How To Have Great Hair♥

Happiness is a form of courage...

Before I talk to you about how to have great hair, this weekend was bittersweet for me. Most of my friends graduated from Saint Leo. Congratulations to Mike Gincel, Peggy Williams, Nichelle Young, Leslie Pevey, and Sarah Eade. My friend Sarah Grina will be graduating this Saturday from USF. This past Saturday I attended Peggy's graduation party.

How To Have Great Hair by Chelsea DeVries

1. Wash hair every other day. 

When you wash your hair every day, you strip it of natural oils. Hair needs oil to maintain shine and body in order to style it.

2. When thinking of products, think variety.

Just like when working out doing the same workout over and over produces no results, using the same shampoo and conditioner to wash your hair causes immunity to the good things in each shampoo and conditioner, as well as product buildup. Every time I wash my hair, I use a different set of shampoo and conditioner.

3. Color your hair only when needed. 

So many young girls nowadays dye their hair because it's the trend. Once you dye your hair, you will always have to dye your hair. There is no in between. So instead of exposing your underdeveloped brain to chemicals, stick with your natural hair color until after your 25 at least.

4. Use natural hair color tools instead of dying your hair.

Since I was 19, I've used Sun-In on my hair and that's the only reason it stays golden blond. Technically, I've never dyed my hair. I've put purple temporary dye in it but it's nothing compared to dying my hair, and my hair has thanked me because of it.

5. Use frizz serums and shine spray to bring out the natural oils in your hair.

I personally use Tresemme Shine Spray and Tresemme Keratin Smooth Frizz Serum but everyone has their preference. These have worked for me the best.

6. Comb your hair after you wash it instead of brushing it.

When hair is wet and you brush it, it strips the ends of your hair faster.

7. Use heat tools every other day.

If I blow dry my hair, I skip straightening it for the day. I used to straighten my hair and noticed it was drier.

8. Let your hair air dry after washing it and when damp, then blow dry it.

This is healthier for your hair because it doesn't dry out the moisture that the hair received when you washed it.

That's all I can think of. If you have a hair specific question, post it in the comments. I'll try to answer it for you. Before I leave you with a final thought, I'm going to review each of my shampoos and conditioners.

Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge

I was skeptical when I saw the commercials and magazine ads for this product because I didn't believe it would work but it really makes my hair moisture-rich soft and it lasts about three days. I highly recommend this also because it makes your hair smell really good, too.

Garnier Fructis Fall Fight

When I first became hypothyroid, my hair started falling out terribly. Yet, I started using this to build strength to my hair and it worked. It didn't completely make my hair stop falling out but it caused less to fall out. Thank God my hair no longer falls out.

Head And Shoulders Dry Scalp Care with Almond Oil Shampoo

After I started using this shampoo, my hair was really soft and not frizzy after I washed it. I pair this with Suave Naturals Conditioner (Rainforest Fresh). Together these cause my hair to both smell great and be super soft and almost frizz free. This is probably my favorite set.

Johnson's Baby Shampoo and Tresemme Moisture Rich Conditioner

When I had that skin irritation on my legs and read that you could use baby shampoo as shaving cream, I also read that baby shampoo is great for hair that is really greasy and gets rid of the excess grease. Tresemme Moisture Rich Conditioner makes my hair super soft and conditioned well.

Suave Clarifying Shampoo and Tresemme Breakage Defense

Clarifying shampoo makes your color stronger and removes any product buildup in your hair. This Tresemme conditioner helps strengthen breaking hair. I can always trust that Tresemme conditioner will make my hair silky smooth and smell healthy.

Head and Shoulders and Tresemme Split Remedy Conditioner

Like just about most people, I occasionally get dandruff so I use head and shoulders to treat it and prevent it. This conditioner protects and strengths split ends which means less haircuts.

 Tresemme Color Protection

I discovered this duo when Isemi- dyed my hair two summers ago and added the purple low-lights. It really helped protect against the vibrancy of the purple color. I believe it was only supposed to last two months and the purple lasted three months.

Tresemme Smooth and Silky

This duo always is my go-to shampoo and conditioner if I want to have smooth and silky hair. 

Tresemme Climate Control

This duo is supposed to protect against frizz in any weather but for some reason, it always causes my hair to feel itchy and heavy after I use it. And my hair is frizzy even after I wash it.

Tresemme Keratin Smooth

This is probably my second favorite duo because although it doesn't completely rid your hair of frizz, it made my hair super duper soft and it smells beautiful. Used with the serum it works even better. I highly recommend buying this.

I am hoping to try Tresemme Platinum Strength next and I will let you know how it goes after I use it.

Until next time, remember: The same spiritual power that raised Christ from the dead lives in you. -Romans 8:11♥

Love Times Infinity,
