Hair care is key to keeping it healthy, strong and shiny.
Here are some universal tips:
1. **The right shampoo and conditioner**
- Choose products suited to your hair type (e.g. dry, oily, coloured, damaged).
- Avoid shampoos high in sulphates, which can dry out your hair.
2. **Washing your hair**
- Wash your hair in lukewarm water; hot water can dry out your scalp and hair.
- Don't wash your hair every day unless necessary - washing too often can strip your hair of its natural oils.
3. **Conditioner**
- Use conditioner after every wash, concentrating on the ends of your hair.
- Use a deeply moisturizing mask or conditioner once a week to strengthen your hair.
4. **Drying**
- Let your hair dry naturally when possible. If you use a blow dryer, use a cooler setting and hold the dryer at a safe distance.
- Always use heat protection products before blow-drying or heat styling.
5. **Hair Protection**
- Avoid heat styling (straightening, curling) too often, it will weaken your hair.
- Protect your hair from the sun and pollution by wearing a hat or using products with a UV filter.
6. **Healthy Diet**
- A diet rich in vitamins and minerals (e.g. B vitamins, biotin, zinc, omega-3) has a direct impact on the condition of the hair.
- Drink plenty of water to maintain the right level of hydration in your body, which will translate into the health of your hair.
7. **Regular trimming of the ends**
- Trim your ends every 6-8 weeks to prevent split ends and keep your hair looking healthy.
8. **Avoid aggressive treatments**
- Dyeing, perming or chemical straightening can weaken hair. Try to limit such treatments or use gentler alternatives.
9. **Gentle combing**
- Comb your hair gently, starting from the ends and gradually moving towards the roots. Use a wide-toothed comb or a hairbrush.
- Wet hair is more susceptible to damage, so comb it carefully.
10. **Avoid tight hairstyles**
- Tight ponytails, buns or braids can lead to hair breakage and loss. Choose looser updos to avoid excessive tension on the hair.
Following these rules regularly will help keep your hair in good condition, regardless of its type.
