You just left the salon. Your hair feels amazing, looks shiny, and bounces with every step. You wish this fresh, perfect feeling could last forever. While time doesn’t stand still, you can make that salon-fresh look stay much, much longer. It’s all about giving your hair a little love and using the right tricks at home.
The following tips will keep that wonderful post JBR salon glow going strong.
Sleep on a silk pillowcase:
Your cotton pillowcase can be rough on your hair while you sleep. It creates friction, which can lead to frizz and breakage. Switching to a smooth silk or satin pillowcase is a good option. The smooth surface lets your hair glide easily as you toss and turn. This simple swap helps you wake up with smoother hair and your style still intact.
Wash your hair less often:
Washing your hair every day strips it of its natural oils. These oils keep your hair hydrated and shiny. Try to stretch the time between your washes. On days you don’t wash, use a dry shampoo to soak up any excess oil at the roots. Your hair will hold its style better and maintain its natural softness for longer.
Use lukewarm water:
A hot shower might feel relaxing, but it’s not great for your hair. Hot water can dry out your strands and make your color fade faster. When it’s time to wash, turn the temperature down. Rinse your hair with lukewarm or even cool water. This helps to seal the hair cuticle, locking in moisture and leaving your hair extra glossy.
Be gentle with wet hair:
Hair is most fragile when it’s wet. Rubbing it aggressively with a rough towel can cause damage and create frizz. Instead, treat your wet hair with care. Gently squeeze out the extra water using a soft, microfiber towel or an old cotton t-shirt. This method is much kinder and helps protect your hair’s health and smoothness.
Protect your hair from heat:
You use heat tools to style your hair, but that heat can cause harm over time. Always use a heat protectant spray before you blow-dry, curl, or straighten your hair. This product creates a protective barrier between your hair and the hot tool. It helps prevent damage and keeps your hair looking and feeling healthy.
