We all want full, stylishly styled and strong hair with a sophisticated shine. However, on some days this is easier said than done. The mane hangs limply from the head and just won't hold. On such a "bad hair day", we would like to hide away at home. But it's quick and easy to give your mop of hair a makeover!
More volume & shine - hair care tips that cheat volume
A tousle comb is a great way to plump up the hair and make it look thicker. Comb strand by strand against the direction of growth and smooth the top coat neatly at the end. Volumizing powder gives the roots additional hold. Apply a touch to the scalp and massage in. Make the lengths manageable with a dry shampoo. Simply spray on and tousle lightly.
Conjure up shine: Give your hair a healthy shine after blow-drying. Blow through dry hair for a few seconds on the cold setting. This makes it shimmer. A shine spray (use sparingly) gives the look extra glamor.
Sleek looks provide extra shimmer
The smoother the surface of the hair, the more light it can reflect. A straightening iron can help with dull hair: prepare the mop of hair with a heat protection spray and divide the mane into medium-sized sections. Straighten each section with the iron. Appliances with a special care coating (e.g. the "Shine Therapy" straightener from Remington with argan oil, approx. 50 euros) ensure a great sparkle.
Hair care tips for fullness in the lengths
Soft curls and waves not only look classy, but also make fine hair look thicker. Apply a heat protection spray to dry lengths and then work through all the strands with a curling iron. Leave the hair to cool completely and gently pull the curls apart with your fingers. A little hairspray makes the look last longer. To finish, spray generously onto the lengths of the hair.
A round brush adds volume and hold when blow-drying. This makes the hair at the roots look thicker and fuller and conjures up chic bounce at the ends. First, knead a dollop of mousse into the damp mane. Wind strand by strand onto the brush and blow dry. Leave the brush in the hair until it has cooled down completely. Professional hair care tip: always use two or three brushes at the same time. This speeds up styling.More care in the cold season - taming electric hairs
We've all been there: as soon as we take our warm and cozy woolly hat off our head, our mane suddenly sticks out stubbornly in all directions. This can be avoided with hair oil. Apply a few drops to dry hair in the morning. This prevents it from becoming statically charged and also gives it an extra boost of moisture and shine.
Intensive treatment for the lengths
When the temperatures drop, your hair also needs a little more care. No wonder: icy winds and dry heating air can dry out the mane. One of the hair care tips you should definitely follow: Once a week, a rich hair treatment provides moisture. Apply generously to towel-dried hair after washing, leave on for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse out. A tip fluid (e.g. the "Cheveux Longs Silky Spliss Repair Fluid" from La Biosthetique, approx. 26 euros) protects the tips from split ends and hair breakage. Work into the dry ends every morning.
