Healthy Hair is something that we all long for, yet it can be rather elusive. Instead of shining tresses full of life, we end up with limp locks. Our hair is such a significant part of our appearance that when we´re not happy with it, we feel dispirited. So what can you do to turn your hellish hair into your crowning glory? Try these top tips for healthy hair.
1. Heat: Heat is the enemy of happy hair.If you use a hairdryer and straighteners every day, your hair will soon end up dry, brittle and prone to breakages. So wherever possible, let your hair dry naturally, and use heated rollers or straighteners a couple of times a week at most.
2.Hairbrush: Do not use a hairbrush until your hair is dry; the wet hair can be easily damaged. Avoid plastic hairbrushes; hair will probably end up in knots.
3. Massage: Gentle massage will help stimulate the hair follicles (as well as being rather pleasant and relaxing). Besides, we are constantly growing new hairs to replace the old ones, so massage will help produce healthy new hairs.
4. Brush: Also brush your hair before washing it; this not only removes the loose hairs (and stops them blocking the sink), but also gets rid of some of the dirt. Also remember: never brush your hair when it´s wet, but use a wide-toothed comb.
5. Diet: Firstly, eat a good diet. Secondly, don´t follow faddish or crash diets, as your hair won´t get the nutrients it requires. Lots of fresh fruit and vegetables provide the vitamins, and eat enough protein.
6. Protection from Sunlight: Most people don´t even consider that their hair needs protecting from the sun, just like their skin. If the sun is very strong, however, it can dry out your hair. So when you´re on holiday, or if you live in a hot climate, wear a hat or use a sun protection spray so that you have healthy hair.
