Have you ever looked at your hair and just felt nothing? It doesn’t look bad, it doesn’t look good, it’s simply there. You may feel fine about your hair, but you’re looking to level up. We’ve all been there. Here are some tips for taking your hair game to the next level.
-
Exfoliate your scalp
Just like the skin on your face, your scalp could benefit from some exfoliation. Dead skin build-up can cause dry scalp and dandruff problems. Scalp exfoliation clears away that dead skin and removes any buildup of old product. This helps with hair growth and achieving the perfect shiny hair look. Also, like face products, you can either use a physical or chemical scalp exfoliant. Simply put some of the product directly on your scalp and rub in small circular motions. You can then wash away this product with your shampoo. Exfoliate your scalp to breathe some life back into your roots.

Choose a treatment shampoo
Your shampoo is your chance to correct any flaws you see in your hair. This is a personalized step based on your hair’s tendencies. Based on your hair type and hair issues, you can choose a shampoo that hydrates or one that targets an oily scalp. If you struggle with dandruff, you can choose a shampoo that handles that. Instead of choosing any old shampoo off the shelf, put some thought into what results you want to see in your hair. Choose a shampoo that works for you and your hair so you can realize your dreams of the perfect natural do.

Use a silicone-free conditioner
If you want a shiny head of hair, pick up your conditioner and check the ingredients list. Conditioners with silicone in them create a product build-up on your hair over time. This leads to dull, dry, and eventually damaged hair. While they may create a silky feeling in the shower, it is stripping your hair once you leave. Instead, opt for a conditioner without this pesky ingredient on the list so your hair can retain its moisture and stay strong and healthy.

Use a hair mask and/or leave-in conditioner
For your hair to be as luscious as it can possibly be, consider using a hair mask or leave-in conditioner. Both of these products can help hydrate your hair and leave it feely silky smooth after your wash. They also help reduce breakage when combing your hair after your shower. (And please, comb your hair when it is wet. Put down the brush.) Depending on your hair type, choose a mask or conditioner that isn’t too heavy or too lightweight. Experiment with some options until you find your perfect weight product. Find your perfect mask or leave-in will make your hair the best it can be.
These are some simple steps that can enhance the look of your hair and promote strong hair growth. By putting a little extra effort into your hair routine, you can reap the benefits of shiny, healthy, and happy hair.
