Does your hair only look good at the salon? Please refer to the hair care tips that Signal Hair shares below to own beautiful hair anytime, anywhere!
1 Regularly trim your hair
If you feel like your hair is not healthy and neat, has it been a while since you got a haircut? Normally, every 6 – 8 weeks you should get a haircut to remove split ends, damaged hair due to chemicals, temperature, pollution,…
Cutting your hair does not make your hair grow faster because hair growth occurs at the roots. But regular hair trimming makes hair stronger, reduces breakage, loss and split ends.
2 Do not wash your hair with hot water
Many people will choose to wash their hair with hot water because it helps relax. But your hair doesn’t feel the same way. Hot water strips the natural oils from the scalp, making it dry and more prone to dandruff.
If your hair is dyed, hot water will make your hair color fade faster.
You should only wash your hair with warm water about 40 – 45 degrees Celsius. Cold water will be suitable for dry hair with dandruff. Besides, washing your hair with cold water also helps improve emotions and is good for memory.
3 A nutritious diet for hair
Hair also needs to be fully provided with necessary nutrients such as iron, omega-3, vitamin A and vitamin C to maintain hair growth and help keep hair strong.
These nutrients can be supplemented from the daily diet through foods such as salmon, dark green vegetables, eggs, nuts,…
4 Drink enough water
Internal and external hydration is key to having hydrated and healthy hair. In addition to using hair care products and hair conditioners, adding enough water to the body is also a way to “hydrate” hair to avoid dryness and breakage.
Make sure you drink at least 1.5 – 2 liters of water every day. Especially in winter, hair will need more water to withstand the weather.
5 Limit styling with heat and chemicals
The chemicals used in the perming and dyeing process will disrupt hair growth, change hair follicles, and make hair prone to breakage.
Heat styling from curling irons, dryers, and irons will also change the structure of the hair. Although at low temperatures, the hair is not completely changed and can recover. But if you use it too much, it will still cause your hair to become dry and split ends.
6 Don’t wash your hair often
There is no general rule mentioned about how often to wash your hair. Depending on the ability to secrete oil from each person’s oily skin, the frequency of shampooing can be flexibly changed to suit each person and each time.
- If you have dry hair, limit shampooing to less than 2 times a week to retain your hair’s natural moisture.
- If your scalp secretes a lot of oil, making your hair greasy quickly, you can wash it more, about 3-4 times a week, but don’t wash it too much
7 Choose chemical-free shampoo
Shampoo is the thing that comes into direct contact with your hair most often. On the market there are countless shampoo brands with many lines that have specific uses for different hair types: preserving dyed hair color, treating dandruff,…
Choose a gentle shampoo that minimizes or even does not contain chemical ingredients such as shampoos derived from natural extracts (medicines, herbs). You will see the obvious effectiveness of these shampoos if you have dry, frizzy hair.
8 Let hair dry naturally
Your scalp and hair really won’t like the fact that you use the dryer so often. Using a hair dryer at high temperatures will make your hair bouncy but easily tangled, broken, and lose its natural shine.
Dry your hair with towels that have good absorbency, absorb slowly, don’t rub vigorously with the towel!
9 Use a wide tooth comb
Using a wide-tooth comb to comb your hair will gently remove tangled hair, reducing the amount of hair being pulled out while still keeping your hair smooth. Especially when hair is wet, hair is more susceptible to damage and breakage.
If you have thick and tangled hair, you should gently brush your hair from the ends gradually to the roots. Try not to use the comb to pull your hair too hard when detangling.
10 Sun protection for hair
UV rays from the sun have the ability to destroy both our skin and hair. Don’t forget that when you leave the house, your hair needs to be protected from the sun just like your skin. You can try some sun protection methods for your hair such as:
Wear hats: This physical sun protection method is very economical and effective for both skin and hair. Not only does it help protect against the sun, but hats or shirts also reduce the impact of harmful environmental agents coming into contact with the hair.
Sunscreen spray for hair: When choosing sunscreen sprays for hair on the market, you should pay attention to choosing products with additional nourishing ingredients so that your hair retains moisture.
11 Don’t tie your hair too tightly
When going out, you should tie your hair back to avoid dirt, pollution, and sunlight affecting your hair. You should use fabric hair ties instead of rubber ones. If possible, use silk strings.
Rubber hair ties will make your hair always “tight like a string”, your hair roots and scalp will also be stretched. If the condition lasts for many days you will notice less hair in some areas.
