10 basic tips for a better Hair care

↓

1- Eat healthy food

being in a Healthy condition affects both the inside and outside of the body , the same nutritious foods that are good for your health promote stronger & healthier hair.

Fish ” especially salmon “ and nuts are rich in proteins and omega-3 fatty acids which make our hair & scalp healthier .

Nutrients found in fresh leafy green vegetables, beans, and carrots are also good for your hair.

 

 

2 – Balanced Diet


Paying attention to what you introduce into your body is very important , but Be careful while planning for a weight loss diet as deficiency of some nutrients such as zinc, biotin, or protein can lead to brittle hair or hair loss

the most common cause of hair loss in teens is Harsh diets .. so please, remember it’s called Weight loss diet NOT Starvation .. you want to drop down some pounds not hair right  🙂 ?!

 

 

3- Relax

Yeah ! … take a yoga class or even hug a pillow while breathing deeply  , when you relax your hair relax with you :happy:

stress can increase the amount hair loss and wrinkles too !

 

4- Shower with warm water

i love Hot steamy water i can stay under it for hours without getting tired or bored .. But unfortunately it’s not good to do that :ermm:

introducing Hot water to your head would wash off the natural protective oils of the hair which are secreted by the scalp ” called sebum “

this causes your hair to be very dry and more likely to be brittle ,

but this doesn’t mean you have to suffer and use cold water ,in fact .. cold water makes the shampoo more viscous and harder to wash off ,

Dermatologists recommend Lukewarm water ” about 38 C ”  as a perfect temperature for washing hair .

 

 

5- Wash , Massage , . . then Wash Wash Wash !


Do not apply shampoo on your dry hair , wash your head first with warm water , then apply some shampoo and massage it through your hair , it should be foamy by that time ..

then wash it very very good .. leaving shampoo traces in your hair after the shower can make your hair dry and brittle

if you have long hair , make sure you get enough water to all your hair from tips to follicles ,

here is a nice technique that could help 🙂 :

wash normally while being in upright position , then look down and hold your hair up with one hand allowing the shower water to flow from the back of your head and massage gently with your other hand

after that , bend your hair to the right and wash thoroughly with water then repeat on the left side ” don’t bend your neck and head to the sides or water will run inside your ears >> >> not cool :blink: “

Now leave your hair down and massage again with both of your hands .. and you’re done :happy:

 

 

6- Brush Less to Limit Hair Loss


Hair loss is normal , most people lose an average of 50 to 100 hairs every day.

To minimize additional hair loss, use a brush with ball-tipped bristles or a comb ..

I’ve stopped using brushes about 4 years ago and i stick to wide teethed combs like this one here

7 – Wet hair should be treated as a baby

be gentle 🙂 .. vigorous towel-drying can damage hair , the best way to dry it is to wrap it gently with a clean dry towel then start squeezing it on your hair

rubbing the towel back and forth against your hair can make it brittle , also avoid brushing while the hair is still wet

our hair is weakest the most when it’s wet especially after a long shower or a swim as most of the protective oils are washed off and the scalp becomes very sensitive and gets irritated & damaged easily .

 

8- Shampoo is just a soap for hair .. nothing magical !


some people believe that getting a very expensive shampoo and putting it on their hair for a while before washing it will make their hair better , Not true !

very expensive shampoos don’t perform better than cheaper ones ..

the important thing is to Choose shampoos and conditioners designed for your hair type ” oily, dry , wavy , color-treated hair … etc “

 

9- Avoid Extreme Color Changes


the greater the difference between your hair color and the dye color , the greater will be the damage .. be careful while shifting from black to yellow or the opposite

Some dermatologists recommend staying within three shades of your natural color – darker or lighter –

 

10 – Swimming + Sun  VS  Hair


make it a habit to rinse your hair thoroughly with water before entering the pool to avoid chlorine damage , If your hair is already saturated with water it won’t absorb much of it , . . Use a swimming head cover for extra protection .

the Sun damages the hair just like the skin , so try using scarfs , hats or hair creams with SPFs on sunny days to protect your hair .

 

 

keep in mind that Hair is an indication to our internal health state ,
Consult your doctor if you noticed sudden abnormal changes in your hair condition
