Maintaining a Low Haircut

MULIKATU MUKAILA

When you decide to change your entire look by keeping a low haircut, you have freed yourself from the burden of spending the whole day in the salon. When carrying a low-cut, your hair is also free from breakage, dandruffs and other hair fungi that prevent the hair from growing. But all the same, that does not mean you won’t maintain your low-cut if you want to get the very best result. Here are some tips to keeping a low haircut.

1. While keeping a short hair, don’t make it a habit to relax regularly even if you have undergrowth. 2. Wash and condition your hair twice a week with a shampoo and conditioner designed for the treated hair only. Make sure you also use a leave-in conditioner after every wash. Only comb through the hair with a wide-toothed comb and never brush while it is wet as the hair can break in this wet state. 3. Avoid using extreme heat on your hair to style. If possible, try to avoid heat all together. Use other methods of achieving curls and style settings like magnetic rollers, wet setting and curl formers. Heat should only be used on special occasions, not every day. 4. Deep-condition your hair every two weeks to retain more moisture and strength. Use a creamy deep conditioner that has some mild protein and moisturising ingredients on your damp hair after a wash. Let it sit in your hair for about 40 minutes before rinsing. Deep conditioning provides a measure of preventative damage from frequent manipulation and styling of your hair.

5. Also, drink plenty of water and get an adequate amount of rest to reduce stress.You should exercise regularly to be healthy as your hair is part of your body and will suffer if it’s growing from an unhealthy scalp.

6. Take out time, like twice or three times a month, to visit your stylist so you can get the adequate hair treatments; with that, your hair will be on point.
