Nogi46's Radiant Hair Tips Heat Up Social Media
Nogi46's member Stunning Hair has become the talk of the town on social media. In a recent interview,
members Mayu Tamura and Saya Kanagawa shared their hair care secrets,
shedding light on their routines and must-have products.
Mayu, who dyes her hair, emphasized the importance of regular treatments,
stating that she visits the salon once a month. She mentioned,
it's crucial to dry your hair immediately after washing it. Wet hair is prone to damage,
so I always make sure to fully blow-dry before going to bed. She has also started
wearing a silk nightcap to prevent friction, which helps keep her hair in great condition.
Saya revealed that she gets treatments every two to three weeks and enjoys doing scalp massages at
home. She uses two types of treatments and applies hair oil before and after blow-drying,
finishing with a blast of cool air. I aim for around 120 degrees when I use my hair straightener
at night to wake up with sleek, smooth hair in the morning, she explained.
When it comes to hair styling, Mayu relies on shine sprays and sets her hair with strong
sprays when she has her hair styled professionally. She prefers a more natural look in her personal
time, while Saya also adds a shine spray and a fragrance spray for a finishing touch.
With tips like these, it's no wonder Nogi46's shiny hair has captured the attention of fans
and beauty enthusiasts alike, sparking trends online.
