Prepare to be everyone’s hair crush! These tips make your strands sooo silky.

Silks strands are just so damn satisfying. That’s why we asked hair car experts about their tips and tricks to make your locks silky AF. Here’s what they had to say…

1. Suck Up Excess Water

The drier your hair, the more nutrients it absorbs. After you shampoo, wrap hair in a towel for two minutes to dry it a bit before you add conditioner.

2. Only Treat Ends

Don’t condition roots- that hair is new and healthy! Apply a palmful of treatment from midshaft down and distribute with a wide-tooth comb to make sure every strand is coated,

3. Trap Heat

Dampen the inside of a terry-lined shower cap, and wear it for 10 minutes while the conditioner is in your hair. The cap will trap in steam that opens up hair follicles, so your hair will really soak in the good stuff in the treatment.

4. Don’t Rinse Too Well

Fight the instict to get squeaky clean! Rinse with cold water until your hair is slightly slippery. The conditioner that’s left on your strands will keep working throughout the day.

5. Pick Your Perf Treatment

Fine and dry hair: Keep your do bouncy! A deep conditioner with vitamin E hydrates without adding the heavy oils that weigh hair down.

Color-treated hair: Your DIY ombre is amaze, but dye dulls shine. Amp up gloss with an oil treatment- it will smooth brittle ends too!

Damaged hair: Your strands need love! Pick a formula with keratin- it adds shine and strengthens hair to prevent future breakage.
