No matter what kind of hair you have, experimenting with hot styling tools can have negative effects on your hair. Many people have a hand at curling, straightening and even blow drying their hair every day. These can all have serious damaging effects, like split ends. Split ends are exactly what the word states, ends that have split in 2 or even 3 strands because of harsh towel drying, excessive combing and unprotected heating. A tip for when you get out of the shower: Grab a towel and gently squeeze the water out instead of harshly rubbing the hair together. Then grab a wide tooth comb to get rid of any tangles. Another great idea to maintain healthy hair is to use serums or hair products. Something like a reconstructing serum can restore your hair of its natural oils and essential nutrients.
A tip for styling your hair with heated tools, use a thermal protection spray. This is a great product to use because it repairs the hairs moisture, which is taken out after exposing your hair to extreme heat.
Taking care of your hair in the shower:
- Shampoos and Conditioners are important products to keep your hair clean and healthy. Try to use one that moisturizes, hydrates and replenishes. Ones that have natural oils like Shea, Avocado and Olive are the ones your hair will benefit the most out of.
- Use lukewarm water when showering, even cold if you can stand it! Hot water can dry out your faster and leave your scalp feeling irritated and tight.
The summer season is a big threat to maintaining healthy hair. Many people like to go swimming in chlorine filtered waters and lay out in the sun for hours on end. You could slather some sunscreen on your head OR you could simply wear a hat. This can protect the sun from damaging the hair with extreme heat. When swimming frequently apply deep conditioner to your hair before you get in the water, or wear a swim cap.
