Take care of your hair

Taking care of your long hair can make it look even better.

If you have long hair you know that taking care of it can become a little bit tricky, but be honest to us, isn’t it worth it to watch your hair being shiny, manageable and healthy after all the work you have done to make and maintain your hair as healthy and beautiful as it can.

Taking care of your hair is, as we stated before, no a thing that it happens from one day to the other, this actually can become a full day job with all the care you need to apply for it, but we promise you that it is completely worth it to watch your hair being shiny, healthy and manageable when going out.

Everyone is going to ask what you do to it to have it so beautiful.

Keep in mind that taking care of your hair is not just placing some hair products on your hair that and having it look wonderful in ten minutes, quite contrary actually, taking care of your hair is a full time job.

Trimming: We know what you may wondering, will not trimming my hair make it shorter? Well, yes it will, but if you don’t trim open and damaged tips your hair while it will grow faster it will grow unhealthy and frizzy.

If you don’t care about that then you will not have any problem.

Avoid sulfate: Most shampoos have a chemical named sulfate, this chemical work in shampoo is mostly to make it create the foam so many people love about shampooing their hair.

But the truth is that it can also dry up your hair and make it look frizzy, especially if you have dry hair.

Reducing the amount of times you shampoo: Washing your hair is thought to be an everyday necessity, but that it is just a myth, you just need to lower the amounts of times you wash your hair during the week, if you do it every other day you can see a difference with your hair in short time.

Avoiding heat damage: Heat damage is a very big causer of split and burned ends, this happens thanks to extreme use of hair tools like flatting iron and hair dryers.

Lowering the use on this hair tools can make a huge difference in the way your hair looks at the end of the day. If you are in a position where you really need to use them then take care of your long hair with heat protector for the hair.

Oils can be your friends: Oils are a great option for your hair, they not only have nutrients, but they can also deeply hydrate your hair.

You can apply them to your hair for 15 to 30 minutes on the scalp of your head before washing your hair in order to allow your hair to absorb the nutrients.

Brushing: brushing your hair while being ‘dirty’ (meaning that it has built up its natural oils) is something amazing for your hair, while passing the comb through your long hair you will be spreading these natural oils with a crazy amount of good nutrients for your hair.

Another way of taking care of your hair while brushing it is to brush your hair from the tipsy tips of your hair and slowly moving upwards towards the roots.

This is so you don’t go breaking your hair by forcing it to untangle all the knots at once, which is what happens when you brush it from the roots towards the tips.

By brushing it upwards you are slowly untangling your hair and letting it have as much of a break it needed, remember that good hair care starts with preventing the damage.

But make sure that you don’t separate them too much as the second, or lower, ponytail will be too noticeable, so you need to find the distance that works better for you.

Buns are also a great option for you to tie your hair.

Buns are somewhat similar to ponytails, but instead of having your hair hanging down and moving with you, it will be twisted up sort of in a bun shape (from there their name) so you will be almost completely free from your hair when wearing this hairstyle.

You have plenty of options when trying to do a bun, there are pretty simple buns for amateurs as well as people who don’t really have too much practice with doing hairstyles.

And there are other for more experienced people who do have more practice and abilities at the moment of applying hairstyles.

Now, we’re going to explain how to do the simplest of these buns:

2. Gather your hair up: To gather your hair all you need to do is brush it with either a hair brush or even your fingers towards where you want to place the bun (top, middle or lower part of your head), making sure there are no bumps or stray hairs around your head.
3. Tie your hair up: Grab a head band and start by tying your hair up as if it were a ponytail, when you are passing your hair thought the head band the third time you should pass it just halfway in order for you to end up with sort of a loop.
4. Perfect the look: once you are done with all the steps you should take little time to make the hairstyle look as you want it to. All you need to do is take a look in the mirror and decide if you want more or less loose strands of hair framing your face.

These steps are for the simplest bun we could find, of course there are plenty of more bun hairstyles out there that you can try out, like the top knot or the rose one.

This does not mean that this simple and quick look can’t be fashionable!

You will just need to take a little more time to make it look a little bit more how you want it to look, and maybe add some decorated hair accessories to make pop out more.

Two buns

If you don’t want to do just one bun, then the known space buns may be the perfect option for you.

We know that sometimes hairstyles can feel like the same over and over again, but if you like having your hair un in a bun then you can try the space buns.

3. Gather up your hair, brushing it with your fingers or a brush in order to avoid any bumps or hairs out of place. During this step you can leave out some stray hairs if you want them to as well as leaving your bangs out.

Multiple buns

You can also do multiple buns in a vertical line.

If you liked the idea of having two or more buns in your head, but don’t really like the idea of adding them at either side of your head then you can try with a really simple and easy multiple vertical buns hairstyle.

2. Divide your hair horizontally in three sections. One at the top of your head, one at the middle and one at the bottom, tie them loosely with a bun, ponytail or with hair clips in order to not mix them together while working in each individual section of hair.
3. Once you divided and clipped your long hair it is time to pick a section to work with first. We recommend for you to start with the top one so there’s no option for the other hair piece falling on you while you are working on them.
4. This step consists on you gathering your hair brushing it towards where the bun is going to be. Brush the hair back with a hair brush or even with your fingers to make sure there are no lumps or imperfections at the moment of tying up your hair.
5. Tie up your hair, the easier way to tie your hair up is with a hairband, just tie your hair up as if you were doing a ponytail and when you are passing the hair through the hair band for the third time do it just halfway in order to end up with sort of a loop.
