Many people have no idea what they should do with the hair they have. In the end it is up to you to manage and care for your hair. The piece that follows can help point you where you need to go in order to get the hair you have always wanted.
Healthy hair comes from a well-nourished and healthy body. If you can eat well and exercise regularly, then this type of lifestyle will be well reflected in your head of hair. Having a diet that is rich in fruits, whole grains, beneficial fats and lean protein can help your hair to stay strong and healthy.
Despite popular belief, frequent trims do not cause your hair to grow faster. Regardless of how often hair is cut, it only grows an average of 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. Getting your hair trimmed in a timely fashion keep split ends and breakage at bay, which is what causes some people to incorrectly think trims affect hair growth.
Thick conditioners, meant for thick hair, will give thin hair a greasy appearance. The weight of the conditioner acts to flatten and minimize the appearance of the hair. Light conditioners work better to add volume, without making the hair greasy or heavy.
You can easily damage hair with constant use of curling irons and blow dryers. If you are going to use heating products, place them on the lowest setting and protect your hair with a serum or cream. Such products place a buffer between your hair and the heat.
Help your hair to retain moisture to avoid split ends and breakage. Using the correct temperature of water when you shampoo is important. Rinse the hair with cool water after shampooing. The cool water helps by sealing moisture in the hair shaft.
There is some truth to the old adage, “your hair is your crowning glory.” When you keep your hair looking good and groom it well, you represent yourself well. Make sure you use what you have learned, in order to take extra steps towards caring for your hair and showing the world that you are a well-managed person.
