Avoid damaging your hair by brushing it only when it is dry. Hair is much more likely to break when it is wet than when it is dry. To keep damage low, brush the hair before washing or wait until it dries a bit.
If you like the way your hair looks after swimming in the ocean, there are products that mimic the salty ocean effects. There are salt sprays available on the market. You can even mix up your own batch by dissolving a teaspoon of salt into a cup of water. Mix that with 10-12 drops of oil and you have now mimicked that ocean spray.
Don’t rub your hair with your towel when you are drying it. Not only will this cause damage to your hair at the roots, but it will also stretch the hair and cause it become frizzy and thin. Instead, blot, pat or squeeze any excess moisture out of your hair. You should not brush or comb your hair when it is wet, if you must then use a wide tooth comb.
Harsh weather can damage the hair, so try not to expose your hair to intense heat or extreme cold for prolonged periods. Cold weather dries out hair, reducing the amount of natural oils that keep your hair healthy and lubricated. If you are going to be outside for any amount of time, protect your hair by wearing a hat or a toboggan.
Resist the habit of using only one type or brand of hair products. By switching your brands periodically your hair will become more responsive to the active ingredients in the products. You may find that buildup that has been left behind by one brand can easily be removed by another, and your scalp will benefit from this.
If you swim regularly, be certain to get your hair wet before going in the pool; that will mean that your hair absorbs less of the chlorinated water. Unless you wear a swim cap, you should also take a few minutes to rinse and condition hair soon after you leave the pool; this helps to reduce the overall amount of damage.
Well, there you have it. Simply changing a few things can cause your hair to be envied by your family and friends. Understand that you are going to get better results with regards to your hair, the more time and effort you spend on it, but this doesn’t meant you have to spend a lot of money.
