Do you stare enviously at people with great hair, wondering what their secret is? People with perfect hair are not simply lucky; they use advice, like what you are about to read. Read the following article to get the hair that everyone dreams about.
Avoid heavy conditioners if you have thin or fine hair. They will only wear down your hair making it look finer and thinner. You can add mousse or leave-in conditioners to give your hair volume, and these will not leave a greasy residue.
TIP! In order to have healthy hair, you first need to have a healthy body. Take good care of it by eating nutritious food accompanied by drinking lots of clean, fresh water.
To get your hair in better condition and make it stronger, try not to use too many hand-held drying devices. Curling irons and blow dryers can seriously dry your hair, and can make it nearly impossible to control frizz and restore condition. Every once in a while, give your hair a break and lay off the heat!
Forget the myth that frequent trims make your hair grow faster. Whether you trim or not, hair grows around a half inch per month. You can sometimes see faster growth with biotin supplements or in the summer; however, hormones, not scissors, control hair growth. Trims eliminate split ends, and make your hair look a lot better.
When towel drying never briskly rub your hair. This causes your hair to frizz, and it stretches the strands of hair, causing them to potentially break. Instead of this, you should gently squeeze, blot or pat any additional moisture off your hair, or you could loosely wrap it into a towel. Brushing it when it’s wet will likely damage it so only use a wide-tooth comb at this time.
TIP! Avoid heavy conditioners if you have thin or fine hair. They will just weigh down your hair, and make it look more limp and lifeless.
Whenever a blow dryer is used, it should not be allowed to direct heat to one area of the hair for very long, but rather should be moved around rapidly. This will minimize the likelihood that your hair will have heat damage.
When conditioning your hair, ensure that you spread the conditioner evenly across all parts of your scalp; don’t overcondition one area. You should also, for best results, let the conditioner remain in your hair for a few minutes prior to rinsing it out.
Protect your curls with a satin pillowcase. Cotton pillowcases absorb the oil and moisture from your hair. Satin pillowcases will protect hair, and let you wake in the morning with similar curls to the ones you slept with. Wrapping your head in satin will also work very well to keep your hair safe.
TIP! Try a deep conditioning treatment if your hair feels dry. After thoroughly washing your hair and wringing it out until it’s less damp, work in your conditioner and put a shower cap over your head.
When you brush your hair, you should start near the bottom, and work your way up. Avoid breakage by slowly working out the knots at the ends. As the knots work out, you can start doing slow strokes from the roots to the tips.
Having amazing hair is more than possible. If you learn and use the simple tips contained in this article, your hair can look just as good as a celebrity’s. Make the most of your newly acquired knowledge and start to enjoy the hair you have always dreamed of. Before long, your friends will be asking what secrets you have for your hair.
