Our hair is our crowning glory. It gives us confidence and shows our style and character.

The reason I am writing this is to give it a time to love and care our hair. In a busy schedule, our hair-care routine might not be enough to what our hair actually needs.

Before anything else, I just want to show you three facts about hair.

1. Hair is the second fastest growing tissue in the body next to bone marrow.

2. Hair grows on average of between 0.5 and 1.7 centimeters per month.

3. The hair gets pushed up through the skin as it grows. 

Our hair needs protein.

Hair needs protein for it to be healthy; to help strengthen its roots as it grows. 

Protein is important because it is the building blocks of tissues in our body. Severe protein deficiency could actually lead to hair loss. 

How to take care of our hair?

I hope these simple tips that I have gathered could help you provide your hair the best care it deserves!

1. Wash your hair frequently

This is to remove the dirt from your hair and scalp. Hair is the one that catches most dirt from time to time. You can have shower in the morning and night.

2. Use good quality shampoo

Better yet, use a chemical-free shampoo because it is better to use natural elements in your hair to prevent damages. Use shampoo every other day or even twice a week is possible.

3. Find a conditioner that fits your hair

A hair conditioner is helpful in nourishing your hair and giving its supplemental needs. It also treats the damages but be warned that some hair conditioners are too much for our hair. If it’s too strong, it may cause bigger damage than it was supposed to cure. 

4. Comb using a wide-tooth comb

Follow this tip so you would be able to get risk of the risk of damaging your own hair. Our hair is fragile when it is wet so never use brush. If you do not have a wide-tooth comb, you can use your fingers as an alternative to fix the tangles and remove the knots.

5. Put some oil in your hair 

Oil prevents your hair from being dried up. Actually, it is important for your scalp-health. You can apply oil and let it stay in your hair for two hours, but, never leave it overnight.

6. Trim regularly

Having regular trims prevents having split and breakage. 

 Other ways to take care of your hair

To take care of your hair is to prioritize your general health:

Drink plenty of water

Stay hydrated always. Aim for the eight glasses of water every day. This keeps your whole body healthy including your hair.

Live a stress-free life

Though stress is inevitable, find a way to detoxify your life. Try having yoga, exercising, or meditating as part of your everyday routine. Too much stress can lead to hair loss

Eat healthy

What your intakes are will show on your body including your hair. Practice to have a balanced diet and be sensible of the food you eat.  

DON’Ts FOR YOUR HAIR

You might be doing some of these things and let this serve as a warning to stop doing them.

1. Don’t blow dry your hair.

Our hair really looks good if we used hair blower to dry it off and it can save time but the heat affects the hair and it causes damage.

2. Don’t use rubber bands.

Rubber bands intend to pull your hair and snuggle it up from the follicle. Find good ponytails to use, the ones that are soft with hair.

3. Don’t continuously curl, straighten, and bleach your hair.

Styling your hair isn’t bad but don’t overdo it. You can curl, straighten, or bleach your hair occasionally. If this is done repeatedly, permanent damage may arise on our hair. 

4. Don’t brush your hair a lot.

Combing your hair multiple times isn’t good because too much friction removes the moisture of your hair. 

5. Don’t spray perfume.

Perfumes contains chemicals and chemicals intend to dry out your hair. Treat your hair naturally instead. 

I hope you gained a little knowledge in this short article of mine. Let’s aim for a stronger and healthier hair!

All the love!
