Hair Care Tips To Keep You Hair Beautiful
There are several things that you can conduct on a regular basis in order to improve the overall appearance and health of your hair, as well as several things that you can elude (read below).
Brush Your Hair Often
When you brush your dry hair, you help stimulate blood supply to the scalp, distribute sebum for moisture and protection, and remove dead skin cells from the scalp which helps to avoid infection.
Giving your hair a hundred strokes is the ideal way to provide these brushing benefits. Do it slowly and use a gentle brush or natural bristle brush if you can, as you don’t want to pull or break your hair.
Massage Your Scalp
During the day, it is important to massage your scalp in small circular motions with the pads of your fingers so that you don’t scratch your scalp, mess your style too much, and break your hair.
Give Your Hair a Break
Contrary to popular believe, you don’t have to wash your hair every single day. Give it a rest at least once a week from your daily shampoo and heating tools.
Of course, there are some exceptions. If you have a dirty job, have dandruff, have rashes, have infections, sweat a lot during the day, or are a teenager, you need to wash it every day.
Give Your Hair a Conditioning Treatment
Besides everyday conditioners, you also need to apply a deep conditioning treatment to your hair at least once a week.
In order to apply this type of treatment into your hair, make sure to brush your hair, wash it lightly, dry it with a towel, apply deep conditioner, and leave it for 10-30 minutes.
When you reach this timeframe, rise it with lukewarm water first and then cool water. Cool water will help close the hair cuticle while the warm water will help to remove the conditioner residue that’s in your hair.
Apply Everyday Conditioner
In order to reduce the need for frequent trims, damage that is produced by the usage of heat styling tools, discoloration when coloring, and split ends, make it a habit to apply conditioner every day right after shampooing your hair.
If you tend to use a lot of heat styling tools, search for a product that is designed for thermal styling.
Haircuts
In order to prevent breakage and reduce split ends, make sure to trim your hair every couple of weeks. If you have shoulder length or longer hair, cut it every eight weeks. If you have a shorter hair style, cut it every six weeks.
Up-Dos
In order to keep your hair growing more and more without having it fall or break off, make sure to up-do your long hair a couple of times a week and when you are doing housework throughout the day as well.
If you opt to do this, you will help keep the weight off the root of your hair. If you have shorter hair, this tip is not possible at the moment for you but keep it in mind for the future.
How to Effectively Wash Your Hair
- When you wash your hair, let it hang naturally while you either stand in the shower or while you are leaning over a bath or shampoo sink. Never in a million years pile it up on your head while you wash it.
- Always wet your hair with warm water when preparing it for shampooing. Do not use hot water, and make sure to keep the pressure on the showerhead gentle in order to avoid water pressure from bombarding your hair.
- Pour the shampoo of your choice into the palm of your hand. The more organic the shampoo is…the better.
- Work the shampoo into a lather and then apply it to your scalp. Work the shampoo into the scalp by massaging with your fingertips, not your fingernails. Never drag your finger tips on your scalp. Move them from one area to the next. If your hair is dirty or oily, work the shampoo to the ends. On the other hand, if your tresses are very processed or dry, it is best that you just wash your scalp, and let the shampoo pick up dirt or oil on the ends when you rinse it out.
- With lukewarm water, rinse your hair thoroughly and allow it to hang naturally. If you hair is long and requires extra help when rinsing the shampoo out of it, you may spread it out gently with your fingertips.
- Apply a conditioner to the end of your roots. If you hair tends to be dry, apply the remainder of the conditioner that is left on your hands onto your roots, and repeat rinse.
- Use a hair towel wrap to keep hair in place. Wrapping your hair in a normal towel increases your risk of hair breakage.
- Once your hair is completely dry, you may apply a leave-in conditioner.
- Never brush wet hair. Only utilize a wide-tooth comb when combing your wet hair.
- Don’t sleep on wet hair, as this can cause breakage and a dull appearance on your hair, as you turn on your pillow.
- Whenever possible, air-dry your hair
Pro Tips to Treat Your Hair the Right Way
According to the most dynamic fashion and beauty trendsetter in the last 10 years in the East Coast, Gretchen Monahan.
When you highlight or lighten your hair, you are basically stripping away its color to achieve your desire lighter shade, which can make it dry.
In order to make it luminous, smooth, and noticeably softer, Monahan recommends that you wash it daily with Dove Advanced Color Care for Lightened or Highlighted Hair.
When hair is colored to a shade that is darker or similar to its natural shade, it may lose its luster and have a new color-coated feel. Monahan recommends that you wash your hair with Dove Advanced Color Care for Hair Colored Darker or Similar to your natural color shade.
