This blogger’s 3 hacks for extending time between hair washes are so simple but we’re listening

If there was one thing you could remove from your morning routine (or evening, whichever way you do it) what would it be? The tedious faff of washing, conditioning then combing and finally blow-drying your hair? Us too.

While we could stop washing our hair entirely and let mother nature do her work, there is another way to make the hair washing routine more manageable and US blogger Jess Keys of The Golden Girl has the answers.

She recently shared her hair washing wisdom with The Everygirl and we cant actually believe we didnt think of these hacks for extending time between out hair washes before. Here are Jesss top three tricks to make your clean hair last longer…

Blow-dry just the roots

This trick apparently makes all the difference to the longevity of your blowdry. According to Keys, "When you wash your hair, let your hair air dry as much as possible, but, if you hit the roots (just the roots, because, you know, hair dryer = damage) with the blow-drier for a hot second and get your roots dry (were talking, like, just the top half-inch to inch of your hair) then it REALLY helps to combat grease. This really makes an incredible difference in setting your hair up to be less greasy.”

Always wear a shower cap if youre not washing your hair in the shower or bath

If youve always skipped or ignored a shower cap, you might want to rethink. Keys says, “I dont know why I just dismissed the idea of using a shower cap for the first 29-odd years of life. This really helps combat frizz, because even if my hair doesnt get wet in the shower, it does get crazy from the steam."
