Hair Care Instructions
- Always check the shampoo label before use. You should be using one that does not contain alcohol as alcohol dries hair, which may lead to more frizzies.
- When you shampoo too often, you wash away the natural oils that are the best conditioners for your hair. So, limit the number of washes to just 3 times a week.
- If you have to wash your hair every day, use a shampoo that is designed to moisturise your hair. Check the label for more details.
- Use a conditioner every day to keep your hair moisturised. Finger-brush your hair while the conditioner is on it.
- Finally, rinse thoroughly. You should also deep condition your hair at least once a week.
- If you have to style your hair, buy a good quality flat iron and use it at a low heat setting.
- Always use a wide-toothed comb when hair is wet. If you use the regular comb, its close and rough bristles may aggravate the frizz.
- You can use a flat iron with Teflon plates to smooth your hair; these make your hair look shiny and healthy.
