Tips for healthy hair.
I often get a lot of compliments and questions about my hair. So I decided to share with you some tips that help me to maintain my hair healthy and strong. To be honest, my hair is naturally thick (thanks to my mommy!) but I do a lot of things to take care of it. Curly hair is not easy to manage. I remember when I was a kid, brushing my hair was a torture for me. It took me many years to figure out how to take care of my hair. I experimented and found a perfect solution. I used to hate my hair but now I love it and I actually think that it's one of my best features. And I want you to learn to embrace your hair too!
1. Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water each day. Water is essential for hair growth. If you drink enough water, you will notice that your hair is more moisturized and shiny. So drink your water!
2. Eat healthy. Protein forms an important constituent of hair. Eat protein rich foods like eggs, milk (and all dairy products), beans, fish, grains, nuts and seeds.
3. Don't over wash your hair. I know some people who wash their hair every day. But you don't really need that. Unless you have very oily hair.Washing your hair every day will cause a real damage to your hair. It can dry out your hair and cause breakage. The natural oils that your scalp produces coat your hair strands and nourish them. So try to avoid washing your hair every day. I know we all want to look pretty and clean every day but trust me, people won't see a difference if you start washing it every other day. I personally wash it twice a week.
4. Wash your hair with warm water. And gently massage your scalp. It will increase the blood circulation that your hair follicles receive.
5. Avoid brushing your hair when it's wet. Your hair is weaker when it's wet, so brushing it will cause damage. I always brush my hair before I wash it.
6. Trim your hair at least once every three months to keep it healthy and strong. Cut off your split ends. There's no way to remove split ends aside from cutting your hair.
7. Use hair conditioners, leave-in conditioners and hair masks. Use a hair mask once a week. In a different post, I'll give you some good homemade hair mask recipes.
8. Avoid using heat on your hair. Heat tools will weaken your hair and lead to hair loss. This includes a curling iron, a flat iron and a blow dryer. Let your hair air dry. It will look healthier and shinier. Don't follow the trends. Just because straight hair is "in", doesn't mean that you should have straight hair. Curly hair is beautiful! I made this mistake and I used to straighten my hair at least twice a week. I thought I looked better with straight hair. In the country where I live, curly hair is not very common, so I tried to "fit in". Now I realize that being different is great. We need to learn to embrace ourselves and everything about ourselves. God made each one of us unique and beautiful!
Well, I hope these tips were helpful! If you have any questions, leave them in the comment box below.
