Avoid washing your hair too much and choose the right shampoo
Washing your hair every day removes its natural moisture and can make it lose its texture. When washing, use cool water. If the weather is too cold, you can use lukewarm water to clean your scalp and hair instead of using hot water.
Use a gentle shampoo that does not contain sulfates or silicones that can weigh down your hair and cause it to break and fall out. You should also avoid artificial fragrances and excessive lathering. Use shampoo to clean the roots of your hair and your scalp, rather than just the ends. Conversely, use conditioner or hair masks only on the ends of your hair.
Avoid using high heat when blow-drying your hair
Excessive blow-drying can make your hair dry and brittle, especially for hippie hair. It’s best to let your hair air dry naturally. Specifically, use a towel to gently remove excess water from your hair and then wrap your hair in the towel.
If you still want to use a blow dryer, choose the cool setting or a moderate heat setting instead of the highest heat setting. Additionally, consider buying a hair dryer with ion technology to better protect your hair.
Use hair oil for hair care
Hair oil not only provides nutrients for healthy hair but also helps maintain hairstyles for longer. For curly hippie hair that has been exposed to heat and chemicals, choose natural oils that are rich in vitamin E and fatty acids. These fatty acids help lock in moisture on your hair. That’s how natural oils control frizzy hair. Massage your scalp to improve blood circulation and promote hair growth.
Use hair masks
You can try making hair masks using bananas, avocados, aloe vera, beer… Or you can search for high-quality hair masks on the market to keep your hippie hair shiny and smooth. Alternatively, you can consider using hair masks combined with essential oils.
To keep your hair curly without appearing dry, brittle, or split ends, you need to invest time in proper hair care. Remember not to blow-dry your hair at high temperatures and choose a suitable shampoo and conditioner. With these steps, your hippie hair will look as beautiful as if it had been professionally styled regularly.
