Use a daily leave-in moisturizer!

[BeagleBeagle]

To curl my hair quickly in the morning, I put my hair in a ponytail on top of my head, curl my hair, take out the ponytail holder and I have perfect curls. 

[kristylynn37]

Always use a conditioner and try to not use a blow dryer or straightener regular because the heat damages your hair!

[divajesique]

I love using amika Blockade Heat Protectant Serum 1.7 oz/ 50 mL to protect my hair from the heat of my daily blowdry! It smells so good and keeps my hair from getting fried! 

[MvLL]

If dealing with blemishes at hairline, try a Shampoo with Tea Tree in it. My fave is T-Joe's (a dupe of Giovanni's). And don't apply Conditioner on scalp, just concentrate that on ends for a couple of weeks til blemishes are gone.

[gaga18]

My hair tip is to use a wide toothed comb or a detangling brush to brush your hair. Brush from mid-way down to the ends of the hair to not tug at the hair when getting through tangles!

[missjeanie]

A good hair mask a few times a week!  I have waist length hair and it gets quite dry on the ends.  I use a good hair mask at least a few times a week, while I have several favourites... the scent on the dae Deep Conditioning Treatment Hair Mask Travel 3oz/ 90mL is pushing it to my loves of late!

[faeriegirl]

Another tip is to invest in a great quality blow dryer. My favorite is Drybar Buttercup Blow-Dryer 

[curlychiquita]

I tried the Kérastase Chroma Absolu High Shine Gloss Treatment for Color-Treated Hair 7.1 oz/ 210 mL and it definitely added shine, but my ends did feel dry on the 2nd day.  Next time I'll use it immediately after doing a deep conditioning treatment.

[Jakima]

CONSISTENCY IS KEY!!! The most important thing for you hair is to keep the same routine and practice it regularly. I noticed that my hair flourished when I was consistent with my wash days and styling. 

[Loridee3]

I swear by the Olaplex Mini No. 4 Bond Maintenance™ Shampoo 3.3 oz/ 100 mL ….leaves my hair soft. Not dry.  

[neeeeeesh]

Melanin hair care leave in really helped keep my hair moisturized during my protective styles. Water first, then leave in, then a favorite butter. A little goes a long way.  Melanin Haircare Multi-Use Softening Leave In Conditioner 

[mimipsu]

I agree. I use dry shampoo in-between washes and I think it helps my color last longer and keeps my hair healthy.

[HSebastian]

Aim to use heat styling tools less. I cut my usage to once a week and have seen a dramatic improvement in the overall health of my hair!

[Guessgal]

@SephoraBIC My tip of the day is to always use a heat protectant before curling or straightening your hair. I like the Bumble and bumble Mini Bb. Heat Shield Thermal Protection Mist 2 oz/ 60 mL 

[greeneyedgirl107]

Use a satin lined cap like Grace Eleyae The Original Slap | Satin Lined Cap Grey 

[CynthieLu]

Hair Tip 😄 Scalp Health. A healthy scalp helps you achieve more manageable and healthy tresses. My scalp loves The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density 2 oz/ 60 mL 

There are so many scalp oils to try depending on your hairs needs.  GUERLAIN Abeille Royale Scalp & Hair Youth Oil in Serum 1.6 oz/ 50 mL

 The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Hyaluronic Acid Scalp Serum 60ml 

[campbellsnow]

Amika and Briogeo products help so much with dandruff and dryness! Make my hair look so shiny too!

[huskernaz]

Best brush ever to detangle long wet hair #Sephora Collection x Wet Brush Luxe      Perfect for the beach or the lake.

[mrscole131]

PATTERN by Tracee Ellis Ross Mini Styling Cream for Curly &Coily Hair 3 oz/ 88.7 mL is perfect for my curls when I travel

[chelsweea]

A good scalp massager helps a lot. SEPHORA COLLECTION Silicone Scalp Massager
