Hello, this is receptionist Clara from Hair Salon Tokyo MICHAELA, so yesterday I mentioned the basics of using a hair curling iron, so today I would like to share some hair care tips.

When it comes down to haircare, the applicable products might just be the first thing that comes to mind. Shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, serum oil, you name it. These are all products that we see so often in the haircare section of the drugstore or the salon we frequent.

Then again, we must not forget about the tools, hair brushes, combs, towels, dryers, etc.
These tools play an important part of our personal hair care routine too.

Our hair is said to be treated gently like that of a skin, especially when it comes to towel drying.
Did you know that when the hair is wet, the cuticles around the hair follicle gets raised and in this state it is more susceptible to damage. And according to Aquis, "When hair absorbs water it causes swelling and stretching, weakening the hair up to 57%."

Therefore towel drying the hair with a regular cotton towel such as bath towels and specifically rubbing the towel back and forth on the hair can create an enormous friction that not only damages the cuticles on the hair but allows the hair to tangled easily.
Damaged cuticles can greatly reduce the shine on the hair, making it look dry and frizzy. For damaged hair, it may even cause breakage.

Bath towels may be convenient to use and are widely available for use in travel accommodations but they are not good for the hair so I strongly recommend using a separate towel for the hair.

These types of towels can be easily found online, but I would like to recommend a highly raved brand, Aquis. They carry a range of towels specially made for both fine and thick hair types.

The technique of towel drying is to allow the excess water to be absorbed into the towel under gentle pressure, and not give your hair a hair scrub.

After which a detangling comb will come in handy in removing any tangles before proceeding on to blow dry with a dryer. Do apply some hair oil beforehand.

It's never too late to get started on a good hair care routine for a healthy and shiny looking hair that you can have.

Thank you for reading. Till next time!
