If you take good care of it, your hair has a good look.
But how do you keep your hair healthy?
Below is a list of the top 100 tips for taking good care of your hair:
Top 100 #hair care tips
1. Give your hair an intensive treatment at least once a month, even if it is healthy. If your hair is dry or damaged, you can do this weekly. For this you can use a hair mask, or a normal nourishing conditioner that you leave on your hair for a long time, or a treatment with warm oil.
2. Avoid rubbing your hair as much as possible. Don't sleep with your hair loose or use a satin pillowcase. This will reduce tangles. If your hair is very long and gets caught between car windows, seat belts, doors, or even under your butt when you sit down, it's important to remember that any of these things can damage your hair. Wear your hair braided or updo when you can to avoid daily friction and damage. Because, whatever all manufacturers of hair care products may claim, for damaged hair only scissors help!
3. Don't collect your hair all on top of your head when you wash it, then you're asking for tangles.
Apply your shampoo to the roots only and wash your scalp. Then you can add some water to distribute it more easily to your ends, or you can also just rinse the shampoo without massaging the shampoo in your length first: the foam runs over your hair when rinsing and cleans your hair sufficiently. without being too degreasing and drying - this way you avoid the greasy roots / dry ends phenomenon.
An even better method is to first apply coniditoner to your hair length before using shampoo on your scalp: your ends will benefit and they are protected from the detergents in the shampoo. After massaging the shampoo into your scalp, rinse the conditioner and shampoo together.
4. Use conditioner after every wash, even after the above method! You mainly use this on your points and your height. If you have a dry scalp, you can apply the conditioner all over your hair, otherwise it's best to stick to the length alone. Gently detangle your hair while the conditioner is working and while you rinse it out, this will make your hair easier to detangle after shampooing.
5. You can also use conditioner only to wash your hair. Instead of degreasing your hair like shampoo, the conditioner loosens all the dirt from your hair so you just rinse it out.
The most important thing to take care of is to use enough conditioner and leave it on for at least ten minutes, massage your scalp and rinse thoroughly.
6. Rinse your hair with water as cold as possible. This will close the "hair cuticles", reducing the chance of your hair getting tangled and breaking, but at the same time you will also get smoother, shinier hair. You may not believe it, but you get used to it, and it will give you a nice boost!
7. If your hair is very coarse, or very curly, or if you haven't followed the advice in Step 1 and your hair is damaged, you can use a leave-in conditioner on top of your regular conditioner that you do rinse. You can also use a small amount of your favorite coniditioner or a few drops of oil. Be careful with this though, your hair can easily look greasy again. If you don't have enough, you can still take a little extra.
8. Be extremely careful with your hair when it is wet. Do not rub your hair dry with a towel, but squeeze your length gently between the towel, or wrap your hair in a large towel. NEVER brush your hair when it is wet as it is the most vulnerable. Use a wide-toothed comb to detangle your wet hair. Actually, it is always better to comb instead of brush, with the exception of the next step.
9. Be careful what you style your hair with. When using a brush, use a natural brush made of fine hair. These are useful for distributing sebum (your hair's natural protective oil) and removing loose hair. If your hair is so thick that a fine bristle bristle won't get through, there are several smooth wooden brushes on the market that are kind to your hair.
10. Using a wide-toothed comb will be much less damaging, but it is important to choose a comb without rough or sharp edges scraping your hair. If you can't find a seamless comb, you can also smooth the edges of your comb with a fine file.
11. Comb your hair several times a day to keep it out. Working in small sections, start combing the ends and work your way up to the roots piece by piece. Tangles are a tough job for your hair, and it is better to avoid them. Small knots that cannot be combed out of your hair, even with the help of conditioner, should be cut from your hair, not pulled out!
12. Never, ever, tease your hair! This will destroy the healthiest hair in no time!
13. Completely detangle your hair before washing it. Once all tangles are gone, you can brush it with your fine-bristled brush to remove loose hair, this will reduce the chance of tangles while washing (and your drain will be less likely to clog).
14. Let your hair get dirty now and then. The natural oil your scalp produces is good for your hair. So if you don't have to go out, put your hair up so it's out of your way and out of your mind. Don't forget to brush it before washing to spread the oil on your hair, and don't forget to open the door when the phone rings!
15. The first step in growing your hair long is by far the most important. This step is an absolute must if you want healthy hair for any length, but it is also the most difficult step. If you decide to grow your hair, it is better to cut the existing damage to your hair. You can do this by cutting split ends individually or by a haircut. Remember, if your hair reaches your waist, your ends can be up to six years old, and during that time they will be damaged anyway no matter how careful you are.
16. If damaged hair is not cut, it can cause hair to break, causing it to split again. To have healthy long hair it is therefore better to start with healthy hair.
17. Trim your hair regularly. If your hair is damaged, the damage can go up further. To avoid this, it is better to cut the damage immediately if it occurs.
18.If you want to maintain your current hair length, you can cut an inch or a half per month (this is the average growth). If you want to grow your hair long, you can cut it 1 - 1.5 centimeters every three or four months. You can cut split ends between haircuts. For this you sit in a clear light (the sun is best), so you can see the dots better. Only use good hairdressing scissors for this, and only use those scissors to cut hair, otherwise it will become dull and damage your hair even more.
If you do this regularly, the haircuts can be delayed even longer.
19. However, if your hair starts to show damage, you should cut it more often. Damaged hair no longer gets - it breaks, and over time the damage only worsens.
20. If you don't have anyone you trust enough to cut your hair, try to find a salon that specializes in long hair, or at least employs a specialist. Remember that most hairdressers like to cut, after all, someone who only pops in once every few months is of little use to them. If your hair is short and styled, you go to the hairdresser regularly, and you always spend money to maintain your haircut. If your hairdresser is trying to convince you that your long, healthy hair should be cut, you better get out! Only consider "advice" given by a hairdresser, family or friends who want the best for you and who know what you have in mind. Otherwise you will smile nicely and ignore every word. You are not too old, too thin, too small, too gray, anything to have long hair!
21. Avoid using heat on your hair as much as possible. No hairdryers, no curling irons, no hot curlers, and certainly no flat irons! If you absolutely want to blow dry your hair, keep it as short as possible, when your hair is almost dry, and with the temperature as low as possible. If you still want to use heated curlers, use soft curlers, absolutely NO velcro curlers! Metal curlers are safe when you pull out the brush.
22. If you use the curling iron or flat iron regularly, healthy long hair is not for you.
23. Don't use harsh chemicals on your hair. Absolutely no permanents and no peroxide! If you still want to color, use hair color without peroxide or henna. Hair coloring with a low peroxide content is acceptable, but repeated use will eventually affect the health of your hair, it is inevitable. No perms or straightening! These chemicals break down your hair's internal structure to rebuild it artificially. Avoid them absolutely.
24. Avoid chlorine and salt water. Wash your hair with shampoo as soon as possible after swimming. Minimize the drying effect by completely wet your hair with plain water before swimming so that it can absorb less chlorine or seawater, or you can also apply a conditioner to your hair and updo or braid it to keep your hair more or less protected while swimming.
25. If you swim often, you should wear a good swimming cap. Even then, you can coat your hair with coniditioner before swimming so that it can take full advantage of the extra body heat that is generated while moving.
26. If you spend a lot of time in the sun, use a conditioner with a sun factor, or cover your hair with a scarf, bandana, cap or hat.
27. Wearing your hair loose often will damage it more quickly. The hair rubs against chairs, walls and on your clothes and can therefore be damaged and shine less. So wear it also, in a ponytail or a nice braid, to protect it that way.
28. Try to use rubber bands without a metal piece. The metal piece firstly provides less stretch, but this can also damage your hair. You can simply find these metal-free rubber bands in the drugstore, including from the Zenner brand.
29. Do not brush your hair too often to avoid hair loss and damage. Also pay attention to the shape of the brush; it is better to use a brush with round ends to avoid friction and friction. Drink plenty of water. Your hair needs moisture to keep it supple and by drinking water you maintain the moisture skin position.
30. Try to drink about a liter of water a day!
