How to Improve Your Hair Care Routine

If you wake up every morning, take a look in the mirror, and think to yourself “wow, my hair is absolutely perfect, there isn’t a thing in the world I would change about it,” then congrats! You’re doing all of the things right and also have genetics on your side.

If you’re like the rest of us mere mortals, you will eventually develop one or two issues with your hair, which is normal. 

There could be a few things causing these issues and one of those things could be that you just aren’t using the right hair care routine for your hair. With the best hair care routine from Voce, you can solve just about any problems you may be having with your hair. Here’s how.

Take it Personally

The most common issue that arises in our hair care routine is that we don’t give our hair the treatment it needs. Everyone’s hair is different, and every hair type and scalp has unique needs and sensitivities.

You need to get super personal with your hair care routine and use only the products your hair needs and none of the ones it doesn’t.

Here’s how you can take care of each specific hair type.

Coily Hair

Tight, coily hair is prone to dryness, so moisturizing is the name of the game in hair care for those of us with coily, natural hair. When you shampoo, focus only on the roots of your hair and avoid lathering the ends of your hair.

Conditioning every 2-3 days with deep conditioning treatments will keep your hair hydrated and healthy, and oiling your hair an hour before shampooing and conditioning can take it to the next level of hydration. 

Curly Hair

Curly hair also becomes prone to dryness and can prove difficult to maintain, so take extra care with this hair type. Wash with a sulfate-free shampoo once a week, focusing your attention most towards the scalp and at the roots. Avoid the shaft of your hairs, as this can have a drying effect.

Condition every 3-4 days to make sure that you keep your hair hydrated and healthy, and consider regular deep-conditioning treatments to tame the frizz that can be characteristic of this hair type.

Wavy Hair

If you have a wavy hair type, first off, know that you’re one of the lucky few. This hair type is the easiest to maintain and style, and you can experiment with different products to find the ones you like best.

For this low-maintenance hair type, all you need to do is wash your hair every 3-4 days and follow that up with a conditioner each time you wash.

Since the ends of wavy hair can get dry sometimes, use a leave-in conditioner to help define those beautiful waves and a good hair oil to keep them hydrated.

Straight Hair

For straight hair, you’re usually going to experience some annoying issues like an oily, greasy scalp and a lack of volume.

To combat the grease, wash once every 2-3 days with a sulfate-free shampoo to get rid of the dirt and oils that accumulate on your roots. Follow that up with a lighter conditioner than most; something with coconut or jojoba oil should do the trick. Avoid the scalp with your conditioner.

For volume, use a lifting shampoo that will stimulate your scalp.

Extra Considerations for Healthy Hair

Other than these daily and weekly hair care routines, there are extra things you can do to improve the health of your hair. Make sure to get regular hair cuts to keep those ends healthy, avoid using too many chemicals or heat treatments on your hair, and maintain a healthy lifestyle for best results.
