Whether curly, straight, short or long – hair is as different as the people who own it. Every hair needs the right care that suits its structure and length. However, there are some tips that you can quickly and easily incorporate into your hair care routine that will promote shiny, healthy hair.
Split ends are annoying because they thin the hair over time and promote hair breakage. To remove split ends regularly, you don’t always have to go to the hairdresser. With a little practice, you can remove it yourself at home. To do this, work your way through your hair, strand by strand. Separate a strand of hair about two to three centimeters thick with your fingers and twirl the hair around each other. This means you twist it until a narrow and twisted strand is visible. This should be as tight as possible. The broken ends are now sticking out from the twisted strand and can be easily seen if you hold them up to the light. Remove the stray strands with sharp hairdressing scissors and repeat this process with each strand of hair.
A hair mask is an intensive care product that is distributed and massaged into the damp lengths after washing your hair. Depending on the mask, the exposure time varies slightly. A hair mask is intended to provide moisture and give dry hair more suppleness and shine. You can use hair masks when your hair appears dry and dull or regularly once or twice a week.
Argan oil is said to have numerous positive properties. Argan oil contains fatty acids and antioxidants that are said to give the hair a fresh shine. The tocopherol it contains is also said to have a positive effect on hair growth and strengthen the hair roots. The oil also helps with dry scalp and can alleviate symptoms such as burning or itching by reducing dandruff and improving blood circulation. The application is simple: distribute the oil on the scalp before washing your hair and massage it in. Let the oil soak under a towel for about 30 minutes. You can then wash your hair. Alternatively, you can also use argan oil as a hair treatment. After shampooing, simply distribute it through your hair, wrap your head with a towel and let it absorb overnight. However, you must rinse your hair thoroughly the following day.
There are numerous electric hair styling devices. These include straighteners, curling irons, wave irons and round blow dryer brushes. Styling hair with these devices is fun, but it shouldn’t be done carelessly or too often. The heat can damage the hair, drying it out and causing hair breakage. You can recognize good styling devices because they have a temperature display. Do not set the temperature above 150 to 160 degrees, this will help you straighten or curl your hair more gently.
In particular, people with long hair lie on their hair while sleeping. This can cause hair — especially hair that is already damaged — to break more quickly. A simple but effective tip is to braid your hair or wear a bun on your head before you go to bed. This will prevent you from lying on your hair and causing the hair to break more quickly.
