There are many factors that affect how your hair looks like genetics, the weather, and pollution. This doesn’t take away the importance of hair care or make it less significant. While you cannot change your hair structure (curly, wavy, or straight), hair care can ensure that it stays in its best condition. Here are some expert tips that will help you have healthy and beautiful hair.

More Protein

Protein is very important for healthy hair and its growth in general. Hair is made from proteins which makes this substance a crucial ingredient in your hair products as well as your diet. It is advised to eat 45 grams of protein every day. You can find proteins in foods like eggs, meat, and fish. Low-fat dairy products also have proteins.

Failing to incorporate the right amount of protein in your diet can result in your hair being weak and brittle, color loss, or even loss of hair itself. However, you should avoid having protein overload because it can cause the hair to become brittle, stiff, and break easily.

Know Your Hair

An important part of taking care of your hair is actually understanding it and its needs. You should know your hair texture and structure to know the best way to deal with it. Knowing the best products to use for it will also help you when hairdressing and styling your hair because you’ll get to use the correct techniques and products.

You can’t always use the same routines and techniques as our hair changes when the weather changes. For example, when it rains or when humidity increases. It is essential to understand hair porosity and protein/moisture balance.

Have a Good Wash Day

A good washday is key to having healthy and beautiful hair. Before washing your hair, you should assess its condition and figure out if it needs more moisture or protein. You can do a quick protein moisture test before washing your hair to decide on the products you’ll be needing. You should also get to know your products’ ingredients and know which ones your hair needs the most.

Unlike what many people believe, it is never a good idea to skip shampooing or conditioning your hair. However, if you feel like shampoo is stripping your hair too much from its natural oils, you can always try out sulfate-free products or natural products that are less harsh to your scalp.

There are many different ways to take care of your hair depending on its type and needs. All hair types are different which means they require different treatments and different products. It is very important to go for regular hair cuts and trims to avoid hair breakage.

Getting your hair trimmed every 3-6 months is what experts advise. You need to always patch test any new products you’ll be using on your hair before applying it entirely on your head to find out if you have any allergic reaction to it and also to avoid using anything that will cause damage.
