works with the natural grain of your hair will give you more easy styling options.
Unless you are very talented with styling your hair, a big hairstyle change may mean significantly more time spent upfront in your styling routine each morning. Who needs this kind of stress when you’re pressed for time? Consider saving the new hairstyle change until after you are into your new back to school routine. If you want to make a hairstyle change, remember less-is-more. A small change like wearing bangs or no bangs can make a huge difference in your look without a lot of fuss.
