10 Ways to Get Gorgeous Hair

  1. Scalp Massages – scalp massages increases blood flow, which may keep your hair healthy
  2. Pumpkin Seeds – If you’ve got thinning strands, snack on an ounce of pumpkin seeds 3x per week.  Pumpkin seeds slow down production of DHT (a by-product that make make hair fall out).
  3. Cellophane Wrap - This professional process is like a long-lasting lip gloss for your hair.  Your hair will reflect more light.
  4. Sweat-Proof Your Strands – Place a headband (sweatband) beneath your hairline, flip your hair upside down, and pin a bun in.  After your workout, shake out your hair, and blow dry…va va voom!
  5. Got Flakes? Use anti-dandruff shampoo every time you hit the shower.  Get a conditioner that has pyrithione zinc – it will keep you from rinsing away up to 70% of your anti-dandruff shampoo’s main ingredients.  One to try:  Pureology Dandruff Scalp Cure Conditioner.
  6. Leave-In Treatments – Hydrate and repair you hair while you sleep without leaving residue on your pillow.  Try John Frieda Frizz-EAse Overnight Repair Creme Serum, Fekkai Overnight Hair Repair Cream, or Kerastase Noctogenist Serum Huit.
  7. Use a Deep-Cleansing Shampoo Once a Week – They remove dirt and product residue.  Get one with citric or acetic acid.  Once a week for oily hair and every 2 weeks for dry hair.
  8. Blow Dry - They can activate and intensify conditioning and repairing ingredients in heat-responsive products like Redken Extreme Iron Repair.
  9. Get a Haircut – If you’re in a style rut or have damaged your hair beyond repair, make a fresh start and schedule yourself  an appointment with your main man (or woman) with the tools.
  10. Make a Cheeseburger – Yup, I said it.  it contains all the right ingredients for great hair: niacin (in the whole-wheat bun), biotin (in the lettuce), lycopene (in the tomato), calcium (in the cheese), & iron, zinc, & b vitamins (in the meat).  Can I get a woot-woot?!
