- Use a Heat Protector Spray
We recommend Miracle Spray Hair Treatment from Eleven Australia as this will minimise hair damage caused by the heat emitted from styling equipment such as curlers, straighteners and blow-dryers, as the heat protectant spray adds a protective layer to your hair by sealing in moisture and smoothens the cuticle (outer layer) of your hair. - Wash Your Hair Every Third Day
Washing your hair everyday will not leave you with the soft, luscious hair of your dreams. Shampooing too often strips your hair of sebum (the natural oils produced by your scalp). Sebum helps protect your hair strands from moisture loss and washing it all away can lead to a tight dry scalp and coarse strands prone to breakage. Over time, you might even begin to notice some long-term side effects of over washing, including damaged hair and hair loss. - Use an Overnight Treatment or Coconut Oil
Coconut oil can offer your hair a more intense treatment the longer it is left in (within reason – don’t go leaving coconut oil in your hair for days!). It helps to moisturise your hair, and to prevent dandruff, and is gentle on your scalp. Most coconut oil is made from natural ingredients, meaning it tends to be safe for sensitive scalps and is less likely to cause irritation. - Use a Professional Shampoo & Conditioner
Typically, budget shampoos contain chemicals which can strip your hair of its natural oils and cause damage Basically, your hair feels soft but isn’t nourished from within! As well as chemicals which can strip your hair of their natural oils, drugstore shampoos also contain fillers which leave behind a waxy coating to counteract harsh ingredients, they contain other substances that mimic the feeling of healthy hair and “mimic” is the key word here, because they make the hair feel better without actually building integrity or health on the inside. We recommend Wella or Eleven Australia as our choice of professional shampoo and conditioner. - Try Going Heat Free For a Week
