Do you always use hair conditioner all over your hair? Then you might like to know that your scalp itself automatically produces oil. So contrary to what you may think, you don’t need to put conditioner there (unless you have very dry skin). Simply focus on the ends of your hair for the best results!

2. First Brush, Then Wash

Instead of brushing your hair with a brush after you wash your hair, it’s actually a better idea to do it before! This way you don’t need to worry about getting your hair tangled when it’s wet and your loose hair will already come out right away, instead of it ending up in the shower and clogging everything up.

3. Different Curls

What the heck are spin pins? It looks more complicated than it is. Spin pins are a great replacement for your habitual bobby pins to hold up a bun the whole day. Simply use two spin pins to hold your hair up in a bun, add a little hairspray and you’re definitely good to go for the whole day.

10. Scalp Massage

Don’t you just looooove that feeling when your hair dresser washes your hair and gives you a massage with it? Oh, did you think she did that for your pleasure? No, no, no. Massaging the scalp stimulates hair growth and strengthens the roots of your hair. And guess what? You can definitely try this at home.

11. Silk Pillow Cases

Besides it being extra comfy, silk (or satin) pillow cases can do wonders when it comes to protecting your hair. You see, cotton pillow cases drain the moist out of your hair every night and also cause your hair to get split ends much quicker. So, will you make the switch?

12. Extend Your Ponytail

Don’t you just wish you had looooong pretty hair? We can’t work miracles, but we CAN give you a little cheating advice here: make two pony tails (one low, one high) and blend them in together. This way it will look like you are rocking one high, long pony tail. Shhht, it’s out little secret… Want more info? Check here how to get that long ponytail.

13. Be Creative With Bobbies

If you’re gonna need to use those good old Bobbies, you might as well be a little creative. First, (and let’s end this once and for all) wear your pins wavy side down! Then start thinking of different shapes and patterns that you could make. Think snowflake, arrow,… Also, use different colors. For more bobby-inspo check here.

14. Dry Shampoo To Hide Roots

Outgrowing roots are not the nicest thing you’d like to see when you look in the mirror. All the more reason to hide them, and we’ve got just the tip for you. Spray dry shampoo onto your roots. Then place your fingers on the roots to get rid of the excess shampoo. You’ll see it looks much better!

15. Use The Right Comb

Got tangles? Then don’t use a regular hairbrush to solve it. Use a wide-tooth comb to untangle your hair. If you are one of those people who has unmanageable hair, then just take one into the shower and use your new comb while your hair is wet, preferably with some conditioner.
