Steps to having smooth, silky hair like what you see in magazines are not as difficult as you think. LIVE Magazine's beauty team has compiled for you a spa-standard at-home hair care routine.
1. Exfoliate the scalp
Although being an extremely important step to keep your hair healthy "from root to tip", exfoliating the scalp is often forgotten. Exfoliation will help remove excess skin cells, oil, and dandruff. During burning hot seasons in Vietnam, exfoliating your hair 1-2 times a month is the key to keep your hair shiny and flawless .
Scalp exfoliation is usually done after shampooing. After combing and separating sections of hair, you apply the exfoliating mixture on. You can also use a brush or glove designed specifically for exfoliation.
L'Oreal Paris EverFresh Micro-Exfoliating Scrub is an affordable exfoliating scrub. The product uses apricot kernels as a physical exfoliant. Especially, it does not contain sulfate, so dyed hair is less likely to fade.
2. Use a hair mask
Similar to a facial mask, a hair mask has the effect of providing moisture to your scalp, limiting the conditions of dry, broken hair and itchy dandruff. For heat-treated hair, using a mask is even more recommended. You should maintain applying masks 1-2 times a week to achieve the best results.
Tsubaki Premium Repair Mask from Japan has a light, airy texture that absorbs swiftly into the hair. This product uses CMC technology to nourish and rebuild hair from the inside out. The product contains natural ingredients that are safe for users.
3. Combine hair serum
The use of hair serum not only helps soften hair, restore damage caused by external influences, but also helps penetrate nutrients into 3 layers of hair (epidermis, dermis and hypodermis) to help strengthen hair from the inside. Hair serum also works to protect the hair shaft from damage when subjected to heat.
The national hair serum, Mise En Scene Perfect Repair Hair Serum, is a product you should not overlook because of its beneficial effects. Other ingredients such as oat milk and rose essential oil, in addition to Argan oil, have a great effect on treating common damage, such as split ends, dry breaks, and hair loss, by strengthening hair ends and preventing hair loss.
4. Protect hair from heat impact
For girls who often blow-dry and style their hair, heat-resistant spray is an extremely important step, it acts as a shield to protect hair against the effects of heat, reducing damage. Exposure to high temperatures will cause the hair to become dry and weak, easy to break and even adversely affect the scalp.
Moroccanoil Perfect Defense is an ultra-light anti-heat spray with argan oil and vitamins as the key ingredients. Nutrients are little, ultra-light molecules that easily diffuse in the air and absorb swiftly when they come into touch with hair. This lotion hydrates the hair while also protecting it from heat damage up to 450F/230C.
5. Dry shampoo
While it is important to keep the scalp clean, washing your hair too frequently can create unintended consequences such as hair loss, split ends, and fading the color of dyed hair. Dry shampoo is an excellent answer to this problem. Dry shampoo's active components help absorb excess oil from the scalp and hair, saving time.
Currently, there are various dry shampoo options to choose from, according to your budget and needs. Dove Dry Shampoo Refresh Care is a product that helps absorb excess oil for clean and bouncy hair after only about 2 minutes of use. A big plus for this product is the affordable price, ranging from 150,000 VND to 170,000 VND.
