Soft yet strong strands are the ideal, but with all the styling choices we have, who can’t stand not having their hair iron curled, straightened, colored, bleached, or extended? The combinations to customize how your hair looks are limitless. However, the price is the strand’s health.
Before you go further with your hair-styling frenzies, you have to know how to keep it healthy first. And here are 4 top hair care tips you should learn.
Opt for Treatments with Temporary Results
Whether it is hair coloring, curling, or extension treatments, you will have to expose your hair to chemicals if you want the result to last long. Many claim to be ‘permanent’, but technically speaking, there is no such thing because your hair will revert back its natural look eventually.
Avoid Heat
If you think this suggestion means that you should not walk during the day, you are wrong. We’re talking about hairdryers and straighteners here. Too much of using those tools can lead to frizzy, dry, and brittle hair. Prefer to air dry your hair as much as you can. And if you need to use the straighteners, don’t forget to treat your hair with conditioners and hair masks afterward.
Invest in Home Care Kits
Treating your hair is an investment because once the strands are damaged, and repair will be complicated. Just like any other health tips, you’d better prevent the damage or treat it while it’s mild. And the best thing about hair care is you can do some of it at home. Get hair conditioners, hair masks, and serums. And apply them routinely.
Don’t bother with preparing the hair care tips by yourself just because you want to keep it ‘natural’. The truth is everything is chemical. And if you buy from a trusted brand, you buy a product that has been tested, unlike the mix of oils you make by yourself.
Keep Hydrated and Eat Healthily
Your hair is just a part of a larger organic system, your body. If you are not healthy, your hair growth will be affected. And among all abuses that people often do to themselves, dehydration gives the most apparent damage to the hair. Also, keep a balanced diet of proteins, minerals, and vitamins. Nutrients are keys to beautiful hair.
