Caring for your hair at home can seem like an overwhelming task. Every process seems time-consuming and you’re not even sure where to begin. I used to dread wash day as I never enjoyed spending over an hour washing, conditioning, and treating my hair.
There’s a plethora of hair hacks, making it hard to decide which are worth trying. To shed some light on the good ones, we reached out to Lisa Price, founder of leading haircare brand Carol’s Daughter, and celebrity hairstylist Charlene Spiller to recommend natural and curly hair hacks to try at home.
SCALP MASSAGE
“A scalp massage is always a good thing to do,” says Price. Gentle pressure and light motions immediately increase circulation and amplify red blood cells, which promotes growth and rejuvenation.
Hair massagers, like Vitagoods Scalp Massaging Shampoo Brush ($16; target.com), offer a gentle alternative to scrubbing and exfoliating your scalp with your fingers. Add extra nutrients to your massage by applying a bit of coconut or olive oil.
