Sorry for not posting. I’m having a very very important exam week at the moment and I will most probably blog on the upcoming Friday. That’s because my school will be ended by then. I really really hope I’m gonna pass these exams I’m so afraid to fail! PRAY FOR ME XOXO

Since I really get loads of comments and questions about my healthy hair I’m going to put down my hair routine and some tips! I actually believe it’s actually the best feature I have. XD Please don’t get me wrong! I don’t want to sound supercilious or anything like that, but I really truly everyone has its own best feature!

The tips below are tips that I follow myself. My hairtype is normal to a bit oily and I have quite thin hair. I can’t guarantee this will all work on your hair but it helped my own hair a lot!

Anyway onto the tips now!

Tips for more glow
- End washing your hair with COLD water – This will close all your hair scales which will make your hair more shiny. (You can see the results of doing this quite quickly)
- Eat food like carrots – Your body needs vitamin A to produce tallow. Tallow will make your hear more shiny. That’s why you should eat: carrots, broccoli, kale, spinach, paprika and nuts.

Tips for more volume
- A ripe avocado has loads of unsaturated fat and will be a very good hair softener. What you can do is mash it and use it as hair-mask. This will give your hair extra volume.
- Don’t tease your hair, better blow-dry your hair with your head upside down using a foam. Preferably one with ThermoCare Formula. ThermoCare Formula not only offers passive heat protection, but for the first time even turns hairdryer heat into extra care for your hair.

Tips for growth
- Eat shellfish, parsley, soy flour, muesli, pistachio nuts, meat and fish, and you know that you are getting enough iron. And that will help you with a better hair growth.

Tips for split hair ends
Vitamin D! It will keep the keratin-layer of your hair intact. Either: less split hair ends. Meaning more nuts, meat, oily fish, butter, milk and margarine!

And as you can see, I mentioned loads of food! Food is largely the answer to why your hair looks like as it is. We often forget this while we try to keep our hair healthy with the best shampoos.

Another key to healthy hair is the conditioner, in my opinion the second impact after food. The conditioner protects, cares and repairs. It makes your hair easier to comb and helps refilling hair that has lost her building blocks. If you have thick hair I recommend you to use a more intensive conditioner. It’s also very important to use a hair-mask once a week, just like your weekly facial mask.

My hair routine

1. Wash your hair like you usually do. I use the shampoo SYOSS shine shampoo Always make sure you’ve washed all the shampoo away because the shampoo that are left on your hair will make it heavier and your hair will be less easy to style!
2. Feed it with your favorite conditioner. I use SYOSS shine conditioner; a good conditioner should give you volume, shine, protection and help the hair detangle.
3. I usually blow dry my hair, and I actually use a heated one. I get the feeling that my hair will be less shiny by doing this. I’ll be using the NIVEA styling mousse I featured above. Having my head upside down and blow drying it.
Wet hair is really vulnerable, by rubbing it hard or by wringing your hair can already cause damage! You can better pat it dry with a towel!
4. When my hair is almost dry I will rub a small amount of “John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Shine Shock” in my palms and smooth it evenly in my hair, concentrating on the ends.
5. Then when my hair is dry, I’ll set it with Wella High Hair Style Foundation

I hope this has helped you and if you have any questions, you can always ask me anything on Formspring.com/hiuxing
