Before I begin, I just want to let you all know that I got my hair permed straight (it's usually straight and wavy) and my mom also told the salon lady to put something in my hair that will give a very soft and silky feeling. Perking your hair is totally an option. If you can afford it, then you automatically have soft, healthy looking hair! If not, keep reading...
Normally, I do not wash my hair EVERYDAY. I wash my hair every other day to let some of the nutrients and oils in. The brands of Shampoo and Conditioner I use are usually Pantene.
Also, when adding conditioner to your hair, comb your hair through with your fingers or a comb and then let it sit there for about 3 minutes or so. Do not put too much or your hair will be TOO oily. You should put a small amount on your scalp too. Just pay for attention to your strands of hair.
When getting out of the shower, I wrap my hair in a towel. I put lotion and then get dressed for everything until I take my hair out of the towel. Afterwards, I make sure my hair is damp and flip my hair upside down so my head is facing my toes and use a comb to comb my hair in the position I am at. I know it's weird but this is also a cool trick to grow your hair a bit longer too!
I also NEVER use a brush. I found out that using a comb doesn't pull out as much hair as the brush and it seems that using a comb doesn't get your hair as much oily as the brush. I now use the comb all the time.
I don't usually dry my hair. My mom tells me that drying my hair will get my hair silkier. I have never even tout about drying my hair like that but if you feel to use a hair dryer, go for it. I usually air dry my hair.
Some things I use at home to make my hair silky is that when I wash my hair during the night (before I go to bed) i add some hair lotion. You can find nutritious hair lotion for your hair at Sally's or a Professional Beauty Salon. Then after running the lotion through my hair, I comb it again and fall asleep in my bed
Before Semtember, I always curled my hair with a curling iron or straightened my hair with a straightening iron. For Healthy looking hair, I don't use these anymore. Using the heated irons dry my ends and they don't look or feel too good. If you have really curly hair who is in need of straightening, what I would do is buy some Heat Protected spray (with a silky treatment) and straighten my hair.
In my hair world, a day without combing my hair gets disastrous and tangles my hair way too much. so remember to always comb your hair, especially every night.
I hope I helped you guys attain a healthy, shinier look for your hair and please comment and tell me what happened to your hair using these tips. It may take some time. For me, it took three or four weeks about to attain the hair I WANTED. Thanks guys!!!!!
