There is a healthy body underneath every head of healthy hair. Take good care of it by eating nutritious food accompanied by drinking lots of clean, fresh water. A proper diet requires the right amount of fruits and veggies, whole grains and other healthy substances. Eat well and your hair will thank you for your efforts.
Avoid brushing your hair when it is wet. Wet hair is more easily damaged than dry hair. You can avoid damage by simply brushing your hair prior to a shower, or waiting until it has air dried afterward.
If you feel as if your hair is dry, here is something that you can try. When your hair has been washed and you have somewhat dried it, add conditioner and a shower cap onto it for several minutes. The heat generated will allow the conditioner to deeply penetrate your hair follicles.
Try to dry your hair naturally, rather than using a hair dryer. Using heat to style the hair can cause damage and frizziness. What you should do instead is keep your hair wrapped up in a towel for a little while. This is the best way to retain moisture, avoid frizz and also protect the texture of your hair.
Prevent sun damage to your hair, by looking for products that contain sunscreen. Any advantages you may get from proper hair care can be swiftly undone by the sun’s damaging rays. Protecting your hair properly can also increase its longevity and maintain your color.
If you enjoy the look of your hair after a day in the ocean, you can buy products that can give your hair the same effect. Shop for hair products that say “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.
When you are towel drying your hair, don’t tug on it or rub it vigorously. Your hair strands are likely to stretch and break and it will dry frizzy. Instead, pat, blot or gently squeeze excess moisture from your hair, or wrap it loosely in a towel. It’s also best not to brush or comb your hair while it’s still wet, unless the comb you use is wide-toothed.
With any luck, the ideas in this piece are ones you can simply combine into your everyday habits. Even if you only incorporate one or two of the tidbits you have learned here, you are sure to see an improvement in your hair’s look and feel.
