8 Hair Hacks You Need to Know

Instate these golden haircare rules to guarantee good hair days 24/7…

1. Conditioning is key, but applying it to soaking wet hair is a no no. Excess water makes it difficult for your conditioner to penetrate the hair shaft and deliver the moisture your mane needs. Towel dry hair post shampooing then apply your conditioner to allow it to work its magic.

2. Sweat can dry out locks, so if you’re a gym bunny wet hair and add conditioner to mid lengths and ends pre working out. Simply rinse out post training for shiny, hydrated and clean hair.

3. Brushing your hair from top to bottom can cause damage, so always brush from the bottom upwards.

4. Peppermint oil helps stimulate blood flow, which in turn can help boost hair growth. Simply apply a few drops of KERLUXE Reactivisse Concentrate Hair Lotion, £55, which contains stimulating peppermint, as well as Redensyl, a growth boosting complex to sustain hair growth.

5. Wet hair is far more fragile than dry hair, so it’s best to brush hair when dry to avoid breakage. Before washing detangle your mane and if you’re prone to tangling when cleansing, part your hair into four sections, twist each section and shampoo separately to avoid tangling.

6. Invest in a silk pillow case as this avoids damaging friction between the sheets when you toss and turn at night.

7. Use luke warm water when washing your hair, as hot water can strip your locks of much needed oils, leaving them looking lackluster. Oh and if you’re brave rinse out your conditioner in cold water to seal the hair cuticle. Smoother hair cuticles make for smoother hair that reflects light better, giving the appearance of shine.

8. Healthy well-nourished hair ensures colour lasts longer, so invest in a colour protecting deep conditioner such as the KERLUXE Luminage Hair Mask, £46. Use once a week to help reverse damage, and protect against colour fade.
