Nobody loves a bad hair day! So, taking care of your hair is vital for maintaining its shape and shine. Often, we use numerous hair care products to boost our hair’s health, but we forget to pay close attention to the roots!
Our hair is made out of protein, and practicing top-notch hygiene and eating a healthy diet is vital to carrying luscious locks. In case you want delicate and manageable hair, start the process by washing & conditioning.
In today’s article, we will discuss how you can transform the dream of having healthy hair into reality with 6 tips. Let’s get started!
Wash your hair with a chemical-free shampoo
Environmental factors ruin your hair, and you can’t control everything! But the type of shampoos you utilize can control the frizziness. Your hair will remain healthier only when you use shampoo with lesser amounts of chemicals. Always opt for revitalizing hair products, such as mild shampoos, which suit your hair texture. It would be better to avoid shampoos containing paraben and sulfates as they can cause skin irritation.
Rinse your hair with apple cider vinegar every month
Cleansing your hair with apple cider vinegar will help your hair look cleaner and glossier. Take one part of apple cider vinegar to 3 parts lukewarm water to treat dandruff issues if you have one; after that, rinse and wash your hair.
Go through the product’s composition before buying one
You must always examine the hair care products’ composition before using them because applying a random product to your hair can ruin your hair texture. Every type of hair needs special attention, and a product made for straight hair can’t be used for curly hair. Therefore, it will always be crucial to seek a dermatologist’s advice on your hair type.
Condition your hair according to your hair type
You must use a moisturized hair conditioner with natural hydration if you have medium to thick hair texture. Apply it all over the hair and keep it for 2-3 minutes. If you have fine hair, use a botanical oil treatment, such as tea tree or lavender oil, prior to shampooing to help work it under your hair cuticles.
Oil your hair appropriately
Pre-shampoo procedures like massaging and oiling the scalp increase blood flow, relax muscles, enhance shine and nourish the hair. Additionally, it promotes hair development, replenishes moisture content, and fixes split ends. Choose from coconut oil, almond oil, olive oil, castor oil, and others. Never use mineral oil on your hair.
Trim your hair monthly
It’s crucial to trim your hair every six to eight weeks in order to do away with split ends if you are having longer hair.. When the hair is damaged through heat styling, pollution, stress, and other factors split ends develop. The hair does not magically grow more quickly after a trim. Even though hair growth occurs at the scalp level, trimming assures healthy hair.
Consuming healthy meals, using chemical-free products, and oiling your hair will help take care of your hair. However, these are the top 6 tips for proper hair care that you can start today.
