6 Healthy Hair Habits for Stronger, Shinier and Beautiful Hair

Having beautiful, smooth, silky, and healthy hair helps to make you look and feel good, frames your face and can be styled in countless ways to compliment your appearance and your mood.

But let’s face it, it does require a lot of effort to have beautiful hair and most times, you may not treat your hair with the care it deserves. We may unknowingly have bad hair habits that are damaging your hair, it’s good to find out how. Great hair starts with great hair care habits so here are 6 healthy hair habits to adopt right now to keep your hair healthy, shiny and strong.

1. Avoid over-brushing

There’s nothing wrong with brushing our hair to brush out tiny hair knots. But over-brushing is another form of hair damage that you should avoid. Excessive brushing could stretch out your hair and leads to weak ends. So, try to brush once a day only and go for a plastic brush as bristle brushes can particularly be tough for hair.

2. Minimise the use of hot tools

Heat damage can lead to hair loss. As such, try to skip the hot tools for a no-heat hairstyle at least two or three times a week. But if you insist on blow-drying your hair every day, be smart about it. Don’t concentrate on the highest level on your hair for a long time. “Keep it moving on a cooler setting and lower velocity. Although it takes a little bit longer, it will be beneficial with a little more care and time. If you plan to curl or straighten your hair with a hot wand or iron, use a protective spray beforehand to protect your hair!

3. Eat a balanced diet

You already know that you are what you eat. Do you know that your hair is considered as a non-essential tissue, so your body doesn’t send protein to hair follicles first? But because our hair is mostly made up of protein, so eating a balanced diet of protein rich food is equally important! Add these items to your grocery list:

  • Fish
  • Meat
  • Eggs
  • Beans

Other good sources of hair food such as berries, spinach, and avocados, along with anything else rich in vitamins C and E will help to boost collagen production, resulting in stronger hair strands.

4. Choose the right shampoo

Using the wrong shampoo and styling agent products can cause significant hair damage. Look out for products that are right for your hair type — oily, normal, or dry to target any hair problems that you may have, such as dandruff.

Try to avoid shampoos with harsh ingredients, such as ammonium lauryl sulfate or sodium lauryl sulfate. And remember, cost doesn’t necessarily indicate the quality of a product!

5. Finish your hair wash routine with a cool blast

Once you’ve shampooed and conditioned your hair with lukewarm water because anything too hot can actually dry out your strands. So the next time after you washed your hair, complete your shower with a blast of cool water! This frigid rinse helps to close hair cuticles, giving your strands a smoother look. Plus, it helps maintain moisture and seal in your hair color if you’ve got a dye job.

6. Deep condition every week

When your hair is dry and damaged, brittle strands may break off. Conditioning your hair nourishes and strengthens the hair shaft to improve elasticity. Also, conditioning your hair regularly makes combing through knots and snags less painful!  When hair has been conditioned, it’s easier to detangle damp strands without damaging the cuticle. Your hair will be softer and smoother, making it easier to brush and style. Need a new product? Here are our favorite deep-conditioner for every hair type.
