Swish! 6 simple things women with enviable hair do on the regular

Some people are blessed with enviable hair, and while good genes definitely play a role, it's important to remember that the women whose tresses you want to reach out and touch on your morning commute likely invest time and effort into caring for their locks.

And loathe and all as we are to admit it, the friends, colleagues and family members who boast stunning styles act as constant reminders of the importance of hair care at its most primary level.

From choosing a shampoo that properly reflects your hair type (and not because it’s on special offer) to investing in tools which will protect your hair (as opposed to damaging it), this is all about making the best of your barnet.

And here are just six things those women do on the regular.

Remain loyal

Most of us have been guilty of choosing products based on their price tag rather than their USPs which means we often chop and change when it comes to the products we apply to our hair.

Experts recommend you do your research, find a shampoo and conditioner that works for you, and then stick with it.

Simply put, the moment you land on a combination that works for you, guard it with your life.

Blot hair when wet

Our hair is at its most vulnerable when it's wet, so you'd never find a woman with enviable tresses pulling on wet hair with a rough towel and bristle brush moments after hopping out of the shower.

Gently blotting your hair with a soft towel is the way to go if you want to protect against damage while using a wide-tooth comb for de-tangling is paramount.

Oh, and this woman knows better than to force her hair under piping hot water, and instead opts for warm water while lathering and a cool spray for rinsing out conditioner.

Apply treatments

If you only apply a hair mask once a year and find yourself wondering why your hair isn't in the same condition as other people's, you might just have your answer.

Taking time to apply treatments to their hair is as an essential a haircare step for hair-savvy women as regular brushing.

Get regular trims

Not only do they schedule regular trims, but they take their stylist's advice on board every time they attend an appointment.

And just like product use, it's important to stay loyal to a stylist as long as you're happy with the service they provide.

By sticking with a stylist, you can be assured that they will be able to spot a potential problem before it becomes an issue as they'll know your hair almost as well as you do.

Invest in tools

When it comes to the haircare tools, there is a distinct hierarchy, and you can be certain that women with amazing hair know this all too well.

Take the Dyson Supersonic, for example. Entering the world of haircare with a groundbreaking new addition, Dyson's technology allows for faster, more precise drying, while producing minimum noise due to acoustic silencers.

By measuring the air temperature 20 times every second, it controls heat distribution to reduce damage and protect your hair, with company founder, James Dyson, saying: "Hair dryers can be heavy, inefficient and make a racket. By looking at them further we realised that they can also cause extreme heat damage to hair."

Give it a break

And while treatments and tools do work wonders when it comes to proper haircare, it's also important to remember that everyone's hair can do with a break from time to time.

Being able to strike that balance is how you go from mediocre to mesmorising in six easy steps.
