Everyone wants the lustrous hair of a beauty commercial, but the harder we try, the more damaged our hair becomes. Creating the balance between styling and care requires knowledge. Use the article that follows to make your hair look its best for as long as you can.
You can really damage your hair when you constantly use a curling iron or blow dryer. If you are going to use heating products, place them on the lowest setting and protect your hair with a serum or cream. These serums will coat your hair and protect it from the damage that heat can cause.
Try switching to a pillowcase made of silk or satin to protect curly hair. Cotton pillowcases take away your hair’s natural oils, which can cause dryness. Satin pillowcases do not absorb moisture, so your hair will remain hydrated even through the night. A bonnet or scarf that is satin is also something you can use.
Do not get accustomed to always using the same brand of shampoo or conditioner. By switching your brands periodically your hair will become more responsive to the active ingredients in the products. You might find that one brand helps your scalp, while another helps it stay straight and smooth.
The correct way to brush your hair is from the bottom up, not the top down. If the ends are knotted, untangle them with care in order to prevent them from breaking. As you do this, you can then carefully brush from root to tip.
Include texture when considering your hairstyle. If your hairstyle has texture, it will take a lot less time to style. Texture can be added through the cut or style, or, alternatively, through a perm. You’ll soon see that your hair has more body. Depending on what kind of cut you get, you may also have more styling options.
If you brush and comb your hair it will make it grow faster by loosening the skin on your scalp. That will also unclog pores that are clogged on the scalp that might be interfering with growing hair. Work on using 100 strokes to brush the hair each day in order to promote hair growth.
Wait until your hair is dry before brushing or combing it; this will prevent damage and breakage. If you choose a brush, look for one with natural, soft bristles. If a comb is preferred, you will have less tangles and breakage if you choose one with wide teeth and plenty of space for the hair to flow through naturally. Eliminate tangles by brushing the ends of your hair, then working upward to the roots.
Achieving awesome hair can be a challenge. All the products that we use to manage our hair can have a negative effect over time. Ideally, you will want to aim for a good compromise between health, stylishness, and control. The suggestions that this article has just presented may help you strike that compromise.
