Don’t underestimate a good brush!  There are many more options that what I grew up with.  Now you can find the perfect brush for your specific needs.  Briogeo Vegan Boar Bristle Hair Brush is one that I like to get rid of knots without pulling. 

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

Using a silicone serum really helps with frizz.  My fave is Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum.

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

Sleeping on a silk or satin pillowcase has made a huge difference in my hair. I used to wake up with knots and my ends frayed much quicker before I made the switch. I had to use a cotton pillowcase for a few nights recently and my hair was so bad every morning! I highly recommend trying them out.

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

I like to use headbands sometimes to keep my hair out of my face but without having to put it in a ponytail and possibly mess with the style. #headband

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

The best hair tip I've learned about it to only use shampoo on your scalp! Using it on your ends is too drying and isn't necessary. My hair has been so much healthier since I started doing this a few years ago.

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

I work out often with my hair in a bun, which makes it hard for me to detangle sometimes. I have started to do some deranging in the shower while my hair is still wet, and find it’s been helping reduce the amount of pulling (and time spent brushing) after I get out! I use the PATTERN by Tracee Ellis Ross Wide Tooth Comb to get out big tangles and section out my hair in the shower. I keep the mini version in my purse too! After that initial detangling is through, I use my wet brush or Verb Detangling Brush to finish the job

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

at my age my hair is getting a bit thin, so I don't wash my hair as often and use a great treatment mask a few times a month and it has made a difference. 

OUAI Treatment Mask for Fine and Medium Hair 8 oz/ 236 mL 

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

Only use as much heat needed to get the desired style, nothing hotter, and use a good heat protectant!

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

The biggest game changer for me was reading a tip to use dry shampoo at night. I now spray it on before I do my nightly routine, let it sit while I brush my teeth and wash my face, then I may or may not shake/brush it out before bed...sleeping works out 99% of any white residue for most dry shampoos, and if by chance there is some left in the morning, I can take care of it then pretty easily. It's a great way to soak up the oil without worrying about too much white stuff and without adding steps to a quick morning routine, especially for folks that are short on time in the AM!

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

I love doing this too! Especially as someone with dark hair/roots, it’s always such a pain to have to scrutinize every angle/all lighting to make sure all the white residue is gone… especially because I tend to leave myself only a few mins to get ready in the morning (i value my beauty sleep, what can I say 🤷‍♀️)

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

I love diving and travel. I have noticed my hair has been very dry. I started using Olaplex Mini No. 5 Bond Maintenance™ Conditioner 3.3 oz/ 100 mL  with the Olaplex No.4P Blonde Enhancer™ Toning Purple Shampoo 8.5 oz/ 250 mL and it has made a huge difference in how healthy my hair is.  I highly recommend adding the Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil and Olaplex No. 9 Bond Protector Nourishing Hair Serum 3 oz / 90 mL  to keep your hair in amazing condition this summer. Cheers 🤿🤿

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

I’ve tried every dry shampoo on the list and have either dealt with white powder on my clothes, not strong enough for my oily scalp, or itching (or all of the above). Living Proof Perfect hair Day (PhD) Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo 5.5 oz/ 184 mL is amazing and doesn’t leave you with a ton of buildup

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

to cut down on dry time a microfiber towel makes all the difference and surprisingly less static and frizz Aquis Lisse Luxe Long Hair Towel White/Off-white 

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

Giving your hair a break from heat and allowing your hair to air dry instead of using a blowdryer occasionally dramatically improves the health of your hair.

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

Dont wash your hair with hot water!! i started taking scorching hot showers last year and didn’t know why my hair was so damaged, i have curly hair and didn’t straighten it that much but i realized it’s my hot showers damaging my hair so now in the shower i wash my body with warm water and use First Aid Beauty FAB Faves Trio to moisturize and keep my skin glowing, i also use it for my face and it’s my favorite moisturizer, they have hypoallergenic products and my skin is extremely sensitive! For heat protection on my hair i started using the life-changing Bumble and bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Heat Protectant Leave In Conditioner Primer 8.5 oz/ 25... and my hair has never been softer, especially when i straighten it! i swear by these tips and products they are my favorite and if it works for me, it should work for everyone else. The face moisturizer really does make my skin GLOW and the b&b hair oil makes my hair look and feel amazing while protecting it from heat! i’ve gotten so many compliments:)

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

One of my favorite hacks for a super cute blowout (since I’m not too great at them using a round brush) is using my volumizing hair dryer, followed by Velcro rollers. After I take these out, I straighten up some of the kinks with a straightener and it looks so cute.

Grace Eleyae Detangling Brush  The best way to get conditioner thru your hair evenly is to use this brush while you're in the shower!

Hair Tip 😄 Dry hair?Oily Hair? Make sure your washing and rinsing your hair with warm water NOT hot. Hot water can dry out dry hair, or cause oilyhair to produce more oil 😶

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

Briogeo Vegan Boar Bristle Hair Brush keeps my hair shiny and healthy

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

Moroccanoil Moroccanoil Treatment Hair Oil This product has been an absolute GAME CHANGER for my hair. I have naturally curly hair that tends to be very dry, and this product has helped so much! I used it when my hair is straightened and curly and it is amazing for both! It keeps my hair silky and so healthy-looking when straightened, and helps SO much with frizz when my hair is curly! I’m absolutely obsessed and would 100% recommend!
