2. Focus On Your Roots When Shampooing
This is a bit of a tricky one Glossies. You need to shampoo your hair every other day (if not every day) to reduce the effects of pollution, but washing your locks every day can dry them out. So what’s a girl to do?
The first step you can take to avoid dryness is to change the way you’re washing your hair. When lathering your shampoo, focus on your roots, then let the shampoo run through the rest of your hair as you rinse. This technique cleans the ends (i.e. the driest section of your hair) much more gently.
Use a moisturising shampoo to stop pollution from drying out your hair!
You could also try switching to a sulfate-free shampoo. I’d recommend the Only Curls All Curl Cleanser. Blending avocado with kukoi oil, it cleanses your hair without stripping it of its natural oils, leaving it more moisturised and smelling incredible. After just one use, my hair looked nourished, shiny and a lot less frizzy!

3. Use Conditioner After Every Wash
When you’re in a rush, it can be quite tempting to skip your conditioning treatment, but this is one of the most important steps to pollution-proof your hair. You should use a protein-rich moisturiser after shampooing, as well as a deeply hydrating hair mask once a week.
Conditioner is a must is you want soft, shiny and hydrated locks!
If you have curly hair and are looking for a new conditioner, the Only Curls All Curl Conditioner is a great choice. Infused with jojoba, coconut, avocado, kukui, argan and macadamia oils, it deeply moisturises your hair, leaving it soft, hydrated and bouncy! Honestly, my ringlets have never looked better.

4. Don’t Forget A Heat Protection Spray
With pollution already damaging your hair, you should try and avoid using too much heat on your locks, as this will weaken your hair even more. You can either embrace the natural look, or be sure to always use a heat protection spray before blow drying, straightening or curling your locks.
Pollution is damaging enough. Try to avoid using too much heat and weakening your hair even more!
I use the Bumble and bumble. Hairdresser’s invisible Oil Heat/ UV Protective Primer. It creates a protective barrier around each strand of hair, preventing breakage and dehydration. My hair always feels so soft afterwards!
