10 Hacks for the Softest Hair Ever

1. Eat Right

You hear it again and again, and we have to agree: To achieve the best hair, you have to eat the best foods. Make sure you are consuming foods with Omega-3 fatty acids and protein for shiny, full hair. Oh, and don't forget to take your vitamins too. (via Brit + Co)

2. Aloe Vera

This little plant is magic for your hair. Not only does it promote growth, but it also conditions like no other. Aloe also has properties similar to keratin, which helps retain water and moisture. (via Brit + Co)

3. Cold Rinse

To lock that moisture in and close your cuticles, do a cold rinse at the end of your shower. Locked hair follicles = less frizz. (Image via Chandler Cruttenden/Unsplash)

4. Apple Cider Vinegar

Let ACV treat your hair like the princess it is. With one rinse, it will help prevent split ends and breakage, reduce frizz, improve porosity and naturally condition your hair. Seriously, it's like magic. (via Hello Natural)

5. Use a T-shirt Instead

Cotton is the way to go to keep hair soft. After showering, lightly squeeze the excess water out and then tie a t-shirt around your head, letting your hair dry while you complete the rest of your look. It's perfect for the #lazygirl in all of us. (via Refinery29)

6. Air-Dry That Hair

It just makes sense: The less heat you use, the softer your hair will be. There are plenty of ways to achieve a glam look without blowdrying. Start with a great conditioner for a smooth finish. If your locks get easily tangled, use a light conditioning or detangler spray to help with your ends. (image via Element5 Digital/Unsplash)

7. Use Clean Products

If your locks are feeling a little dull, consider swapping your go-to products for some cleaner alternatives. They'll keep your hair looking healthy all summer! (via Brit + Co)

8. Hair Mask

When your hair is screaming for moisture, give it some new life by using a DIY hair mask once a week. Products like almond milk, coconut oil or avocado can soften and strengthen each strand. (via Hello Natural)

9. Focus on the Ends

The ends of your strands are the most drying of your mane. Take control by using a leave-in conditioner. Focus a lot more product at the ends of your hair, but don't forget your roots. Soft, healthy hair originates at your scalp. (via Brit + Co)

10. Get Regular Trims

Trims will save your hair from becoming brittle and ragged. Split ends actually impede hair growth and prevent you hair from retaining the moisture your hair needs. Plus, it doesn't hurt to get a new style every once in a while! (via Brit + Co)
