Many people don’t know how to give their hair the best care possible. It ultimately falls to you to handle and take control of your hair. You can use this article to help you go the right way to start taking care of your hair.
If you enjoy wearing your hair in one ponytail, don’t put the ponytail in one spot every time. Stress can occur in your hair even when using soft scrunchies. This stress can lead to breakage over time. Try letting your hair down in your off hours to let your hair rest.
Whenever possible, avoid using heated styling tools; this makes it easier to restore and fortify your hair. Curling irons and blow dryers can seriously dry your hair, and can make it nearly impossible to control frizz and restore condition. Every so often, give your hair some time away from the heat!
You can revive parched tresses using ingredients in your cupboard. Once you have washed your hair and wrung out some of the wetness, apply your conditioner and then pop on a shower cap for a few minutes. The heat that is created will force the conditioner to go down deep into your hair.
If you value your hair, don’t use a blow dryer. Styling with heat can really damage your hair and leave it frizzy and unruly. Instead, try wrapping your hair up using a towel for a while. Your hair will then dry the natural way and it will not be frizzy.
Grow Faster
Nevermind the old wives’ tale about more frequent trims causing your hair to grow faster. No matter how often it is cut, human hair will grow at a rate of about a half-inch every month. Your hair might grow faster in the summer or if you are taking supplements such as biotin, this is a hormone, not scissors. Trims do eliminate split ends, though, which can make your hair look much better.
Hair dryers can harm hair. You should avoid using a blow dryer to avoid your hair from being harmed, find a different way to dry your hair if you have to dry it. Untangle knots with your fingers while drying your hair to avoid damaging your hair when you brush it afterward.
Do not ever tug or rub your hair with the towel when you are drying it. This can cause frizz and stretches your hair, causing breakage. Instead, pat, blot or gently squeeze excess moisture from your hair, or wrap it loosely in a towel. You should not brush or comb your hair when it is wet, if you must then use a wide tooth comb.
Satin Pillowcase
To help protect your curls while you sleep, use a satin pillowcase. Traditional cotton ones may facilitate drying of the hair and leaching of key oils. You will find that your hair is as curly and beautiful in the morning as it was the night before if you sleep on a satin pillowcase. You might also want to use a satin scarf or bonnet too.
Don’t use the same shampoo and conditioner over and over. When you change brands every now and then, your hair may react positively. Another brand may be better at removing build-up or adding volume.
If you suffer from dry hair, take a warm shower instead of a hot shower. Hot water could dry your scalp and hair, which could cause a lot of problems. Warm water is much gentler for your head and hair. To get your hair extra shiny, rinse your hair with cold water at the very end.
You should never over-brush the hair. You might think that all that brushing is good for your hair, but that isn’t the case. Too much brushing of the hair can pull it out by the follicles and damage individual hairs.
You may now notice people taking a second glance when they walk by. They will take notice of your magnificent locks thanks to your recent education in proper hairdressing. Put them to use everyday, and watch all of the double-takes as you walk down the street!
