We all want beautiful hair, but we don’t always do what it takes. Achieving a balance between condition and style requires careful thought and know-how. The article that follows helps you do what it takes to have healthy hair.
If you’re fond of wearing your hair back in a ponytail, be sure not to tie your hair back in the same place on your head each time. You can use fabric scrunchies to minimize stress caused to the hair in that area; however, you can still experience breakage. If you have to tie up hair for your job, let it down when you are not working.
Be wary of the impact that small hair appliances can have on your hair. These devices really traumatize your hair a lot, making it harder for you to keep it healthy. It’s a great idea to let your hair rest and recuperate by putting down the styling tools from time to time.
If you can possibly avoid it, don’t use a hair dryer when you are drying your hair. If you heat style your hair, it can start looking frizzy and damage your hair as well. Instead, keep your hair wrapped up in a towel. Keep it this way as long as you can. This lets your hair dry naturally, and keeps the frizz at bay.
When drying your hair, make sure that you never pull and tug on your hair. This can cause frizz and stretches your hair, causing breakage. Patting or blotting your hair will allow you to dry your hair without damage. Never use a brush on wet hair, only use a comb with wide teeth.
You can use an easy, cheap deep-conditioning treatment to help dry hair. Just wet your hair a bit and apply lots of your conditioner. Then, use a towel, plastic wrap, or anything else that will keep the heat from escaping. Then, let it sit for at least thirty minutes before washing the conditioner out with your favorite shampoo.
When you are using a blow dryer on your hair you should move it around as much as possible and avoid having it blowing on one area of your head for too long of a time. This will lessen the chance of your hair being damaged due to heat.
Texture should be a key element in your hairstyle. When you have textured hair, the time you use in styling it will be reduced. You can add texture to your hair by cutting it, having a perm, or styling it differently. This can give your hair fuller body, as well as many styling options.
If you battle with dry hair, take a colder shower than normal. Water that is too hot can dry out your hair, resulting in many problems. Using warm water to wash your hair in is much gentler to not only your hair but also you scalp. For some extra shine, rinse your hair with cold water after your hair is clean.
Good hair can be hard to have, especially since we do so much to it! The styling products and heat tools we all use can take a great toll on the hair. This article will have hopefully shown you some new ways to get a better balance in between control and style.
