– TAKE ON SPLIT ENDS –

Probably everyone knows the problem of split ends. Not? You are an exception. Especially now in winter the hair is a bit drier and many women suffer from those dead ends. How does it happen? Harsh shampoo, too often blow-dry, stress or just very dry hair. How do you solve it? Teacher Josselin lays it out for you.

A trip to the hairdresser

Sounds so silly, but actually there is only one solution and that is a visit to the hairdresser. There aren't really any rules for it, but to maintain healthy hair without those dry ends, it's best to get your ends trimmed every six weeks. Then everything is healthy again and your hair falls nicely together at the ends. Letting it grow? Cutting sounds very contradictory, but healthy ends can also help it grow more beautifully.

Washing and caring

Choose a shampoo that really suits your hair. For dry hair, choose a nourishing and caring shampoo and for colored hair a shampoo that preserves the color and cares for the hair due to the harsh treatment (because yes, color really does something to your hair). After that, apply a protective layer on the hair by using a conditioner or another caring product. There are products that contain silicones and create a layer on the hair that allows split ends to be joined together again. You really don't have to do this after every wash, because then the hair becomes very heavy and a volume-less mess on your head doesn't make you happy either.

Master brush

Good brushes also keep your hair much healthier. So it's worth investing a little money in the Rolls Royce of brushes, because they have real boar bristles that keep the hair soft and shiny. Brushes with metal pins cause damage. And you don't want damage.

Ode to oil

Hair care is really very important and you can definitely pamper your hairstyle a little extra from time to time. For example, by using an oil mask. No olive oil, because that's way too heavy, but for example argan oil or macadamia oil. Distribute a few drops over your hair and especially the ends, let it soak in for a bit and then rinse well. It shines like never before and the hair ends are temporarily ‘glued’.

Wave wave styling

I really understand that you want a perfect curl in your hair or want everything to be voluminous. It does dry out, though. So use serums that protect against heat AND always blow-dry your hair downwards. This way, you blow with the hair's cuticles, keeping it a healthy strand.

Een shot per dag

Eating healthy is not only the basis for a Victoria's Secret body, but also for the hair of the models. Your hair needs vitamin B to become healthy and shiny. Oranges and walnuts fill this deficiency. And admit it, it's not such a disaster to have a glass pressed for you in the morning and eat an extra nut in the evening?
