Dos And Donts Of Smooth And Healthy Hair For Everyone

By Eugene Yeng


Everyone imagines their mane long and flowing. People spend billions of dollars each year trying to attain the image of healthy strands. They do not realise that some of the actions that they take are the reason why their hair may not be healthy. The top dos and donts of smooth healthy hair can be followed to stop the damage and even possibly save you a few trips to the salon and keep money in your purse.

If you wash your hair yourself you may not do anything special to your strands. If you rub your hair you may be causing friction which can make it break. Always de-tangle your strands prior to washing. This helps keep your locks as healthy as possible.

Just because a shampoo is expensive and is a name brand does not mean that it is the best. Most companies use sodium lauryl sulfate as an ingredient in shampoo. This is harsh and does not benefit your locks. Do not buy any bottles that contain this ingredient. It will make your strands dry and no amount of conditioner will supply moisture back into it.

Moisture applied on a daily basis helps keep your locks smooth and supple. A good conditioner is one that will be light and will not sit on top without penetrating the follicles. Anyone that has dry or damaged locks may need an additional conditioning treatment to help get it healthy.

Wet strands can be damaged easily. Brushing is not good for wet locks. It can break off with this action. Allow it to dry before you attempt to brush the strands. Any breakage that happens takes a while to grow back. This can make your style appear uneven and your stylist may request that it be cut. If you stop brushing while wet it can make a chance in the length of your mane over time.

Although most people will use a blow dryer, curling iron, flat iron or other pieces of equipment to get locks dry they should not be used often. Heat damages your strands. They become dry and harsh. The shaft becomes rough and attains split ends and knots. The only way to get rid of it is to cut it off. Heat can also make your mane appear frizzy and dry. Try to air dry when possible. Using rollers to set your locks can also cut down on damage. These methods may take longer to get dry, but they keep your locks healthier.

The right equipment is key to a healthy mane. Owning the wrong comb and brush can be detrimental to your mane. A rough brush can pull your strands out from the follicle. A cheap comb can tangle your locks.

The dos and donts of smooth healthy hair will help you attain the beautiful mane you desire. You can stop making damaging mistakes that prevent growth. Your strands will benefit from these tips.
