Be sure you are washing your hair thoroughly. You want to wash out all the dirt, build-up and get your hair clean so, wash your scalp and strands for at least one minute.
4. Use Natural Oils
When in doubt, use the oils you have right at home like olive oil, and coconut oil to give you extra conditioning and shine. Apply to your tips pre-shower and then rinse out.

Hot water can strip your essential oils, leaving it feeling drier and duller, so try not to use hot water when you wash your hair.
