Hair Care for Social Distancing

During this time of social distancing many salons and barber shops are closed or severely limiting appointments. This means your hair is going without its usual maintenance and may be looking a little worse for wear. Many are still working from home during this time and having bad hair is not ideal for work video conference calls. Other than maintaining a healthy hair and scalp routine, there are things professional stylists say you can do to take care of your hair while self-isolating.

Fixing Faded Color and Roots

Obviously, your colored hair will start to fade without regular touch ups. Using box dyes or trying to bleach your own hair has a high potential of ending in disaster and further damaging your hair. If you’re worried about your roots or faded areas showing you can temporarily mask it by applying eyeshadow or mascara of a similar color and blend it into your hair using your fingers. If you need a quick fix for a video call you can throw on a colorful headscarf, stylish hat, or put your hair in a neat updo.

How to Avoid Split Ends

One way to avoid dry brittle hair is by not over washing your hair and letting it rest. Allowing your hair to be greasy hair for a couple days is not bad. Your hair needs those natural oils it produces to keep your hair moisturized. Washing your hair everyday strips, it of those natural oils which can lead to split ends. Drink plenty of water and apply hair masks or deep conditioners weekly to keep your strands moisturized. Being at home now is a perfect time to give your hair a break from styling. Put down the straighteners and hair dryers and let your natural hair air dry. If you want to put your hair up opt for soft hair ties, like scrunchies, and keep your updo lose.
