If your hair is dry, try this do-it-yourself conditioning treatment. Once you have washed your hair and wrung out some of the wetness, apply your conditioner and then pop on a shower cap for a few minutes. The conditioner will penetrate the hair shaft as the heat from your scalp builds up under the shower cap.
Be sure your hair retains moisture to avoid becoming brittle and dry. This can cause it to break. Water temperature can help with shampooing. Try rinsing the shampoo from your hair using cool water. The cold water causes hair follicles and strands to contract and locks in the moisture from the shampoo.
You should not ever tug or rub your hair using a towel when you are drying your hair. This can make hair frizzy and stretch it out which makes the strands break. Instead, pat, blot or gently squeeze excess moisture from your hair, or wrap it loosely in a towel. Unless you are using a very wide-toothed comb, wait to brush or comb until your hair is dry.
You can damage your hair by blow drying. Ditch high heat, and use the coolest setting on your hair dryer. Use your fingers to work through knots, so you don’t damage hair by tugging and tearing it with a brush.
If you utilize a blow dryer, make sure it is moved around frequently so it does not stay focused on one spot. That way, serious damage resulting from heat can be prevented.
Good haircare will help you to project a confident and likable self image. It’s just human nature that people judge others by their looks. Try using these tips to get the message across.
