It can be a tough job to keep your hair looking great but also healthy. Unfortunately, once you start losing the health the look is impossible. There are a few things you can do to limit your styling damage while still making sure your hair looks great every time.
1.Choose a Shape that is Easy
Don’t work against your hair. You want your hair to have a shape and a style. That means you need to pick a shape that your hair is not going to fight against. While you can go another direction sometimes, try to stay with what your hair likes to do and then build a style from there.
2.Don’t Skimp on Maintenance
It is so easy to not go in for a haircut or to skip deep treatments but this is death for your hair. Once ends begin to split, the damage grows and the look deteriorates. Take the time to do the proper maintenance for your hair type.
3.Patch Test for New Products
Whether it is do-it-yourself color or just a new product, patch test your hair. Usually everything is fine, but you don’t want to put something on your hair all over to find out that it isn’t. Don’t become a horror story for others to learn from.
4.Be Kind to Your Hair
This means taking the time to do detangling while it is dry, avoiding metal pieces on hair bands and even using heat protectants. All of these little steps help keep your hair healthy over time. You will notice a big difference after you are gentle with your hair for a while.
5.Spend the Money on the Right Tools
Straightening irons and good blow dryers can be a bit expensive. These items tend to last a long time and are worth the investment. If the machines cause less damage and are better for your hair, you will have a style that always looks good. Cheap items tend to have to be replaced often.
6.Don’t Overdo It
You don’t have to do a ton to your hair to make it look great. If you are working hairstyles that take a ton of steps, reconsider what you are doing. This causes damage and takes up much of your time. Pick simple and cute hairstyles, as you are more likely to stick with the protocols.
7.Buy the Right Product
This means if you have dry hair, buy for dry hair. Trying to make a product fit because it does something you think you will like for other hair types is a wishful thinking scenario that never pays off. You have your hair and you have to deal with it.
If you follow these simple rules, you are sure to have an easier time doing your hair daily. You will find that your hair is healthy and in turn you are happy. You might even be surprised at how much less time it takes to fix your hair in the morning!
