Healthy Hair Basics Tips


Haircut Styles presents Basics for Healthy Hair

Healthy hair works from the inside out. That means, if you want to have great locks, you have to start with good nutrition. Ample protein, fresh produce, and water are the keys to getting great looking hair. Vitamin E is also great for a healthy shine. So, try to add some whole grains or nuts into your diet as well. Once you’ve built a foundation of hair-healthy food, caring for your strands is the next step in keeping them healthy.

Healthy Hair Tips 2008:
Washing your hair regularly is important, but over-washing can ruin a healthy head of hair. For most people, washing every two to three days is plenty. Also, choosing the right shampoo and conditioner for your hair is important. This all depends on the type of hair you have, so you will need to get familiar with hot moist, thick, and wavy your locks are. Need help deciding what’s best? Consult a stylist for a second opinion.

The same is true when styling hair. You need to choose the right products for your locks. Finally, over doing it with heating appliances, like a blow drier, can fry strands. This is one of the most common ways women ruin their hair. So, use a heat protecting product and keep your appliances on the lowest setting possible. If you follow these tips, you are sure to have healthy hair for years to come.

Ultimate Guide to Growing Healthy Long Hair



Over the years, hair becomes duller, rougher or worse starts thinning out. But all isn’t lost; you can still get healthier and shinier hair by just following a few age old recipes and some new age products. For starters use less of the blow dryer and let your hair naturally dry out. Extensive use of blow dryer can cause damage to the hair ends and the roots. Use shine serums and volumizing products to give bounce to the hair.

Switch for lighter conditioners for the hair. The heavy conditioners tend to weigh down the hair always apply the conditioner to the ends of the hair only. You don’t need to massage your head with it. Apply it the right way and get healthier hair. Use clarifying shampoos that strip away the products that have been used on your hair. The product buildup can hamper the quality and growth of your hair.

Always trim your hair often. Damage to your hair will move up from the ends and the only way to stop the damage in its tracks is to remove it as soon as it happens. Trim hair a half inch every month or so (the average rate of hair growth) if you are maintaining your length. If you are actively growing your hair, trim it a half inch every three or four months. In between trims it is beneficial to sit in bright light and snip any splits off the ends of individual hairs with a good pair of hair cutting scissors that you explain to the men in your house are absolutely not to be used for anything else, especially prying off bottle caps when they can't find the bottle opener, which is of course in the drawer where it belongs if they'd just look. I digress. If you are persistent with this method, regular trims may be able to be postponed even longer. If your hair begins to show damage, it is important to trim it more often! Damaged hair doesn't grow, it breaks, and damage will only increase with time.

Avoid extreme diets. If your body isn't getting enough nutrition, neither is your hair. Even if you try to avoid fat, it's essential that you don't completely eliminate all fat from your diet. Your hair (and body) will surely suffer for it. If you tend to restrict calories then be sure to take a multivitamin (any comprehensive one will do) to make sure both your body and your hair get the daily nourishment they need.

Haircut styles: How to get shiny hair

How to get shiny hair

Vitamin E
Most of us have great shiny and lustrous hair, but we simply forget to take care of them. Here’s how you can get the shine back in your hair. Eat food that has lots of Vitamin E, both skin and hair require lots of it. Include lots of green leafy vegetables, nuts and brown rice. This will make your hair healthier and make it shine.

How to get shiny hair

After your shower, rinse your hair in cold water. Cold water smoothness the hair cuticle making it shinier. Of course conditioning is very important. Just add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to a gallon of water and then rinse with hi mixture after you have shampooed your hair. The other alternative is to use acidic conditioners after the rinse to make hair look shiny.

Use treated shampoos to retain the color

If you have colored hair, then use shampoos that are especially meant for colored hair. This will ensure that the color stays locked in and isn’t discharged. If colors are discharged then the hair can become quite dull and lose its shine. Better still get a transparent hair color done that adds little pigments to the hair shaft. This makes the hair shine when light falls on the hair.
