Do you ever look in the mirror and feel overwhelmed by the task of just controlling your hair? You may not be the only one. Unruly hair is a common everyday problem that can be both exasperating and embarrassing. But don’t worry; you don’t have to live with it forever. With some simple grooming techniques, you can “tame the mane” and regain control of your locks in no time. In this article, we’ll discuss how to manage unruly hair and restore order to your everyday beauty regime.
1. Channel Your Inner Lion: Tame Your Mane
- Invest in the right tools: Step one to taming your mane is investing in the right tools. The right comb, brush, and products will make getting through your hair easier. Flat brushes help distribute oils through the roots of your hair and smoothing the cuticles. Investing in a quality brush and comb will make all the difference.
- Part your hair: Separate your hair into vertical sections with a comb and part it into different sections. After doing this, you can secure each section with a hair clip. This will make it easier to manage and style your hair.
Now that is done, the next step is ready to be taken! Dry brushing is the next step in the taming process and it involves brushing your hair while it’s still wet. Do this with your flat brush to help detangle knots and reduce frizziness. Plus, if done correctly, it can make styling easier after your hair has been dried.
Finally, the last step is to protect your strands. A heat protectant helps to protect your strands from the damaging effects of heat tools. This will keep your hair looking healthy and bouncy and will also make styling much easier.
Adding these simple steps into your haircare routine will make it much simpler to tame and style your mane. Now, you can channel your inner lion and show off your beautiful locks!
2. Begin at the Beginning: Prepping the Hair
When it comes to styling, the easiest way to guarantee success is by starting off with a good foundation. Hair styling is no different! Properly prepping your hair before any styling is key to achieving desired results with ease. Here’s how you can prep your hair for styling:
- Start with clean hair: Wash your hair with a product that is designed for your hair type and texture. This will ensure your hair is free from any product residue or dirt build up.
- Detangle & blowdry : Use a detangling comb to minimize breakage, then use a blowdryer to get rid of any excess moisture.
- Apply a heat protectant: This is an absolute must, as it prevents damage to your hair and ensures that you are able to style with heat tools without the fear of heat damage.
For extra protection and to add more definition to your waves, add a product such as a moisturizing cream or leave-in conditioner. With these easy steps, your hair is now ready for styling.
3. Top Tips for Taming Unruly Hair
1. Invest in Quality Hair Products: If you have extremely unruly hair, you know the frustration that comes with spending money on products that claim to tame your hair, only to later find out that they did absolutely nothing. The solution? Invest in decent-quality hair products. Shop around for the ones that work best for you and your hair type.
2. Use Heat Carefully: When it comes to taming unruly hair, heat is your friend when used carefully. Start by using a heat-protectant spray before using any heat-based tools, such as straighteners, curlers or hairdryers. Make sure to keep the temperature low, as high temperatures can damage your hair in the long run.
3. Try New Hairstyles: While heat styling can be helpful to tame your frizz, it’s also worth exploring some unique hairstyles. Try out different braids, buns and ponytails to find that perfect style that will keep your unruly hair tamed for hours.
4. Try Natural Methods: Natural methods to tame unruly hair include:
- Apple cider vinegar rinse
- Coconut oil
- Aloe vera gel
- Sea salt spray
- Avocado mask
The key is to experiment with different ingredients until you find the one that works best for you and your hair.
4. When in Doubt, Refine and Shine
When you’re stuck in a rut and don’t know what to do, the best approach may be to take a step back and refine and shine. Sometimes, the simplest manner in which to improve something is to take a deep breath and evaluate what has been done. Refining and shining can be applied to a wide variety of projects, from creative to technical endeavors.
First, take a close look at what you’ve previously accomplished. Can anything be added or improved? How can you make it more bold and striking? Looking at the project (and, if need be, at related endeavors) with fresh eyes can often reveal more areas of potential.
Second, once you’ve taken a step back, assess the finer details. What works well? What could be improved? Focusing on the details — the fonts used, the spacing, the colors, the images, the animations, the audio — can be a useful exercise to make an impressive final product.
Third, take the time to refine and polish the project. Don’t be afraid to make small tweaks here and there, to add that final, professional touch. Even the most minute aspect can make all the difference. Once you’ve done that, you’ll be ready to release the project into the world.
- Take a step back and evaluate
- Assess the finer details
- Refine and polish
Ultimately, when you’re unsure of your next move, it can be beneficial to take a step back and refine and shine. Doing so can help add those all important last touches to a project and can result in a polished and professional finished piece.
