Good morning everyone :) For those of you who have long and thick hair, I am very jealous of you! Yes it can be a burden, but when it is properly managed, long and thick hair can look so gorgeous it's unreal. Here are some easy tips and tricks to properly manage long and thick hair:
1. Splurge on a great shampoo and conditioner! We all have different budgets to work with, but try to buy the best shampoo/conditioner you can. Some of my favorite brands are: Aveda, John Frieda, Biolage, and Paul Mitchell.
2. Try and switch up your shampoo and conditioner! Your hair will tend to get used to whatever shampoo and conditioner you are using constantly, and the effects will be less and less great. I try to have 2-3 different combos so that whenever my first combo runs out, I can try a different pair to see if that revives my locks!
3. Comb your hair while conditioner is still in it! Use a wide tooth comb in the shower and comb through, starting with your ends. This helps coat all the strands and detangles your hair.
4. Try to avoid heat styling! We all know heat styling damages your hair, so try to air dry whenever you can.
5. Most importantly is to deep condition at least once a week! Thick and long hair needs deep conditioner! By doing this you are strengthening, protecting, and revitalizing your hair. Find a good one (or use coconut oil), saturate your dry hair, throw a shower cap on, and relax. The longer you can leave it in the better!
