For the love of texture styling

Ik ben echt gek op de New Studio Line haarproducten van l'Oréal, haar stylen wordt echt makkelijk (zelfs als je niet eens een knotje kunt maken). Ik gebruik de #TXT06 Wave Creating Spray voor zachte golven. Je moet het aanbrengen op handdoekdroog haar (niet op de kruin, als je haar net zo snel vet wordt als dat van mij) en volgens de instructies lokken rond je vingers draaien en droogföhnen. Daar heb ik natuurlijk geen tijd voor (want mijn haar is te lang), dus wijk ik hier af en maak ik 1 of 2 losse vlechten tot het volledig droog is. Gespleten of pluizende haarpunten vallen minder op, er zit echt meer textuur in en je hoeft je niet meer dood te ergeren aan fly-aways. De #TXT07 Volume Texturizing Spray  is ideaal als je krullen in je haar doet. Als ik velcrorollers in heb spray ik deze er nog even boven (de haarwortels liggen dan namelijk bloot) of ik neem zomaar plukken haar die ik toupeer, als ik de pluk omhoog houdt spray ik nog eens rijkelijk van wortel naar punt. Als ik geen krullen in heb sla ik gewoon heel m'n haardos ondersteboven en spray ik er zo wat op. Beide producten liegen er in ieder geval niet om, de textuur die ze geven maakt het haar echt veel makkelijker handelbaar, en mijn relatief dun haar ziet er meteen een stuk "dikker" uit.

I just love the New Studio Line l'Oréal products as they make hair styling very easy (even for those of us who can

 barely fix a knot). I use the #TXT06 Wave Creating Spray to make soft waves. You have to apply it on towel dry

 hair (not on the roots if you tend to have greasy hair) and then you have to twist locks of hair around your fingers

 while blow drying it. From this step on I do it differently as my hair is too long to just sit and twist it for an hour 

(this might work great if you naturally have wavy hair). I make one or two loose braids and keep them in until 

my hair is completely dry. Doing this trick with the spray is very much different from doing it without, as it 

reduces fly aways, frizzy hair or the visibility of split ends. The texture is great! The #TXT07 Volume Texturizing 

Spray is awesome for curls. If I'm having in velcro rollers I spray it all over my head as the roots are visible, or I just

 flip my freshly curled hair and spray it all over. Without curls you can just take locks, tease them, and spray from the

 roots all the way to the ends while holding it up. Both products don't lie, the texture they give makes the hair look

 fuller and thicker and WAY easier to style.

For better, prettier hair...

Don't we all want shiny, waving locks with the right amount of volume? Unfortunately it takes more than a good conditioner or a salon visit to see results. Let's sum up every way to prettify your coupé - from simple ways to hardcore routines.

What do eat:
We want to go for protein-rich food as hair is 97% protein!

- Salmon: it's rich in protein and vitamin D which makes your hair very strong. It also contains omega-3 fatty acids, which your body doesn't make but they are essential to grow hair!

-Walnuts: rich in biotin and vitamin E. Prevents hair loss and the copper mineral keeps your hair color vivid and healthy. 

- Oysters: rich in zinc - it prevents both hair loss and a dry flaky scalp. Super rich in protein!

- Sweet potaties: source of beta carotene (your body turns it into vitamin A which is essential for a healthy scalp with a good oil-balance).

- Eggs: protein (!), but also key minerals as selenium, zinc, sulfur and iron. These bring oxygen to the hair follicles and boost your hair strength. 

- Spinarch: keeps your scalp oils circulating due the iron, beta carotene, folate and vitamin C.


 - Lentils: bursting with protein, zinc, iron, biotin.

- Greek yoghurt: low-fat and protein-rich! Also contains bitamin B-5 (an ingrediënt often seen on hair care products) and vitamin D.


- Blueberries: the best vitamin C source, essential for scalp circulation, too little vitamin C leats to hair breakage. 

- Poultry: protein, zinc, iron, vitamin B - for strong and plentiful hair!

What products: 

If you want to see serious enchancement when it comes to your hair go get any Keratase product that suits your hair type best! It works magic, promise.

 

Also use a conditioner, if it makes your hair too greasy you can just apply it to the ends of your hair (not your scalp).  

 

I personally always use the Gliss Kur total repair wonder serum-spray with liquid keratin. (a white bottle, I spray it on the ends of my hair when it's towel dry)

If you use anything with heat (straightner, curl tong, blow dryer,...) use a HEAT PROTECTOR! (The Andrélon/Keratase ones are very good, it's not so important which one you pick as long as you use a heat protector). 

If your hair is broken, damaged or has split ends cut it and use a hair mask. I wrap moist hair in a plastic bag with a hair mask/conditioner and walk around with it for about a half hour before shower. Then I was it off and use shampoo. You won't believe the softness....

 

You could aso do the same with pure coconut oil! Incredible results, but make sure you wash it off well. You can find it at most bio shops. 

 

Don't wash your hair every day! I wash mine every two days. You can perfectly shower without making your hair wet.
