1 Reduce the frequency with which you are accustomed to hot styling. Remember that using hair styling tools such as curling irons, hot curlers, and hair dryers will strip your hair of moisture.
  • 2 Direct sunlight can also do a lot of damage to your hair. That is why, when in the sun, try to wear a hat or protect your hair with an umbrella. Use one of these methods if you plan to be in the sun for more than half an hour.
  • 3 Use warm or cool water to wash your hair. The point is, hot water strips your hair of its natural oils and makes it dry. As for the cool water, it helps to retain moisture in the hair and gives the hair a natural shine.
  • 4 Divide your hair into two so that there is an equal amount of hair on both sides. Comb the hair thoroughly, making sure there are no tangles left.
  • 5 Add 4 to 6 drops of lavender, sandalwood, and laurel oils to 6 ounces (170 g) of warm soybean or linseed oil. Then mix everything thoroughly to combine all the oils into one whole.
  • 6 Apply the heated mixture to the ends of the hair and partly to the hair shafts. It is not recommended to apply the mixture to the hair roots.
  • 7 Wrap your head in a warm towel and leave it on for 15-20 minutes. The heat penetrates the hair follicle and helps to increase the much-needed moisture levels, thus helping to moisturize your hair.
  • 8 Rinse your hair twice with shampoo. You don't need to apply conditioner after you wash off the oils. Try to pamper your hair with this beneficial mixture once a month.
  • 9 Try to include foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids in your diet at least 3-5 times a week. The main food sources of omega-3 fatty acids are as follows: sardines, salmon, soybeans, shrimp, and walnuts.
  • 10 Cook food in canola oil. Use flaxseed oil for homemade sauces packed with vitamins and nutrients. Both canola and flaxseed oils contain high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which help to strengthen hair follicles and therefore make hair bouncy and vibrant.
  • 11 Take Omega-3 supplements daily to provide your body with the nutrients needed not only for your hair, but for your entire body.
  • Tips

    • Drink plenty of water throughout the day to maintain moisture levels in your hair and body.
    • People with straight hair usually have shinier hair than curls. This is because sebum, called sebum, saturates straight hair better than curly hair.

    Warnings

    • Before applying the oil mixture to your hair, make sure it is not too hot. Never apply the boiled mixture to your hair or any other part of your body. If you happen to overheat your treatment mixture, just let it cool for a few minutes before applying.
