Wouldn't it be great if every day was a gorgeous hair day? Luckily, your hair can look healthy and shiny in any situation, no matter what type of hair it is. In this article, you will find general tips for healthy hair. Depending on your hair type, follow the tips that are right for you.

Steps

Method 1 of 6: General Hair Care Tips

1. 1 Wash your hair properly. Try not to wash your hair every day. Washing your hair daily will strip your hair of its natural oil. It is important to understand the following: when you use sprays, mousses and gels, these and similar products accumulate in the hair, which interferes with the distribution of natural oils. Rinse off such products as often as necessary. If you do not use styling products, shampooing your hair often is not necessary; rinsing with water is sufficient.
   • Using shampoo (not conditioner!), Massage your scalp. Do this for about 40 seconds before rinsing off the product. If you have oily hair, repeat the procedure again (with shampoo, not conditioner). Massaging the top of your head improves blood circulation and prevents dandruff. Use a sulfate-free, silicone-free shampoo if you have curly or wavy hair to help reduce frizz.
   • Pour the correct amount of conditioner into the palm of your hand and rub it in from the ends of the hair to the roots. If you want your hair to look softer and silky, leave the conditioner on your hair for a few minutes before rinsing it off.
   • Try to wash your hair as much as possible cool water (as long as the temperature is comfortable) or at least rinse them cool water. This thickens the hair cuticles (the outer layer of the hair) and moisturizes the hair well, making it shinier. When hair is too oily or dirty, use warm water. In any case, try to rinse your hair at the end. cool water.
2. 2 Blow dry your hair gently. Blow-drying your hair can be even healthier than letting it dry naturally - it's important to know how to do it right. Blow dry your hair on a low heat and keep it away from the hair to keep it from getting hot. If you hold the hair dryer too close, the water in your hair heats up and can damage your hair. This is why using a hair dryer is considered bad for hair, but if used correctly, it can be very beneficial. If possible, do not blow-dry your hair at high temperatures to avoid damage.
   • Do not towel dry your hair after showering. Wet hair is more fragile, and rubbing with a towel can cause strands to become brittle and brittle.
   • Use a heat protectant spray when blow-drying your hair. You should also use this spray when using a hot curler or curling iron.
3. 3 Do not brush your hair while it is wet. Wet hair is more fragile. Also, don't brush your hair too often. Some people think that brushing your hair 100 times a day will make it smoother - this is fundamentally wrong. Brushing your hair too often can make your hair more brittle, but certainly not smooth.
   • When brushing your hair, try using brushes with natural bristles, such as boar bristles. These brushes distribute oils along the entire length of the hair, making it look softer and shinier.
   • For damp hair, use only a wide-toothed comb. Apply a leave-in conditioner or anti-tangle to your hair for a more manageable finish.
4. 4 Apply special products to your hair from time to time to keep it healthy.
   • Apply a deep moisturizer. For example, you can use egg oil, olive oil, argan oil, coconut oil, or avocado oil.
   • Alternatively, you can purchase a hair mask or cream and apply it.
   • Use a natural remedy such as olive oil, mayonnaise and eggs or whole milk. Leave these products on for 2-3 hours and then wash thoroughly without using shampoo or conditioner. If you see good results, repeat the procedure 1-2 times a week.
   • Use leave-in conditioner at least once a week. This conditioner penetrates deep into the hair cuticles and restores them better.
   • Try using a leave-in conditioner spray or anti-tangle after washing. Conditioner will make your hair more manageable.
5. 5 Don't use too much styling products. If applied directly to the scalp, they can dry out the scalp. Try to use them infrequently, but if necessary, apply the product to the strands of your hair, not to the scalp. Then style your hair, but do it no more than four times a week to avoid damaging it.
6. 6 Decorate your healthy, luxurious hair. Clips or hairpins can decorate beautiful hair. Choose them to match your outfit or your personality. If you use elastic bands, use rubber bands covered with a cloth to keep your hair from breaking or tangling.
7. 7 Eat healthy foods that keep your hair strong and shiny. Among other things, proper nutrition prevents hair loss.
   • Essential fatty acids, especially omega-3s, help to improve the health of skin, hair and nails. Eat omega-3 rich foods every day:
     • salmon, tuna, mackerel and other fatty fish;
     • linseed oil;
     • walnuts, almonds and milk.
   • Vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid are also very important for the health of your hair. You can always take a multivitamin to get more of these nutrients, but you can also add foods rich in these vitamins to your diet.
     • vitamin B6: bananas, potatoes (both white and sweet) and spinach;
     • vitamin B12: meat, poultry, fish and dairy products;
     • folate: citrus fruits, tomatoes, whole grains, beans, and lentils.
   • Protein also contributes to healthy hair. Eat a serving of fish, chicken, eggs, or soy every day.

Method 2 of 6: Treating Straight Hair

1. 1 Use a shampoo and conditioner according to your hair type so that it does not become thinner and weaker. It is advisable to use products that will add volume (especially if your hair is naturally thin). If regular shampoo doesn't work for you, try a sulfate-free, silicone-free shampoo.
2. 2 Comb your hair with a flat brush. This brush will not only style your hair, but also make it shiny and smooth.
3. 3 Use styling products. To keep your hair looking shiny, apply a light volumizing mousse before blow-drying. For long-lasting styling, use a non-stick hairspray.
4. 4 Choose the right heat-laying tools. If you need to straighten your hair with an iron, choose a temperature-adjustable appliance. Use the lowest temperature that will straighten your hair and avoid damage. Do not forget to apply heat protection before heat-laying.
   • Use a thermocomb or curling iron to curl your hair.
5. 5 Avoid daily hair styling. On days when you don't want or need to style your hair, you can use a regular or elegant braid. Hot tongs can sometimes be used, but in most cases it is best to leave your hair naturally straight.

Method 3 of 6: Tips for Curly and / or Wavy Hair

1. 1 Use a shampoo and conditioner specially formulated for curly hair. Make sure your shampoo is free of sulfates and silicone, as sulfate can dry out frizzy hair even further and silicone may remain on the hair. You can even use silicone shampoo if it also contains cocoamidopropyl betaine or cocobetaine and if the shampoo does not contain pure silicone.
2. 2 Wash your hair only as needed to maintain its natural lubrication.
   • Massage the shampoo onto the scalp and the lather will take care of the hair.
   • Apply conditioner to the middle of your curls and rub in to the ends. If necessary, then comb the hair with a wide-toothed comb. Run your hand through your hair to separate the curls.
   • Rinse your hair warm or cool waterto prevent drying out.
3. 3 Blot hair to dry. Use a 100% cotton T-shirt, microfiber towel, or even paper towels. Only blot wet hair, do not towel dry.
4. 4 Apply a deep moisturizer weekly. Also, apply a hot oil monthly to add shine to your curls.
5. 5 Try not to brush your hair. The brush breaks the cuticles and makes the hair frizzy. Use your fingers and a wide-toothed comb to remove tangles.
6. 6 Apply a leave-in conditioner to your hair before styling. Style your hair while it is damp and try not to touch it while air-drying.
7. 7 Avoid any styling products that contain alcohol. A spray containing sea salt is great for separating strands, but make sure it also contains moisturizing ingredients as sea salt can dry out your hair.
8. 8 Try not to go to bed with wet hair. If you really have to do this, then braid three or more braids. Also, sleep on a satin or silk pillowcase or scarf to keep your hair frizzy as little as possible.

Method 4 of 6: Perms and Straighteners

1. 1 Do a perm or straighten no more than once every 6 weeks. They harm hair by changing their chemical bonds. For this reason, after a perm or straightening, the hair becomes brittle and vulnerable to any attack.
2. 2 Minimize blow-drying and heat-laying. Also, try not to dye your hair if it has been chemically treated in one form or another. The dyeing process can increase the risk of damage after perm or straightening.
3. 3 Avoid perming or straightening if your scalp is irritated. If the scalp is irritated or there are any abrasions on it, it is absolutely impossible to expose them to chemical action. Hair also should not be curled or straightened chemically if you have just removed your hair extensions. Wait a while until the scalp is completely healed.
4. 4 Be careful with paint. Dyeing hair after chemical exposure is acceptable, but undesirable. Try using fake curls instead of dyeing. If you need to color your hair, wait at least 3, but not more than 7 days before going to the hairdresser, or consult with your stylist about which method will be most effective in your case and will not harm your hair.

Method 5 of 6: Coloring your hair

1. 1 Dye your hair at home. This can be easily done if you are painting over gray hair and if the dyed hair is very slightly different from your natural color. Anything more complicated is best done in the salon.
   • Rub the petroleum jelly into the skin along the hairline to prevent staining of the skin.
   • Set a timer according to the instructions on the paint package. Wash off the paint as soon as time runs out.
2. 2 Dye your hair at the salon. If you are going to go to a professional, buy a store hair dye. These dyes often contain harsh chemicals that damage the hair.
   • Moisturize your hair deeply for several days before coloring. This will help the color stay on your hair longer. Also, if possible, do not wash your hair on the day of dyeing.
   • Take a photo... You can tell the hairdresser “wheat blond,” but his vision of that color may be different from yours. The photo will clarify everything.
3. 3 Take good care of colored hair.
   • Moisturize and revitalize your hair. Dry hair quickly loses color.
   • Protect your hair when in the sun. Wear a hat or scarf, or tie your hair into a braid or bun. You can also use SPF hair products.

Method 6 of 6: Gorgeous Hair for Men

1. 1 Use any shampoo. For most men's hairstyles, it doesn't matter which shampoo to use. If you have dandruff, look for a shampoo that contains ketoconazole, salicylic acid, tar, zinc, or selenium sulfide.
2. 2 You may or may not moisturize your hair. If you have straight, short hair, you can choose not to conditioner or use a conditioner shampoo. On the other hand, curly, curly or long hair requires moisture. Experiment with different brands and find what you like.
3. 3 Protect your scalp from sun damage. If there are areas where hair does not grow as thickly, rub in sunscreen or use sunscreen spray to prevent scalp scalp in these areas from burning and flaking.
4. 4 Take care of your falling hair. Use commercially available hair stimulants or ask your trichologist for advice.
5. 5 Do not overuse styling products. Use only a pea of ​​gel, no more. Once your hair is tidy, you can apply a small amount of wax to the ends for shine.
