1. Try to wash your hair less
Most experts agree that washing your hair too often
can damage it and make it dry. This is because when you shampoo it daily, it
strips your hairs natural oils which is designed to condition and protect your
hair. To keep your hair healthy you only need to wash it two to three
times a week. People with coloured hair need to be careful of over washing as
this can make the colour lose it sheen a lot quicker. Try to wash your coloured
hair less and instead rinse and condition the hair every other day as shampoo
can wash out colour. If you do aim to scale back the amount of times you wash
your hair, remember you could use dry shampoo. It will help reduce the oil
build up in your hair and can give your hair great texture. Dry shampoo can
help to refresh your hair at the roots and tips but it will also help you to
retain all the important moisture your hair needs.
2. Shampoo your hair correctly.
It’s important when shampooing that we use the
right amount of product as using too much can do more harm than good. The
amount of shampoo you should use depends on the length and thickness of your
hair, most hair experts recommends a blob the size of a 20p coin is a good
amount. If your hair is very long then it should be 50p-size dollop. You also
have to apply your shampoo correctly. Give your head an invigorating massage as
you shampoo this is a good way to encourage blood circulation and helps to detoxify
the scalp. Also make sure that you don’t wash your hair with extremely hot
water as this will dry out your hair and create tangles that could result in
breakage.
3.
Make sure you towel-dry your hair before applying conditioner.
Try
to use a deep conditioner that will add moisture and strength back to your
hair. To get the full use of a conditioner make sure your hair towel-dry before
applying the conditioner. If your hair is very wet the excess water in your
hair will prevent the conditioner from penetrating the hair shaft so it won’t
moisture it properly. If you dry your hair a little it will help the
conditioner to work better so your hair will look a lot more healthy and shiny.
4. Brush your hair
gently.
You need to brush
your hair regularly to keep it healthy, however don’t be rough with your hair.
For shiny, healthy and untangled hair, you need to brush your hair twice a day.
Hairdressers recommends that you should brush your hair once in the morning and
once before going to bed.
5. Be careful when hair-drying
It
can be very damaging to your hair to overheat it with excessive blow
drying. If you can try to use the hairdryer less and let it dry naturally. If
you do use a hairdryer always apply a heat protection product beforehand.
