But I promise that these tips and tricks are pretty much effortless and will totally up your hair game.
1. You probably only need to use conditioner on the bottom three-quarters of your hair.

If you’re like me, you’ve been combing the tangles out of your hair with whatever brush you have a home for years. Try using a wide-tooth comb instead because it will cause way less damage.
4. Find the perfect dry shampoo.
Dry shampoo is an amazing way to save time, but only if it’s the right kind for your hair. Nothing looks worse then having visible white powder in your hair, so make sure to buy one that matches your hair color.
5. If you have naturally curly hair, you might want to try cutting out shampoo.
Seriously! Most shampoos contain sulfates that are stripping your hair of its natural oils. Try swapping out your shampoo for apple cider vinegar.
