Get Salon Ready Hair for less

This post was sponsored by Global Influence in partnership with RiteAid & Suave. All thoughts, opinions, & ideas are my own.

I have thick curly hair and it can be a task to maintain. Sometimes my bathroom counter looks like a hairdresser’s counter. I have products here,there and hair all over.  So naturally I always try to find something that will fit into my haircare routine and not break the bank. 

I use the Suave natural infusions shampoo and conditioner, it keeps my curly hair healthy and shiny. It has natural ingredients which is a plus in my book. I dislike putting things in my hair that can harm it.  I love that this line is so affordable but makes you feel like you just paid for a $50 dollar blowout!  I would like to share a few tips for having healthy hair, these tips combined with the right products will give you salon ready hair. 

 

Let hair dry naturally. After you get out of the shower, wrap your hair in a cotton T-Shirt. Towels are made of fabric that is very rough and damaging to your hair, causing frizziness and split ends. Avoid brushing hair while wet, as it makes the hair brittle and weak. Only use a wide tooth comb to brush out tangles while hair is wet. ‘.

• Try not to use a blow-drier. Healthy hair does not respond well to heat. Hair can sustain heat damage easily, especially from blow-driers. If you have to use a blow-drier, dry your hair using the lowest-temperature setting and limit usage to once a week.
• If you shower before you sleep overnight, put your hair up in a bun and let it air-dry overnight. Your hair should be dry in the morning.

Eat healthy and give your hair the right amount of vitamins. Since hair is made of proteins, make sure that you eat a balanced diet rich in lean protein, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. A healthy diet will ensure better-looking, better-feeling hair.

• Make sure you get plenty of vitamin C (strengthens hair), iron (helps transport oxygen to blood vessels), zinc (grows and repairs tissue), and omega-3 fatty acids (grows healthy hair).
• Give your hair some time to show new brilliance. What you eat will not have an immediate difference on the hair you already have, but it will help with hair that is newly growing.

Remove stress from your life. Physical and mental stressors will keep your hair from realizing its full potential. Stress can cause hair loss, so try not to let stress overcome you. This means finding healthy emotional outlets for your stress: yoga, biking, meditation, or other forms of exercise all work well.

Find the right Shampoo and Conditioner: Finding the right shampoo/conditioner for your hair can be a task but I have one that is my must have, and is affordable as well. Suave infusions products. They are all natural and keep your hair feeling fresh.
