We all strive to have the best looking hair that makes us look so nice, but you need to watch out if you’re styling and messing with it too much. Achieving a balance between condition and style requires careful 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.
Most women’s hair grows around a half of an inch every four to five weeks. Therefore, it makes sense to get haircuts approximately every five weeks so that you do not accumulate split ends. Split ends are frustrating and hard to eliminate, so remember you follow this trick.
Be sure not to stay under the shower head too long when taking a shower. This can deplete the oils on your scalp that can lead to an unsightly appearance. So, shower quickly to help you get clean and give you that healthy and shiny looking hair each morning.
When applying products like mousse, gels and other hairdressing products, do not apply them directly to the scalp. Doing this can clog up your head’s pores, leading to hair growth issues, or worse, scalp pimples. So, take extra care to only apply it to your hair.
Restrict your use of heat styling tools so that your hair can remain strong. The heat from blow dryers, curling irons, and straighteners can severely damage hair, leaving it difficult to tame and frizzy. Now and then, let your hair rest by avoiding heated tools.
If you need to blow dry your hair, do not concentrate it in one area. Instead, move it around. This can lower the chance of too much damage from the heat.
When towel drying never briskly rub your hair. Not only will this cause damage to your hair at the roots, but it will also stretch the hair and cause it become frizzy and thin. A better option is to gently squeeze the excess water from your wet hair; you may also do so by loosely wrapping your hair in a towel or microfiber cloth. If you need to comb your hair while it’s still wet, use a comb with wide spaced teeth. Do not use a brush on your hair while it’s wet.
Lower your stress level. Even though stress and hair my seem unrelated, stress can actually have an adverse effect on your hair. If your life is full of stress, you’re more likely to lose hair or deal with hair damage. Be sure to get enough sleep and relax so you can keep down your stress levels.
If you must comb your hair before it is dry, use a gentle wide-tooth comb. According to studies, curly locks do not tangle as easily as straight strands, and wet hair is at its most curly. Over combing your hair should be avoided so that the natural oils can nourish and protect each strand.
The abuse we inflict on our hair can keep us from having the gorgeous hair we desire. All these products and tools we use regularly can weight it down after some time. With any luck, this article can help you balance control, condition and style simultaneously.
