Looking for tips on how to take care of your normal hair? Consider your search complete. Read on for expert-approved advice to keep your normal hair looking and feeling its best!
How many times have you felt jealous of those luscious and long hair? Everyone has at some point or the other. While some people are born with beautiful hair, some are stuck with dull and frizzy hair. The growing pollution adds on to the hair problems which makes it more irritating to tame those unmanageable hair. But with right kind of solution, you can achieve the look you have always longed for.
Let’s just say you have normal hair. (It’s probably a good assumption if you’ve made it this far in the story, but I digress.) Normal hair is often
characterized by a healthy amount of hair shine that’s not quite oily. It’s typically soft to the touch and easy to manage. In fact, some would say it’s quite lucky to have this hair type. While normal hair types may have won the easy-to-care-for-hair lottery, they’re not completely off the hook. Without consistent hair care, maintenance and follow through on good hair care habits, they too can experience woes often associated with other hair types, including hair frizz, hair moisture loss, and excess hair volume. Ahead, we share tips on how to take care of normal hair…the right way.
1. SHAMPOO HAIR SPARINGLY:
Traditional shampoos can strip the hair of moisture, especially when used too often. Instead of lathering up every day, stick to a schedule of two to three times per week. Since normal hair is typically not prone to excess grease the way oily hair is, this should pose no issue.
2. APPLY A WEEKLY HAIR MASK:
With all the aggressors your hair can come in contact with daily—think: pollution, UV rays, chlorinated water, excessive styling—we recommend giving your strands a little extra TLC every now and again. To help improve the overall quality of your hair and address specific concerns, hair-masks-what-are-they-all-about. Hair masks are easy to use, take very little time, and can be worn while multi-tasking. Win-win-win.
3. BE GENTLE WHEN BRUSHING HAIR:
Forget what you may have heard. You don’t have to brush your hair strands 100 times a day for perfect hair. In fact, you’ll probably be best served not to. Unless your hair is curly, brush your hair when it’s dry. Hair that’s wet and filled with moisture is more fragile than hair that’s dry, which can result in hair breakage and snapping when brushed. Also, be gentle! Start a few inches off the bottom and slowly work your way up the strand in small sections using short strokes. Removing hair tangles this way is much more efficient at keeping unwanted hair damage at bay.
4. GET REGULAR HAIR TRIMS:
The easiest way to remove split ends is to get—yup, you guessed it!—regular hair trims. Visit your hairdresser for a trim every six to eight weeks. The longer you wait, the more hair damage can ensue as the split travels further and further up your hair shaft.
5. LET HAIR DRY NATURALLY:
Are blow-dryers, curling irons, and flat irons staple tools in your hair styling routine? Perhaps it’s time to reconsider. Excess heat can wreak havoc on your hair, especially when used daily. We recommend dialing back on your use of hot styling tools in favor of air-drying. If you don’t want to leave the house with hair that’s sopping (we don’t blame you), use a microfiber towel to get as much water out of your hair as possible. If you absolutely must use these hair tools, apply a heat protectant product and use the device on the lowest temperature setting.
Some Other Tips:
- Eat a balanced diet to have healthy hair.
- Choose a sulfur-free shampoo for your hair. Also, be careful of the kind of product you apply in your hair. Conditioning is essential for healthy hair. Deep conditioning once or twice a week can stimulate hair growth.
- Washing your hair with cold water can keep the moisture in your hair and give you shiny and soft hair.
- Do not get a haircut every now and then, but it is necessary to trim your hair every 6 months to get rid of split ends and keep them healthy.
- Only wash your hair once or twice a week to keep your scalp from losing its moisture.
Now I am suggesting some very important ingredients for your hair:
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is known for its hair care properties and has been used as an ingredient in many hair care products. It is considered as a natural conditioning agent for hair. It helps in restoring hair’s shine and softness. The conditioning properties of aloe vera improve strength and suppleness of your hair. Aloe vera gel has a similar chemical composition of keratin, the naturally occurring protein in hair cells, which allows for easier penetration in the hair and gives you frizz-free hair.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar, (two teaspoonfuls), when mixed with a cup of water, makes an excellent hair rinse. Douse your hair after washing and follow with a light conditioner. The acetic acid gets rid of residue from product buildup and makes your hair shiny and lustrous.
Eggs
Eggs contain a lot of nutrients which can restore the damage done to your hair. It nourishes the hair and make them shiny by improving their texture. It improves the quality of the hair and adds shine to dull hair. Prepare an egg mask and apply it once or twice a week to get best results.
Curd
Curd is rich in vitamins B5 and D, both of which are important for stimulating hair growth. It helps with hair problems such as dandruff and itchiness. Curd is also rich in fatty acids - a good source for healthy and frizz-free hair. It also contains zinc, magnesium and potassium which is beneficial for your hair as well as your health. It is one go-to solution for pretty much all hair problems.
