A lot of people ask me what I use on my hair to make it soft, smooth, smell good or long. Sorry to break it to you but to make it long you need patience
and time haha. My hair is naturally smooth/ soft because it's straight but I have noticed that some products help it become even softer or smoother. So I'm going to make this post to answer all those questions.
I wash my hair about every two to three days because I don't want to over dry it but it depends on your hair type. I use herbal essences shampoo and apply conditioner every time. When I started using this shampoo and conditioner I noticed a lot of differences. First off I noticed my hair looked overall better, shiny, smooth, etc. It was also one of those shampoos that leave your hair smelling REALLY good (unlike some that just smell when out of the bottle and after you rinse your hair it doesn't smell like anything.) My secret to make my hair feel really soft is too apply conditioner and not just leave it there, I massage it in and play with it for two minutes before rinsing. I am in love with herbal essences and STRONGLY recommend it. I use herbal essences for long hair, volume, and the one for smoothness.
I like to let my hair air dry when I can and try to avoid heat because it's not the best thing for your hair. but if you do use heat always wear heat protection! I also don't dye it because I don't need too and i don't want to damage it.
Try brushing your hair when it's dry because it will break easily if you comb it when wet. I brush my hair very THOROUGHLY and that helps it look shinier, smoother, and straighter. But don't overdo it because it can damage hair and make it end up looking dull. I often wear my hair up so the elastics give me a lot of flyaways by breaking my hair so to calm those down I use tigi bed head after party.
When I wear my hair up in a sleek hairstyle all my annoying baby hairs show so I use hair spray but too much hairspray can easily become a sticky mess or make your hair look like a wet rock, lol. So my trick is get a new toothbrush spray it with hairspray and comb the baby hairs, it works amazing and looks natural.
