People often express interest in knowing what exactly they need to do, in order to end up with healthy, nice-looking hair. This is understandable, because the hair is one of the most conspicuous parts of a person’s body. It is one of the first things that a person subconsciously focuses on, whenever they look at you. And based on the state of your hair, lots of inferences may be made about you.
So, indeed, what does one need to do, in order to get healthy, nice-looking hair? Here are the top 10 hair care tips:
Top 10 Tips How to Care OF Hair
1. Select a hair style that suits your hair type well
There are countless hair styling options. So you firstly need to have some basic awareness of the various hair styling options that are available to you. Then select the one that best suits your hair type (and lifestyle) properly. The latter step has two aspects: that of knowing your hair type, and that of picking the hair styles that best suit that hair type.
There are cases where consulting a hair grooming professional may make sense, while selecting the best styling options for your hair. This can be a one-time informal consultation, in the course of other routine hair care work…
Then again, don’t necessarily be one of those people who select just one hair styling option, and stick with it forever! There is no harm in using a variety of hair styles, as long as all the styles you use match well with your hair type (and your lifestyle).
Ultimately, remember that in the modern context, proper styling is a very critical part of good hair care. But also remember that using a style that is not well suited to your hair type can leave you looking very awkward.
2. Make a habit of conditioning your hair regularly
To put it simply, hair that is regularly conditioned tends to look healthier, neater and generally more attractive. Therefore hair conditioning really makes a difference. It is worth the effort. All you need is a decent hair conditioning product, and some time to actually condition the hair.
At Shlazio, we have a wide range of hair condition products to help you in this regard. Those include the Keratin Conditioner, the Rosemary Conditioner, the Onion Conditioner and the Argan Conditioner, among others.
3. Be washing your hair in the right manner
The first key thing to focus on here is ensuring that you wash the hair at the right frequency (not too often or too infrequently). Younger folks whose scalps are ever producing sebum may need as much as daily hair washing.
Also ensure that you only wash the hair with water of the right temperature, and using the right hair washing products.
Take time in selecting the best hair care product for washing your hair. Just as the search for, say, the best face wash for pimples and marks requires effort, so does the search for a hair washing product to be using on a day to day basis. Don’t take it lightly.
Look keenly at the ingredients in whatever products you ultimately settle for.
And when you get to it, be washing not just the tips of the hairs, but also their shafts right up to the scalp. Otherwise without proper regular washing, there may be accumulation of debris around the hairs, which can cause many problems.
4. Minimize your hair’s direct exposure to heat
Too much heat is known to cause lots of harm to hair. This is why devices like thermal protectors and adaptors are necessary while using blow driers.
Furthermore, hair care operations that entail the use of heat should only be once in a while: not too often.
5. Avoid harsh hair care products
In practical terms, you first need to know which hair care product ingredients are known to be harsh. Then you need to be looking at the ingredients lists in all hair care products you consider buying keenly. If you find hair care products with the ingredients that are known to be harsh, simply avoid them. If you absolutely have to use them, then only apply them sparingly.
All this is similar to how folks who are trying to remove pimples marks on their faces are usually advised to avoid harsh skin care products. Likewise, when it comes to hair care, avoid products that contain harsh ingredients – regardless of the efficacy they promise.
6. Massage your scalp regularly
It has been observed that people who take the trouble to massage their scalps regularly often end up with healthier, better-looking hair. It doesn’t take much time or effort to regularly massage your scalp. But it can make a huge difference to your hair health and appearance.
7. Eat the right stuff
It is impossible to have nice-looking healthy hair if you are chronically malnourished. Indeed, one of the key signs of malnutrition is hair deterioration.
Remember, the stuff that makes our hair comes from the food we eat. And note that malnourishment in question here is not just about not eating enough food. You may be eating a lot of food, but still miss out on certain nutrients – depending on what you are actually eating. Thus to have great hair, you need to be eating a balanced diet. More specifically, ensure that you get all the necessary proteins.
8. Avoid brushing your hair roughly
When you brush your hair too roughly, you tend to break it. Rough hair brushing may also affect the scalp, which is the foundation for hair strands. Some experts actually discourage hair brushing completely, favoring combing over brushing.
9. Consider trimming split hair ends regularly
If you don’t trim split hair ends, the splits tend to go further down – towards the shafts of the hairs. Ultimately, this can lead to noticeable hair loss. The way to avoid it is by having a routine for trimming the split hair ends regularly.
10. Minimize your hair’s exposure to chlorinated water
It has been observed that chlorinated water has a tendency to cause the hair to become dry and brittle. This happens when the chlorine in the water removes essential oils from the hair, leading to dryness and brittleness. If you take to exposing your hair to chlorinated water too often, the adverse effect can be noticeable. The way to avoid this is, for instance, by wearing swimming caps if you have to swim in pools that contain chlorinated water.
