While everyone wants hair that makes their faces look attractive, all the combing, styling and primping can cause a great deal of damage to hair. Having beautiful hair requires thought and know-how. The following guide will help you achieve great looking hair and it will also give you guidelines on how to keep it like that.
Avoid damaging your hair by brushing it only when it is dry. Wet hair breaks easily, and brushing it can cause split ends. To prevent damage, you can brush your hair prior to showering, or let it dry for a little while and then comb it.
Ease up on small appliances that you when styling your hair in order to restore and strengthen its condition. Curlers, straighteners and dryers all cause harm to the hair, making frizz even more of a challenge. Make an effort to allow your hair to rest from the heat on a regular basis.
Blow Dryer
Learn how to use your blow dryer in ways that are less damaging to your hair. Keep your blow dryer moving constantly so it will not remain in the same spot for too long, and always set the dryer on the cool air setting. As you blow dry, gently detangle any knots you may have with your fingers to help minimize damage from brushing later.
If you like the way your hair looks after swimming in the ocean, there are products that mimic the salty ocean effects. Shop for hair products that say “salt spray”. You can create your own salt solution by mixing a cup of water with a spoonful of salt. Then, add about 10 lavender oil drops and you now have the mix that you need.
Avoid using a blow dryer. Because the hot air that comes from your blow dryer is able to cause a lot of damage to your hair, it’s best to let it air dry as often as you can. If you must blow-dry your hair, keep the hair dryer on a cool setting and do not keep the dryer in the same spot for very long. To quickly dry hair, dry your hair with a towel before blow drying.
When you are using conditioner, make sure you are spreading it evenly throughout your hair. Be patient when conditioning your hair, and leave it on for a few moments while bathing, then rinse at the end.
