Beauty Tips From Le Boudoir to Make Your Hair Looks Its Best

 Though you may want to tailor your hair routine to the type of hair you have, it is still best to know the basics of hair care. Below are some of the basic hair care tips from Le Boudoir in New Canaan that can help you maintain and improve the beauty and health of your hair. 

Hair Beauty Tips

• Deep condition your hair at least once a month. You can use an over-the-counter deep conditioner or pamper yourself with professional deep conditioning by visiting your favorite beauty salons in New Canaan CT

• If you want to treat your hair with some salon services at home and enjoy a blowout or heat styling session, always apply a heat protectant product to avoid damaging your hair. 

• Only iron your hair when dry. 

• As much as possible, refrain from using a blower when drying your hair. If air-drying is not possible and you really have to blow-dry your hair especially during cold weather, do it with a brush. Blow-dry from roots to ends as you pull your hair down with a brush, the same way professionals at a beauty salon bardo. 

Hair Washing Tips

The wrong way of washing can damage your hair and scalp. Here’s what Le Boudoir suggests about the proper ways of hair washing.

• Use lukewarm water

A steamy shower can be really relaxing and satisfying especially during cold seasons. However, hot water can damage both your skin and hair. It can strip off the essential oils in your hair and make it look dull and dry. Instead of a steamy shower, try adjusting the temperature and wash your hair using lukewarm water. Washing with lukewarm water is equally relaxing but is not harsh on your hair, scalp, and skin. 

• Proper way to apply shampoo

Your scalp sheds skin cells and produces oil constantly, making it feel and look dirty. When you shampoo, concentrate on the scalp and roots of your hair. Don’t use too much shampoo on the hair strands to avoid stripping off its moisture. 

• The proper way of using a conditioner

The hair roots and scalp can easily get greasy because of the naturally produced oil. Applying conditioner to these areas will only weigh down your hair. The proper way of applying a conditioner is to start from the middle section of your hair to the tip. It is also best to use a wide-tooth comb when applying the conditioner. This allows you to distribute the conditioner properly and at the same time detangle your hair without damaging it. 

• Rinse your hair well

Residue from the shampoo and conditioner can build up over time. Rinse your hair well to avoid residue build-up.  

• Squeeze out excess water

Never use a bath towel to remove excess water and to dry your hair. Towels are a little rough on your hair. Scrubbing your hair with a towel can damage the hair shaft and can cause breaking or split ends. Gently squeeze out excess water and use a cotton fabric like an old cotton shirt, instead. 

• Consider using a dry-shampoo

If your hair feels and looks greasy, consider using dry shampoo instead of a regular one. Dry shampoo is excellent at refreshing your hair from roots to tips, making them look their best. 

You need to carefully choose a dry shampoo that does not leave behind any residue on your hair and scalp, though. If unsure what product to use, you can seek advice from professionals at any of the salons in New Canaan CT.
