It doesn't get any easier than this for maintaining beautiful and healthy hair! These one-of-a-kind hair care tips will win you over, and your hair care routine will never be the same again.
When there is a time lag between salon visits, you may need to up the ante for at-home hair care. Using a treatment or mask can help repair dry or stressed hair. And, if you're not going out as much right now, take advantage of the opportunity to get away from the heat of styling tools. A silk pillowcase or sleep cap can help reduce friction between your hair and your bedding. This will help to protect those silky strands you've worked so hard to achieve. So, the next time you set aside an evening for self-care, focus on your hair – or, why not treat yourself to a whole weekend of at-home pampering.
Your diet is the first step in hair care, and the two most important things in your diet are iron and protein. Hair cells are the fastest growing cells in the body, but they are also the first to suffer when you don't eat right or suffer from deficiencies because they aren't necessary for survival. Iron-rich foods to include in your diet include leafy vegetables, fish, pumpkin seeds, beans, chickpeas, soybeans, and cereals.
Doctors recommend that you consume 12 mg of iron per day. Protein is also required because it is what strengthens your hair. Complete proteins that are also high in amino acids, such as cheese, milk, soy, lentils, peas, quinoa, and yogurt, should be included.
Basic Tips on how to Maintain a Beautiful and Healthy Hair:
- Trim your hair every few weeks to get rid of split ends that are brown and rough. Every 6 to 8 weeks, cut about 1/4 inch of your hair to prevent split ends from growing back.
- Use extreme caution when combing wet hair because it is fragile and prone to breakage. Take a broad toothed comb and gently run it through your hair from the roots to the ends.
- It's normal to lose 100 to 150 strands of hair per day, so don't be alarmed if you see a small clump crawling across your tiled floor.
- Avoid washing your hair every day, and when you do, apply conditioner to the ends. Try to use the same shampoo and conditioner.
- In contrast to the labels on the back of our food, the labels on the back of our shampoos are mostly ignored. Sulfate in shampoos has received a lot of attention in recent years. What exactly are sulfates? They're the reason your shampoo lathers so well. They cleanse your scalp and hair, removing dirt. However, some researchers believe that they strip your hair of essential oils. They're also responsible for the stinging sensation in your eye when shampoo runs down the side of your face. If you experience scalp irritation or find your hair drying out over time, look for a sulfate-free shampoo.
- Rinse with cold water to remove the conditioner, which is beneficial to both strength and shine.
- Avoid coloring your hair if you have dry hair. However, if you can't get enough of that gorgeous shade of brown, especially in the winter sun, then take this wise advice from the blog Free People. Lemon, chamomile tea, and honey are excellent hair lighteners. When you're getting ready to go out, mix some lemon juice into some water and spray it through your hair. After washing your hair with shampoo, rinse it with brewed chamomile tea, or add honey to the water you use to wash your hair.
