5 Tips for Better Hair

There is so many products out there we can put in our hair to make it healthy, but there must be some fundamentals to get my hair looking great. Well after scouring the internet in all it's glory here are the 5 Most Important tips I have come across so far.

1. Drink eight to ten glasses of water a day too; hair is 25% water, so don’t let yours go thirsty!

2. Dry your hair after washing in the ambient temperature of your room after using an absorbent towel to soak up the excess moisture, but don’t rub hard. Using blow-dryers, flat irons, curling irons or hot rollers will leave your hair brittle and damaged in time.

3. Prevent unnecessary hair damage by using the right kind of hairbrush. Only comb wet hair with a wide-tooth comb, combing from end to root, but avoiding touching the root. Detangling wet hair with a hard steel comb can create a lot of damage.

4. Remove split ends, like this: take small sections of your hair and carefully twist them in a gentle downward motion. The split ends will stick out. Using sharp scissors, carefully cut into the twisted section, but not right through, to remove the damaged cuticles and leave a natural layered look. Cut roughly the same amount from each twist to balance the effect.

5. Hair loss can be slowed, or even reversed by applying a few simple tips, though they probably won’t cure an underlying condition. Biotin can help to regenerate hair follicles: blend bananas with honey, yogurt and low-fat milk, and drink it daily. Supplements such as Vitamin B6, zinc and saw palmetto will help too.

Our hair is your crowning glory. Look after it and it will shine for all the world to see. You don’t always need expensive treatments, or visits to a hair salon/ Barber to manage your hair professionally. There’s so much you can do yourself.
