Why would anyone fight the traffic, sit reading magazine just to get healthy looking hair when you can easily do it at home? All you need are simple styling tools like quality brushes, first rate hair products and some helpful tips like what follow.
Washing: Wash your hair on alternate days of the week and alternate between a gentle, mild shampoo and conditioner. When lathering up apply the shampoo to the scalp and focus on massaging the hair closest to your scalp. Why? That’s where the oil and dirt is. While conditioner should always be used on the ends rather then applying it through out your hair. You want to moisturize the driest part of your tresses to give them sheen. Complete with a thorough rinsing.
Tip: Overnight transformations are easily achieved with hair color. When selecting the color that best compliments your skin tones, have a pro help you even if home coloring kits are available.
Eat a Healthy Diet: Believe it or not gorgeous hair starts with what you eat. Healthy helpings of dark leafy vegetables equals healthy hair. Carrots give you Vitamin A and proteins make hair strong. Also drink lots of water. Your hair reveals if you are eating well and it seriously reflects what you eat.
Drying: Going at your web hair with a towel only results in tangles and excess breakage. Instead squeeze out the excess water into your towel. Dry it just enough so it’s not dripping while blow drying with the dryer set on at the lowest heat setting that works.
Cutting: Regular trims can keep split ends at bay. What’s regular? It depends on the length of your hair. A short style will require more frequent trims. Longer hair can go from 2 to 3 months. For everything else, six to eight weeks is just about right.
Tip: Brushes are relatively inexpensive. You need good tools to get good results.
Clearly you don’t need to go to the salon to get vibrant, sexy hair. Besides once you know what works with your styling becomes fun an easy. Not to mention the results speak for themselves.
