This time of the semester things are starting to get pretty hectic. Tests, group projects, and papers are piling high as we approach the last month before finals. Our time is limited, we are becoming sleep-deprived zombies, and the idea of looking nice is at the bottom of our lists.
However, if your hair looks good, everything else should follow, right? For those collegiettes who just do not have the time, here are six silky hair hacks to keep your locks rockin’ during these difficult times:
1. Showering with cold water
You have to take a shower anyway, so why not take a colder shower than you usually would in order to help your hair? Cold water will lock in the natural moisture and close your cuticles to preserve ~silky smooth~ hair.
2. Protective serums
You don’t just want your hair to be silky and smooth, you also want to turn up that shine! By using protective heat serums as well as oils like Moroccan oil, your hair will feel sleek, look lustrous, and be effortlessly shiny.
3. Use a wide tooth comb
To get rid of frizz and reduce breakage that causes tangles, comb through your damp hair with a wide tooth comb. This will easily detangle your hair, while also keeping strands healthy and intact.
4. Don’t over-wash your hair
Over-washing your hair can strip your hair away from its oils that keep it healthy and soft. By not over-washing your hair you will leave it looking naturally moisturized. If you need to spruce it up a bit in between washes, meet our best friend ~dry shampoo~.
5. Sleep on a silk pillowcase
Sleeping on satin not only feels nice, but your luscious locks will thank you greatly! All you need is a satin pillowcase to reduce your frizz and breakage. After that, you can snooze away and wake up looking ~fabulous~!
6. Air-dry your hair
Forget the blow dryer that takes forever to dry your hair and causes damage. Let your hair air-dry, because the less heat tools you use on your hair, the softer it will be. Plus, blow-drying your hair will be one less thing you have to worry about and can be on your way!
