Everyone wants healthier, thicker, and stronger hair. How can we get healthy hair is the most common question most beauty experts are tired of hearing—because there is no one right answer to it.
When you’re trying to grow your hair thicker and longer, the process can seem to take forever. Hair grows about six inches each year on average, according to The American Academy of Dermatology Association, but oftentimes that growth feels minimal — especially when most folks lose 50-100 hairs each day.
THICKER, HEALTHIER, SHINIER HAIR CAN BE ACHIEVED—WITH A LITTLE WORK.
GET FREQUENT TRIMS: It may seem contradictory situation, but if you want long and healthy hair, you need to get regular trims. Having frequent haircuts does not help in the faster growth of hair, they only help in getting rid of split ends. Eliminating the split ends helps your hair is growing faster.
RESIST THE URGE TO GO BLONDE: All chemicals eat up natural proteins and damage our hair. You may look chic with different hair shades, i.e. either darker or lighter tone, but be original. Apply fewer chemicals to your hair, the better they will grow.
EAT THE RIGHT FOOD: Having long, strong hair not only depend on which products you apply; it also depends on what you put into your mouth. So what foods make hair grow quicker? We should eat protein-rich diet for getting healthy hair. Increase food items like fish, beans, nuts, and whole grains. In addition to foods high in protein, vitamins A, C, and E, minerals like zinc and iron, having omega-3 fatty acids can also add to healthier hair.
USE RIGHT SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER: Different hair types require specific products that cater to their exact needs. People who have fine hair should look for volume-building shampoo and conditioners, to boost the appearance of thickness and add shine. For those with coarse hair, products that tame frizz and moisture.
DON’T OVERWASH & WASH WITH COLD WATER: Too much of a good thing can harm your hair. The number-one mistake people make is over-washing. Natural oils are best for the natural shine of your hair. Don’t use shampoos too frequently, resist their use?
NATURAL OIL, MASSAGE & CARE: Try natural oils such as coconut, argan, jojoba, almond, olive and grape seed. These are some of the best oils for hair health and can be used directly on the skin and hair. Oils like lavender and lemongrass are also in-built with many qualities that help nourish and strengthen hair. Their fragrance is also awesome.
