Anyway, when I'm washing my hair, I have a secret little routine, that makes my hair look shiny and great the next day! So, I thought I'd share my little secret with my fans and followers!:) And by the way, I do this in the shower, not a bath(just in case it wasn't obvious!) Remember, this is based on MY experience, so I'll tell you what my hairs like, and if you can relate then this should work for you, though I'd imagine it would work for anyone, really! My hair is quite thin, and if I condition the roots, my roots go quite greasy (yuck!)
1. Rinse your hair with hot water, so it is soaked.
2. Then, apply some shampoo. I like to use either Pantene Pro-V or L'oreal Elvive products, but whatever your mum buys from the supermarket will do;) Rub the shampoo into your scalp, before rinsing thoroughly.
3. Next it's conditioning time! Again, I use either Pro-V or Elvive. Only condition half way down your head, as though there is an imaginary line going from the bottom of ear lobe to ear lobe. Wait about 3 minutes before rinsing even more thoroughly! Its important not to leave ANY conditioner in!:)
4. Next, I like to use a hair mask. My favourite is the House of Holland hair mask, but recently, I bought the Herbal Essences on from Dealz (£1.20) which works fine as well! I apply the mask the same as conditioner and wait for 3 minutes as well, before rinsing it out:)
5. Then, I get out of the shower, and towel dry my hair, but only so its not dripping! I dont like wringing, towel drying or squeezing my hair to hard, because it will damage it. I then wait for about 10-20 minutes.
6. Then, I rub a hazelnut size drop of L'Oreal Studio Hot Straight straightening cream, rub it into my hair, and leave my hair to dry naturally over night.
7. The next morning, I paddle brush my hair and brush in Vo5 Heat Protectant Styling Spray, and straighten my hair at 180-200*c (sorry about the star in the *c, I couldn't get the correct circle!)
8. I then spray some hairspray onto my brush and brush through, as my hair goes static in the winter.
9. Next, I use just one spritz of Avons Advance Techniques Daily Shine Mirror Shine Spray, and rub it into my hands,before sliding my hands down the side of my head to give my hair some glossy shine!:)
10. Finish with a cute hair accessory or a different parting and off you go!
I really hope this works on lots of other hair types! It seems like a long, complicated procedure but I do it every two days and it only gets easier!:D:D
