护发上油

字幕原文

After washing my hair, 洗完头之后，

I like to give it a little extra care. 我喜欢多花点心思打理一下。

I towel it until it's damp, not dripping, 先用毛巾擦到半干、不滴水的状态，

then warm a few drops of hair oil between my palms. 然后在手心滴几滴护发油搓热。

I work the oil through the mid-lengths and ends, 顺着头发中段一直抹到发尾，

where my hair gets driest, 毕竟这些地方最容易干枯，

avoiding the roots so it doesn't go greasy. 避开发根，免得头发显得油腻。

Then I take a wide-tooth comb and gently work out the knots, 接着拿把宽齿梳，轻轻地把打结的地方梳开，

starting from the bottom and moving up. 从发尾一点点往上梳。

A little goes a long way — 发油其实一点点就够——

too much and it looks oily, too little and the frizz wins. 抹多了显油，抹少了又压不住毛躁。

I twist it up loosely and let it air-dry, 然后松松地挽一下，让它自然风干，

resisting the urge to reach for the hot tools. 忍住不去拿吹风机或卷发棒来折腾。

Looking after your hair is a slow, 养头发是个细水长流的慢功夫，

patient thing; you don't see the payoff overnight. 得有耐心，不可能一夜之间就见效。

But soft, healthy hair is worth the small daily effort. 但为了有一头柔顺健康的头发，每天花这点小心思完全值得。

Comb down, hands wiped, I let it be. 梳子放下，手一擦，剩下的就随它去啦。
