How to Avoid Washing Your Hair in 5 Days
We’ve all been there: sometimes the luxury of washing our hair doesn’t quite fit in with our plans. When someone else washes our hair for us, it would be nice if we had a full glam team like these celebrities! Maybe you’ve even wondered how often you should wash your hair?
You might be surprised to know that some A-listers go up to a week without washing their hair! Yes, trust me, it’s real! Do you want to know how this mantra works? Then check out our tips on how to avoid washing your long hair in 5 days!
Wash your hair at night
The first secret to not washing your hair in 5 days is to use Procoal shampoo bars. They are available in 4 different scents: Rose, Lavender, Seaweed and Charcoal. These bars are natural and have no added chemicals or silicones that can coat your hair strands, weighing them down and causing them to need washing sooner than they actually need to. It’s worth noting that washing your hair too often can be detrimental to the overall health of your hair, especially for hair that’s more prone to oiliness. Since the bars are silicone-free, you can wait longer between washes, so your hair will stay fresher for longer!
Style One
If your hair is freshly washed, straight hair is the best hairstyle for medium to long hair. Using a hair straightener, divide your hair into different sections depending on the thickness of your hair. Lift the top layer of hair upwards, then start with the bottom layer and work your way up. Straightening your hair this way is a tedious task, but if every strand is straight, this hairstyle will last longer and you might be able to make it to the next day without tangles.
Style Two
You might actually be lucky enough to keep your hairstyle for the last two days, but if not, then it’s time to get out the curling iron! By changing your hair from straight to curly, you can give it movement and mask the look of day-old hair, which sometimes looks a little unkempt and needs to be washed ASAP! You can curl it however you want, from tight waves to relaxed beach waves, anything that adds volume and movement is perfect for style two!
Style Three
Today it’s the turn of everyone’s favorite messy updo. As tempting as it is to put your hair up, to end this 5-day cycle, you need to take a little time to create the perfect messy updo. You can go for a classic updo as you like, or tie your hair up in a low bun and style some curls to frame your face nicely, imagine Meghan Markle’s bridal hairstyle. The idea is to leave the remaining curls so you can tuck them into a simple, chic bun. This look will take some time to perfect, but try not to over-process or comb your hair, as this can lead to greasiness. Use a wide-tooth comb to remove any tangles from your hair, then use hairpins and hair ties to create this look, perfect for hair that looks a little greasy.
Style Four
For this style, it’s time to use your straightener again. Focus on the top layer and the front of your hair, smoothing out the curls from the previous hairstyle. Next, part your hair down the middle and tie it into a low, sleek bun. This hairstyle is perfect for hiding hair that doesn’t look so fresh anymore. Don’t forget to spray it with hairspray to set the look!
Style Five
If you’ve achieved this style, congratulations. Your hair has gotten the break it deserves from frequent washing and exposure to too many products. It’s up to you to decide how to create the final look. Either go for a sleek bun again, or this time secure it all the way up into a sleek bun or high ponytail, Ariana Grande style! Use a small comb to comb through messy hair into a super sleek, stylish look. Hairspray helps a lot with this, avoid using too much or it might look a little too wet.
So these are some of the tricks we’ve found that even the Hollywood superstars themselves love to use! Your hair will get a break, and you won’t have to worry about what to do with it when you get ready in the morning! Try it for yourself, even if you only do it one week a month, you’ll see a change in your hair for the better! Hey, if it’s good enough for J-Lo, it’s good enough for us!
