Your hair plays a big factor in determining how you look and perceive yourself. There are no secrets to beautiful hair! With some easy care and maintenance, you'll feel like a million bucks. Here's some simple hair care tips and tricks (for women & men) to deal with problem hair that won't cooperate even on the best of days -- and keep it healthy & shiny.
Care & Styling
*Avoid excessive blow drying and air dry hair whenever possible. This will help prevent split ends and drying.
*Eating a well-balanced diet will ensure healthy, shiny hair.
*Hair is most fragile when it's wet, so blot it dry and don't brush it. Use a wide-toothed comb and gently pull through from the bottom, up. Better yet, finger-comb it for a fluffy style.
*Use only mousses and hair gels without alcohol to avoid a drying affect.
*Use shampoo that is PH balanced and designed for your hair type.
*Use a clarifying shampoo when you need to remove hair spray and gel build up.
*Switch shampoo brands often to prevent product build-up.
*Don't use hot water when shampooing or rinsing your hair.
*For static electricity in the Winter, try running a fabric softener sheet through your hair for better control.
*Don't believe that theory about brushing your hair 100 strokes every day. That will only cause damage and split ends.
*Don't wash your hair every day if it's dry because shampoo and heat appliances will make it brittle. Who's going to know?
*Use a cool setting on your blow dryer. This will take longer, but it will make your hair more shiny and manageable.
*If your hair is oily and you don't have time for a wash, rub a dab of baby powder through it. This works better for blonde hair.
*After swimming, wash your hair as soon as possible to remove chlorine residue.
*Beer and Mayonnaise will condition your hair in a pinch.
*For extra absorption, try conditioning your hair when it's dry. Leave on for several minutes, rinse. Shampoo and condition as usual.
*Care for your hair as you do your skin. Healthy hair is much more attractive than dull, lifeless hair.
