7 Tips To Get Sleek and Healthy Hair

Have you ever wondered why your hair wasn’t as healthy as some of your friends? Ever thought they know something about hair care that you don’t? Well, if so, then today is your lucky day! The following include practical tips to follow in order to keep your hair healthy and nourished.

1. Straightening and styling tools:

 All heat products are damaging to the hair, so it’s important to limit their usage. Even worse than heat products are cheap styling tools because they’re not designed efficiently with the complex materials that will protect the hair from damage. If you can’t afford any high quality styling products, it’s better to go natural until you’ve saved enough money for a product that will be worth every penny. 

2. Coconut Oils: 

Among other oils, coconut oil is one of the most beneficial because it is high in vitamins and fatty acids that your hair can utilize. It’s effects are the same on all hair types and ethnicities. A product from your local grocery store, it is great because you can use it topically and eat it to receive an extra boost for hair growth and health. For topical use, the best advice is to gently massage the oil onto your hair with your fingertips. This will make your hair increase shine, gain moisture, strengthen it’s texture, and become more manageable by stimulating circulation and nourishment to the scalp. 

3. Safe shampoo products:

Most shampoo products contain cleaning agents, such as sulfates that not only damage your hair follicles, but are hazardous to your overall health. The sulfates dehydrate your hair and cause it to become brittle. If this is something you’ve noticed that happens to you after washing your hair, find a shampoo and conditioner that is labeled as sulfate free. It’s also important not to wash your hair too much; once a day is enough. You may even consider skipping a day or two some weeks, especially if your hair is thinner.

4. Stress:

Stress can result in hair loss. One main factor of stress is adrenal exhaustion, which is usually caused by anxiety or drug use, especially coffee. Some of this can be reduced by detoxifying the body with healthy juices. It is also important to simply have your moments of peace. Quick meditations are a great solution to this problem. 

5. Improving your dietary health:

Do not overdose when taking dietary supplements for hair growth, this may worsen it. Less is more with most mineral intake. However, the vitamin b’s are the main focal point for hair growth because they block stress and you can take large amounts safely, so if your impatient, this would be the most practical solution for you. A deficiency or uneven ratio in other nutrients can cause hair loss and graying. 

6. Daily moisturizers: 

Make sure to keep your hair moisturized with a leave in conditioner hair product, so that it can resist the negative effects of stringent weather. If you find leave in conditioners inconvenient, you can make a homemade product that suits your needs. 

7. Exercising: 

Exercising is a great way to get and maintain proper hair health because it improves blood flow, ultimately reducing stress, and providing oxygen to the scalp. 

These are just a few of the many ways to get sleek and healthy hair. Try them out- maybe you’ll be the next object of hair envy!
