13 Most Effective Tips For Maintaining Healthy Hair

Here are our tips for healthy hair that will give you long and lustrous hair like the Disney Princess!

1. Pre-shampoo with apple cider vinegar:

It could be used as a pre-shampoo treatment to help break up product residue and also as a post-shampoo rinse for added shine.

2. Only shampoo from your roots to the mid-shaft of your hair:

When you rinse it out it'll cleanse the rest of the hair shaft.

3. Avoid silicones, sulfates, and alcohols in your shampoo and conditioner:

Always Look for the Shampoos and Conditioners those are "sulfate- and silicone-free."

4. Try not to brush your hair when it's wet:

It is one of the biggest causes of hair breakage.

5. Honey is your friend:

It moisturizes and has antibacterial properties that help with scalp conditions like dandruff.

6. Rinse and condition in cold water:

Rinse and condition in cold water to help lock in conditioning agents. Cold water helps seal in moisture and shine.

7. Coconut oil also helps retain moisture:

If your hair is extremely dry, try using coconut oil on the ends. It's a good daily moisturizer and if used sparingly, it's pretty much non-greasy.

8. Sleep on a silk pillowcase:

Silk pillowcases are softer on the hair when you're tossing and turning at night, so they prevent breakage and moisture loss.

9. Back away from the heating tools:

If you're going to style your hair with a hot tool, make sure you use a heat protectant spray first because Heat styling tools can dry out and fry your hair, which can lead to split ends, breakage, and overall damage.

10. If you swim a lot, condition your hair BEFORE getting in:

Avoid damage by wetting your hair and conditioning beforehand. Your hair will absorb the clean water and conditioner instead of the chlorine.

11. Olive oil, grape seed oil, and avocado make great hair masks:

By using Olive Oil, Grapeseed Oil, and Avocado Masks, you can get massive conditioning in your hair.

12. DON'T wash every day:

Avoid too much contact with chemicals (shampoos, spray) and don't wash daily with these products.

13. Don't wrap your hair in a towel after washing; use a T-shirt:

A T-shirt is lightweight enough to soak up some of the moisture and it won't lead to the frizz that a terrycloth towel can cause. You should also make sure to squeeze excess water out of your hair not rub it dry because that causes frizz and breakage.
