20 Great Habits for Stronger, Shinier and Healthier Hair
10. Dry your hair well before you go to sleep, if you don’t want to have a bad hair day when you wake up. Wet hair is much more delicate and prone to breaking.
11. Avoid heat stylers such as hot straighteners or curling irons, and never use them without a spray-in heat protectant. The high temperatures of these devices weaken the fibers of your hair.
12. Argan oil has a lot of beneficial effects on your hair. Use it for split ends and a dry scalp, or as a leave-in conditioner.
13. Do not brush your hair when it’s wet – it makes it weaker and susceptible to breaking. Instead, use a wide-tooth comb while in the shower after you apply your hair conditioner.
14. Do not dye or bleach your hair. Dyes contain harsh chemicals, such as ammonia, which causes significant amounts of damage to the hair and may also cause scalp burns.
16. If you have damaged hair that is prone to split ends, you should trim your hair every eight weeks to keep it healthy.
17. Consume biotin. This vitamin promotes the growth of your nails and hair and facilitates skin regeneration.
19. Eat well. Your hair is nourished by everything you eat. If you avoid protein, natural fats and vitamins in your diet, your hair will be affected.
20. Nourish your hair regularly with natural or commercially-made masks rich in vitamins and oils.
