Try heatless overnight curls instead of using heat like curling irons all the time 

[jaslentz]

Use a scalp scrub to exfoliate and get rid of all the product buildup once a week/ every two weeks! 

[xtianpauly]

Started implementing the Briogeo Be Gentle, Be Kind™ Avocado + Kiwi Mega Moisture Superfoods Hair Mask 8.0 oz/ 240 mL after shampooing and WOW! Not only does it smell delicious, but I have noticed a big change on the texture and look of my hair. It’s so softening and has helped a lot in reducing irritation on my scalp as well. I have already got my friends and family using this product too, that’s how much I love it! Worth the extra splurge and you’ll notice results after using for 1-2 weeks.

[maddiexbeauty]

my hair is so important to me! make sure to wash your hair once a week so it absorb all its natural oils. my favorite hair line from sephora is #olaplex it has done wonders for my hair. Olaplex No. 9 Bond Protector Nourishing Hair Serum 3 oz / 90 mL is my favorite. 

[Muneca836]

Have thin hair but feeling a little dry? Prep your wet hair with the bumble and bumble spray....spray all over hair and then follow with the Kerastase oil to your ends. Remember, you can always add more oil but you can't take it away so,  take it easy on the oil. After styling your hair will be silky and shiny but still have volume. 

[SuzieeSue]

I've used products that contain milk and a placenta mask growing up. It gave my hair that silky shine and length. Later for soothing the scalp, actual aloe vera plant and apple cider. Old school.

[CynthieLu]

Hit tip 😄

I love this homemade hair mask recipie

All you need is

One egg yolk

Teaspoon honey

Extra Virgin olive oil ( whatever amount you need for your hair length)

I warm the oil and honey (not hot) and stir in the yolk and apply it to my hair and cover with a shower cap. After 45-90 minutes I shampoo it out twice (2x) and just do a very little conditioner afterwards and cool water rinse.  Leaves my hair so unbelievably shiny

[TwinkleToes92]

Silk/satin pillowcases to reduce frizz/hair breakage, diffuser for curls, and silk scrunchies!! Slip Small Slipsilk™ Scrunchies Cheetah, Rose Gold, Maroon 

[Foolish4Beauty]

I wanted a balayage with black to platinum! I know I'm crazy ! In short, I did get it,  but my hair definitely took damage. I decided over a year later to just dye my hair back to black.  I love styling my hair in beach curls daily and the heat can be super damaging! I tried a bunch of products, but Olaplex No. 7  has worked wonders for me! Its a little pricey, but it lasts!! It repairs, strengthens, and hydrates all hair types. It truly increases shine, softness, and the best part is it has heat protection up to 450°F/ 230°C!!!!! My breakage is little to none after a month of using this product! I'll be purchasing this whole line. Everyone is different but this works miracles for my hair. For reference, I'm 31, my hair is wavy, full and thick, color treated hair, and previous bleach damage.

Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil 

[sister13]

My hair is long and has a tendency to get tangly in a ponytail, but I twist it up into a bun with a chopstick or a pen and it keeps it out of the way and untangled! 

[KokoMilkshake]

Mix Olaplex No. 6 Bond Smoother 3.3 oz/ 100 mL & Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil and apply on damp hair before blowdrying for a frizz free smooth blow dry. If diffusing hold blowdryer from the top of your head pointing down towards curls and lightly scrunch ❤️

[miaPino]

I have long, thick hair, so I used one of my favorite coconut oils for 30 minutes, Kerastase original Hair oil, and my Dyson super sonic hair dryer.

[audreyb20002]

I’ve had really damaged hair from bleaching it blonde every month, my best hair tips for damaged hair is to use oribe hair masks, they’re insane!!! I used them all over my hair and ends ( everything except roots) It worked wonders on my hair and they’ve grown about 3-5 inches since 

[AriannaRice]

it's so simple, but I have an aloe plant that I make a hair mask at home with! when I want a little extra moisture and nourishment, i'll add honey and leave it on for 15 minutes before shampooing out ♥

[CynthieLu]

@AriannaRice that's a really great tip, thank you for sharing

[rowrowforce]

FOR ALL THE BLEACHED AND DAMAGED HAIR GIRLIES. The best hair treatment I found was K18 Biomimetic Hairscience Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask 1.7 oz/ 50 mL. Seriously better than olaplex. My hair was like straw but now it’s silky smooth again. 

[silvyta]

My hair used to break off easily but ever since I started adding a couple of drops of The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Hydrating Serum once a day, my hair feels fuller and way healthier. 

[rissajmua]

Deep conditioning weekly is a game changer for curly hair! Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair!™ Deep Conditioning Hair Mask 32 oz/ 946 mL  is one of my faves!

[CynthieLu]

@rissajmua yeees that one is so good! I love thier Briogeo Be Gentle, Be Kind™ Avocado + Kiwi Mega Moisture Superfoods Hair Mask 8.0 oz/ 240 mL it leaves my damaged hair so silky and shiny

[CEITIHBT]

adwoa beauty Blue Tansy Clarifying Gel Shampoo 14 oz/ 414 mL 

This shampoo cleanses so well and leaves my hair feeling moisturized and super clean. 

[katemakep]

I have super curly hair, that is very prone to matting and tangles. I swear by the Pureology Strengthening + Color Protecting Hair Kit to help my hair detangle. The conditioner has more slip that any conditioner I’ve tried.
