HEALTHY HAIR HABITS

Hair is delicate and should be treated with care. Many hairdressers advise you to treat your hair like a cashmere sweater. And they are right! If you want healthy hair, you need to start by learning how to treat your hair the right way (and the wrong way). This means limiting hot styling, bleaching, and regular haircuts. If you've learned these good habits by your 20s, you're set for life.

 

Treat your scalp the same way you treat the hair growing from it

A healthy scalp is essential for hair growth. If you suffer from dandruff, consult your dermatologist on how to treat an itchy, scaly scalp. Some quick tips: shampoo daily with zinc parathion. Also use products with salicylic acid in the ingredients list to exfoliate dandruff.

 

Don't fall into the trap of excessive supplementation

Although supplements for hair, skin, and nails are widely used, they are not always effective. There are no real rules in the supplement business. Although biotin, zinc, and even protein is important for strong hair, it's best to get them through diet rather than pills.

 

Use a conditioner after each shampoo

 unless you're using a 2-in-1 shampoo that cleanses and conditions. Conditioning can dramatically improve the appearance of damaged or damaged hair by increasing shine, reducing frizz, increasing strength and providing protection from harmful UV rays.

 

Apply an intensive conditioner to the ends of the hair.

Since conditioners can make fine hair limp, they should only be used on the ends of the hair and not on the scalp or hairline.

 

Choose a shampoo and conditioner that are specifically adapted to your hair type

 For example, if you have colored hair, use a shampoo for colored hair. If your hair is damaged or chemically treated, consider using a 2-in-1 shampoo. Regardless of price, many shampoos and conditioners offer the same benefits.

 

Avoid using heat whenever possible

While everyone loves hot styling tools like hair dryers, curling irons, and straighteners, the best way to avoid split ends is to avoid heat a few times a week. Your favorite tools can weaken and damage your hair, leaving it brittle, dull, and dry. When you can't do without hot tools, use a heat protection spray.

 

A healthy diet for hair

Diet can play an important role in having thicker, healthier hair. As hair is mainly made up of protein, it is advisable to eat protein-rich foods to keep it strong.

 

Protect your hair from the sun

The sun not only discolors colored hair but also dries out the curls and makes them brittle. Get a hat so you can wear it outdoors. If you're by the pool, apply conditioner and tie your hair into a loose knot.
