Steps to follow to keep your hair healthy

If your hair is important to you, then you are probably constantly looking for methods and tips to keep your hair looking its best. Hairstyles come and go, but most people never lose interest in their hair. So while you’re trying to find the right hair style for you, here are some tips to keep your hair looking healthy.

Do not brush soaked hair

When your hair is wet, it is more susceptible to damage. Brushing your hair when it’s wet can cause it to break and tear more than brushing it when it’s dry. Many people are unaware of this fact, so they brush their wet hair and don’t even know that they are ripping and breaking their otherwise healthy locks. If possible, try to brush your hair only when it’s dry, or at least slightly damp.

Dry your hair when it is wet

Actually, hair is best to style when it’s damp, so if you blow-dry your hair, do it when it’s slightly damp. Soaking wet hair is a big no no for blow drying. Not only does it take a lot of unnecessary time to blow-dry soaked hair, but it can also damage your hair from brush strokes to soaked hair. So, gently towel dry your hair to remove most of the moisture, and then wait for a while for it to get wet. You may also want to apply a protecting serum to your hair to help remove water from your hair and also protect your hair from the heat of the blow dryer.

Ultraviolet Hair Serums and Thermal Protection

If you’re out in the sun a lot, you’ll no doubt want to protect your skin from harmful ultraviolet rays. Well, if this is the case, then you will also do well to protect your hair from the sun. Some leave-in conditioners and detanglers have a kind of sunscreen that will protect your hair from damage caused by the heat and rays of the sun.

Also, if you use hair tools like flat irons and blow dryers to style your hair, you’ll do well to use a leave-in conditioner with heating properties. The heat can help style your hair and shape it the way you’d like. However, heat can also do a lot of damage to your hair. Reduce the risk of damage with thermal leave-in conditioners.

So here are some tips to add to your treasure chest of hair care hacks. Be good to your hair and it will serve as a nice and attractive physical attribute.
