Everybody wants hair that looks healthy and shiny. And you can only achieve this by taking good care of your hair. Failure to take care of your hair can lead to hair related problems such as hair loss, split ends, rough and dull hair, dandruff, etc.
You may ask yourself why you should look after your hair, the answer is that hair plays an essential role in transforming your appearance. And you can only make it achieve this role by using natural products such as virgin hair.
The following are some incredible tips to help you take care of your hair.
- Reconsider how you wash your hair
A report shows that 33% of women who have changed their washing habits in the last one year cite worrying about damage as the main reason. Hair experts says that less is more. Over washing your hair can cause damages to your hair especially if it is bleached, colored, chemically treated, or is naturally dry.
When you wash your hair daily, it strips away the natural oils and proteins that you need to keep the hair and scalp healthy so you should try to reduce washing your hair to three times a week if possible. But then again hair washing depends on the type of your hair.
- Use the right tools
Always remember that just like your skin, what you put on your hair will affect it. You should invest in quality products and tools to keep your hair looking and feeling healthy and strong. You should have a round brush at home for blow-dry.
Even though good brushes are a bit costly, they are worth investing in because if you take care of them, they will last for ages. Always wash your hair brushes in a mixture of baking soda and warm water once in a month to keep them clean and free of dead hair, oil, or product build-up.
- Learn to blow-dry properly
A good blow-dry should last for a couple of days depending on your hair type. There are multiple products that can help to prolong the life of your style. Styling your hair doesn’t always have to involve a hot tool, you can also incorporate a fabulous high ponytail. By making your style to last a few days, you will prevent hair damage.
- Always protect your hair
It is no surprise that hair can get damaged by UV and heated tools such as straighter, tongs, hairdryers, etc. so it is crucial to protect your hair as possible as you can. When drying out your hair at home, always use a heat protector. Again when drying, you should not hold the drier too close to your lengths to prevent split and fluffy ends.
- Condition properly
When it comes to hair type, especially the thick and curly tresses, a good conditioner is crucial. For curly and highly textured hair, you should always deep condition. Deep conditioning involves the use of a conditioner that adds moisture and strength back to hair. To ensure that your hair really absorbs the conditioner, you should towel-dry it after shampooing.
