MY SECRET GLASS hair LAYERING ROUTINE


Welcome back to My Beauty Corner. Are you ready to get shiny hair?



Today, I'm diving into the magical world of hair layering, a technique that i created for myself to transform my damaged ends, giving them that extra glow and moisture they deserve.


Now, before I jump into the product lists and application steps, let's talk a bit about the science behind it.


Understanding this will empower you to recreate the process with whatever products you have at home.


So, here's the deal: our hair isn't alive like our skin. It's more like our nails – composed of hardened cells. But fear not! While you can't exactly "moisturize" your hair like your skin, you can definitely enhance its shine and smoothness.



Your hair has layers – the medulla, cortex, and cuticle. When you shampoo, the cuticles open up, and when you condition, they close back up, protecting the inner layers. But, if your hair is wavy or bleached, there might be gaps and holes that need filling to achieve that mirror-like shine. (Watch a YouTube video at the end for a detailed explanation).


And that is exactly why I use layers! It's not just about slathering on conditioner; it's about filling those gaps and smoothing out the cuticles to let the light reflect and your hair shine.


Prep Phase: Before hitting the shower, always give your hair a good brush to prevent those pesky tangles.




Layer 1: Oil: Apply a nourishing oil to your ends before shampooing. This creates a protective barrier, preventing your shampoo from drying out your delicate ends.





Layer 2: Hair Mask: In the shower, focus the mask on your ends. Massage it in gently, ensuring every strand gets some love. After a couple of hours (or as directed), rinse it out for silky-smooth locks.





Layer 3: Conditioner: A tiny bit of conditioner on the ends adds an extra boost of moisture. Think of it as the cherry on top of your haircare sundae.




Layer 4: Cream: Smooth a small amount of cream through your lengths, paying extra attention to those dry ends. This step helps seal in all the moisture and gives your hair that enviable thickness.





Layer 5: Serum: Ah, the secret weapon for ultimate glow! A few drops of serum and your hair will be shining brighter than the sun. Seriously, it's a game-changer.





Nighttime Ritual: To keep that shine lasting all week, repeat the cream and serum step before bed.





And there you have it – my hair layering routine. I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences, so drop a comment below.


Remember, your hair deserves all the love and care in the world. Love yourself!
