Washing and drying hair tips

1. Avoid over washing your hair.
Try not to wash your hair with shampoo every single day.
For days you do not wash your hair, apply a fragrant mist designed especially to refresh tresses.
2. Don't apply shampoo directly to the top of your head.
Apply shampoo from the nape of the neck first, and then work it through the rest of your hair.
3. Better to apply shampoo after diluting with water.

4. Distribute cleansing and styling products evenly through your hair.
 When you apply conditioner, use a comb to spread the product evenly through your hair.
5. Lessen trauma to your hair.
Try to avoid wrapping your hair in a towel and leaving it twisted up on your head for long time.
It may be convenient, but it can damage your hair.
6. Avoid blow-drying your hair everyday.
Allow your hair to dry naturally whenever possible, whether you shower at night or let your hair dry over the weekend.
