Budget hair care tips

For anyone their hair is an important part of their appearance. With an increasing amount of hair extensions companies in the UK, thousands of hair care products on the market and the latest technology for hair styling, it would be hard not to get confused. Here I have compiled a list of tips to save you time and money.

1.  Use less product

Brush your hair through before you wash it so the shampoo will work evenly through the hair. You should only be using a small amount of shampoo, about the size of a 10 pence piece, anymore it will weigh down your hair and make it greasy.

2.  Colouring

Hairdressers charge a small fortune to colour your hair and there are some great home colour kits that provide you with great results at a great price.

3 Look for offers

Boots always do great offers on hair products. Online retailers such as feelunique.co.uk also always have offers on great hair brands.

4. Look after your hair

If you look after your hair your hair won’t break and you won’t need to visit the hairdresser as regularly for trims. Use a wide tooth comb when hair is soaking wet to prevent breakage. Leaving your hair to dry naturally will also give your hair a break from heat that is damaging to your hair.

5. Don’t believe the hype

Magazines often tell us how often it is to fork out a lot of money on expensive shampoos but actually many expensive shampoos use different chemicals that’s more damaging than beneficial to your hair. A regular shampoo brand will suffice.

6. Olive oil

No fear if you’ve ran out of conditioner, pour a cupful and warm it in the microwave with 1 minute and smooth through dry hair. Wrap your hair in a warm towel and leave for twenty minutes. Shampoo out and enjoy silky smooth hair!
