Silky, long hair can be so satisfying to look at. They make you want to reach out and just stroke the soft strands, but how do celebrities, like Kylie Jenner, achieve such soft hair? We’ve all used our flat irons, blow dryers, and curling wands, but they’ve only made our hair looks a little lackluster, so what else can we do? We listed some great tips and tricks that you can do to help get softer hair!
Hair Treatment
What if I tell you washing and drying your hair can make a difference in its texture? After you shower, instead of drying your hair with a towel, use a smooth cotton shirt and only squeeze out the water. Don’t try rubbing it out because then you might cause frizz and tangle your hair, causing breakage when brushing later.
Before you go to sleep, tie your hair in a very loose ponytail to prevent your hair from going all over the place when you sleep, especially if you move a lot. That way, when you wake up, your hair won’t get tangled in knots and you will have an easier time brushing. If you can afford it, replace your pillowcases with silk pillowcases! It might take some time getting used to the different texture, but the silky material is not as rough on your hair as cotton. But while doing all of this might help improve your hair texture, the ingredients in your shampoo and conditioner will make a huge difference in how your hair looks. That’s why we’ll list out some great natural ingredients that you should look for in your shampoo and conditioner!
Natural Ingredient #1: Jojoba
Jojoba oil has some great benefits for your hair because it’s an oily composition, so it can be used as a moisturizer. It’s great to use in a natural conditioner to give your hair the protection it needs against dryness, breakages, and split ends. The oil also moisturizes the scalp and may be a great dandruff remedy.
Natural Ingredient #2: Nettle
Nettle is a great natural ingredient to have in your shampoo because it helps in combating hair loss while also helping with hair regrowth. Because nettle leaves are rich in silica and sulphur, it helps in making hair shinier and healthier. Nettle is also a great ingredient to fight off dandruff.
Natural Ingredient #3: Quinoa
Quinoa contains high protein, which helps to gently cleanse and nourish your hair. It’s a great ingredient to find in a natural shampoo. Its amino acids help repair damage to the hair shaft while its proteins coat, strengthen, and protect your hair. Quinoa can also aid in hair growth and preventing breakages at the same time because it’s packed with vitamins and minerals.
