By contrast, when women wake up to great hair, 56% are generally nicer to people around them, while 67% have a better day overall. Having great hair can make you feel more self-assured and you are more likely to hold your head up high, as you know your hair is healthy and clean. Great hair means having hair with strength, volume and no split ends. It is also hair that is manageable, frizz-free and has a beautiful shine, and getting healthy-looking hair like this is easier than you might think. Caring for your hair is important. It’s not just about using shampoo and conditioner, but also about eating healthily and reducing the amount of stress in your life. You also need to be using the right caring products that suit your hair type and condition, and at S&H we sell a number of products that help your hair. 10 steps for revitalizing your hair: 1. Start with the basics - a great shampoo and conditioner. The Wella care range has different products for different hair types. The hair stylists in the salon will help you choose the best product for your hair. 2. Before washing your hair, brush it to detangle and rid your locks of excess styling products. 3. Ensure your water isn’t hotter than 37°C (body temperature) or your hair will become excessively dry. 4. Massage the shampoo in small circles to stimulate the blood flow. 5. To dry, pat your hair between your hands or a towel. Don’t wring it, as this can damage the hair cuticle. 6. Massage a small amount of conditioner, from tips to your roots. 7. Leave in your hair for a couple of minutes for best results. 8. Over-rinse your shampoo and under-rinse you conditioner to leave your hair silky smooth. 9. Rinse out the conditioner with warm water, making sure you don’t rub your hair. 10. Squeeze your hair between your palms or a dry towel, then use a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle it. If you’re going to dry your hair soon after, set the hairdryer to medium to avoid over-drying your hair.
