Sometimes “good hair day” come right out of the blue, when your hair looks fabulous just before you’re about to hop in the shower, often just as soon as you make up your mind to get a new hair cut or colored hair from your chosen beauty products because you can’t do anything else with it!
What makes it’s so hard to get your hair to be what you want?
The mysteries of maintaining beautiful hair should have been uncovered by knowing full well that you’d be generously lucky for your hair to look half as nice, but for many women finding a simple way to keep their hair looking wonderful is as elusive as it was to women centuries before.
Hair is not a living part of your body and you needn’t wash your hair repeatedly to ensure remarkable results for optimum health and beauty.
One of the key elements to having shiny, healthy hair is to allow the natural oils in the scalp to lubricate it. The hair closest to the scalp benefits from natural sebum oils the most while longer hair can become dry and brittle from a lack of these oils.
Shampoo, no matter how exotic ingredients on it, performs a simple job of removing pollution, excess oils and styling product build up from the hair. Remember, the more you wash your hair and the more styling products you apply, the greater the amount of buildup that adheres to your silky strands.
All of your hair needs gentle cleansing but it is the top two or three inches that is most weighed down with natural oils and dulling hair products. You can reduce the amount of oils removed from longer areas of hair which can be over dried from the stripping of oils and extended contact with shampoo by concentrating the washing in that area.
And if you simply must wash your hair every time you shower, so be it. Do shampoo and condition your hair without the blow dryer during the warmer months. Twist your hair up and secure it to your head with a hairpin or some bobby pins with a sexy style in some little claw clips or pull your hair back into a classic braid.
Every once in a while, forego the routine washing by twisting your hair up into a towel or piling it into a shower cap before you step into the shower.
Your hair will look its most beautiful when you choose a style that requires the least amount of product and heat damage. Make a protection to your hair with conditioners is key, but choosing a hair style that suits the texture of yours will eliminate the need for more torturous styling tools.
Frizzy and dry hair can benefit from the application of silicone based products with a little goes a long way and concentrate the product on the ends of your hair.
Keep the blow dryer at least six inches from your hair when blow drying to prevent excessive damage from the heat.
By blow drying in the direction of the shaft (down the length of hair), will create a smoother appearance.
For coloring and perming, you can use chemicals anytime in your hair but make sure your hair is in a healthy condition before applying this kind of treatment. Stay away from hair lighteners that contain peroxide. Peroxide can cause damage to your hair and change the color drastically.
If you have color treated hair, using a conditioner with SPF protection will prevent your hair color from fading. Overuse of these treatments could affect the results of the products and damage hair beyond repair.
Cutting your hair by remove dried and split ends will make your hair look shinier and feel thicker. Trimming the hair every 6 to 8 weeks will eliminate a lot of split ends and damaged hair to keep it looking its best.
Recently, fashion still influences a woman’s hairstyle but that doesn’t mean you have to subject your hair to needless damage. Take advantage of the tips below on caring properly for your “good hair day”.
