1. THE RULES OF SHAMPOOING
Whether your hair is curly, straight or somewhere in-between, shampoo is simply meant to cleanse your hair, therefore over shampooing causes dryness, which is the number one cause of frizz and dullness.
The solution: shampoo no more than two to three times per week, max.
When you do shampoo, if you are using Monat, you want to rinse and repeat! But remember, it’s only necessary to cleanse your scalp, leaving the rest of your hair untouched, as shampooing strips the hair of its natural oils, causing dryness, frizz, lack of shine, and the list goes on!
2. TURN DOWN THE HEAT
This is a tough one, especially for those of you who love a good blow dry! Using a blow dryer not only fries your hair by blowing up the cuticle, it causes breakage, which leads to split ends. Luckily you don't have to throw in your favorite tools, you just need to be using the right products. Monat's silicone free Blowout Cream lets you turn the heat down without lacking results
3. TOWEL DRYING 101
Wrapping your hair in a towel can cause major damage by roughing up the cuticle, causing flyways, frizz, breakage and split ends. Alternative? Use a microfiber head wrap. Not only does it absorb water faster, reducing your drying time, its soft material is super gentle on your hair.
4. UPGRADE YOUR PILLOWCASE
If you’re prone to frizz, flyways, and have thick hair in general, a silk pillowcase is a major game-changer. Not only will sleeping on a silky-smooth surface with minimal friction help keep your blow dry or curls intact, it decreases the chance of frizz, breakage, and even helps your skin by minimizing the potential for wrinkles! Added bonus!
5. USE THE RIGHT PRODUCTS
Using products formulated for your hair type can do wonders for the health of your hair. With so many products on the market to choose from, how can you decide? Monat offers a shampoo and conditioning duo for every hair type, with 15 shampoos to choose from, no harsh toxins or chemicals, and backed by a 30-day money back guarantee, you have nothing to lose but great hair days!
