How to get healthy hair?
To maintain healthy hair, follow these tips:
- Adjust your shampoo frequency: Depending on your scalp's oil production, wash oily hair more often (up to once a day), but don't go beyond that, as over-shampooing strips hair of essential oils.
- Concentrate shampoo on the scalp and hair roots, avoiding the scalp itself, which can reduce flyaway hair and help distribute oils.
- Apply conditioner primarily to the tips of your hair, and use a "2-in-1" shampoo and conditioner if you have color-treated or damaged hair.
- Choose shampoo and conditioner formulated for your hair type, considering specialized options for color-treated or chemically treated hair.
- Protect your hair from chlorine while swimming: Apply moisturizing products before swimming, wear a tight-fitting swim cap, and use specially formulated swimmers shampoo and deep conditioner after swimming.
- Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet rich in protein, essential fatty acids, and B-vitamins to promote hair health and production.
- Drink plenty of water to keep hair hydrated and skin healthy.
- Avoid shampooing too often or using harsh products to prevent hair damage and scalp irritation.
- Rather than washing daily, wash your hair 2-3 times per week, depending on your hair type.
- Gently squeeze, not rub, wet hair with a towel, and avoid brushing hair when it's wet.
- Comb hair to detangle before showering; daily hair brushing is unnecessary if hair is in good condition.
- Consider protecting the scalp from UV rays or dry air with hats, sunscreen, or a humidifier.
- Regularly trim split ends and replenish damaged or brittle hair.
- Choose silk or smooth fabric pillowcases to prevent hair breakage and tangles during sleep.
- Use a moisturizing shampoo for dry scalps, select the right shampoo for your hair type, and use leave-in conditioner judiciously, focusing on the edges and ends of your hair.
By following these tips, you can maintain healthy, vibrant hair.
