Your hair is a statement. With proper care, it will glow. You don’t need expensive treatments to have beautiful hair; there are numerous ways to manage it yourself.
1. For shiny, healthy hair think first of your body’s intake. Hair health mirrors your internal well-being. A balanced diet is more effective than topical products. Hydration is also essential, as hair is 25% water.
2. After washing, gently towel-dry your hair to remove excess moisture. Allow it to air-dry at room temperature, avoiding harsh rubbing. Minimize or eliminate the use of heat styling tools, as they can cause long-term damage and brittleness. Opt for natural drying whenever possible.
3. Prevent unnecessary hair damage by using the right kind of hairbrush. Use only a wide-tooth comb for wet hair, detangling from mid-shaft to ends, avoiding the roots. Hard steel combs can cause significant damage when used on wet hair, so refrain from using them.
4. Remove trichomoniasis, or split ends, like this: take small sections of your hair and carefully twist them in a gentle downward motion. Visible split ends can be addressed by carefully snipping into twisted sections of hair with sharp scissors. Avoid cutting completely through the twist; instead, trim the damaged cuticles to create a natural, layered effect. Ensure balanced trimming across all twisted sections for a uniform look.
5. Hair loss can be slowed, or even reversed by applying a few simple tips. While not a cure for underlying issues, biotin can support hair follicle regeneration. A daily smoothie of bananas, honey, yogurt, and low-fat milk can be beneficial. Supplements like Vitamin B6 and zinc may also help. Managing stress and prioritizing sleep are equally important for hair health.
