3 Basic Hair Care Hacks

Hello, Hackies, we are going to talk about our best asset (Of course, not leaving behind our best assets that it's our personality, but… you get it) and a the same time our worst nightmare in our worst day…. Our Hair.

What can I say that you don’t know by now? Us girls are obsessed with our hair,  always wanting it to look shining but no grease, tame but not flat, fluffy but no freezy, long but without dead ends, with curls, straight, etc, etc,etc….

Like I say sometimes is a full-time job, look how we wanted (Even though we are beautiful as we are right now, so feel the pretty confidence of yourself, cause new flash, your beautiful inside and out.)

Although, our hair its one of the most precious things we girls have, we always treat it badly, how so? Well, we put it in extreme heat, with brushing it when it's wet, we dye it, we don’t eat healthily and we don’t drink enough water... So I'm going to give 20 hacks that with help you take care of your hair without expending lots of money and without losing so much time...

11. Eat Healthy and Drink Water. 

• Remember that we reflect what we eat and what we drink, if we always eat greasy fast food, our body it’s not going to obtain all the vitamins and minerals we need to make our hair and nails to grow faster and healthier and our skin it's going to be papery thin and susceptible to easy damage.
•  Our daily diet should include generous proportions of fruits and vegetables, drink 6 to 7 glasses of water and exercise (AND I'm not talking about an excessive and exhausting workout routine because I'm going to admit I'm a lazy one soo..)

2. Protect it against Heat!

• Curler, flat iron, blow dryer, etc… These are the enemies of our hair, but like say it’s a necessary evil to stylish it, so every time your going to use any hot tool, dose your hair with a healthy amount of heat protector and try to not use the highest temperature, so you can avoid excessive damage, that later resumes into having to trim your hair more to get rid of split ends.  
• When we are on the beach, maintain your hair moisturiser with your hair care moisturiser of choice, always looking that have alcohol so it won't cause more damage with the sun.

83. Do not wash your hair every day.

Ok, I know this is a little bit complicated because not every girl has the same hair type. so I'm going to give a hack depending on every hair type.

•  Greasy Hair: Greasy hair always demands a great amount of care because it can look shinier than what we call healthy and tends to get a foul smell if you don´t shower it daily. (So if you have this type of hair this hacks does not include you) but if you are in a hurry and you need to tame that greasy beast (HA HA, just kidding), you can use a dry shampoo, baby powder and even cornstarch ( yeah yeah your read right cornstarch) on your roots, massaging it into your scalp with gentle movements. ( If you want to know more about natural ways to tame a greasy hair comment bellow GREASY FESTIVAL!)

•  Normal Hair: you should wash your hair every two days, putting shampoo only on your scalp, never on your ends( I REPEAT DO NOT USE ON YOUR ENDS) because the ends of our hair are the driest part of your hair given that the natural oils and vitamins tend to not reach regularly, so if you use shampoo on them, you are probably damaging it more.
• Use conditioner from your middle of your hair towards your ends, do not use it on your roots because it will cause them to look greasier.
• Optional: You can always use a hair mask, for extra moisturiser

• Dry Hair: You could do exactly the same as if you have a Normal Hair, but you should wash it two to three days or use the method of the cold shower.
• Taking a cold shower means that you wet your hair and massage your scalp with your fingers without using any shampoo and then you use your regular conditioner.
• After shower, you could use some leave on conditioner to prevent breakage and split ends and a wide tooth comb.
