It is possible to have a bad hair day. Isn’t it? Most of the time, does the hair that models show off in hair care ads seem like a far-fetched dream to you? We agree that most of them are a bit too much.
But people who know a lot about hair care say that the dream of healthy hair can come true with the right care. This post has a list of the best tips for taking care of your hair.
Dos for Hair Care
1. Always wash your hair.
When you wash your hair often, your head and hair will be free of dirt and oil. But the right number of times depends on your hair type and what you like. If your hair is very dry, you should only wash it twice a week. If you have an oily skin, you might want to wash your hair every other day.
2. Let your hair dry on its own
We get it. When you blow-dry your hair, it looks as good as the hair of your favorite movie star. But using too much heat to style your hair can hurt your skin. If you have to style, only do it for big events. The best way to dry your hair after shampooing is to let it air dry or use a towel. Never sleep in wet hair or comb wet hair. If you rub your hair too hard with a towel, it can hurt the skin. Be gentle.
3. Oil your hair the right way
Oiling and massaging the scalp before you wash it helps the blood flow to the head, relaxes your muscles, boosts shine, and nourishes the hair. It also brings back the hair’s wetness, helps it grow, and fixes split ends. You can use coconut oil, almond oil, olive oil, castor oil, or something similar. Try not to put mineral oil in your hair.
4. Use shampoos with no chemicals
You can’t really change all the things in the world that damage your hair, but you can change the shampoos you use. The less chemicals there are in your shampoo, the better for your hair. Choose shampoos that are soft and good for your hair type.
Sulfates and parabens are used to make foam and keep the shampoo from going bad, but over time they can irritate the skin and raise the risk of reproductive problems.
5. Condition the Right Way
Your conditioner has things in it that make your hair straight and easy to work with. It saves your hair from damage caused by the environment and heat styling tools. But you should only put it on the ends of your hair, not on your head. Also, make sure to wash it off well after you put it on.
6. Style your hair the way you want
Who doesn’t like those beautiful curls and waves? But you can do these things without heating your hair. This is how:
If you still want to use a curling iron, straightening iron, or blow dryer, buy a good product that protects hair from heat first.
7. Use a comb with wide teeth
Wet hair is weak and more likely to break. Let your hair dry, and then brush it with a wide-toothed comb. This kind of comb keeps your hair from getting hurt.
8. Trim Your Hair Frequently
Split ends can be fixed by trimming your hair every 6 to 8 weeks. Split ends happen when heat styling, pollution, smoking, worry, and other things damage the hair. Cutting the hair doesn’t make it grow faster by magic. The head is where hair grows, but trimming keeps hair healthy.
9. Drink more water
Hydration from the inside and the outside is the key to healthy, well-balanced hair. Even if you use creams and products that moisturize your hair, you need to drink at least 3 liters of water every day to keep your hair healthy.
10. Consume right
As long as we write about hair care and face care, we will keep saying, “You are what you eat.” Proteins and amino acids make up your hair. To grow well and stay healthy, it needs the right food. Some great foods for healthy hair are eggs, berries, nuts, fish, green leafy veggies, and sweet potatoes.
11. Wear caps or hats
The sun can hurt your hair in the same way that it can hurt your skin. Harsh sun rays can strip your hair of its wetness, leaving it dry, brittle, and damaged over time. Wear a hat when you go outside to keep this damage from happening to your hair. When you go swimming, wear a cap to protect your hair. Water with chlorine in it is bad for your hair.
12. Use hair ties
We love to show off our open hair, but we do use hair bands to protect it from the surroundings. Instead of plastic hair ties, use ones made of fabric. When putting your hair in a ponytail or any other style, don’t pull it too tight.
13. To dry, use a hair wrap or an old T-shirt
This is a new one. You can use your t-shirt to dry your wet hair without hurting it. Traditional towels are rough on the roots of your hair and can damage it over time. From now on, save your old, soft T-shirts.
Don’ts in hair care
1. Warm showers
Your scalp becomes dry and flaky after a hot shower because it loses its natural oils. You’re best off taking a cold shower.
2. Stress
We’re willing to stake our lives that if you see someone with healthy hair, they might be a little less anxious. Hair loss and unhealthiness are both effects of stress.
3. chemicals
Hair dye, perms, and other hair treatments with chemicals can damage your hair follicles, prevent hair development, and even cause hair loss.
4. Items for Hair Styling
Long-term use of curling irons, blow dryers, and straighteners affects the texture of hair and makes it dry and brittle.
5. Salt water hair washing
Hair cuticle damage, scalp irritation, and tangling are all effects of using salt water on hair. Stay away from pools with chlorine water.
What Takes Place If Your Hair Isn’t Taken Care Of?
Hair may eventually cease growing if you don’t take care of it. You can gradually start noticing dryness, dullness, hair loss, and dandruff.
Ingrown hairs might develop when you don’t wash your hair for a long time. Yes, you read that correctly. They can also appear on the scalp. Additionally, you are attracting more dust if you don’t wash your hair for a long time. Using the incorrect hair care products might cause itching and hair loss.
A Conclusion
You can therefore say goodbye to poor hair days by using chemical-free products designed for your particular hair type, eating healthily, avoiding heat styling, and following all the above advice! The most important thing is to see a doctor if you have severe hair loss and damage despite having a healthy hair care program. And whether you have hair or not, be happy with yourself.
