If you are like most people, you want beautiful hair but you are just not sure what to do to achieve it. The piece that follows contains terrific ideas for improving the look and health of your hair now and in the future. No one wants lackluster hair; keep reading and you don’t have to have it.
Hair loves to be natural, so if you want a stronger, fuller head of hair, try not to use so many different appliances in your hair. The heat from blow dryers, curling irons, and straighteners can severely damage hair, leaving it difficult to tame and frizzy. It wise to give a hair a break, at times, and stay away from the heat.
Try not to use a blow dryer to dry your hair. Your hair might look frizzy if you are using heat to style it. Instead, wrap wet hair inside a towel for a while. This lets your hair naturally dry, and prevent too much frizz.
Hair Dry
Gently pat your hair dry with a towel rather than rubbing it violently. This causes your hair to frizz, and it stretches the strands of hair, causing them to potentially break. Pat your hair dry with a towel. Also, you should not use a brush or comb on wet hair, unless the comb is wide-toothed.
An important tip to remember when drying your hair with an electric dryer is to actually move the dryer constantly and change positions. This is so you can avoid damaging your hair. Concentrating on one area makes your hair more prone to heat damage.
Cold Weather
During autumn and winter months, avoid being in cold weather for long periods of time. Cold weather dries out hair, reducing the amount of natural oils that keep your hair healthy and lubricated. If you need to stay outdoors for a long time, make sure to wear a hat.
As you brush your hair, begin at the ends, and move up to the roots. Take care to gently release knots so the hair is not damaged. Once the tangles have been removed, one can safely brush the hair from the scalp to the ends in gentle strokes.
Wait until your hair is dry before brushing or combing it; this will prevent damage and breakage. Select a wide toothed comb and a brush that has soft, flexible bristles. Start at the bottom, combing out any tangles, and work your way up towards your scalp little by little.
When exiting the shower, avoid roughly drying your hair with a towel. This can cause your hair to break. A better method to preserve your hair is to simply squeeze out any moisture with your hands. Once you have removed most of the water you can then gently pat it down with the towel. It is best to use towels made of softer fabric.
Protect your hair from the damaging rays of the sun. Some hair products also have sunscreen. You might also find an attractive sun hat to wear. You have probably been trained to focus on your skin, but your hair is important, too. Your hair is also vulnerable to sun damage.
You might want to shower with cooler water if you’re having issues with dry hair. Hot water is very harsh on both your scalp and hair, drying them out and creating many additional problems. Using warm water to wash your hair in is much gentler to not only your hair but also you scalp. To add some extra shine, rinse your hair off with cold water.
Every month, your hair grows about half an inch. Many believe trimming makes it grow more, but it just makes it look that way. Older hair will succumb to damage like split ends, and this makes for frizzy, flat hair. You will, therefore, have a much healthier head of hair with consistent trims.
