MAINTAIN HAIR CARE ROUTINES AT HOME
Regardless of texture, color or style, everyone wants to get the good look as if by hands of the salon professional. The right hair treatments can help boost shine and nourish hair. Here are a few of our favorite at-home hair care tips for a shiny, healthy and beautiful appearance.
1. NOURISH YOUR SCALP WITH NATURAL INGREDIENTS
It may not be the first thought that comes to mind, but your pantry can provide natural ingredients for hair care. Aloe vera and coconut milk, for example, can be used as a pre-conditioner before taking a head bath to deal with dry and frizzy hair. You can also use olive oil, argan oil, and black cumin oil to strengthen your hair and give it a soft and shiny look. If you oil your hair as a moisturizing treatment, don't apply it directly to your hairline, but massage a small portion into the ends after shower. If you don’t have these ingredients, check out our CHI Argan Oil Shampoo and conditioner that combines a blend of exotic oils restoring essential vitamins to rejuvenate dry and damaged hair.
You can't control all the environmental elements that damage your hair, but what you can control is the type of shampoos you use. Sulfates and parabens in shampoos are used for lathering and preservation respectively, but over time can cause skin irritation and increase the risk of hormonal imbalances.
2. RETHINK YOUR HAIR WASHING ROUTINE
Washing your hair regularly will ensure that your scalp and hair are free of dirt and excess oil, but at this time you can skip the daily hair wash. With the extra time on your hands, rethink your hair washing routine and find out if you've been washing your hair the right way.
No matter how much you love wonderful hair products, you should give your hair a little break from shampooing to maintain the natural oils in your scalp and keep your hair well moisturized. The right frequency depends on your hair type and personal preferences. In case of extremely dry hair, you should wash your hair only twice a week. If you have an oily scalp, it may help to wash your hair on alternate days.
3. APPLY CONDITIONER TO YOUR HAIR
The conditioner contains ingredients that make your hair smooth and manageable. It protects your hair from environmental aggressors and heat styling. However, you should only apply it on the ends of your hair and not on your scalp. Ideally, wear a shower cap while you leave the conditioner in your hair for about 45 minutes, and then rinse it off thoroughly. Your hair will be much smoother and easier to style post-application.
If you suffer from damaged hair and hair breakage after coloring, we recommend our Joico K-PAK for use at home. Joico K-PAK Color Therapy has gained popularity in the hair care and styling community in recent years due to its ability to keep your hair rejuvenated and hydrated while maintaining its dyed color looking fresh!
4. GIVE YOUR HAIR A BREAK FROM HEATING TOOLS
Blow drying makes your hair as beautiful as your idol's on-screen, but excessive heat styling can damage your scalp. Take this opportunity to give your hair a break from all the heating and styling tools you normally use. Air drying or towel drying after shampooing is ideal. It is advised that rubbing hard with a towel can damage the cuticle of your hair.
If you have to use a heater, don't forget to use a heat protection product so your hair doesn't get damaged from overheating. If you have dry and damaged hair, ATS repair therapy shampoo and mask for damaged hair is a good choice to restore moisture levels and balance the pH level. A simple hair care routine during social distancing will help you strengthen your hair and increase smoothness for a healthier and more beautiful look.
5. TIME TO TRY NEW HAIRSTYLES.
Spending a lot of time at home not only gives you the opportunity to focus on your hair health, but it also gives you the time to try out styles you’ve always wanted to try. Curl your hair the way you want, search online for trendy new hairstyles or try one of our hair tutorials.
You can also make the most of this time to prepare for the "comeback" - the new you.
