Tips for healthy hair

Non-Food Related Tips for Your Hair:

Since long, healthy hair needs healthy hair to begin with, remove the damaged hair down to where the hair is smooth and healthy. Although healthy hair does not need to be trimmed as often as damaged hair, you should trim your hair often using effective tools. Working with the wrong set of instruments could end up in actually more split-ends than before. If your hair begins to show damage, trim once again, eat better, and use the following tips in order to get your hair healthier inch-by-inch.

Tip 1: Avoid Daily Use of Heated Appliances – the blow dryer, curling iron, etc. I know that it is impossible to stop using these appliances especially when going out clubbing or going out to a nice restaurant but it is absolutely a cause of damaged hair. Try to cut down as much as possible.

Tip 2: Don’t use chemicals daily in your hair or even for long-time use. Perms and peroxide are deadly, literally, to your hair and the addition of these results in unavoidable damage. If you must     color, make sure the peroxide use is minimal and use color-related shampoos and conditioners to try to keep your hair healthy while it is colored.

Tip 3: While your hair is rejuvenating, avoid the beach or pool. The chlorine or salt found in the pool or the beach can damage your hair. If you need to swim, use specifically-formulated shampoo that removes the chlorine or just buy a long-hair swim cap.

Tip 4: Avoid rough usage of your hair. Never braid too thin, straighten too often, or when wet, wipe your hair with aggression.  Before shampooing, remove knots in your hair and then use a boar bristle brush to remove loose hairs.

Tip 5: If you wash your hair often do not use the shampoo every time. You can use the conditioner to wash away surface contaminants but the harsh chemicals found in shampoo should only be used occasionally during the week.

Tip 6: Try invigorating your hair by rinsing it in cold water. Do not expose your body to it for a long period of time but a cold shower can improve the health of your hair and give you a refreshed feeling away from the heat outside.

Tip 7: Take 1 to 3 250 mg capsules of borage oil, evening primrose, or flaxseed oil 1 to 3 times per day because of their richness in omega-3 fatty acid.

Tip 8: Wrap wet hair gently in a towel to allow for some soaking before you rub your hair and create split ends.

Tip 9: Get dressed and put your makeup on before styling your hair. Hair is susceptible to most damage when wet.

Tip 10: Use a humidifier at night. Often it can get really dry, and this dry environment can prevent your hair from remaining soft and shiny.
