EASY Tips for Smooth & Silky Hair

The most-asked personal beauty question I get is about my hair. And the truth is, my hair in its natural state is anything but pretty. The bottom layer is fine, doesn't hold curl well, and if I get split ends, they appear here. My top layer is naturally wavy, coarse, somewhat thick, but frizzy. The sides of my hair are very frizzy and coarse. So how do I make it all come together?

Today I'm sharing my best tips for how I get smooth and silky hair. I'll be using shampoo, conditioner, round brushes, and a blow dryer with the nozzle attachment. No fancy or extra products hair tools will be needed.

The shampoo and conditioner I'll be using is Smooth & Silky from Head & Shoulders. It takes your hair from frizzy to silky in 1 wash! I am serious! I am really impressed with it. Head & Shoulders has a variety of products, like the yummy-smelling Green Apple, to give you healthy, nourished, and beautiful hair. They've been around 50 years, leading the way in scalp care. And when it comes to beauty-focused hair care, you can’t choose anything that will leave your scalp unhealthy, am I right?

Don’t you love the new design on the limited-edition bottles? You can get these at Target! Target is my go-to beauty destination—who doesn’t love that place? It’s kind of impossible for me to leave there empty-handed, especially when it comes to beauty products.

After I wash and condition with Head & Shoulders Smooth & Silky, I gently squeeze the water out of my hair. This is a must-do first step, since these products really help with the frizz. Normally I would have to use additional products that weigh hair down, but not with Smooth & Silky. Unless I am getting dressed, I prefer to keep a towel around my shoulders and let my hair air dry. But once my hair is about 70% dry, I attach the nozzle on my dryer and start with my sides (or bangs if you have them) using a round brush. 

Above you'll see an animated gif of the basic method of drying hair. I start with a small section of hair, starting at the root, and following it down to the ends with the dryer. I repeat this until dry.

So this where the tips come in! I also go underneath the section, like pictured above for volume, focusing at the roots. I go back over the section by drying above the hair to keep it smooth, just like in the animated gif.

This is optional, but sometimes I use a smaller brush for bangs or the areas around the face to give tighter curls. The round brush will give that.

If you are wanting more of a wavy look, I twist the section away from the face and dry.

I also will twirl it after drying to help it hold the waves.

And that's it! I hope you enjoyed my tips on how to get smooth & silky hair using Head & Shoulders. If you're interested in purchasing your own, I've got an offer for you! Buy 3 Head & Shoulders products and get a $5 Target gift card! This offer is good through 5/16.
