Three facts about healthy hairs

Tips for healthy hairs

1. Use the right towel for drying

If frizz is a problem for your hair, you may want to consider replacing your hair towel. Your typical bath towel can pull on your hair, creating opportunities for frizz; however, a microfiber towel is gentler on hair and can help reduce frizz. If you have curly hair and need to retain some moisture to allow your styling products to work their magic, a towel like this will help wick away only excessive water. If a microfiber towel isn't in your budget, no worries. A clean cotton shirt will offer similar results.

                                                                               

2. There's a hair mask for everything

Whether you're dealing with dry hair, greasy hair, or an irritated scalp, there's a DIY mask for you. While there are a number of recipes online, most masks for dry, damaged hair include coconut oil for its moisturizing properties. Both warm coconut oil and olive oil work as excellent hydrating masks when applied to dry hair. These masks can be left in for an hour or overnight if your hair is extra damaged.
For greasy hair, try applying a mask of one egg white and the juice of half a lemon to your hair. The fatty acids in the eggs will help restore luster and and the lemon juice will absorb excess oil and grease. Let it sit under a shower cap for 30 to 45 minutes. If you're dealing with an irritated scalp or dandruff, consider trying a mask with one part apple cider vinegar, one part water or green tea, and a few drops of tea tree oil. An apple cider vinegar that's labeled "with the mother" has the necessary acidity to rebalance the pH of your scalp, similar to how a toner works for your skin. Spray or massage into your scalp and let it sit for 10 to 30 minutes before rinsing.
                                                              

3. Don't forget your scalp care

The health of your scalp can have a major impact on the overall health of your hair, particularly when it comes to hair loss. A daily apple cider vinegar rinse, like the one mentioned above, is an excellent way to realign the pH of your scalp, reduce itchiness, and promote recovery. If you think buildup from leave-in products, dry shampoo, or everyday grime may be an issue for you, try a scalp scrub.

If you're dealing with dandruff, try using a specially formulated dandruff shampoo a few times a week to cleanse hair and soothe your scalp. And remember to avoid shampoo and conditioner ingredients that will irritate, like alcohols, sulfates, phthalates, fragrances and PEG/PPG.

For a daytime routine, remember to start with a cleanser to remove dust and debris from your face. If a toner is part of your skincare routine, use this next. If you use an essence to aid in serum absorption, this is next. From here on, you'll want to apply serums, targeted products, moisturizers, and SFP from lightest and wateriest to heaviest. For example, the next step after an essence should be a serum, then targeted products, then moisturizer, then an SPF.
