Keeping Your Hair Healthy

7 WAYS TO MAKE YOUR HAIR LOOK HEALTHIER

You can significantly improve the quality of your hair by following some simple rules during the everyday care for your hair. Here are 7 ways to make your hair look healthier.

1. EAT WELL

Your diet plays a major role in how your hair turns out. If you are eating nutritious food filled with all the required vitamins and supplements, it will show in your hair. Any food that gives you vitamins A and C is great as these vitamins help the body to produce a natural conditioner called sebum.

2. AIR DRY AS MUCH AS YOU CAN

In today’s world we are constantly inflicting a vast amount of heat onto our hair. We blow dry it and follow this with straightening and curling iron treatments. All this heat can really damage the hair so when you can, allow your hair to air dry. Protecting your hair from excessive amounts of heat can make it look healthy and shiny almost immediately.

3. GET A HEAD MASSAGE

It is a scientific fact that a good head massage can do wonders for your hair. It stimulates blood flow and reduces thinning and hair loss. You can do it yourself at home either with your hands or with the help of a massage brush. Also embrace those amazing scalp massages at the shampoo bowl from our lovely hair dressers!

4. REGULARLY WASH YOUR HAIR BUT DON’T OVER WASH IT

Washing your hair keeps it clean and fresh. It takes away the dust and grease that gets retained within as you go about your daily lives. However take care not to over wash your hair. Shampoo takes out a lot of your hair’s natural oils so when you over do it, you unnecessarily lose out on its natural shine.  We suggest every 2-3 days in between shampoos.

5. TRIM YOUR HAIR REGULARLY

A regular trim works wonders for your appearance. It gets rid of those ugly split ends. It also makes your hair look lush and healthy. You also have the opportunity to change your hairstyle a bit every time you go for a trim. It can really enhance your look and free you from your boredom. 

6. TOWEL DRY YOUR HAIR GENTLY

When you get out of the shower try to gently pat your hair down. You run the risk of damaging it when you roughly go over it with a towel. When hair is wet, it expands making it easier to snap. Drying your hair vigorously with a towel can only result in long-lasting damage.

7. BRUSH YOUR HAIR BEFORE SLEEPING

Brushing your hair before bed actually does make your hair look healthier and well kept. It gets rid of any dirt and particles that found their way within and also promotes circulation.

Regular care for your hair is a daily exercise consisting of a healthy diet, smart hair care techniques and avoidance of heat. Start today for a healthier head of hair tomorrow. Talk with your hairdresser if you have any further questions or concerns.  We are always willing to give good advice when it comes to the well being of your hair.
