Everyone loves shiny, healthy hair but do you know the steps to get there… It all starts at the root.  It’s time for a Root Check-Up. Take a look at these 5 quick tips for making sure that your hair is bouncing and beautiful!

 1. Protect Your Roots: The best way to ensure shiny, healthy hair is to protect it. Stress doesn’t just happen to you, it happens to your hair too. Between the brushing, pulling, heat, and constant styling, there’s a lot happening to your hair. Consider only applying heat to your hair when necessary. Styling tools like a flat iron, curling iron, or even direct heat from a blow dryer can have damaging effects so, when you must use these tools, consider using a heat protectant to shield your hair. Our Rucker Roots Leave-In Heat Protectant can be applied to damp or dry hair. 

 2. Clean Your Roots: Whether your hair needs to be cleansed every day or once per week, making sure that your hair is clear of build up is essential for growth. The truth is, everyone’s schedule is different, so it is important that you do what makes you feel the most comfortable. When you do decide to wash your hair, add extra shine by rinsing with cold water. Cold water helps to seal your hair shaft by locking in moisture and contributing to the shine of your hair. 

 3. Condition your Roots: Whether you make your own conditioner, or you use our Rucker Roots Detangling Conditioner infused with minerals and vitamins, you must condition your hair. The right conditioner will replenish your hair with nutrients that may have been stripped while shampooing. Choosing the best conditioner depends on your hair type, but don’t skip this step. Conditioning is the absolute key to healthy hair care.

 4. Detoxify your Roots: If you traditionally use products that are filled with fillers and chemicals, completing a hair detox may help reinvigorate your roots and stimulate the hair growth you’ve been looking for.  The signs that you need a hair detox include itchy scalp, dry hair or even hair loss. Consider a hair detox and use products like our Scalp and Skin Antiseptic Pre-Shampoo to reset your scalp.  Follow it up with a natural shampoo and conditioner and watch your hair growth increase in weeks. 

  5. Nourish your Roots: Every product you put in your hair should be adding something to your strands. In the same way that you nourish your skin, your hair needs products that provide nourishment as a part of your regular routine. When choosing your hair care products, make sure they are rich in vitamins and minerals, not sulfates and parabens. This will help your hair flourish overtime.
