How TO Grew My Hair & Healthy Hair Tips

Healthy hair tips First of all, I want to stress that although my hair is far from flawless and I do have some heat and colour damage, over the years I have learned a lot about healthy hair that I am thrilled to share with you. Since I don’t think you can credit one thing for hair health, I’m going to share everything I use and do today. These simple suggestions may not seem like much, but with time, they build up and are followed consistently.

ELIMINATE WASHES

My hair has improved dramatically since I attempted to wash it just once every three to four days! Over-washing really ends up drying out your hair and creating a great deal of damage, breakage, and dullness. By robbing your scalp and hair of their natural oils. This whole vicious cycle starts when your scalp becomes dry and actually produces more oil to compensate. I’ve educated my scalp to create less oil over time by cutting out washes.

So it took some time to get used to, but it’s doable. Even with my four-to-five-times-a-week training schedule, I can get away with washing my hair just a few times a week. Try washing your hair every other day for a few weeks if you now wash it every day. Initially strange, it will grow better. Then gradually attempt to extend it by a day or two more. Between washings, use dry shampoo.

SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER

My hair benefits from frequent shampoo and conditioner changes, which is something I enjoy doing! I have been using Kerastase for a while, and I always seem to return to them even when I try new things! Though these are products designed especially for blondes, I think this brand is fantastic overall and offers a tonne of options for all hair types. Also suitable for non-blonds are these products! I’ve also linked a less expensive and another choice that I think works well for damaged, dry hair. I see them both as members of the same family

HAIR MASKS

I truly enjoy using a couple of masks to replenish moisture in my hair after shampooing. As much as possible, I leave masks on (I’ll shave my legs and wash my face while the mask works). If you colour or use a lot of heat, masks are essential! Apply to the ends and face framing layers of your hair alone (they tend to suffer the most heat damage) if you’re worried about your hair looking oily. Avoid the roots. Below are links to some of my favourite masks.

SCALP CARE

Starting at the scalp: healthy hair! Hair development greatly depends on the condition of your scalp, which we should take care of just like our face skin (cleanse and hydrate). You should clean your scalp if, when washing your hair, you kind of scratch your scalp and see white product accumulation under your nails. To break up buildup (from dry shampoo and other products) and stimulate hair follicles, which encourages growth, I like to use this scalp massager. An additional excellent scalp product that detoxifies your scalp without drying it out is this pre-wash mask treatment! Additionally, strengthening and thickening hair is one benefit of this scalp serum. My scalp gets a couple droppers after I shower!

COLD WATER RINSE

Now, I still do it, even though I believe I read this one in a magazine when I was in middle school. I will include this one, even though I’m not sure how much it really helps. I will turn on the cold water and let it run through my hair for approximately twenty seconds after Shampooing and conditioning it, just before my shower ends. The theory is that your hair will lay more smoothly and retain moisture if the cold water helps to seal its cuticle. Hair that has a smoother cuticle will appear more glossy and shiny. I still do it, even though who knows if it works? For healthy hair tips

MICROFIBER TOWEL

I always, always use a microfiber towel to dry my hair after I wash it. Your hair is much too weighed down and damaged by a regular bath towel! I even take them on vacation with me, as once you use microfiber, you won’t want to use anything else! If, when travelling, you forget a towel like this, dry your hair with a t-shirt and stay away from hotel towels and regular bath towels at all. Frizz and breakage of your hair might result from the friction they create. Though really any microfiber towel is preferable to a bath towel, it is important for healthy hair tips.

WET BRUSH & DETANGLER

Brushing comes next, after allowing the microfiber cloth absorb as much water as possible. I never use any other brush on my damp hair but a damp Brush. After lightly brushing my hair from the bottom to the top, I like to mist a little leave-in conditioner. Should you need to work through a knot, lightly push the wet brush through the strands after misting them with detangler. When hair is damp, it is quite delicate, so treat it gently! A plus of this one is that it protects from heat!

AIR DRY/LESS HEAT

Take your microfiber towel and, after brushing out your damp hair, gently squeeze out any extra water. If at all feasible, let your hair air dry as much as you can before blow drying. Better still if you can forego blow drying completely! That’s preferable to drying your hair when it’s drenched, though, even if you can only let it air dry for the first half hour. When your hair is damp, it is most delicate, so try to let it air dry as much as possible before using a blow dryer. Though it’s incredibly expensive, the Dyson Air wrap does shield your hair from intense heat. I’ve been blow-drying my hair with it lately. I’ll link it down below and add a couple more blow dryers that I’ve tried and truly enjoy. I still do as much air drying as I can, even with the Dyson.It is important for healthy hair tips.

HEAT PROTECTANT

An absolute must are heat protectants, and I can really tell when I’m not using them. My previously described leave-in conditioner spray and scalp serum are what I use when I first brush my hair. I follow with my favourite oil and my blow-dry cream! To view my process, watch this video and I’ll link everything below!

HOW I SLEEP

Using a silk pillowcase at night not only benefits your skin but also shields your hair from split ends, creases, and damage from ordinary cotton pillowcases. When you consider all the tossing and turning you do while sleeping,. A silk pillowcase eliminates all of that friction and keeps your hair from breaking and frizzing. You are losing out on better hair if you don’t sleep on a silk pillowcase!! Short term, this has completely improved the appearance of my hair (literally, it looks better the next day), and over time, it helps avoid friction-related breaking! With my hair longer now, I like to sleep with it in a loose, high pony on top of my head and a silk scrunchy to keep it out of my way. My curls remained longer over the week, and my hair looks much nicer. when I wake up, thanks to the pillowcase and high pony combo.It is important for healthy hair tips.

HAIR TIES

My Gimme Hair Ties have also changed things dramatically. They don’t yank your hair out and are seamless. One of the main culprits of split ends and breaking is the elastic hair tie! I really like the long fit and wear them for my workouts. Nowadays, I never wear hair ties that have glue on them. Not so much for working out, but for around the house, sleeping, or just quickly tying my hair back, I adore these tiny silk scrunchies.

TAKE A BREAK FROM HEAT

Though most of us sadly do not have the luxury of having our hair nicely air-dried, even reducing the amount of heat you use on your hair will improve its strength and health! Heat will only make your badly damaged hair worse. When your hair is healthier, you can reintroduce heat, and it will be more resilient. Try to consider things carefully before curling or straightening. Maybe spend one or two days a week without heat. Attempt a pony, slicked-back bun, headband, braid, or low pony. There are a ton of adorable heatless hairstyles available, and heat is most definitely not beneficial if you want healthy hair!

FREQUENT TRIMS

Though it can be tempting to forego haircuts while your hair is growing out, frequent haircuts are absolutely essential to your hair’s continued health. Depending on how my ends feel, every two to three months I get my hair cut. Just to tidy the ends without cutting too much length off, I ask for a light dusting. In addition, I want a more blunt cut at the bottom because I think it gives my hair a fuller, healthier look. I swear it’s only a visual trick from the blunt cut, but people often say how fresh my ends appear. To my face framing layers and any other layers throughout my hair, I also simply give them an extremely gentle trim. My hair has a couple longer, softer layers that mix in really well; it’s not overly layered.

Vitamin Supplements or Diet

ALL right, This one I’m putting at the end since, in my opinion, it’s the universal “quick fix”! As I just indicated, a lot of factors go into hair growth; hence, I don’t think taking a vitamin alone will promote hair growth. My belief is that all the tiny things you do add up; hence, I attempt to approach hair health from a more thorough angle. I have accelerated the growth of my hair, which benefits your hair invariably. Together with fish oil and a probiotic, I take Athletic Greens. For the past three months, I have also been taking it, and I have definitely seen a decrease in hair fall. My hair and nail growth drastically improved after I started using the Prose tablets almost a year ago! Though I am not taking it right now, I highly suggest it is important for healthy hair tips.

PRODUCTS FOR SHINE

How come your hair is so shining, is another question I get. Once more, I believe that all of these things—the silk pillowcase, the microfiber towel, washing your hair less frequently to prevent drying it out, etc.—contribute to shiny hair, but there are a few products that can add even more shine. Just be careful not to overdo it, as you don’t want to make your hair appear too oily or weighed down! For the past few years, this oil has been my favorite; it really adds luster to your hair. I find it’s not at all greasy, whether I use it on dry or wet hair! Although dry shampoos are designed to absorb more oil,

A few final notes on hair health & growth

I advise giving these advice a full six months before passing a verdict because growing hair takes time. If, nevertheless, you believe that you have been trying all of these things for years and are still not seeing any improvement, consider these points. It may be time to change things up if you usually dye your hair a shade significantly lighter than your natural colour. Though I’m not a hair colour specialist,. I would have to believe you might give some things some thought. Even while I’m not against hair colouring,

You might want to give it some rest and attempt a less striking color. Again, I’m not an expert. I’ll go into more detail regarding my hair color in the linked piece, but just something to consider Visiting a hormone or thyroid expert or functional medicine physician is another option to think about.
