Just about everyone desires attractive hair, but getting it is sometimes difficult. It is hard to know which ones are right since there are so many hairdressing myths out there. This article is a great source of proven information on proper haircare.
For healthy hair, do not brush your hair while it’s wet. Wet hair is not as strong as dry hair, so it’s easier to break off. To minimize damage, either brush your hair before you shower, or wait until after it has had time to dry before combing it out.
Avoid heavy conditioners if you have thin or fine hair. These can weigh down your hair and make it look finer and thinner. To add volume without a greasy look, use mousse conditioners or leave-in conditioners.
Nevermind the old wives’ tale about more frequent trims causing your hair to grow faster. Human hair grows at a constant rate, about 1/2 inch each month, no matter how much you cut it. It is possible that you will notice more rapid growth during the summer months, or if you regularly take biotin, but faster growth is attributable to hormonal changes, not haircuts. Your hair may look better though by getting a trim to get rid of split ends.
Your hair must stay moist otherwise breakage occurs when your hair becomes brittle and dry. The temperature at which you shampoo is a big factor. Rinse with cold water after shampooing your hair. This stops the heat from stripping your hair of it’s natural moisture and promotes a lustrous sheen.
If you like the way your hair looks after swimming in the ocean, there are products that mimic the salty ocean effects. Keep an eye out for bottles called “salt spray”, or something like that. If you would rather make your own, create a solution of 1 cup water to 1 teaspoon salt. Then, add a few drops of oil of lavender to complete your mixture.
Blow Dryer
Keep your blow dryer use to a minimum. A blow dryer’s hot air can be very damaging, so air dry whenever you are able to. If you have to make use of a blow dryer, make sure you keep it on a cool setting. In addition, never hold the dryer on the same spot very long. If you towel dry your hair before you blow dry it, the hair will dry more quickly.
When drying your hair with a blow dryer, continuously wave the blow dryer back and forth so the hot air it produces doesn’t blow on one section of your hair too long. This decreases the likelihood of getting any heat damage to your hair.
As stated earlier, most people want healthy hair, but not everyone understands how best to achieve that goal. Although it’s hard, you can still do it with the tips from this article. Do not wait another second!
