1. Never Brush Wet Hair

Brushing wet hair is a recipe for broken and frizzy hair. It is incredibly damaging to brush wet hair because it is in its most fragile state. Instead, you should comb it from the ends up with a wide-toothed comb until your tangles are gone. By keeping your hair healthy and frizz at bay, you’ll naturally shorten the amount of styling time your hair needs.

2. Use a Microfiber Towel

Just as it’s damaging to brush wet hair, it also causes breakage if you use a standard bath towel to scrub your head. It is much easier on your hair if you use a microfiber towel and gently squeeze or hold your hair to absorb excess water. This technique helps keep your hair shiny, manageable, and damage-free.

3. Never Curl the Ends of Your Hair

This hair hack might sound contradictory to what you’ve learned in the past, but leaving about an inch of hair straight at the end of your curls will give the illusion of longer hair. It also creates a more natural, modern-looking curl or wave.

4. Use Texturizing Spray

One of my favorite hair products is texturizing spray. Using it on second or third-day hair, or even right after you wash it to give it some dimension, will really help your style look effortlessly full and thick. I also enjoy using dry wax sprays for the extra shine and texture they add. Try experimenting with a quality texturizing product to see the difference it makes.

Texturizing spray is a great way to give your hair more texture, volume, and shine. It's best used on second or third day hair, as it won't weigh down freshly washed hair. You can also use a dry wax spray to add more texture and shine. When used together, these two products can give you a look that's full and thick. It's a great way to achieve a model-worthy style with minimal effort.

Embrace your individuality and transform your look by trying out a unique shade. Did you know that green hair is associated with nature, creativity, and growth? So go ahead, experiment with this bold hair color to represent a new phase in your life, waiting to blossom like a fresh spring leaf.

5. Don’t Shampoo Every Day

When you wash your hair daily, you strip away your hair’s natural, healthy oils. This often leads to dry hair, a flaky scalp, and an overproduction of oil as your scalp tries to compensate. Try stretching the time between washes with these tips:

  • Use dry shampoo on your roots.
  • Wear your hair in a loose bun or braid.
  • Wear a cute headband to hide oil.

6. Use Coconut Oil for Deep Conditioning

If you want to keep your hair healthy, try using coconut oil as a deep conditioning treatment once a week. It penetrates the hair shaft better than many other oils, providing intense hydration. You can read more about the benefits of natural hair treatments in our guide to hair conditioning.

7. Sleep on a Silk Pillowcase

Cotton pillowcases can cause friction, which leads to tangles and breakage while you sleep. Switching to a silk or satin pillowcase is a game-changer. It allows your hair to glide over the surface, meaning you wake up with fewer knots and less frizz. It is one of the easiest ways to maintain your style overnight.

    I have relaxed african american hair and I can't use too much heat. Also shampooing my hair often makes it super dry and brittle. I wash my hair about every week and a half. Some textures can go even longer without washing. I even skip the shampoo and wash my hair with conditioner. People with curls need to moisturize their locks.

    I swear by #5. Dry shampoo is amazing, and I only shampoo twice a week.

    Ok, I have naturally curly hair and the only way to brush my hair is when it is wet. I can't brush through by hair dry or it will break. I use only organic shampoo and conditioner on my hair along with Tea Tree Oil and Extra Virgin Olive oil. But I've always been told to brush my hair wet.. Heck I have no choice!

    Never comb wet hair. I could see my hair stretching and falling when I did that in the past.
