Combing your hair is absolutely essential to keeping it feeling silky and clean. Tangled bedhead will always be difficult to manage and will serve to damage your hair and keep it feeling coarse and rough. Use a fine-tooth plastic comb and run it through your hair a few times each morning to work out the tangles and leave your hair healthy and silky. If your hair is especially tangled, use a small dab of oil on the comb to help work it through and treat your hair. You can also use a little bit of water. Depending on the thickness of you hair, it may be more appropriate to brush it, especially with coarse hair. . If you have coarse or curly hair, a flat iron can help you achieve a silky texture. However, keep in mind that flat ironing and other heat-based treatments can damage your hair, so use a few protective measures: Flat iron your hair while it is completely dry. Wet hair is much more susceptible to heat damage than dry hair. Use a heat protecting spray, cream, or serum on your hair before straightening. Avoid going over the same section of your hair more than once. . Blow-drying your hair can also help keep your hair silky. You can take a few precautions to prevent your hair from getting dried out or heat damaged from excessive blow-drying: Towel dry your hair before blow-drying it. This can cut down on drying time and reduce the risk of heat damage. Comb a protective serum through your hair before blow-drying. If you're trying to achieve a smooth and silky effect, use a boar bristle brush to gently pull your hair taut during blow drying. Dry from the roots of your hair down to the ends.

nds. You only need about a handful of grounds, so this should give you enough to work with. Feel free to add more or less, depending on what you think you'll need. Coffee grounds will darken your hair, so if you have light-colored hair, you may want to find another method to make your hair glow. You don't want the coffee grounds to go down the drain--they can mess with your plumbing and should be disposed of in the trash rather than down the drain. A filter will catch the grounds before they get into your pipes, and when you are finished with your treatment you can toss them in the trash. Work the grounds into your hair, rubbing it into your scalp and scrunching it into your longer locks. The rough grounds will exfoliate your scalp, which stimulates your hair follicles and can kick-start hair growth. If you want to make the coffee scrub part of your regular grooming routine, dry out the grounds and then add them to your shampoo, conditioner, or hair oil. The coffee grounds should have removed any buildup from your hair, leaving it soft, shiny, and healthy. Dispose of the coffee grounds you caught in the drain by throwing the filter into the garbage or compost. With regular use, you may notice your hair is growing faster, too. The caffeine in coffee blocks a hormone that causes hair loss and allows your hair to remain in its growth cycle longer than normal. Try using coffee grounds once or twice a week. Dry your hair with an old towel, and remember if your wet hair drips on your clothes the coffee may ruin them. Wear a towel around your shoulders or an old T-shirt until your hair is dry.

Summary: a pot of coffee using about 8 tablespoons (or 30-35 g) of coffee grounds. Place a coffee filter or cheesecloth over your drain. Massage a handful of cooled coffee grounds into wet hair. Rinse your hair, making sure you wash out all the coffee grounds.
