Hair care routine

About three years ago I had my hair cut to my shoulders and I hated it so ever since then I've been growing it out.  It's now pretty long and I think it's in quite good condition haha so I thought I'd share my hair care routine :)  I don't use many products as I find it weighs my hair down and most of them are unnecessary anyway.

I wash my hair every other day and usually use shampoo/conditioner for dry/damaged hair.  Even though mine isn't dry or damaged, it has been bleached and dyed a lot in the past so it's good for the added moisture that these types of shampoo give your hair.  At the moment I'm using Herbal Essences 'Hello Hydration'.  If you flip your hair upside down and massage it into the scalp it is supposed to stimulate your hair follicles and make it grow faster.  I only apply the conditioner to the bottom 2/3 of my hair to avoid it building up at the roots and making my hair look greasy.

About once a week (when I remember) I use this organic moroccan argan oil restorative treatment which is basically a deep conditioner that you leave on for 5 minutes and then wash out.  It makes my hair super soft and I love it but I am forever forgetting to use it haha.

After I've washed my hair, I brush it through with a wide toothed comb.  Your hair is easily damaged when it's wet which is why it's best to use a wide toothed comb rather than a regular brush.  Also, brush starting from the bottom and work your way up to prevent knots forming. I then spray Tresemmé heat protection spray all over and brush through again to evenly distribute it through my hair.

Another product I use after this is moroccan argan oil.  This is a miracle product, it makes my hair feel so soft and look really healthy.  I apply a small amount to the bottom half of my hair, focusing on the ends.

If I know I will be styling my hair properly when I'm going out somewhere nice for example, I will apply the Bumble and Bumble thickening spray although my hair is quite thick already so I don't usually bother with this step on an everyday basis.

I try not to use too much heat on my hair so I usually wash my hair at night to avoid blow drying it.  Since my hair is thick it takes quite a while to dry though so I occasionally have to blow dry it slightly to get rid of the worst of the moisture.  Then I'll either leave it loose or put it in a loose plait to keep it out of the way overnight.  And that's my hair care routine! I am not an expert in any of this it's just what's worked for me :) Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed :)

Also sorry for the lighting in the photos, the weather was awful today! x
