Most people agree that one’s hair plays a major role in the way we look and feel. We all want luxurious and healthy hair, but sometimes we just gain the flat and dull look. The advice you have found here will help you to have the shiny hair you’ve always dreamed about.
If you enjoy wearing your hair in one ponytail, don’t put the ponytail in one spot every time. Your hair can break because of this. Wear your down while you sleep, or anytime you don’t need to wear a ponytail, to help avoid damage from hair accessories.
Don’t use heavy conditioners if you have thin or fine hair. These can make hair appear heavy and less dense. To add volume without a greasy look, use mousse conditioners or leave-in conditioners.
Is your hair looking a little dull and dry? If so, then try this at-home conditioning treatment on your locks. After you wash your hair and get rid of a bit of its wetness, use your conditioner and put a shower cap on for a couple of minutes. The heat generated will allow the conditioner to deeply penetrate your hair follicles.
Avoid rubbing or otherwise pulling at your hair when you use a towel to dry it. This can stretch out your strands and cause them to frizz and break. Instead of this, you should gently squeeze, blot or pat any additional moisture off your hair, or you could loosely wrap it into a towel. It’s also best not to brush or comb your hair while it’s still wet, unless the comb you use is wide-toothed.
Get your hair wet before you go swimming in a swimming pool. Also, if you don’t use a swim cap, try to wash your hair (and condition it) right after you leave the pool so you can avoid damage.
Make texture a part of your hairstyle. Properly-textured hair can be styled in less time than untextured hair. You can achieve this by getting a perm or choosing a certain style. A good cut that includes texture can greatly increase the volume of your hair and open up new styling possibilities to you.
When you exit the shower, don’t dry hair with a towel roughly. Towel drying can cause your hair to break. Instead, lightly squeeze the extra moisture out of your hair. Once you have removed most of the water you can then gently pat it down with the towel. This is best done with a soft towel, not a rough one.
Always blot your hair dry with towels prior to turning on your hair dryer. Using heat to dry your hair is unnatural and causes your hair damage over time. The heat strips the hair’s natural oils away and your hair needs this moisture to stay healhty and look shiny. You won’t have to apply as much heat by blow drying if you dry your hair with a towel.
Gorgeous hair is not beyond you, it can become your reality. By including these techniques, you will be well on your way to healthy hair. Your dream head of hair is within your each if you take a little time and give your hair the care it deserves.
