When you’ve got a job, a home and a hundred other things to manage, taking care of something as simple as your hair can also get really tiring. You don’t have time to oil your hair, you violently brush through it in the mornings and on weekends, if you’re staying in, and chances are that your hair will probably get zero attention. Keeping all of this in mind, we decided to give you a few simple tips to make sure your hair stays healthy and beautiful.
Brush your hair regularly before going to bed each night.
Avoid brushing wet hair. This will cause the hair to stretch and finally break. Finger-dry, or use a wide-toothed comb instead of a brush to gently remove the knots.
Restrict blow-drying your hair. The process of blow-drying is harsh on hair as it robs it of moisture.
After a perm, never brush your hair. Instead comb hair gently.
Trim your hair once in 7 weeks to avoid split ends.
Never use a rubber band on your hair as it can pull and damage hair considerably.
Never go out in the sun without having your head covered.
Stimulate circulation by massaging your head with oil to which some vitamin E has been added.
This will make hair soft and silky. Massage the scalp with finger tips in a circular motion for at least half an hour. Leave on the oil over-night and shampoo the following morning. This prevents hair from becoming dry and prevents dandruff and hair fall by improving circulation and strengthening hair roots.
Learn to relax. Hair loss can happen because of stress.
