How to Make Your Hair Soft and Smooth

It feels good when hair feels soft and smooth, but not everyone is blessed with tresses that are this way naturally. It might take extra steps to make hair soft and smooth or, if you do happen to have hair that is like this, you may be curious about how to keep it soft and smooth longer.

Take a look at these tips for how to get hair soft and smooth, plus hair care products that can help from Hair Food!

Wash with Purpose.

Now that you’re aiming for softer, smoother hair, it’s time to re-evaluate your wash routine. Some things to keep in mind if you want your hair to be softer include:

Using shampoo only on your scalp – While it may be tempting to wash all of your hair with shampoo, it’s not made for that. Focus your attention on lathering up your scalp for a deep clean, then rinse out shampoo before moving to conditioning. To keep hair smooth, we recommend Avocado & Argan Oil Smoothing Shampoo, which works well on all hair types.

Skipping shampoo in your wash routine – You don’t want to do this for every wash, but this can be a great step toward smoother hair when done on occasion. You can still boost hair's moisture on days you don’t shampoo by using only conditioner in your hair.

Detangle Hair When Wet.

Oftentimes, using a wide tooth comb on wet hair in the shower does the trick to get out snags and knots. If you’re struggling, after adding conditioner, such as the Avocado & Argan Oil Smoothing Conditioner, comb through BEFORE rinsing out product. This can help lubricate hair and make it easier to detangle.

Apply a Hair Mask Once a Week.

If you have dry, damaged or frizzy hair, a hair mask is the ideal solution. Apply a hair mask every week to nourish hair and boost strength. The Avocado & Argan Oil Smoothing Hair Mask works to soften and smooth your tresses with its sulfate-free recipe.

Protect Hair from Heat Tools.

Heat tools, like straighteners, blow dryers and curling irons, can be great for styling, but they also remove moisture from hair and can ultimately leave it dry or frizzy. Using a heat protectant hair product, such as our Coconut & Argan Oil Heat Protectant Blend, keeps hair from getting damaged when heat tools are used. Just spray before you start using your heat tools for great heat protection that helps hair look sleek.
