Keeping your hair healthy and away from any risk of damage

One of your body parts that can be a handful to maintain is hair. It is said to be personal crown and one of the very first thing people notice when interacting. Having a bad hair can also affect your self-esteem. Therefore, it is necessary to develop good habits to maintain your hair health. Here are several for them you can implement daily:

Wash your hair gently and properly

You don’t have to look for the most expensive one when it comes to shampoo and other body care because the most important thing is if it suits what your hair needs. Once you find your matched shampoo, make sure to wash your hair properly. Avoid scratching your scalp harshly because you might hurt your scalp and cause damage. Just gently massage your scalp, and let the shampoo flow through the length of your hair when rinsing. This is the way to protect your strands from any damage from washing. 

Dry and brush your hair gently

Wrap your hair with towel to dry it and let it air dry. You also don’t have to always use a blower especially when you are not in a rush. The towel will help absorb the water and the air will help to dry it even though it takes longer. Wait until your hair is half dry before brushing it. Avoid brushing it while your hair still wet because you might pull the hair out. Also, use a wide-tooth comb as to not give your hair a harsh pull. 

Use simple hairstyle

Some styling can be damaging to your hair especially those that use harsh products with long-lasting hold. That’s why, it is always best to go for simpler hairstyle. At least, limit the amount of hair-styling unless you are planning to some events. By limiting your hair from any exposure to chemical products for hair-styling, your hair will grow more healthier. 

Develop a habit of relaxing your hair

Yes, your hair can get stressed too from many reasons. For example, you pull your hair too tightly for a ponytail or bun, wearing a weave or hair extensions, frequently bleaching your hair, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to develop habits of giving your hair times for relaxation. For example, use conditioner after shampooing, using leave-in conditioner containing zinc oxide when outside, massaging your scalp gently, etc. Also, do not forget to let your hair loose from any tie before bed.
