Daily Hair Care Tips for Healthy, Gorgeous Locks

Healthy hair is a result of consistent daily care. If you just stop taking care of yourself, your hair will suffer, too and this will be visible for a long time. Some little changes in your everyday routine are able to reverse the damage and will help you to maintain healthy, smooth strands.

Drink a lot of water. The hair, like the whole body, needs hydration to be flexible and vibrant.

Take supplements if you think your diet lacks vitamins, minerals, amino acids, etc.

Avoid or better stop the consumption of alcohol, coffee, soft drinks.

Do not smoke.

Use combs and brushes with natural bristles.

Use gentle hair shampoo and quality hair conditioner suitable for your hair type. Massage the scalp gently while shampooing.

Do not wash your hair with hot water, it strips the strands and irritates the scalp. Use lukewarm water and always finish with a cold water rinse. The cold water closes the cuticles of the hair’s shaft increasing its reflectivity and adding luster.

When it’s possible let your hair air dry. When you have to use the hairdryer, do not use the hottest airflow and finish with cold air. Hold the hairdryer above the head directing the airflow from the roots to the ends, like the professional hairdressers do. This way the airflow seals the cuticles to the shaft, adding shine.

Before washing, massage the scalp with natural oils /olive, jojoba, coconut, etc./ and leave for at least 30 minutes.

Massage the neck to increase the blood circulation and to stimulate hair growth.

Trim your hair tips every two months for normal hair and every month if you hair is too thin.

Practice inverted yoga postures, wherein the head points downwards. These exercises are good for blood flow and new hair growth.

When on the beach always protect your hair with quality sunscreens for hair.

At least once weekly pamper your locks with intense hydration – towel dry your shampooed hair and work into the locks your favorite intense conditioner; wrap the hair with a plastic wrap or cap, the heat from the body will help the conditioner to penetrate better into the hair’s shaft; leave it up to 15 minutes; rinse well; as a result you get shiny and silky locks.

For dry frizzy hair, work a few drops of jojoba oil into your locks starting from the ends. The jojoba oil moisturizes, softens and adds shine.

To give a quick shine to a dull mane, apply serum to the hair and smooth down the cuticles using a makeup brush.

One more tip for shiny hair – add one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to the water for the final rinse. It will clarify your strands and will add nice shine.
