1. Steer clear of plastic-
bristle brushes. The proper bristles are key, Natural boar bristle hair brushes
(either round or flat brush) are best for dry hair, while soft, rubber toothed
wide-paneled brushes are best for damp hair.
2. Brush before shampooing. A
few gentle strokes on dry hair will help
to remove product buildup and scalp flakes, as
well as stimulate the scalp and promote blood flow which delivers
nutrients like oxygen to hair follicles.
3. Know your water. If your
hair looks dull or is hard to style, then the problem could be the tap water.
Because water contains natural minerals (called hard water) that can leave hair
lusterless and hard to manage and can impart a brassy, orange hue. Soft water,
on the other hand, has fewer damaging minerals. To get rid of hair of minerals
buildup, suds up every week with a clarifying shampoo.
4. Mist your ends with water before
home coloring the ends of your hair are more porous. And as a result absorb
more pigment. Wet hair does’ not absorb color as readily as dry hair.
5. Trim your troubles. As the
end of your hair get older and damaged by rough handling, they become prone to
splitting. Get regular trims at least ½ inch every four to eight weeks. Hair
grows half an inch per month, so trim to maintain healthy ends.
6. Use color protective
products. Chemicals treatments like color can damage hair because the chemicals
can penetrate the outer layer of the hair
to allow the hue to be absorbed. Color protective products are available
in the market, are especially designed to minimized dryness and keep color true
and prevent from damages.
7. Give wet water extra TLC. It
stretches and snaps and more easily then dry hair does, so be extra gentle with
it. Use the wide tooth plastic comb while hair is wet; then once it’s towel
dried, switch to a good brush. And avoid to wooden combs wood can have
microscopic divots that snag hairs.
8. Deep condition once every
two weeks, these treatments penetrates the hair shaft and straighten strands.
9. Try an ionic hair dryer.
Ions are atoms with the positive or negative charge. These particular
hairdryers bathe your hair in negative ions, which help breakup water molecules
faster and cancel out hair damaging positive ions. Plus your hair drying time
is cut in half.
10. Just use your dryer’s
nozzle. It’s the best way to prevent the frizz because it concentrates the
airflow on sections. Without the nozzle the dyers grill gets very hot; if your
hair get too close to it, it will cause damage or breakage your hair.
