Tips for a Healthier Lock of Hair

In this article, we will tell you some Tips for a Healthier Lock of Hair. Hair Maintenance can be relatively easy if a few simple steps are taken. Hair is primarily made up of protein, so a well-rounded healthy diet coupled with good personal hygiene is essential in maintaining long and healthy hair.

Follow These Simple Steps on Your Way to an Enviable Lock:-

Wash your hair in moderation and be sure to use a good-quality shampoo. Washing your hair too frequently can dry your hair out, leaving them devoid of natural oils. You should typically wash them every other day or better still twice a week depending on the weather conditions and pollution levels.

Shampoo

Your shampoo should not contain either sulphates or parabens. These chemicals aren’t good for your hair or the environment, so try herbal shampoos that do not contain any of these chemicals.

Condition

Use a conditioner best suited for your hair type. Hair should be conditioned after every wash, but if required you can condition in between your shampooing cycle as well.

Deep condition at least once a week. Use a store-bought hair care product, or try a homemade product. Deep conditioning can work wonders for your hair. It keeps hair supple, vigorous, and moisturized.

A Word of Caution

• Do not use hair care products with too much protein in them. Although it might seem like a good idea as proteins are the building blocks of hair, products with too much protein in them can lead to hair that is desiccated and brittle.
• Frizz-control serums are ok, but be sure not to use them too much. If you use frizz-control serum make sure to shampoo it away so as not to have a build-up.
• Blow dryers, curlers, and straighteners should be avoided as hair is easily damaged by heat. If you must blow the dryer at the lowest possible temperature setting.
• Brushing your hair too often can lead to split ends and frizz so avoid brushing too often. Use wide toothed comb or your hands if possible.
• Naturally styled hair is healthier and stays healthy. Self-Styled your hair to avoid damage, repeated styling trips to the salon can damage your hair.
