Navigating your teenage years comes with its own set of personal care challenges, including keeping your hair in check! From oily scalps to dry ends, we want hair that’s both healthy and easy to manage. Here’s how you can keep your hair looking its best.

Understanding Your Hair

In your teenage years, you might notice your hair getting oilier or drier than usual. Don’t worry, this is perfectly normal and a little know how, combined with the right routine, can work wonders.

Strike a Balance

Daily washing can work for some but be aware of overdoing it. Aim for every other day if you find your hair becoming too dry and use a gentle frequent wash shampoo which is designed for maintaining natural moisture without over cleansing.

Condition with Care

Don't skip the conditioner as it can really help when dealing with dry or frizzy ends. Apply it to the mid lengths and ends of your hair thoroughly and you can avoid the scalp if dealing with very greasy hair. Hair masks can be useful if your hair is very dry, especially if you frequently colour treat or heat style your hair. 

Tackle Styling Smartly

Too much heat can lead to damage. Try creating styles with your hair's natural texture. It saves time, minimises damage and lets your hair work in ways you may not have thought possible. 

Top Tips to Take Away

Moderate Washing

Try washing your hair every other day with a gentle shampoo.

Smart Conditioning

Focus on conditioning the middle and ends of the hair.  

Natural Styling

Reduce the amount of heat styling and experiment with alternative styling products to suit your hair's natural condition and structure.

By understanding and adapting to your hair's needs, you can keep your locks looking fantastic, even through all the hormonal ups and downs. Remember, taking care of your hair now sets the foundation for gorgeous, healthy hair in the future.
