After shampooing and conditioning, it's important to detangle. Spritz some leave-in conditioner throughout your hair and begin combing through! Using a leave-in helps detangle locks as well as smooth excess frizz. Most leave-ins nowadays have a heat protectant in it as well, 2-in-one!

Step #5: Moisture boost
If you are letting your hair dry, or styling with hot tools, you need a hair oil. Finish off your look by adding a little bit of moisture back in. A simple dime sized amount is plenty, and keep to the ends of your hair. Try to avoid the roots to reduce the look of greasy hair. And if things are feeling extra dry, start hair oiling your scalp + strands before bed.
