My Tips/Tricks To Hide Damaged Hair {Watch to WIN}

Does anyone else dream about having locks like this?

{preferably ones that can look like that with minimal effort...}

Or is this just me?

Winter can do brutal things to your hair, especially if you have long hair like myself. I know that for me, whenever spring is approaching I like to get a fresh cut trim (since I'm a wuss and can't cut off more than just an inch or two) to make sure my hair is looking healthy again.

I found this short video about how to hide damaged hair extremely helpful. 

Take a look....

Have you ever thought of trying this?

Here's how I typically combat those damaged ends of mine from time to time  in a similar way as the video... .

I use the 3 minute miracle in the shower at least once a week, the Dove oil care (love!) every other day before I blow dry, and just a simple comb to get the tangles out of my hair...

(comb will be used later for teasing too!)

then, I use this curling iron (from Sally's) to make large curls at the ends, as shown in the video.
I do this a lot when I'm in a rush and don't have time to really curl all of my hair!

 A little trick (if you can call it this) I like to do to hide my damaged ends a little more is to wear it half up, half down. Why? Because if my ends are really dry, the one's at the top and in the front are usually the worst. By wearing your hair half up, those top/front pieces will be pulled back.

Use your comb to tease the crown of your hair a bit (or have your friend do it like I did ;)) and pin back with a couple bobby pins.

 

  So, let's review some ways to hide those damaged ends:
+use curling iron to give your hair body/style
+get a haircut every 4-6 weeks (even if it's just a trim!)
+use a deep conditioner once a week
+buy some Dove oil care..you'll love it. Trust me.

...also, make sure you are using a heat protection spray!   I also like to lightly curl my hair using a wand, but you'll find out more about that in another post ...stay tuned!
