Method 1 of 3: Using healthy products for shampooing and styling your hair

1. Change your hair care habits. Do you wash your hair every day? This can really cause your hair to dry out as you get rid of the natural oils your scalp produces through frequent washing. These natural oils ensure that your hair remains shiny and healthy. If you wash your hair every day you can also get oily hair because the oil glands start working harder to produce more oil. Instead of washing often, try the following:
   • Only wash your hair three or four times a week. Give your hair a break in between washes so it can regain its natural balance. While your hair may be a little greasy for about a week, it will soon look healthier and more vibrant than ever before.
   • Wash your hair with cold water. Hot water is not good for your hair and can lead to split ends and frizz. Washing with cold water causes your hair follicles to close, making your hair shiny and bouncy.
2. Treat your hair with care. Treat your hair like you would your most beautiful silk dress. If you've washed the dress by hand, will you gag it and wring it out? No, because that would damage the model and the fibers. Your hair is just as fragile and must be treated with care to stay healthy.
   • After you've washed your hair, gently pat it dry with a towel instead of wringing it out. Let it dry naturally.
   • Use a comb instead of a brush. Passing a brush through tangled hair can cause it to break and split. Use a coarse-toothed comb so that you can gently comb out the tangles.
3. Try to limit heat when styling your hair. So put away your hair dryer, straightener, curlers and hot rollers unless there's a special occasion that you need them for. Because heat can damage your hair, it is best to let your hair dry naturally.
   • If you sometimes want to use the hair dryer, it is best to set it to the lowest setting.
   • If you still want to use heat sources, put a protective serum on your hair in advance.
4. Use homemade treatments such as an egg yolk and olive oil mask, vinegar and yogurt or sour cream. Check websites (WikiHow for example) for instructions.
5. Use egg yolk oil (Eyova): Egg oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and cholesterol and it is like a complete remedy for hair problems such as hair loss, gray hair and frizzy hair.

Method 2 of 3: Use natural remedies and avoid treatments that damage your hair

1. Use natural hair care products. Commercial hair care products promise great results but often contain ingredients that dry out your hair making it limp and dull. You will probably see an immediate difference if you start using natural remedies with herbs and oils and creams that nourish your hair.
   • Most shampoos contain strong cleansers called sulfates. These strip the natural oils from your hair and leave your hair looking frizzy and frayed. Instead, take a shampoo with cleansing herbs and oils. Go to a health food store, natural drug store or look on the internet for the possibilities.
   • Conditioners with aloe vera, coconut oil, shea butter and other pure ingredients moisturize your hair and keep it looking healthy and fresh.
   • Avoid hair products that contain many synthetic substances with names that you cannot even pronounce yet. You can make your own gel and hairspray instead of using commercially available products.
2. Avoid hair dye or other permanent hair treatments. The synthetics in hair dyes, bleaches, straighteners, Brazilian blowout treatments and synthetic curlers can seriously damage your hair if you use them too often.
3. Take a hair mask every now and then. To make your hair soft and shiny again, you can massage oil into your hair a few times a week, especially at the roots and ends of the hair. You can use oil instead of conditioner or put it in if your hair is already dry. Give yourself a hair mask once every few weeks:
   • Massage olive or almond oil into your hair.
   • Cover your hair with a bathing cap or plastic wrap.
   • Leave the oil on for two hours or overnight.
   • Rinse it out with cold water until the water runs clear. Then wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner.
4. Make an aloe vera hair mask. This will make your hair shine; it also improves the health of your hair. Use it twice a week.
   • Remove a leaf from your aloe vera and peel off the peel to reach the transparent gel.
   • Apply the aloe gel to all of your hair.
   • Leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes.
   • Wash it out with normal water.

Method 3 of 3: A healthier lifestyle

1. Eat foods that promote healthy hair. A balanced diet with a lot of protein, B vitamins, iron and omega-3 fatty acids ensures that your hair becomes thick and healthy.
   • Vitamin B ensures that your hair stays thick and strong. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables and nuts to get enough B vitamins.
   • Eat beef, chicken, pork, fish, and leafy greens such as spinach and kale to get iron and protein.
   • Salmon, walnuts and avocado are excellent sources of omega-3 souring that keeps your hair shiny and healthy.
   • You can supplement your diet with vitamins such as biotin (vitamin B8), vitamin B, D or E. These provide beautiful hair, nails and skin.
2. Protect your hair from the elements. Just as you protect your skin from the sun, wind and low temperatures, you should also protect your hair. If you don't, your hair will dry out and it will become brittle after a while.
   • When the sun is shining, wear a hat or scarf over your hair to protect it from sunburn.
   • Do not go outside with wet hair in winter. Freezing hair can make it brittle and frayed.
   • Also protect your hair from synthetics. Make sure your hair does not come into contact with chlorine too often. When you go swimming, wear a swimming cap.
3. Get your hair cut often. As soon as your hair ends split, you should go to the hairdresser and have them trimmed. Keeping track of the split ends will prevent them from splitting further. Your hair will then be less likely to break and look healthy and vibrant.
4. Done, but the best thing to remember is not to be an ass when it comes to healthy, shiny hair.

Tips

• Try to take a hair mask once a week. Wet your hair and put on the hair mask. Don't rinse it out yet. Let it sit for at least 5 to 10 minutes. Then rinse it out with cold water.Hair masks keep your hair very healthy.
• Mix honey and conditioner and spread this over your hair. Wrap your hair in plastic or a towel and leave it on for 30-50 minutes. Then rinse it out.
• Only trim your hair if you see that your ends are split. You can also try to treat the split ends with a hair mask or oil, for example.
• Treat yourself to a visit to the hairdresser. If you get an extra treatment you will see a big change!

Warnings

• There is no shampoo that makes split ends healthy again. The only way to achieve this is to let your hair straighten out.
• Watch out for some pills that stimulate better hair growth or make your hair healthy again. While not all are bad for you, some can be fake and even harmful.
