Healthy and shiny hair is kind of what we all want.
And while it’s attractive, it does require certain lifestyle changes and quite a bit of care.
And if you want healthy hair, then it’s definitely something to prioritize with the right habits.
Also, just remember that as you try these ideas out for your own hair, it will take time. But I promise you, it’s so worth it!
I mean, in two years time, where do you want to be? Healthy beautiful hair? Or the hair you have now. It’s up to you!
You Will Learn About:
1. Avoid Scratching the Scalp
Continuous itching, scratching, and dryness can cause a weakening of the hair and lead to hair loss (as shown in a study).
So to avoid this, use a shampoo that suits your hair type. Girls with incredible hair use hair products according to their type and they take proper care.
2. Give Your Hair a Rest
Our hair has a lot to endure in our daily routines.
We tie it up in tight hair styles, we heat it up to high temperatures to get curls, we shower with really hot water, etc.
So in order to avoid damage, we need to give our hair a rest:
- Try using no-heat hairstyles.
- Air dry more often instead of using blow dryers. Or if you do blow dry, go 50/50 on hot air to cold air.
- Stay away from using styling tools too frequently.
- Use warm to cooler water for showers instead of really hot water.
- Don’t have tight pulled back hairstyles. Instead use things like a hair clip to keep your hair up.
3. Regular Haircuts
Good hair needs to be trimmed every six to eight weeks.
Why? Because split ends can make your hair look dry and damaged.
So it’s a great idea to set up times to get it done. This way you’re not having any split ends fall off and your hair can look amazing!
4. Hair Protecting Serums & Sprays
I know it can seem like more hassle, but girls who have good hair take special steps to avoid damage and dryness caused by heating.
They use heat protecting sprays and serums before using straighteners, curlers, or hair dryers.
It’s just a simple way to make sure you’re taking good care of your hair.
5. Diet & Vitamins
A healthy diet plays a big role in attractive hair.
Girls maintaining a balanced diet, taking the right vitamins, and drinking lots of water have some really nice hair.
I promise you, your diet plays a bigger role in your hair’s health than you realize! So definitely talk to your doctor (or do your own research) about what supplements you can take for your hair health.
6. Over-Brushing (Or Combing)
Brushing hair is a good habit but brushing over and over can cause damage to the hair.
So the habit of gentle brushing should be adopted instead of brushing harshly. Take your time.
Pro Tip: Also, using good brushes like the Wet Brush, is a great way to minimize damage.
7. Moisturizing Properly
Moisturizing throughout the week is a crucial step in having incredible hair (especially if you live in dry or windy climates.)
So try using store-bought or at-home hair masks once or twice a week. Also, putting oils in your hair (like olive oil) and letting it sit for a few hours can’t hurt!
Anything you can do to help your hair stay moisturized is gonna be a great idea.
8. Avoid Hot Water
Taking a super-hot shower is not good for the skin, but it’s also not great for your hair health either.
Hot water can dry out and damage your hair, so make sure your shower is warm, but not overly heated.
