We can’t even count how many times we’ve heard a bride-to-be say: “I’m growing out my hair for the wedding” It’s true, most brides want perfectly styled long hair for the big day. However, it’s one thing to have long hair, it’s another to have long, healthy, shiny hair. The latter can be difficult, but a great hair care routine will do wonders. Here is an example of a hair routine that you should stick to for at least a month before the wedding if you want your hair to have that healthy looking glow on your wedding day, ready for those Instagram-worthy photos.
Shampoo and Conditioner
You don’t have to, in fact, you shouldn’t I wash your hair every single day, 3 to 4 times per week is enough. If you are a blond you need to alternate between a purple shampoo and a hydrating shampoo. Purple shampoo and conditioner will rid your blonde hair of any brassiness. However, you shouldn’t use it all the time, so alternate with a hydrating shampoo and conditioner. Find a brand that works for your hair type.
Deep Conditioner
Use a deep conditioning treatment at least once a week. This really helps to keep your hair soft and healthy. Deep conditioning can restore or maintain the strength of the hair strand so it is able to withstand day-to-day stressors without sustaining damage.
Hair Oil
A little of this stuff goes a long way for growing hair out. Hair oil is not just for thick or dry and coarse hair; even thin, fine and oily locks can reap the benefits. It’s just a matter of finding a right product. Use about a dime size of hair oil and apply it to towel dried hair. If your roots end to oil quickly you should avoid them.
Brush
Sometimes, the things that seem like they should be simple tasks, are the toughest to figure out. That is the case with hair brushing. You might think that it’s simple as picking up a brush or a comb and going through your hair, but actually, there is a whole science to it. You should brush your hair before washing it, to get rid of any tangles. Always brush your hair from the bottom up, little by little, to avoid any breakage or hair damage.
Heat Styling Spray
Avoid heat styling tools as much as you can, and absolutely do not use heat on a daily basis. If you have to blow dry your hair or use a hair straightener always use a heat styling spray. Look for one that goes up to a high temperature and has a little bit of hold.
Shine Spray
The final step in your hair care routine should be the shine spray. It will make your hair look sleek and polished. The best shine spray or serum is the ultimate defense against dull hair.
Follow this hair care regimen and by the time those wedding bells ring, you hair will super shiny and healthy ready to put it in a gorgeous updo or wear it down in bohemian-style curls. That being said, the best way to grow your hair strong and healthy is having the right nutrients: B vitamins are good for your hair (and heart) and Omega 3 fatty acids. Hair growth products that contain biotin, also known as vitamin B7 have become very popular, but it’s up to you whether you want to give it a try. But good rule of thumb to remember is that everything that is good for you, it is good for your hair.
