So, to help you fight product build up and ensure your locks always look and feel their best, we've put together some helpful hair tips that you can try at home.
Choose the Right Hair Styling Products
If you don't know your hair type then our Free Consultation: Know Your Hair Texture and Elasticity will help narrow it down so that you can buy your styling products accordingly. It's also a good idea to ask the advice of a professional hairstylist the next time you're in the salon. They see all types of hair in every texture available and can help you identify your exact hair type and offer advice on which products will work best.
Apply the Right Amount
Once you have your product type and usage under control then it's time to tackle getting rid of any existing build up and stopping build up from taking over your hairstyle again.
Detox Your Hair
Another way to keep product build up at bay is to cut back on the amount of products you use. If your hairstyle can be created only using mousse instead of mousse, gel and hairspray then give it a go. The only products we don't recommend cutting back on is heat protection products. They are a must and will limit hair damage.
Our last product eliminating tip is to ensure that you apply your shampoo and conditioner correctly and that you wash your hair the right way. Shampoo residue can also build up in your strands and if you don't wash your shampoo and conditioner out properly then they will interfere with the condition of your hair and your hairstyle.
To get the best result from your shampoo, never directly pour your shampoo onto your head. Simply add a small amount to your palms and rub them together with water to create some lather and then add the lather to your roots. When you rinse, the lather will wash through the rest of your lengths and clean your hair. You can even go a step further by mixing your shampoo in a container of water until you've got some suds and then pouring the diluted mix over your strands. It cuts down on the amount of product going into your hair, and will even help you to save some money.
With these simple tips in mind you should be able to fight any hair styling product build up and stop it from ruining your hairstyle.
