Hair treatment tips and tricks

We all hate those days when our hair doesn’t look the way we want it. Many shampoos, crmes, and hair products sometimes help us to solve that problem but, dry hair still needs more care. During winter days for example, it is hard to say that the weather conditions are good for hair health and care. It often happens that

dry hair doesn’t look better even after washing, because weather conditions have negative effect on hair quality. Aggressive shampoos, washing hair too frequently, sun exposure and wind can also damage hair. You can avoid all these if you follow these tips…

Be careful with shampoos

If you wash your hair too often, you can make it dry. A lot of people believe that if their hair “creaks” when they touch it, it is clean and wash it even few times daily. Wrong! Namely, shampoos contain harmful ingredients which remove natural greasiness from the scalp, which actually nourishes hair and makes it moisturized. On the other hand, non-aggressive shampoos stimulate sebaceous glands to produce more oil so it is advisable to wash your hair 2 times a week. The best shampoos for your hair are those which have pH value 4.5-6.7, so remember that baby shampoos are not perfect for your hair because their pH is too high.

Nourish your hair

Be gentle while shampooing your hair, because aggressive washing can also damage your hair and scalp. Massage your hair with your fingers and you will boost sebaceous glands. Massage also boosts circulation, and that helps your hair to grow healthier and more beautiful.

Use conditioner

Dry hair needs conditioner. Use conditioners which contain a very small amount of alcohol, or which do not contain alcohol at all. If you have extra dry hair, you can apply conditioner over night. Apply a great amount of conditioner and wear a shower cap or a towel. Wash your hair in the morning using cold or lukewarm water.

Hot oil can help

You don’t have to go to hairdressing salon to get hot oil hair treatment, because you can do that on your

own. Heat olive or coconut oil and apply it on your hair and wait for 20-30 minutes and then wash with cold or lukewarm water. You should also apply shower cap during this treatment.

When it comes to hair nourishing, it is important not to exaggerate. Take care of your hair every day and visit your hairdresser regularly and that will help you to have a healthy and perfect hair.
