Do you often catch yourself looking at people with nice hair wondering how they do it? While you might think that people that have nice hair sure are lucky, they follow guidelines that you can use as well. The tips in the next few paragraphs will reveal the secrets of good hair, and how you can take advantage of them.
Always wear a swim cap when you go swimming, as this prevents chlorine from getting into your hair. Chlorine strips your hair of natural oils and encourages dehydration. If you’re not using a swim cap, wash your hair immediately following a swim to rinse out the chlorine.
You should always protect the hair from sun, like you do the skin. Hot weather and wind can harm hair, so it is wise to use a hat or some protective spray in order to keep damage to a minimum. Wearing a hat will also protect your scalp from the sun’s rays. The sun also tends to fade color-treated hair a bit faster too.
Blow Dryer
You should dry your hair with a towel instead of a blow dryer. The heat a blow dryer creates can damage your hair. Be careful with the towel, though. If you rub your hair vigorously, you could damage it, as well.
Treat yourself to some pillow cases of silk or satin. Cotton pillowcases have a habit of snagging your hair, which can damage it. Your hair slides more easily without catching and breaking when you sleep on satin or silk. If you can not do this, you could try using a scrunchie that is made of fabric to tie hair up on your head.
There are now products available that will give your hair the effect of just having bathed in the salty ocean. Look for sprays that are labeled as “salt spray”. If you desire to create your own concoction, you can mix a teaspoon of salt and 8 ounces of water. If desired, you can also add lavender oil (ten drops) for a pleasant scent and moisturizing effect.
Don’t use styling products that have alcohol in them; they can dry out hair. This is not good for your hair’s health, so choose your hair care products wisely. Read labels of all the products you use in your hair.
Prior to styling your hair, put hair care products on about 10 minutes in advance. Regardless of whether you are straightening or curling, allowing your products to set will let your hair fully absorb the benefits.
Blow Dryer
Minimize the use of a blow dryer. The intense heat from an electric dryer can and will cause damage to the hair, both the strands and the roots. When you simply must use your blow dryer, try to use the coolest setting possible, and move the dryer around the head constantly. You can dry your hair faster if you use a towel to dry before blowing it dry.
