If you want to know how to have spectacular hair, Incrível.club explains the steps to follow.
What to do to have healthy hair?
1. Do not use dyes
Sometimes it is unavoidable to dye our hair to cover the gray. In this case, it is better to use ammonia-free dyes, color baths or natural henna, to damage it as little as possible. There are special products for dyed hair that soften and protect the color. Using hydrating masks twice a week will keep them from over-damaging.
2. Do not expose your hair to sources of intense heat
Reduce the use of dryers, flat irons or curling irons, as the heat of these devices dehydrates and weakens the wires. It’s best to let them dry or use the dryer on the lowest possible temperature. Before using any of these appliances, you should apply a heat protectant to all of your hair to minimize damage. Also remember that before using the flat iron or curling iron, your hair must be completely dry if you don’t want to damage it further.
3. Moisturize your hair
Hydration is essential for healthy, shiny hair. It is advisable to use a mask twice a week and conditioner every time you wash it, as this will help to untangle it. You can also use hydrating oils such as argan or almond. These oils can be used with both wet and dry hair.
4. Protect your hair from the sun
It’s quite common to protect our skin from the sun, but hair is always the great forgotten. The sun, the chlorine in the pool and the sea water dry it out and weaken it. To avoid this, apply a specific sunscreen and, if you are going to be in the sun for a long time, it is advisable to wear hats or caps that protect the scalp from direct exposure.
5. Have a balanced diet
What you eat reflects on the health of your hair. So if you have a deficiency of any vitamin or mineral, it will break easily, fall off and lose its shine and smoothness. Omega-3s, iron, folic acid and potassium are essential for sporting healthy hair. Greens, salmon, avocados, legumes, dairy and nuts will help to provide you with the necessary vitamins and nutrients. Drinking plenty of water also benefits the health of our hair.
6. Careful with brushing
It is advisable to brush your hair at least twice a day (one of them before bed). In this way, we manage to stimulate the scalp. It’s best to use a brush with natural bristles, which will damage less and prevent static electricity. Do not brush wet hair as it breaks easily, opt for a wide comb if you want to remove tangles.
7. Massage
Scalp massages are very beneficial for stimulating the hair follicle. They will make your hair grow healthier and faster. Enjoy it when you wash it and spend a few minutes massaging your head with the shampoo. There are also special lotions for this stimulation that are applied to dry hair by massaging the scalp for five minutes.
8. Take care of hair health by cutting it
Sometimes we want to have big hair for so long that we decide not to go to the hairdresser. It is advisable to trim the ends to clean it every three or four months, especially when summer ends. Remember: if your hair isn’t healthy, it won’t be beautiful either.
