Cheap and quick summer hair tips
1. Wash and condition correctly
“The scalp’s natural oils condition, so keep conditioner away from your roots when washing hair to avoid weighing down your locks. To be safe, start applying it at least three or four inches away from your scalp.” — Mark Townsend
“The natural oil in your scalp is the best conditioner you can get, so wash your hair every two or three days rather than daily. After a workout, shower as usual, but instead of shampooing, just wet the hair and massage your scalp with your fingers.” — Mark Townsend
- Tip: To maximize your conditioner, keep it in the refrigerator.
- Tip: You can make your own deep conditioner by mixing 1/4 cup honey with 2 Tablespoons of milk. Apply to hair, cover with a damp towel for 20-30 minutes. Wash and rinse hair.
- Spray a bit of hair spray or gel onto a fine tooth comb to quickly fix those fly aways.
- Try an eyebrow brush with a bit of gel or hair spray to fix the fly aways
- Too much product in your hair? Try simply wiping it out with a terrycloth towel. The cotton towel will absorb some of the excess product.
- Add a bit of baby powder on your comb. Run the comb through your hair focusing on the roots. Also, try using a large powder brush instead of a comb.
