“The Ultimate Guide to Luscious Locks: 4 Steps to Hair Heaven”

Applying hair oil is an indispensable step in Miss Do Thi Ha’s beauty routine.

Taking care of your hair is essential. However, it’s also important to do it correctly to achieve smooth and shiny locks. Here are some tips, techniques, and product recommendations from hairstylists to help you achieve your best hair.

1. Rinse with Lukewarm Water

Using a moisturizing shampoo is the most basic step. It helps restore hair during washing and is ideal for softening the hair. Additionally, the water temperature should be lukewarm, and it’s best to avoid rinsing your hair directly with cold water.

2. Apply Hair Conditioner to Wet Hair

This is a secret trick used by hairstylists. You may have noticed that after getting your hair washed at a salon, the stylist will gently towel-dry your hair and apply a conditioner all over before styling. This is why your hair feels softer and looks more vibrant after a salon wash.

Hair conditioners contain more oil and won’t be absorbed as quickly as serums. They can nourish and soften the hair, preventing dryness and tangles. It’s best to apply conditioner when your hair is damp for better absorption.

3. Use Hair Oil on Dry Hair

Whether you’re by the pool, at the beach, or in the city, don’t underestimate the power of hair oil. Apply it in the morning, right after you wake up, and before brushing your hair to add volume. The most effective ingredients to look for are Vitamin E and Argan oil, which can soften, nourish, and add shine to your hair.

Opt for hair oil products that contain SPF to protect your hair from pollution and the sun’s harmful UV rays. If you choose heat protectant hair care products, they can also shield your hair from the damage caused by styling tools like blow dryers and curlers.

4. What to Do Before Blow-Drying Your Hair

If you must use a blow dryer, even during the summer, make sure to protect your hair beforehand. A heat protectant spray is a lifesaver for your hair, especially the ends, as it creates a heat-resistant barrier during styling. This will help reduce breakage, especially at the ends. Use a wooden comb to prevent static and tangles.
