Long shiny black hair always looks good. But it can be tad boring. Give a new twist to your long mane by playing up its natural texture. To get this season’s look, avoid washing your hair every day. It can be too drying. Use a moisturising shampoo every other day. You should allow your scalps natural oil to reach the ends. This makes hair look healthy naturally.

Instead of smooth shiny strands got through excessive conditioning and blow-drying, let your hair air dry. It will feel silky, yet have its natural waves or curls. To let your texture show through, skimp on conditioner. Most conditioners are heavy and can weigh down hair making it look flat. Put little conditioners at the end to avoid hair looking stringy.

If your hair looks limp use a thickening cream on the length of your hair. Twist lock of hair and finger comb to get a slightly messy look. In fact the whole effect should be slightly matte. For volume at the roots, spritz a volumising hair spray at the roots and finger style your hair.
