Proper hair care routine just needs to be simple and effective. The first thing to do is to equip yourself with some suitable tools and information about hair products. No matter the shape and texture of your hair, you can apply the habit quickly and get sexy hair.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Getting Started with the Basics

  1. Choose the right shampoo and conditioner. Not all product types are the same. You need to choose the right one for your hairstyle to promote good results. If possible, choose a non-syrup-free shampoo and a conditioner without syrup; These two ingredients make hair dry and ugly. Check marks. Here's a quick guide to some of the products available for each hair type:
    • For dry hair prone to frizz, choose a moisturizer or hydration product that includes oils, butter, and other hair conditioner.
    • For oily or thin hair, products that contain ingredients such as tea tree oil and chamomile are most suitable.
    • For brittle and fibrous hair, choose a protein-based recovery product like collagen and keratin.

  2. Wash your hair two to three times a week. You may think that washing your hair every day is fine, but the frequency is too much. Shampooing too often removes the natural protective oils secreted by the scalp, making it frizzy and frizzy. For men, washing hair two to three times a week is sufficient.
    • If your hair is quickly and greasy, you can wash it with water only on days without shampoo. Water cleans the hair but does not wash away the natural protective oils.
    • The first time you cut down on shampooing, your hair will continue to produce oily oils for a week or more until it balances itself. Just be patient and your hair will stay clean for longer.

  3. Wash your hair with warm or cool water instead of hot water. You can wash it with hot water, but the heat of the water dries out your hair. So only use warm or cool water to wash your hair. If you must use hot water, you can rinse your hair a last time with warm or cool water to keep your hair strong and shiny, free from frizz and roughness.

  4. Pat your hair dry instead of rubbing it with a towel. Wet hair is usually very weak, as water softens the keratin molecules in the hair. So when rubbed hard, it can easily break hair. Instead, use a towel to dry your hair and absorb water, then let it dry naturally. advertisement

Part 2 of 3: Hair Style

  1. Use gel or wax in the right amount. If you like neat hairstyles, you can use styling gel or wax while your hair is wet to keep it shiny all day long. Only use a small amount if your hair is short, otherwise your hair will look like it's oily and looks very ugly.
    • The gel is generally lighter and easier to style. Choose an alcohol-free product, as this can dry out your hair.
    • Styling waxes and creams are great for perms because they are thicker. Also, it is difficult to wash off, so you should use it sparingly.
  2. Comb your hair after using styling products. After applying the product, use a brush to disperse evenly in your hair. Then brush one side neatly and style as desired. It is best to brush in the direction of hair growth: comb the hair on the back of the neck and the sides downward, the hair on the top of the head combing out first. If your front hair is long, you can flip it to the opposite side.
    • If you have frizzy or frizzy hair, use a thin brush to untangle it - or not brush your hair. Using a tight tooth comb will make your hair more messy.
    • You don't have to brush your hair all the time. Try different styles; ruffled the hair on the top instead of parting, or combed it upright.
  3. Limit hair drying. You can use a dryer to dry your hair faster, but using it regularly will damage it. If you are concerned about thinning hair, don't use the blow dryer and let it dry naturally.
    • When drying your hair, you should aim the hair dryer in the direction that it grows so that it is evenly straight.
    • Or if you want more fluffy hair, you can direct the dryer in the opposite direction.
  4. Maintain a long hairstyle. If your hair is 2 to 5cm long, you need to take a few extra steps to keep it healthy and neat.
    • Use a warming cream if your hair feels dry. You need to buy a hair treatment and use it once a week for smoother hair.
    • Use a thin comb instead of a hair brush. Brushes that make long hair fall out; you should instead use a thin comb for troubleshooting.
    • Use a hair conditioner. Apply a small amount of oil to damp hair as the conditioner dry. Using the appropriate amount will promote effects effectively.
  5. Cut your hair regularly. Good care habits still don't make a difference if your hair is messy. Men usually get a haircut once a month, while others only need a haircut every three months. Use self-appropriate habits and keep it going. advertisement

Part 3 of 3: Thinning Hair Care

  1. Massage the scalp while washing. This step helps increase blood circulation, stimulating hair to grow faster. Also works to take care of existing hair and help hair grow longer. Use your fingers to gently scrub the scalp in a circular motion, focusing on the area of ​​thinning hair.
    • Certain oils have a hair growth stimulant effect. Try massaging with coconut oil, tea tree oil, or almond oil before shampooing, then rinsing with water.
  2. Do not exert strong impact on hair. The strands are more prone to breakage if you rub it with shampoo, rinse it with hot water and then scrub it with a towel to dry it. You need to be gentle with your hair in each care step.
  3. Follow a balanced diet. There are a number of nutrients that are needed today for thicker and stronger hair. You should eat properly to nourish your hair from the inside. You should only use hair products if your diet isn't good for your hair. Here are some essential foods:
    • Protein. Eat meat, eggs, nuts, beans, and other sources of protein to keep hair healthy.
    • Vitamin B. It is found in meat, eggs and leafy green vegetables. If you are a vegetarian, take a B vitamin supplement.
    • Omega 3 Fatty Acids. Salmon, sardines, avocados, and walnuts contain this important nutrient.

Advice

  • Massage your scalp with your fingertips or finger pads, not using your fingernails to scratch your scalp.
  • If you have short and short hair, then there is no need to use styling products, as the oils secreted by the scalp are enough to nourish the hair, as well as the short hair itself.
  • Regularly trim your hair at a reputable salon.
  • Don't buy cheap styling products. They just make your hair drier or greasy. Choose good quality gels, waxes, lollipops, and whatever works for your hairstyle. These models can be a bit more expensive, but only a small amount is needed for each use.
  • Do not brush your hair while it is still wet, right after bathing. As mentioned above, wet hair is more prone to breakage and combs often add to tangles. You need to pat dry your hair first, then brush gently when it is dry, and don't brush against your scalp.
