It is best not to tie your hair after straightening it. You should also tidy your hair before going to bed, and it is best to comb it smoothly on both sides. If the hair straightening is a one-time process, it only takes one wash, so you should wash your hair two days later.

Washing time

After having your hair straightened at a hair salon, do not wash your hair within three days. If you wash your hair within three days, the straightened hair will quickly deform, the straightening effect will be lost quickly, and your hair will become rough.

Do your hair before bed

Before going to bed, tuck your hair on both sides and comb it straight. When you go to sleep, just divide your hair into two parts and let it hang naturally. Don't press your hair down. This way, the straightened hair will stay in shape for a long time.

Don't wear braids

After pulling the hair, it is best not to tie it into a braid or plait. Only by letting it hang loose can you achieve the effect of straightening the hair. When washing your face or taking a shower, just put on a shower cap.

Control the frequency of shampooing

After straightening your hair, do not wash it too often. Generally, once every two to three days is enough. When washing your hair, choose a repairing shampoo series and use conditioner. Do not use a hair dryer, just let it dry naturally.

Reduce exposure to the sun

After straightening your hair, you must reduce the chances of exposing your hair to the sun, especially in the hot summer. You must take protective measures when going out, such as choosing a good parasol. Excessive exposure to the sun can make your hair dry, yellow and rough.

Do not repeat straightening

Even if the hairdresser is very skilled, the straightened hair will become not so straight after a period of time. At this time, you must not continue to use the flat iron to straighten the hair, otherwise your hair quality will be seriously affected.

Massage your scalp every day

After straightening your hair, remember to massage your scalp every day. It is best to massage your scalp three times a day, morning, noon and evening, each time for only ten minutes. Massaging the scalp in this way can promote blood circulation in the scalp and increase the hair's nutritional needs.

Pay attention to dietary adjustments

During the process of straightening hair, the hair will naturally suffer a series of damages such as severe heat damage. If you want to restore the hair quality, you should also pay attention to adjusting your diet. For example, eat more fruits and vegetables, eat more seafood, and pay attention to water replenishment every day, which can also prevent hair loss.
