Restore your post-summer-vacation locks and get enviable back-to-school hair with tips from Mayraki Professional Expert, Eliza Pineda.
After indulging in the sun, sea, and pool during the summer break, your hair deserves some special attention to restore its brilliance. Eliza Pineda, the in-house hair care expert at Mayraki Professional, comes to the rescue with straightforward tips that will effortlessly rejuvenate your tresses.
Hair Expert’s Back-to-School Hair Care Tips
“Your hair isn’t just an accessory; it’s an integral part of your overall presentation. It’s also a big part of how you express yourself and your personality. A good hair day can boost your confidence and set a positive tone for the day ahead. And the best way to ensure you always have a good hair day is to invest in the health of your locks,” emphasises Eliza Pineda.
Back-to-School Hair Care Tip #1: Trim for Triumph
A fresh trim not only signifies a clean slate but also plays a pivotal role in maintaining vibrant and healthy hair. By eliminating split ends that can lead to further damage, you’re setting the stage for optimal growth and manageability.
“Regular hair trims are the foundation of a healthy hair care routine. Just as a garden requires tending for lush growth, trimming your hair every few months is essential for maintaining its vitality. Split ends not only make your hair appear dull and lifeless, but they can also travel up the hair shaft, causing further breakage and damage. Regular trims eliminate split ends, nurturing an environment where your hair thrives. This promotes healthy growth from the roots, prevents excessive fraying, and ensures that your hair remains strong, shiny, and resilient,” explains Pineda: “After all the days in the sun and water, there’s a good chance your hair has received a lot of damage and breakage. A good trim will help bring life and volume back into your hair as well as get rid of the damaged parts from your summer adventures.”
Back-to-School Hair Care Tip #2: Hydration is Key
In the realm of hair care, hydration stands as a fundamental principle for maintaining hair health and radiance. Opting for moisturising products, such as the Mayraki Ultra-repairing & Weightless Moisture Shampoo and its complementary conditioner, provides an effective way to infuse the hair with the moisture it craves. This dynamic duo not only cleanses and nourishes but also fortifies each strand with essential hydration to combat frizz and breakage. To take hydration to the next level, consider integrating the Mayraki Ultimate Botanical Moisturizing Hair Oil into your routine. With its nutrient-rich formulation, this hair oil offers an intensive dose of moisture, leaving the hair visibly smoother, shinier, and more robust.
Pineda continues, “Just as our bodies require water to flourish, our hair needs adequate moisture to maintain its strength and beauty. Dehydrated hair is more prone to frizz, breakage, and a lacklustre appearance. Hydrated hair, on the other hand, boasts a smoother texture, improved elasticity, and an irresistible natural shine. Extra hydration is essential especially as the weather gets colder. The colder it is, the less moisture there is in the air and the drier your hair will be. Combat this by supplementing your hair and scalp with moisturizing and hydrating products. Hydrated hair isn’t just beautiful; it signifies hair that’s well-cared-for and resilient, ready to face whatever the day brings.“
Back-to-School Hair Care Tip #3: Smart Styling
Smart styling not only saves valuable time in the morning but also ensures that your hair stays impeccable throughout your busy day. Whether it’s the classic sophistication of a neatly coiled bun, the youthful charm of a ponytail, or the intricate beauty of braids, these styles can weather the rigours of study sessions, a demanding workday, sports activities, and social interactions. Furthermore, these hairstyles offer versatility – from polished and professional to relaxed and carefree – adapting as the day progresses.
“Transitioning from the warmth of summer to the chilly embrace of autumn requires us to adapt our hair care routines. Smart hair styling goes beyond aesthetics; it’s a means of safeguarding hair from the brisk temperatures that autumn brings. Opting for protective styles like braids, buns, and ponytails not only complements your fashion sense but also shields your hair from the harsh elements. These styles keep your hair close to your scalp, reducing exposure to cold winds that can lead to dryness and breakage. Moreover, the strategic placement of these styles provides an added layer of insulation, preserving your hair’s natural moisture and vitality,” concludes Pineda.
The first step towards a fresh start this autumn can be an uplifting cut but a seasonal haircare routine change can do magic. With expert tips, you can get ready for back-to-school time with new hair that will look healthier for longer.
