One Simple Step For Growing Long, Shiny Hair

WASH LESS, CONDITION MORE

There---that's the beauty advice that most hair stylists are happy to reveal when you're trying to grow long, shiny hair.

We hate hearing that, because our scalp can become a bit oily, but we understand the reasoning behind it.

We've all been told that shampooing daily can dry out your locks. The natural oils that act as your scalp's built-in conditioner and help fight split ends start to strip away. So the experts agree:

Scale back shampooing to just once or twice a week. That way you won't have to constanty bother with too many split ends.

Focus on hair hydration.

"Conditioning treatments are crucial," says Serge Normant, Julia Roberts's longtime stylist, to Harper's Bazaar readers

Serge says its okay to comb through your hair while the conditioner is still in it. This helps to keep knots from forming. The combing also helps avoid the breakage that occurs when you try to brush through tangles after showering.

A cult favorite hair conditioner is Tresemme Moisture-Rich Vitamin E Conditioner for Dry Or Damaged hair ($4.49, big 32 oz. bottle, at Walgreens).

The conditioner has been in the Tresemme line-up for several years now, probably because it really works!

You can pick some up at your local drugstore.

It works beautifully on relaxed hair, color-treated strands, and any hair that takes a beating through chemical processes, constant heat + drying tools, and so forth.

What makes this Tresemme conditioner so worthy?

The ingredients for hair nourishment + silkiness include:
A rich formula containing vitamin E, sunflower, hazelnut+almond extracts.

A number of our African-American girlfriends highly recommend the Tresemme Moisture-Rich Vitamin E Conditioner because it adds such incredible softness, bounce and shine to delicate locks.

Just read the customer reviews. These personal opinions can really shed some important information on a particluar beauty product.

One more thing---this conditioner smells great. Yummy!
