MY HAIRCARE ROUTINE

I make it an important point to cleanse my hair daily without fail, oily and greasy hair just does not look flattering at all. I only wash my hair once a day, this sufficiently cleanses my scalp but does not dry out my hair. I am neither a huge advocate nor firm believer in using hair products from entirely the same brand, although there are people out there who find that, in doing so, the products under the same line can function collaboratively well together. My top favourite picks for shampoo and conditioner have got to be either Garnier Fructis or Essential Nuance Airy. Unfortunately, I doubt the former can be found locally in Singapore, hence I gravitate my preference more towards the latter. Essential, in my opinion, is a wonderful drugstore brand and provides the best bang for your buck. Once a week, I stray from my usual routine of shampooing and conditioning of my mane to switch the process up a little. Instead of applying conditioner after shampoo, I use hair mask to further nourish my long locks. Hair masks are designed for several good purposes, such as adding intensive moisturisation, strengthening the particularly weak and vulnerable ends and smoothing out the frizziness in general. My favourite hair mask choice is the pink tub containing a perfect combination of honey and shea butter delight, similarly by Essential. It is wallet-friendly and one tub can last me up to a few months. After showering, I towel-dry my mane via a gentle patting motion. This is to prevent unnecessary tugging or pulling actions that may damage the hair terribly. When I am completed with my nightly post-shower skincare routine that takes about fifteen minutes, I blow-dry my hair. I start out by applying low heat and blow-dry my hair until it is no longer very damp. Then, it is at this point that I apply what I deem as the most crucial haircare product ever - moroccan argan oil. I love moroccan argan oil as it has definitely aided in improving my hair condition considerably. I smooth an appropriate dallop-sized amount of this beneficial oil into my hair as evenly as possible, then run my fingers deftly through my locks to ensure there is no tangling. Please avoid using too generous an amount of oil for that may weigh the hair down. I finish off the blow-drying process by applying cool air to seal in the positivity of moroccan argan oil. Some points to take note of while blow-drying is to ensure that the nozzle of the blow-dryer points downwards. This is to prevent frizzing of the hair after it has dried. Also, one should try to hold the device a short distance away instead of putting it super close to the scalp. This is a bid to lessen heat damage. One who is looking to input volume into one's hair should blow-dry the parting in its opposite direction. There are many different brands of moroccan argan oil retailing in the market but I choose to purchase Organix. It is the cheapest and most convenient brand for me. At night, I tend to lift my whole head of hair and sleep with my mane spreaded across the pillow. I discovered that this technique allows my hair to maintain its straightness the next morning. In addition to the aforementioned reason surrounding vanity, it prevents my hair from choking me in my sleep because I do have pretty long locks. Everyday in the morning, before I leave the house, I spray my hair with Liese Smooth Hair Cocktail. This unique product assists in eliminating existing tangles and effectively paves the way for easy and smooth hair-brushing after. The cocktail also emits a pleasant scent that lightly lingers in the hair. Here I end off my simple and quite fuss-free haircare routine. Hope this helps those interested.
