Great hair is something we all want, but only a few people know how to actually produce it. The tips from the following article can help you get your hair into tip top shape. Start implementing these beneficial techniques to turn your hair from lackluster to gorgeous.
Stay away from heavy conditioners if you have thin or fine hair. Heavy conditioners are just that, heavy; they will weigh your hair down making it appear flat and lifeless. Light conditioners work better to add volume, without making the hair greasy or heavy.
To restore your hair’s condition and give it more strength, reduce the amount of time that small appliances are used in styling your hair. The heat from blow dryers, curling irons, and straighteners can severely damage hair, leaving it difficult to tame and frizzy. Lay off the blow dryer and curling iron from time to time, and let your hair have a break from the heat.
Hair Growth
Ignore the notion that you’ll see faster hair growth after frequent trims. No matter how much you trim your hair, it grows at a rate of about half an inch each month. You can sometimes see faster growth with biotin supplements or in the summer; however, hormones, not scissors, control hair growth. A good trim will get rid of any split ends and improve your hair’s appearance.
There are now products available that will give your hair the effect of just having bathed in the salty ocean. These sprays may be called “salt spray” or something like that. Try putting together a teaspoon of salt and one cup of water for your own mixture. You can add lavender oil for a splash of fragrance; about ten drops per eight ounces of water should do the trick!
Avoid letting your blow dryer linger in one spot too long, and keep it moving evenly across your hair. That way, serious damage resulting from heat can be prevented.
Make sure you thoroughly but evenly add conditioner to your hair when you maintain it. Also, it is best you leave the conditioner in your hair for several minutes so it can soak in before rinsing out.
Cold Weather
Try to avoid exposing your skin, scalp and hair to the drying effects of cold weather. Cold weather dries out your hair and reduces essential oils and nutrients. If you need to stay outdoors for a long time, make sure to wear a hat.
