TIP! Don’t let your hair suffer damage from the sun. If you spend time in the sun, use products that contain hair sunscreen.

Learn the techniques for cutting your own hair. Visiting your hair salon frequently can cost a lot of money, so taking the time to learn to cut your hair yourself is a great time and money saver. There are many self hair cutting videos found on YouTube that will teach you all you have to know.

Your hair can become dried and damaged from chlorine that comes from swimming pools. Protect your hair by using a swimming cap before getting into the water. After you get out of the pool, wash your hair right away with clean water. Look for shampoos and conditioners that are specially formulated to remove chlorine from your hair if you swim regularly in chlorinated pools.

TIP! Avoid using heavy conditioners if your hair is fine or thin. This only weighs your hair down giving it a thinner appearance.

If common hair care products aren’t working for your hair, go all-natural. Olive oil, coconut and avocado are all easily absorbed by hair. You can also use egg yolk mixed with a little mayonnaise to moisturize hair. Dirt can be removed by baby powder for a fast dry shampoo method. Another natural product that can be used to brighten hair is lemon juice.

Use satin or silk pillow cases. Cotton pillowcases have a habit of snagging your hair, which can damage it. The satin or silk will make your hair slide over the pillow. If you do not have a silk or satin pillowcase, pull your hair up using a fabric covered hair bow.

TIP! Start brushing and untangling your hair from the bottom up. Detangle your hair carefully as you work through your hair to minimize breakage.

If you want to have hair that is soft and shiny, you could create your own concoction to accomplish this. This formula only has a single ingredient. What you do is give your scalp a gentle massage (lasting approximately five minutes) using one half of an egg white. Wash your hair as normal and watch it shine.

Whenever possible, don’t use a hair dryer on your hair. Styling your hair with heat is damaging and it can cause hair to be frizzy. Instead, leave your hair wrapped in a towel to dry it. This promotes natural drying and minimizes the amount of frizz that will remain when you are done.

TIP! In order to maintain healthy hair and avoid damage, don’t brush your hair unless it is dry. Wet hair is far more fragile than dry hair, making it more prone to breakage.

Now you can see that having lovely hair is not impossible. Use these tips to get the best tresses in no time. It just takes a bit of effort, and maybe a little patience, to achieve the beautiful hair you wish for.
