We all look better with styled hair that beautifully frames our face, but over-styling and primping can take a toll on your precious locks. It takes a lot of research and knowledge to figure out how to keep hair in great condition while giving it the style you want. The article that follows helps you do what it takes to have healthy hair.
A healthy body is more likely to produce healthy hair. To keep your body and your hair healthy, you need to eat a nutritious diet and drink adequate quantities of water. Eating a balanced diet that includes plenty of whole grains, fruits and vegetables, lean protein and beneficial fats can help your hair stay healthy and strong.
For healthy hair, do not brush your hair while it’s wet. Wet hair is delicate and easily breaks when brushed. To minimize breakage, wait until hair has dried before brushing the hair.
If your hair is dry, try this do-it-yourself conditioning treatment. Wash your hair and wring out most of the water. Then apply conditioner liberally, put on a cap and let it sit for 10 minutes. When you generate heat the conditioner will soak into your hair follicles.
If you value your hair, don’t use a blow dryer. Using heat to style the hair can cause damage and frizziness. As an alternative, use a towel wrapped around your hair to remove extra moisture. This way, your hair will air-dry naturally, minimizing frizz.
If your hair looks dull and lifeless, consider using a clarifying shampoo. Hair that appears really dull can be caused by lots of different hair products that build up gradually. To remove buildup, try using the clarifying types of shampoos about once a week, because they can remove accumulated hairdressing products.
Satin Pillowcase
Protect your curls with a satin pillowcase. Regular cotton pillowcases can cause your hair to dry out by leaching it of oils and moisture. A satin pillowcase lets you wake up with non-frizzy hair that looks almost as good as it did when you got in bed. A satin headscarf is also an option if for some reason the pillowcase won’t work out.
You can encourage your hair to grow by brushing and combing it, because the process helps loosen and remove dead skin from the scalp. It will stop the pores in your head from getting clogged so your hair will grow better. A good way to ensure that your hair has optimal hair growth is to run your brush through it 100 times each day.
Having great hair can be a challenge. All the products and tools used on hair can be damaging. Hopefully, this article has introduced you to a few new ways to achieve a balance between great control, style and condition!
