Daniel's Tip #3, Shampooing Your Hair

Okay! So now that you had some beauty sleep, you're going to need a few tools to get through this morning.

I'm sure you've not washed your hair for at least one day before, but the idea is that we don't immediately go for the ponytail!

First necessity:
A Shower Cap


This one is from the Bathina line at Benefit, isn't it super retro and cute!

So hide your hair under your shower cap and then use your normal bathing routine, shower, bathe, whatever you like!


Now, the nice thing is that this cuts some time out of your shower routine. For day one, you are likely not going to need a whole lot of fluffing. If you slept with butterfly clips in, your hair probably still has a little volume. But just to be safe, grab your hair dryer, and on the lower, warm setting, flip your head over, and just blast your roots while you brush downward (remember you're upside down). What we're doing is trying to get the oils that have come to the root of the hair folicle to move down the hair shaft. Using a natural bristled brush is best for this, though they are expensive and an investment! So start by using what you have.

You don't have to go all Marsha Brady on me, but give it a good brush, maybe 3 minutes? And remember, the heat is really just for a little bit of oomph, not to dry, so just focus on the roots and avoid the delicate, dry ends.
