Pro Tip 1: Do not over wash your hair
Your hair’s natural oils are designed to condition and protect your hair. Over-washing strips these vital oils away & makes your hair dry which leads to breakage. Also, it creates a vicious cycle of over-production of oils and a need to shampoo very often. How often one needs to wash their hair differs from person to person basis their scalp and hair type. For dry hair with a dry scalp, you may only need to wash your hair once a week and for oily hair with an oily scalp, it may be 3 times per week.
STEP 2: Use A Restoring Hair Care Conditioner
Conditioning helps in detangling your hair and leaves you with shiny & smooth hair. Use a conditioner like the L’Oréal Paris Dream Lengths Super Detangling Conditioner that instantly detangles to reduce breakage and can help add moisture and shine which makes it easier to style your hair.

Pro Tip 2: Use a conditioner as a prewash
Using a conditioner before shampoo is called reverse hair washing. Reverse washing gives your strands the hydration and nourishment they need from the conditioner without making them feel heavy.
Pro Tip 3: Use an old cotton t-shirt instead of a towel to dry
Drying your hair roughly with a towel increases the chances of breakage. Instead, opt for a cotton t-shirt. Because of the soft cotton fabric, the hair shaft is not caused to fray when you wrap it to dry and the strands are kept sleeker within the fabric, reducing the likelihood of frizz or damage.
Pro Tip 4: Do don’t brush out your wet hair
And as much as you want to, don’t brush out your hair when it’s wet. Instead of brushing, you can use a wide-toothed comb. Use a reverse combing method which will help in reducing the hair fall significantly.
STEP 3: Use A Hair Treatment Cream
To keep your lengths and ends visibly healthy, add a hair treatment to your regular routine. Use the L’Oréal Paris Dream Lengths No Haircut Cream Leave-In Conditioner that is formulated with a blend of castor oil, vegetal keratin and essential vitamins that helps seal split ends. Apply it on damp hair starting from the mid-lengths to the ends. Leave it on and style your hair as usual. Additionally, it offers up to 180-degree heat protection which will help you protect your hair before heat styling.

Pro Tip 4: No-heat waves
This is the perfect method for beachy waves and large voluminous curls.
For this, put on a headband. Now, section your hair into two halves and start wrapping them around the headband. Once you get to the end of your hair, pin them to secure in place and repeat this on the other side. You can go to bed with your hair wrapped around the headband or just go about your day as is. Once your hair is completely dry, unpin it and let it down and you’ll have lovely waves.
