Carol Ofori shares her quickest hair hack and KZN pitches in too
We look at the best hair care hacks, with tips for those of us in a hurry...
We love learning about different hacks, especially hair hacks. When it comes to 'hair', there is always more to learn and as we all have different hair types, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
Carol Ofori loves all things beauty, with hair and skin care being at the top of her list. She is no stranger to amazing looking hair and her skin is always, like always, glowing (of course, that could just be happiness).

On that note, Carol Ofori shared one of her most used and trusted #hairhacks with us. Co-washing is her best hair hack. Basically, co-washing entails "washing your hair with conditioner - and only conditioner. It's also known as conditioner-only washing and no poo (as in no shampoo). If you have coily, mixed-textured, curly, or extremely dry hair, there’s a chance that your hair care routine could benefit from it," Healthline explains.
Shampoo wash, then next wash should be a conditioner wash, then the follow with a shampoo wash in your next wash. Co-washing is perfect for Afro hair as it replaces moisture in hair and does not strip it of all natural oils.

We asked ECR listeners to share their top #hairhacks with us and they really came to the hair-ty (hair party) with their super informative, super easy hacks.
Shabana Raghubar shared a great tip with us on how to thicken your hair. So for those of you who are struggling with hair falling out and thin hair, this one is for you!
Castor oil for hair thickening and falling. Coconut oil for good healthy shiny hair. Oilve oil for nourishment and vitamins.. Mix all for good hair care routine and wash with a good shampoo and conditioner that doesn't have too much chemicals. Best shampoo is one with keratin and strength.
Always shampoo twice and then towel dry, apply conditioner, comb through, and then rinse thoroughly for a deep clean. *Once in a while it’s good to rinse your hair with vinegar to get rid of build up *Beaten raw eggs makes a great hair mask. Avocado works just as well
Nu-Hair Placenta Serum with drying and straightening after every wash and I can go 4-5 days without washing my hair. Dry Shampoo in an emergency on day 3-4. Winning combination 🥇
Thank you to all our ECR Facebook family for sharing such wonderful hair hacks with us. We couldn't fit them all into one article, so be sure to watch out for more in the coming weeks of July.
