✨ How to Care for Your Hair at Home: Healthy Hair in Simple Steps ✨
While you can visit a salon for an expensive treatment, there are simple everyday tricks you can use to maintain healthy, shiny hair at home. Here’s how:
- Pick a Shampoo and Conditioner Wisely
Depending on whether your hair is dry, oily, straight, curly, or color treated, choose the appropriate products. Furthermore, do not use shampoos that are laden with sulfates for harsh sulfates. Always choose nourishing sulfate-free shampoos and conditioning products.
- Do Not Overwash Your Hair
Each time you wash your hair, you strip it of natural oils. Oils play a key role in maintaining the health of your hair. For example, washing hair 2-3 times a week is ideal for most hair types while oily hair types may consider using mild shampoos that bring balance to their hair’s natural oil production.
- Deep Condition Once a Week
Using a deep conditioning hair mask can work wonders and should be cherry picked every week. Other than store bought varieties, natural coconut and olive oil or even aloe vera.
- Limit Heat Styling Tools
Curling wands, blow-dryers, and flat irons are all examples of hair tools that use heat – do your best to avoid them as much as possible. If you must use heat, there are protective products such as heat protectant spray that you can apply to help mitigate the damage.
- Regularly Trimming Ends
To maintain fresh looking hair, trimming the ends is a must do every 6 or so weeks. Not only will this help with shedding but many don’t know that it can impact the speed of hair growth.
- Follow a Hair-Friendly Dietary Plan
You need to realize that nutrition is very important especially when it comes to biotin, omega 3 fatty acids, and vitamins A, C, D, and E. These food items are needed for growth and strengthen the hair.
- Drink Water Regularly
Maintaining optimum hydration is important for your health.
