Never apply a mask( though the directions usually say to work it from roots till the ends!) from the root to tips instead just try to keep it two thirds from the tips to avoid an oily scalp. Believe me you can go way more days without the greasy hair coming in.! 

[isk8717]

Dry hair -completely- before straightening to avoid heat damage and achieve shiny, straight locks! Also - use a heat protectant. I like the Bumble and bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Starter Set !

[LunaaG]

Best hair tip would be using rosemary oil to promote growth and bring life back into your hair. its a game changer

[ather]

When I need to detox my hair I love reaching for OUAI Detox Shampoo  it definitely brings my hair back to life and cleans away all the extra build up! It’s gentle enough on my hair! 

[My3Shenoy]

Oil your hair with coconut oil, wrap it with a shower cap and wash after an hour!!! Instant smooth hair that is nourished and happy

I like to make my hair bands out of my fabric scraps. This way my hair bands are never too tight and they are cute. 

[gnomeee]

Technically, you can use any perfume as hair perfume.

[curlychiquita]

A good vitamin is important for hair health as you get older. I take a good daily multivitamin. I've also used HUM Nutrition Killer Nails® Hair & Nail Strength Supplement with Biotin 

[Katrynaa]

The amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo helps me extend the life of my hair between washes. My scalp becomes very oily and my hair would sit flat after one day. But a little bit of spray can help with volume, texture and your overall scent.

[rykk]

Using #LivingProof frizz products... especially the weightless spray on my dry second day hair. It fixes my frizz instantly and smells amazing ❤️

putting coconut oil in my hair before washing it!

[yazzyslime]

Deep conditioning once a week is a must in my weekly routine! I love the @Olaplex No. 8 deep conditioner. 

[telephus]

I stopped washing my hair every day and instead wash every other day.  It keeps it so much healthier and a lot less frizzy.

[mayreeloo]

Finding a hairstyle that was easy to maintain on my own has made things much easier.

[caramelicious]

I noticed that my hair had been a little damaged after bleaching and tight hairstyles so I started a recovery hair journey. I got a few trims, dyed my hair dark and began weekly deep conditioning treatments. I heat style my hair once a month using the Dyson Dyson Airwrap™ Styler Complete Long and the Dyson Corrale™ Hair Straightener and they do not damage my hair. It’s been growing out so healthy and feels so much softer, all because of a little more care , effort and loving attention.

For an itchy scalp I use Apple cider vinegar shampoo and rinse with diluted apple cider vinegar.  I leave it in and do not rinse it out.  An added bonus is the shine!

[chelsweea]

A highly absorbent towel helps my hair air dry so much faster. 

[Dav3004]

I have oily hair and my scalp is prone to build-up and recently I started using the The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner 8 oz/ 240 mL for my scalp after massaging it. It has help with my build-up and I would recommend but be careful because it is a strong exfoliate and can sting and/or irritate your scalp.  

[alexusdt]

As someone who tends to straighten her hair a lot, I love using Moroccan oil. The oil helps keep your ends healthy & hydrated. It’s best to use after your shower when your hair is damp. 
Moroccanoil Moroccanoil Treatment Light Hair Oil 

[rafferoo]

Use The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner 8 oz/ 240 mL on your scalp 30 minutes before you wash your hair once biweekly to FINALLY get rid of frustrating dandruff!!

[JiJi1993]

I hit hair jackpot recently

- satin pillows and hair cover for bed

- washing with cold water

- pre shower day oiling hair at bedtime

- brushing while soaking curls in a mask watered down to keep from drying while applying nizoral to scalp to reduce any buildip/dandruff

- AIR DRY ONLY ! no heat!

fav product to brush through 

Olaplex No. 8 Bond Intense Moisture Hair Mask 3.3 oz/ 100 mL
