Long for thick, shiny, healthy locks? Believe it or not our hair doesn't need excess products to treat, condition and protect it and the less is more approach can often reap the best results!

You can achieve healthy looking hair by going back to basics with the following tips! 

• Always detangle hair using a tangle teaser before washing - hair is weaker once wet so not detangling beforehand can lead to more hair fall out
• Avoid washing hair daily, instead aim for every 3-4 days
• Concentrate shampoo on the roots and use fingers to massage and cleanse the scalp 
• Reduce the amount of heat styling and use of chemical treatments such as hair dye
• Try having 3 or 4 days per week when your hair is tied up to avoid accidental breakage from excess brushing and heat styling - you could also try adding some coconut oil to the ends then tie your hair in a low bun for a few days
• Avoid thin hair ties and opt for soft, thicker scrunchie-style ties
• Pop hair into a loose braid whilst sleeping 

Healthy hair doesn't come overnight, but by incorporating these simple tips you'll be well on your way to restoring the hair's natural strength and elasticity.
