There are many hair types, each requiring specific care. However, some hair care tips apply to all hair types. Whether you have curly, straight, thin, wavy, oily, or dry hair, use these tips to care for your locks in a better way.
Hair Care Tip #1: Don’t Wash Your Hair Every Day
This one is probably the most talked-about hair care tip right now. We are not asking you to keep your hair full of dirt and sweat as we know that there are days you simply can’t afford to skip the shower. However, trust us when we say that exposing your hair to water and hair products every single day is bad. Use a dry shampoo if you have an important meeting to attend. Dry shampoos are great for getting rid of greasiness from hair and making them instantly fresh.
Hair Care Tip #2: Use Lukewarm Water
As much as hot showers feel relaxing, they are your hair’s worst enemy. Hot water strips away all the essential oils from your hair, leaving them dry and dull-looking. So, be kind to your hair and set the water temperature at lukewarm.
Hair Care Tip #3: Apply Shampoo on the Scalp
Shampoo needs to be applied and concentrated on your scalp. Massaging shampoo in the lengths and ends of your hair takes away its moisture. As a result, your hair becomes lackluster and dry. Your roots produce oil, hence they need thorough cleansing.
Hair Care Tip #4: Condition Correctly
Very few people know how to condition correctly and properly. Conditioner restores the moisture levels of your hair. Your scalp already produces oil and does not need conditioning. It’s the length and tips of your hair that require conditioning. We advise you to distribute conditioner in your hair using a wide-tooth comb.
Hair Care Tip #5: Protect Your Hair from Heat
We all love blowouts and curls. Well, who doesn’t? But if we tell you the level of damage it causes, you might want to avoid it altogether. However, a small adjustment to your hair care routine will not force you to stay away from styling tools. Use a good heat protectant before blow-drying, curling or straightening your hair.
Hair Care Tip #6: Buy a Silk Pillowcase
Ever heard about how a pillowcase plays a major role in your hair care routine? Unlike cotton pillowcases, silk pillowcases don’t absorb the essential oils and hair care products from your hair. So, switch to a silk or satin pillowcase today.
Hair Care Tip #7: Protect Your Hair from UV Rays
Just like your skin needs protection from the sun, your hair does too. You may already know this but fail to work on it. We recommend you to cover your hair with a scarf or hat when the UV index is 3 or above.
