One of the primary causes of hair product build-up is hair which has not been adequately rinsed during the shampoo and conditioning rinse-out cycles. Washing hair in the shower will help prevent build-up versus washing hair in a sink or tub where sections of the hair may accidentally retain product.
1. Before purchasing products have a clear understanding of your hair type, texture, condition and historical styling needs.
2. Utilize only basic styling product necessities to create the desired hairdo.
3. Look for products which perform double duty in one formula.
4. Read labels very carefully. What you don’t know may hurt your tresses.
5. Avoid products with ingredients known to weigh hair down or cause clogging and blockage.
6. Pay close attention to your hair to check for any dehydration, scalp flaking, itching or related build-up issues.
7. Be careful to apply products in such a manner that scalp does not become coated.
8. Use the lightest product possible to create the best style. If your hair requires hold, try mousse before gels and creams.
9. Use wax or paste sparingly, especially on hair prone to build-up issues.
10. Spray products from the proper distances. Avoid using cheap products known to overcoat strands.
11. Follow a less is more principle.
12. Distribute products appropriately. Always mix well in palms of hands before applying and utilize picks or combs to distribute well.
13. Search for hair styling products which offer both conditioning and hold. Many are compressed to offer a combo of benefits. This saves you from using more products than necessary and is also economical.
14. Consider using products which control or block humidity. This will help you resist the temptation to reapply hairspray throughout the day to “fix” your hair.
