5 simple steps to adopt every day to have beautiful hair without too much effort, according to a hairdresser: Femme Actuelle Le MAG

To have beautiful hair, there are a multitude of little things to do. You must adopt good food hygiene and a hair routine adapted to your hair type, whether oily, fine, dry or colored. But certain small everyday actions can also make a difference, such as shampooing with your head tilted forward or avoiding removing your hair elastic by pulling on it so as not to cause hair loss.

But sometimes you feel like you’re doing everything right without seeing results on your hair and you don’t necessarily have the budget to invest in new products or salon treatments. Don’t panic, on TikTok, the famous Parisian hairdresser Pierre Carli revealed five tips for having beautiful hair without spending a single cent!

Hair: a hairdresser reveals 5 tips for having beautiful hair

Rinse hair well

The hairdresser starts with an essential: rinsing. If you feel like you have hair “sticky“or that your mask weighs down your hair, for Pierre Carli”in 80% of cases, it is not rinsed enough, so we insist on rinsing“.

Drain hair before applying a mask

The second important point for him is to always make sure to wring out his hair before applying his mask. “If the hair is waterlogged, it will not be able to absorb the treatment“, he says, even going so far as to imagine, specifying that an application on soaked hair amounts to “throw your mask at the bottom of the shower“. Not ideal for the wallet! By wringing the hair well, less product is needed to properly hydrate the hair fiber, so your mask will last longer.

Leave treatment under heat

Then, he recommends putting your treatment under heat. For those who have a heated cap, it will therefore be useful but the expert specifies that this can easily be done with a towel (ideally in microfibers) which is passed under boiling water before putting it around of the head. “It opens the scales and maximizes and makes the effect of the mask profitable.“, explains Pierre Carli.

Do not rub the towel on the lengths

The hairdresser also emphasizes the importance of limiting friction, particularly when drying the hair with a towel (always microfiber). You should not rub the fabric along its lengths, as it mimics the movement. Instead, it’s best to gently press the towel against your hair from the top down.

Dry hair well

He ends with a fifth tip: dry your hair well. He specifies that this is particularly important for bleached hair, because it is very fragile when it is saturated with water, “it will resist friction less well, it is more elastic“. He then advises using “a hair dryer, respectful, which will not burn it and always with a thermal protector, there is nothing safer for the health of the hair“. He compares in particular to the fact of “sleep with wet hair when it is most fragile and let it rub for hours“.
