Everyone wants the perfect hair, but the ways we go about achieving that can have the opposite effect. Finding the balance between keeping your hair in great condition and styling it nicely takes a lot of thought and skill. The article below will teach you how to improve the health of your hair.
To restore your hair’s condition and give it more strength, reduce the amount of time that small appliances are used in styling your hair. By using devices like curling irons and blow dryers, your hair can be greatly affected, causing irreparable damage and frizz. Every once in a while, give your hair a break and lay off the heat!
Many styling products allow you to replicate the look of a day spent splashing in the ocean. Keep an eye out for bottles called “salt spray”, or something like that. You can even mix up your own batch by dissolving a teaspoon of salt into a cup of water. Finish by adding 10 drops of lavender essential oil and enjoy your ocean-inspired concoction.
Never pull at your hair or rub it with a towel when you’re drying it. This can stretch your hair, which can cause breakage. Additionally, it can cause frizzy hair, which is unsightly. Rather what you should do is blot, pat or carefully squeeze out the extra moisture in your hair, then loosely wrap it in a towel. Also, you should not use a brush or comb on wet hair, unless the comb is wide-toothed.
Rather than using conditioner and rinsing it out quickly, take some time to use it in a way that conditions your hair even further. Just wet your hair a bit and apply lots of your conditioner. You should use a damp and warm towel to wrap your hair, or you can even use plastic wrap because it traps the heat as well. When a half hour has elapsed, hop in the shower and shampoo your hair to get all of the conditioner out.
When you use a blow dryer on your hair, move it around to avoid heating one section of hair for too long. This will eliminate the chance that your hair will be damaged from heat.
Make sure that the conditioner you use on your hair is evenly spread out on your hair. Make sure that you don’t rinse out the conditioner before it has a chance to work; leave it in for several minutes at least.
When brushing, instead of starting at the top near your scalp, brush from the bottom up. Work out the knots as slowly as you can to keep breakage from happening. As the knots work out, you can start doing slow strokes from the roots to the tips.
Always shampoo your hair with care, or you may just wash out your hair’s natural oils. Even if your hair is oily, harsh shampoos can create rebound oil in hair. It can also damage your hair tremendously, so be sure that you’re using gentle products. Some people even wash their hair with only conditioner once or twice each week.
Achieving awesome hair can be a challenge. Many people use two or three different tools and products to take care of their hair, and that can take its toll after a while. This article will have hopefully shown you some new ways to get a better balance in between control and style.
