Additional Tips

1. Maintain A Balanced Diet

Healthy hair starts with nourishing your hair. It doesn’t matter what you put on your hair if it isn’t properly nourished. You must ensure that your hair is getting the right amount of nutrients, healthy fats, and proteins. Keep hydrated.

2. Select the Right Products

Natural or herbal shampoos without harsh chemicals such as SLS and Sulfates can make a big difference in your hair’s overall health. Sulfates can be harsh on hair and strip your natural oils. A good hair conditioner should be free from silicones. Silicones can add shine to your hair but they can also cause buildup that ends up weighing it down.

3. Oil Massage

You can give yourself or get someone else to do it at least once per week. Oil massages can relieve tension and promote blood circulation, which will ensure that your follicles remain healthy.

4. Invest In A Wide-Tooth Wooden Comb And A Boar Bristle Brush

A wide-tooth wooden comb with a large tooth will protect your hair from static and breakage. This is the best comb for detangling hair. A boar bristle brush can be used to pull out the oils from your roots. This will ensure that your hair is healthy and well-nourished. You should avoid combing your hair when it’s still damp as this can lead to hair breaking.

5. Never Skip Conditioning

When it comes to hair health, conditioning is essential. Never skip using conditioner after you shampoo. A hair mask that is extremely hydrating and can be used at least once per week would be a great idea. A good leave-in conditioner is a great investment if you have very dry hair.

6. Always wash with cool water

Cool water seals your hair’s cuticles and makes it silky smooth. It also prevents your hair from losing moisture.

7. Trim Regularly

It is important to trim your hair every 6-8 week. This will eliminate split ends and prevent damage from extending further up the hair shaft.

8. Stop using Hot Styling Tools

Regular heat styling can cause hair damage. It is a good idea not to be so dependent on your straightener that you don’t use it as much.

9. Do Not Over-Wash Your Hair

Hair that is washed more than three times a week can become dry and lifeless. Keep your hair clean by washing it only 2-3 times per week.

10. Let Your Hair Air-Dry

Let your hair air dry instead of drying it with a blow dryer. You can do this by gently sucking out excess water with a towel, and letting it dry open to air dry. Don’t rub your hair with the towel too vigorously as this can cause hair damage.
