2. Detangle with care. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Hair in knots? Fear not. Use a wide-tooth comb first, starting at the tips of the hair and working up toward the scalp taking short strokes. Graduate to a finer-tooth comb after you\u2019ve untangled your snarls. Alternatively, use a paddle brush after the wide-tooth comb. Go slow, don\u2019t ever pull too hard and take a step back if there\u2019s too much resistance. Don\u2019t worry, all that brushing and combing helps make your hair look a lot silkier, Lyon says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Keep frizz at bay. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If your hair is coarse and curly, celebrity stylist Tommy Buckett recommends using a cream styling product on your curls<\/a> when they\u2019re damp\u2014and then again when they\u2019re dry. This type of hair loves moisture, so the double dose of product prevents it from absorbing atmospheric moisture and getting frizzy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPeople don\u2019t realize how important the quality of water is in protecting hair color,\u201d says celebrity colorist Sharon Dorram. \u201cOne the most common problems I see with highlighted hair is that my clients leave the salon with bright sparkling streaks and return eight to ten weeks later with dull, brassy color,\u201d Dorram says. This is due to the buildup of minerals in the water. Dorram recommends using a clarifying shampoo or vinegar rinse once a week. If the problem is severe, then a shower water filter is a must. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When washing your hair, apply shampoo directly to the scalp to lift extra oil and eliminate odor, says Eliut Rivera, owner of the Eliut Rivera Salon in New York City. When rinsing, run shampoo through the ends. Concentrate conditioner on the ends of the hair, not the crown. This will keep hair clean and hydrated without compromising volume.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n To create volume when blow drying, Rivera says, \u201cdivide your hair in four to eight sections and mist each one with a strong hair spray.\u201d\u00a0 When hair is dry, apply texture spray, concentrating on the roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSpray the inside of your hats with Static Guard to help stop static,\u201d says Nicole Casamassima, a freelance stylist in New York City. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Part your hair in the opposite direction you would normally before pulling on your hat, adds Casamassima. Then, when you take off the hat and shake out your hair, it won\u2019t be flattened to your head. <\/p>\n\n\n\n4. Beat color-dulling buildup. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
