1. Hair Oiling
Hair oiling deeply nourishes your hair, prevents dryness, and makes your hair super soft and glossy. Here's how to do it:
Rosemary oil on your roots (Massage it in) - stimulates growth and boosts scalp health
Argan & coconut oil on your mids and ends - hydrates, prevents split ends and makes your hair shiny
It‘s best to leave it on for 2-3 hours. After that double shampoo very well to remove the oil (I recommend this shampoo: https://amzn.to/3FM3Pq3)
Follow up with conditioner (My favourite one for silky and soft hair: https://amzn.to/4llKoVB) and a leave-in treatment. Honestly, leave-in treatments changed my hair so much! You can get my favourite leave-in treatment here: https://amzn.to/3XJhh4i You dry your hair a bit with a towel and then apply a small amount of this product, without washing it out. You hair will be soo soft and silky + it smells fresh and nice! I do hair oiling once a week.
2. DIY hairmask
This hairmask is simple and will make your hair shiny if used right.
What you need:
1/4 ripe avocado
1 tsp mayo or 1 egg yolk
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp argan oil
Mix everything together, apply it to your mids and ends and leave it in your hair for 30 minutes, then wash it out with shampoo (Do this 1x a week). Make sure to double shampoo throughly after, so the all oil is going out.
3. Protect Your Hair While Sleeping
Not taking proper care of your hair when sleeping can damage it and take the shine. Here's how to keep it smooth overnight:
Sleep with protective hairstyles like a loose braid to prevent breakage
Use a silk pillowcase (Link: https://amzn.to/4cfVoj9), it reduces friction, preventing hair breakage and frizz
Wash your pillow case every 3 days, so it stays fresh
4. Be Gentle with Your Hair
Brush carefully: Use a gentle brush and start detangling from the ends, working your way up.
Avoid heat styling: Instead of curling irons, try overnight waves by braiding damp hair before bed or using tools like this for beautiful waves: https://amzn.to/4lfJidU

🥚Eggs - Full of biotin and protein for strong, shiny hair
🥑Avocados - Rich in healthy fats that make hair smooth and glossy

🫐Berries - Packed with antioxidants to protect and strengthen hair
