The Simple Steps For A Good Hair Day, Every Single Day

Because when our hair looks good, we feel good too.
  • 14 Mar 2022

It’s no secret that when our hair looks good, we feel good too. In fact, 79 per cent of you feel more confident when your hair looks its best.

A good haircut—or hair style— makes us feel like we can take on the world. 

Take our quiz now to find the perfect products to help you reach your #hairgoals and love the hair you're in even more.

Our hair can speak volumes about our personality, so it’s important to give our manes a little extra TLC to keep the hair we’re blessed with looking its best.

With these simple tips and tools, every single day can become the best hair day you’ve ever had.

Treat Yourself (And Your Hair)

Just like we treat our skin to the occasional facial, or help our nails stay healthy with a regular manicure, it’s important to give our hair its own moment of love every now and then. 

Think of it is as a spa day for your scalp and strands—using a treatment specific to your hair concerns and needs can help revive and refresh your tresses.  

For those with thirsty hair, try an intense moisturising treatment to add softness, strength and shine—these can be applied to dry hair and left on for up to an hour for a deep conditioning mask. 

Or try a massage-in-a-jar scalp scrub to boost circulation and stimulate hair growth, and remove product build up, dirt and excess oil for hair that’s the cleanest it’s ever been. 

Embrace What Your Hair Needs

OGX 5 in 1 Benefits Frizz Free + Keratin Smoothing Oil Shampoo and Conditioner

OGX 5 in 1 Benefits Frizz Free + Keratin Smoothing Oil Shampoo and Conditioner, $22.00.

When it comes to shampoo and conditioner, one size does not fit all. Hit the hair jackpot by finding and using products that are specifically targeted to your hair type, and that utilise ingredients that help address different hair concerns for your best hair yet.

It’s all about using what your hair wants (and needs) to keep it feeling fabulous. Like keratin, a protein already found in hair, skin and nails that can help keep hair cuticles smooth. OGX Keratin Smoothing Oil Shampoo and Conditioner is the ultimate multitasker—it tames frizz while simultaneously strengthening hair, improving its flexibility, protecting against humidity and adding shine. 

Argan oil is another ingredient our hair (particularly hair that’s a little on the dry side) loves—it is known to be rich in antioxidants and Vitamin E for extra shine and vibrancy. OGX’s Argan Oil of Morocco Shampoo and Conditioner not only leaves hair silky and shiny but has the added bonus of leaving your hair smelling divine all day.

Perfect Protection

We love a good blow dry or hair curler as much as the next person, but heat styling is one of the worst offenders when it comes to damaging our hair. 

The good news is it’s easy to prevent the dullness and dehydration heat styling causes, by using a heat protectant product. You wouldn’t step out into the sun without applying sunscreen, so don’t use a hot tool without this protective step. 

Whether it’s a leave-in treatment applied to wet hair, or a spray spritzed before styling, the products form a barrier between our hair and the heat, keeping it looking shiny and healthy.

Mane Maintenance

We know the importance of keeping up regular appointments at the salon to prevent split ends, but there are other steps we can take between appointments to keep hair looking (and feeling) beautiful. 

Using a silk pillowcase can help you wake up with near-perfect hair. The fabric doesn’t steal moisture from our locks as we sleep, so hair is still hydrated by the time our alarm starts to buzz. A silk pillowcase also reduces friction, minimising knots and snarls so our hair stays sleek and frizz-free. 

Our diet can also play a huge part in optimising our hair health. Foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and protein can help stimulate hair follicles for growth, and staying hydrated throughout the day is a surefire shortcut to well-nourished, beautiful and strong hair.

Find your OGXcellence and embrace the hair you’ve been blessed with, to unlock your hair goals.
