4 Things to Do to Make Your Straight Hair Look and Feel Healthy Every Day

1. Go easy on the conditioner.

Too much conditioner can weigh your hair down, making it look limp and flat. And since straight hair often has the gloss that conditioners offer naturally, it’s not necessary to lather on a conditioner every day. Instead, use a lightweight conditioner like Biolage Hydra Aqua Gel Conditioner every other or every third day, and apply it only from mid-length to the ends of your hair.

2. Say goodbye to oily roots

Wash your hair using a mild shampoo like DESIGNLINE Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner. Be sure to avoid shampoos that contain ingredients like sulfate and alcohol because they can be especially damaging to straight hair.

3. Prevent snarls and knots

Frequent trims are the best way to prevent hair from getting snarled or knotted. If your hair frequently gets snarly, it’s been too long since the last cut. You can also prevent hair snarls by spraying a smoothing product like Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum onto damp hair, then combing through gently using a wide-tooth comb or a Wet Brush.
