To start the year off right by taking care of your hair, here are some essential tips to keep your hair healthy and looking stylish:
1. Do not smother the hair
Avoid tight hairstyles that can cause pulling on the scalp, such as tight ponytails or braids. Let your hair breathe.
2. Use suitable products
Choose shampoos and conditioners that are free of sulfates and parabens, which can dry out hair and irritate the scalp. Opt for nourishing formulas, with ingredients like aloe vera, rosemary, or baobab oil.
3. Hydration and nutrition
Apply moisturizing hair masks once a week to restore shine and softness. Well-hydrated hair is stronger and more resistant to external aggressions.
4. Lightness and protection
Avoid heavy products that can weigh down hair. To protect hair from heat (straighteners, hair dryers) and cold, apply a heat-protective treatment before any exposure to heat.
5. Healthy eating
Hair needs nutrients to stay healthy. A diet rich in vitamins A, C, E and omega-3 fatty acids helps strengthen hair from the inside out.
6. Regular cuts
To prevent split ends and maintain a neat look, trim the ends approximately every 3 to 4 months.
