Love is in the air, but do you love your hair? The shops are chock full of yummy valentines treats and huge bouquets, but unfortunately sometimes we all forget to love our hair.
Beautiful, strong and healthy hair needs tender loving attention too, any hair type can be luscious, shiny, thick, bouncy and flowing given a little time, patience and affection.
Take Time to Tailor
Hair types are different and varied, which may mean you need to experiment a little to find the right shampoo and conditioner for you. Always invest in good products- read the ingredients of the products your testing and you’ll learn to tailor the products to the needs of your hair. Avoid products which strip moisture usually those containing high concentrations of sodium laureth sulphate and avoid heavy creams if your hair is very fine or limp. Style Union have a fantastic range of products on the site to suit all hair types including Kerastase Resistance Bain Volumactive for Fine hair and Kerastase Lait Vital for dry/normal hair.
Too Hot Too Handle
Over heating your hair is a huge no no, try to limit the time your hair is exposed to extreme heat. I know that’s easier said that done when you have really unruly hair and have to be out the door in five mins. Try seeing heat as a treat, use the straighteners when you have a lovely special night out and always use heat protector serum, creams or spray to protect it before such as Kerastase Resistance Ciment Thermique for weak and damaged hair and smoothing serums or creams after such as L’Oreals Techni Art Gloss Control Plus for all hair types.
Don’t Play Rough
Rumbling your hair, pulling at it, tying it up in tight scratchy bobbles will break it to bits, gently handle your hair at all times- imagine it’s made of very fine lace, you wouldn’t pull vintage lace on a wedding dress would you? Well the same goes for your hair. To strengthen your hair and protect it use Redken’s Extreme Range for weak and damaged hair or L’Oreals Serie Expert Force Vector Range to help strengthen hair both fantastic products that make for strong locks.
Damage Limitation
Like a Rose your hair needs a quick prune every now and again to ensure the damaged areas are taken away, when hair splits it goes right up your hair shaft, it doesn’t stop until all your hair is split, so going without that little inch snip now will mean you may have to get a lot more lopped off.
Maintenance and Moisture
Maintain your hair with excellent products and pamper it with intense hydration on a weekly basis, like your weekly face mask your hair deserves extra special help and treatment, hair losses moisture quickly like your skin and needs the support. Try Kerastase’s Nutritive Masquintense for soft, supple and glossy hair or L’Oreal’s Techni Art Crystal Gloss for a luminous, glass-like shine.
So this Valentines don’t forget to care for your hair, make sure to treat it with kindness and respect, shield it from harmful nasties, indulge its individual whims and you too can look forward to glowing gorgeous results.Go to Style Union to treat yourself…
