Everyone wants to have beautiful hair that shows off their features, but doing too much can damage your hair. It takes some careful thought to achieve the perfect ratio between hair health and style. The following guide will help you achieve great looking hair and it will also give you guidelines on how to keep it like that.
If you constantly wear a ponytail, you shouldn’t tie the ponytail at the same spot every time. Even using soft, fabric-covered scrunchies, can cause repeated stress to that area, which will result in eventual breakage. Wear your down while you sleep, or anytime you don’t need to wear a ponytail, to help avoid damage from hair accessories.
If you notice your hair looking dry, there is a home conditioning treatment you can try. After you wash your hair and get rid of a bit of its wetness, use your conditioner and put a shower cap on for a couple of minutes. The heat that is created will force the conditioner to go down deep into your hair.
If you are using heat to dry your hair, move it around and avoid keeping it in one area of the head. By doing this, you will diminish the chances of damaging your hair with excessive heat.
Try to keep out of the harsh elements during the winter months. Hair tends to dry out when it is exposed to cold weather, which causes the hair to lose some of its nutrients and oils it needs to stay healthy. Make sure you protect your hair if you need to be outdoors for a long time.
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. Also, if you swim sans a swim cap, wash your hair right after swimming to stave off any chlorine damage.
Textured Hair
Incorporate texture into your hairstyle. It is a lot easier to style textured hair than non-textured hair. There are several different ways that texture can be achieved, so talk to your stylist about ideas like a perm or texturized cut. Your hair will be fuller in body and may offer various options for styling.
Never brush or comb your hair when it is wet unless you want to cause a lot of damage to it. Select a wide toothed comb and a brush that has soft, flexible bristles. Comb tangles in the bottom of hair when you begin, gradually working your way up until you get to your scalp.
