How To Get Smooth Sleek Hair In Five Easy Steps

Brought to you by TRESemmé Given the Irish climate, good hair days aren't always attainable. The humidity worsens static and frizz, the wind has you looking like you were pulled through a hedge backwards (to borrow a 'Mammy' phrase) and the rain, well we all know what effect that has. However, equipped with the right tools and products, you can get good hair at home without having to fork out for salon prices. 1. Select your shampoo and conditioner carefully If you want big and bouncy hair, you'll opt for volumising products but if you want a sleek, smooth look, you'll need to look for a different line. The TRESemmé Keratin Smooth range keeps hair smooth for up to 48 hours, which is actually ideal. Spending time on perfect hair means you want it to last. Keratin Smooth Shampoo and Conditioner add nourishment to each strand, leaving it smooth, shiny and better still, easy to manage. 2. Use the right type of hairbrush It's all too easy to grab the first brush that comes to hand but choosing the right one can make a huge difference to your blow-dry. Regular use of plastic and nylon bristles can lead to hair breakage whereas boar bristles are kinder on your locks. 3. Preparation is key Using a treatment helps to replenish moisture to the hair, prepping it for that salon-perfect finish. The TRESemmé Keratin Smooth 60 Second Treatment Shot is a good option when you're in a hurry as it only needs to be left on for a minute. Rinse it off and your hair is noticeably silkier than before and another step closer to that sleek style. Shiny smooth sleek healthy hair can be yours too... 4. Remember to rough dry There is absolutely no point in trying to blow dry your hair from the get-go. Your arms will get sore and the hairdryer can cause unnecessary damage to your locks. As you probably notice from going to the hairdresser, most stylists air dry it first and if it's good enough for the experts, it's good enough for us. 5. Finish off in style At this stage, you should have the smooth and sleek boxes ticked but if you want to add extra shine, a couple of drops of hair oil can work wonders. Be careful about how much you use as you don't want to go overboard and end up with greasy hair. Just warm a little Just warm a little TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Beautifying Oil between your palms and run it through the ends of your hair, avoiding the roots, to amplify shine.
