If you enjoy wearing your hair in one ponytail, don’t put the ponytail in one spot every time. Even soft, fabric hair scrunchies can cause hair breakage if they are placed in the same part of your hair day after day. Give your head a vacation from ponytails!
Cut back on using small appliances on your hair to renew its condition and strength. Some appliances, especially curling irons and blow dryers, can do a number on your hair, which makes controlling frizz and repairing damage a real pain. It wise to give a hair a break, at times, and stay away from the heat.
Prevent sun damage to your hair, by looking for products that contain sunscreen. The sun could damage your hair and eliminate the benefits you gain from your daily care routine. When you’re protecting your hair you will guarantee longevity as well as the preservation of its color.
Blow Dryer
Damaging your hair can actually be caused by blow drying it. Rather than using the traditional hot setting, use the blow dryer to blow cold air, and move the blow dryer frequently so that it doesn’t hit the same spot for too long. Use your fingers to help you untangle any knots in wet hair. This will help you to avoid damage caused by a brush.
It’s important to make sure your hair can retain moisture so that it doesn’t become dry and brittle, as this can lead to breakage. To keep your hair well moisturized, don’t use steaming hot water to shampoo. Rinse with cool, rather than hot, water once the shampoo part of your routine is completed. This process seals the shaft of your hair and prevents damage.
If you like your hair to look the way it looks after a swim in the ocean, you can get products that replicate salty ocean effects. Look for the words “salt spray” on sprays. Should you want to create this look yourself, put one teaspoon of table salt in with approximately a cup of water. Next, add approximately ten lavender oil drops, and you will have done it.
Minimize the use of a blow dryer. Blow dryers rely on heat that can cause severe damage to your hair. You should allow it to dry naturally when you can. If you must use one, use the lowest temperature setting and avoid letting it linger in the same spot for too long. You can minimize your use of the blow dryer by towel-drying your hair first.
There’s nothing like a little clarifying shampoo to revitalize dull hair. Dull looking hair can be the result of a buildup of hairdressing products over time.
