#HealthBytes: Top 5 hacks to maintain hair health
Want long, silky, beautiful-looking hair? Everyone does. However, the bad news is that it's not an easy job, and there's a long list of factors that go into determining the health of your hair. Apart from healthy diet, sleep-patterns and hygienic environmental exposure, there are certain healthy hair care tips you can follow for better, long-term hair health. Here are a few lesser-known tips.
Combing and trimming tips for better hair health
Always comb wet hair with utmost care as they're fragile and thus, prone to breakage. For this, get a wide-toothed comb, and run it from roots to ends gently, to avoid breakage of hair. Also, make sure to get your hair trimmed every few weeks to get rid of the irritating, rough split ends.
Shampoo and conditioning tips for healthier hair
Avoid washing your hair everyday, as it weakens the health. And whenever you wash your hair, apply conditioner on the ends after washing. Rinse the conditioner off with cold water. It'll give shine and strength to your hair. Also, try to use the same brand of shampoo and conditioner each time.
Check the labels; Avoid coloring
It is advisable to check the labels of shampoos, conditioners, or for that matter, all the hair care products that you use. This will help you avoid any allergens, and choose the right products for yourself. In case you have dry hair, then you must avoid coloring. A better alternative is to use natural hair lighteners like lemon, chamoline tea and honey.
