Today we are going to discuss five steps to healthy hair care routine and although. I think that that information is still very relevant I still use it every single day. I am just going to try and give you as much information today on how I care for my hair.
Wooden Brush
Healthy hair secret weapon is a wooden brush. When you use a wooden brush it absorbs your hairs natural oils. So when you brush your hair it distributes these oils evenly and conditions your hair and it also reduces static and breakage. And it’s just the perfect tool. They also massage acupressure points on your head which is great for stimulating circulation to the scalp and you know promoting healthy hair growth.
Oiling
Oiling your hair is one of the best ways that you can condition your hair. It keeps your hair hydrated, it keeps it soft, keeps it shiny. There are so many oils that you can use for your hair. Some of my personal favorites are argan oil, coconut oil. Of course, jojoba oil is
really good If you have thin hair because it’s really light. I mean there are so many different oils you can really use anything. You just want to make sure that it’s unrefined cold-pressed preferably and organic.
Neem is amazing for growing strong healthy hair. When you’re oiling your hair it’s the perfect time to give yourself a scalp massage.
Shampoo & Conditioners
So now it’s time to talk about Shampoo and Conditioner. You can read the label of your bottle of shampoo and it can make it sound like the most amazing spectacular shampoo. It’s gonna make your hair grow up healthy, it’s gonna make it shiny, soft & beautiful. How that’s mainly marketing they just want you to buy the shampoo and conditioner. So you know it’s pretty much just lies what you want to be doing is looking at the back of the bottle and checking out the ingredient list.
I do an apple cider vinegar rinse and the second rinse I do is the rosemary hair rinse. And rosemary is just amazing for growing long healthy hair. So yeah hair rinses can really make a big difference on your hair and a lot of people swear by the no poo method. Where you wash your hair with baking soda and then condition it with apple cider vinegar.
Heat
Next tip is probably the hardest tip for a lot of people. That is just cut down on the amount of heat you’re using in your hair and you don’t have to do this forever. You can just try and limit your use if you use a straightener every day. Maybe just try and straighten it only once a week. You just really want to give your hair a break and allow it to become healthy again. And I’ve talked about this before but I used to straighten my hair every single day for high school and it just damaged my hair so much. My hair looked horrible without styling I would straighten my hair.
My hair would become more damaged so then I would have to straighten it, even more, to make it look healthy again. It would become even more damaged and it was just this vicious cycle for me. So one day I just cut that cycle and I was like I’m just not gonna use heat on my hair anymore. I’m gonna let my hair grow out and be natural and that’s what I did and now I’m really really happy with my natural hair.
Hairstyles
Damage-proof hairstyles is really important when it comes to growing long healthy hair. My favorite protective hairstyle is just putting my hair in a side braid. My go-to everyday hairstyle is just a side braid with some sort of hat. I just find that it keeps my hair protected, prevents it from getting matted and I love braids. I think that they look really cute and I always wear protective hairstyles to bed. If I go to bed with my hair down I will wake up with the worst matted poofy dry hair. So I have two protective hairstyles that I wear to bed I will either twist my hair into a bun. And then secure it at the front of my head with a big clip. And I love doing this because the next morning I just wake up with the perfect waves in my hair.
So I definitely think that food plays a huge role in having healthy hair. I love starting my day off with a green drink every day. It gives me those minerals, it’s detoxifying and I just feel like it’s the most beautiful elixir in the world. If I could recommend one supplement for a hair it would probably be MSM powder.
MSM is an organic sulfur compound that benefits our skin, hair, nails, and joints due to its collagen building properties. It’s also a wonderful anti-inflammatory and great for detoxifying the body. There are huge quality differences in MSM supplements so always look for a non-petroleum derived MSM. You can use it both internally and externally.
Trimming
Another little tip that I still recommend is just going to your local beauty supply store and get some little trimming shears. Just little scissors to cut your hair and just go through your hair whenever you’re bored. And find those little split ends and just you know to give them a little snip off. It’s gonna make it so you don’t have to go to the hairdresser as often you know. That is my little trick so those are my tips to achieving long healthy hair naturally
