Many of us don’t know where to start when it comes to proper hairdressing. When all is said and done, only you can care for and manage your hair. Read through this article for valuable tips and tricks for taking care of your hair.
In order to prevent hair damage, try not to brush it when it is still wet. Your hair is more easily broken and damaged when it is wet. To reduce this damage, brush your hair while it is dry, either before your shower or after it drys again.
If your hair is fine or thin, it’s best to avoid using any heavy conditioners. These can make hair appear heavy and less dense. Lighter conditioners, delivered in a spray or mousse are the best to give your hair good volume without weighing it down or causing a limp, greasy look.
One easy do-it-yourself conditioning treatment that works well is deep conditioning. 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 conditioner will penetrate the hair shaft as the heat from your scalp builds up under the shower cap.
Don’t tug on your hair, even with a towel on your head. Rubbing and tugging causes your hair to split and become frizzy. Rather, pat your hair dry, squeeze extra moisture with your hands, or sweep the hair up into a towel. Never brush wet hair with anything but a wide-tooth comb.
Avoid hairdressing products which have alcohol in them because alcohol is a drying agent. This can really harm your hair, so be careful when deciding on what products to use. Read labels, and be certain the products you buy will benefit your hair.
Heat styling tools, such as curling irons and straighteners can dry and damage hair. So, ensure that you protect the follicles by applying a styling product, such as a cream or serum, before you use heated products. These products help protect your hair from the heat that comes from these tools.
An even spread of conditioner through your hair is important, so ensure it does not simply congregate in one particular spot. Additionally, let the conditioner sit in your hair for 5-10 minutes so that it can be fully absorbed, then rinse it out.
To protect your hair sleep on a silk or satin pillow case. Ordinary cotton pillowcases have a tendency to leach the oil and moisture out of your hair. When you sleep on a silk pillowcase, your curls will retain their shape overnight. You could also try a satin scarf or sleep bonnet.
