Hair Care Tips from the Past That Fashionable Ladies Can Use Even Today
Just because there is a pressing need to follow contemporary fashion and style, it does not mean that we should forget all that had been practiced earlier. As far as hair styling is concerned, virtually every modern and fashion-conscious woman still covets the healthy, gorgeous, thick, and cascading locks of hair that ruled the yesteryears. Some tips that will help you to be the center of attraction:
Giving Your Hair Life
A classic method of hair care was for women to first wash their hair, apply oil and then wrap a hot towel around the hair till completely cool. This age-old technique is still very useful today. When doing it at home, thoroughly clean your hair; shampoo twice to make sure. Squeeze out as much water as possible and apply your favorite hair treatment to provide the essential nourishment and moisture. Wring out a towel soaked in hot water and wrap the hot towel around your head after making sure that it is not too hot. Allow the towel to cool naturally before removing it from around your hair. You will observe that almost all the hair treatment that you had applied has been absorbed by your hair. Rinse your hair again to remove any surplus and repeat the entire exercise after every two weeks for hair that shines with health, is completely nourished, and free of split-ends.
Blow Dry to Add Volume and Lift
Even though the practice of rolling your hair in curlers after applying a setting lotion was very effective for adding volume to hair, it is not very practical for the contemporary woman to wait for hours to let it dry out. While no other method comes anywhere near to the effect of using hair curlers, if you don’t have time, you can first blow dry your hair section by section and then use a Velcro curler for as long as it takes for your hair to cool down. Use a hairspray to set the hair and get a really glamorous look with loads of hair volume in double quick time. Consider using tape hair extensions if you want length in addition to volume.
Cold Water Rinse for Extra Shine and More
Not many people would tend to associate cold water with hair care. However, despite seeming to be a form of torture, it is actually an amazing method of giving your hair high luster. Further, the cold water encourages the growth of healthier hair by stimulating the follicles. The impact of the cold water is also to close shut the hair cuticles so that the hair takes on its natural shine. The closure of the cuticles also locks in the moisture and hair treatments so that your hair remains healthy for a longer time and extends the life of any hair color that you may have applied.
Conclusion
Even though fashion may come and go there are some practices that you simply can’t wish away. Our grannies got it right, and we can at best tweak them in the modern context to save some time.
