HAIR FOCUS: TIPS FOR HEALTHY HAIR

                             TIPS FOR HEALTHY HAIR

Hello peeps i will be telling us some handy healthy hair tips for some of us that are having damaged hair or to avoid damaged hair. You can start by using these healthy tips to have your hair look healthy again. 

1   USING HEALTHY WASHING AND STYLING HABITS

(A)CHANGE YOUR WASHING ROUTINE------- Most people think that washing their hair every time is the best thing to do, trust me it’s not because it can really dry it out. So Don’t wash your hair every day, give your hair break between washing so as to restore its balance. Wash your hair with cold water not hot water because hot water is hard on your hair and can lead to split ends

(B)HANDLE YOUR HAIR GENTLY------ Your hair is fragile and it needs to be treated with care to stay healthy, so after washing, gently pat it dry with a towel instead of wringing it out, let it finish air drying.  Use a wide toothed comb instead of a brush.

(C)USE HEAT STYLING DEVICES SPARINGLY ---- keep away your hair dryer, straightener, curling iron and hot rollers unless you have a special occasion. But if you really have to use a blow dryer sometimes, use it on a cool setting or when you do use heat styling devices; be sure to put a protective serum in your beforehand. But i will strongly advise to avoid them because applying heat to your hair can damage it.

(D)USE HOMEMADE TREATMENT---- Egg yolk and olive oil mask, vinegar and plain yoghurt or sour cream  are very good homemade treatment.

 

(2) USE HEALTHY HAIR CARE PRODUCTS

      (A) SHAMPOOS AND CONDITIONERS----- Avoid shampoos that contain strong cleansers called sulphates that strip the natural oil from your hair and causes to get frizzy and frayed. So choose choose a natural shampoo made with cleansing herbs and oils instead.                                                    Conditioners made with aloe, coconut oil, Shea butter and other pure substances add moisture to your hair. So look out for conditioners that contain the above mentioned.                             Avoid using styling product that contain a lot of chemicals and try to stay away from dyes and other permanent treatment.

(C)OIL TREATMENT-----Giving your hair oil treatment which is massaging your scalp and hair with oils like coconut oil, almond oil, olive oil, etc restores your hair’s softness and shine. For best result massage your root and hair well. Once every few weeks, give yourself a deep conditioning treatment as follows;

---Massage olive oil or almond oil into your hair

---Cover your hair with a shower cap or plastic cap

---Let the oil sit on your hair for 3 hours or preferably over night

---Rinse it out with cool water until the water runs clear, them shampoo and condition afterwards

(3)HEALTHY LIFESTYLE----taking nutrients that nourishes the hair is very very essential. Well balanced diet with plenty of vitamin B, iron, protein and omega3 helps the hair stay thick and healthy as possible.

---Eat beef, chicken, fish, green leaf to get iron and protein.

---walnuts and avocados are excellent sources of omega 3.

---Try some hair supplements too like biotin.

(4)Get your hair trimmed often as soon as the ends begin to split, go to the saloon and get a trim.

I do hope these tips help you, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.
