If you are a ponytail addict, put the ponytail in a different place on your head each time you wear it. You can use fabric scrunchies to minimize stress caused to the hair in that area; however, you can still experience breakage. If work requires you to tie your hairstyle back, make sure you let it down when you aren’t working.
Avoid heavy conditioners if you have thin or fine hair. This only weighs your hair down giving it a thinner appearance. For those with thinner hair, light hairdressing products leave your hair looking healthy and thick.
When you dry your hair, a blow dryer should be avoided. Your hair might look frizzy if you are using heat to style it. Instead, when your hair is wet keep it in a towel until it dries out. This makes it easier for your locks to dry gently, avoiding frizz and damage.
One way to protect your hair from sun damage is to use hairdressing products that include sunscreen. The sun’s harmful rays can damage your hair and render pointless all of the time you’ve spent caring for it. Protecting your hair helps it stay lively for longer in your life.
Some people enjoy what salt water does for their hair, and if you are one of them then you will surely enjoy the products that copy the impact of salt water on your hair. Look for sprays that are labeled as “salt spray”. Try putting together a teaspoon of salt and one cup of water for your own mixture. Next, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil, (lavender works well), and the result will be a bottle full of seaside bliss.
Be sure to always be gentle with your hair when you use a towel to dry it. This can break the hair, resulting in frizzy and frayed hair. Patting or blotting your hair will allow you to dry your hair without damage. It’s also best not to brush or comb your hair while it’s still wet, unless the comb you use is wide-toothed.
For healthy, shiny hair, start with a healthy and nutritious diet. Our hair is alive, and in order for it to grow healthy, it needs the right nutrients. A deficiency in any combination of nutrients can lead to weak, brittle and unattractive hair. A serious nutritional deficiency can cause hair loss, as well. To keep your hair as healthy as possible, eat the right kinds of food.
Now you know how to take care of your hair, and knowing is half the battle. Simply changing a few things can cause your hair to be envied by your family and friends. The more effort you’re willing to give, the better your hair will look.
