Whether you carry short hair, permed hair or natural hair, the maintenance should be nothing short of excellent. This is not just to keep your hair healthy but also boost its growth and luster. Maintenance is not only about the products you use, it also involves the habits you inculcate in your everyday life. Today Cocci Beauty would be giving you some expert tips on how to maintain healthy hair.

WASH YOUR HAIR REGULARLY

Washing your hair ensures your hair and scalp is dirt and oil free. Using shampoos, which contain certain good for hair ingredients, is a great way to pass these nutrients to your hair and scalp. If your scalp is dry, washing twice weekly with a quality shampoo is enough to rid your hair of dirt and grime. If your scalp is oily, alternating it every two days is enough.

USE THE RIGHT PRODUCTS

The content of your haircare products can either make or break your hair. Keep an eye out for harmful chemicals, sulfate, parabens, etc. that can cause irritation to your scalp or even dry your hair out. With haircare, what is more important is hydrating and moisturizing so the bulk of your makeup products ought to do that for your hair.

AVOID HEAT

Read that again and assimilate it. We use heat on our hair so many times. You can shampoo with hot water, dry with a blow drier, stretch with a stretcher, and curl with curling irons. Your hair does not need all this heat; it is unhealthy and strips your hair of essential moisture. Use Coldwater or lukewarm water often, let your hair air dry and limit your use of curling irons and stretchers. You will be amazed at how much more bouncy your hair will become.

USE HAIR CAPS/ HATS

Your hair needs a lot of production from the elements (sun, wind and rain). You might use the best products but it could be the sun drying your hair out. Try to cover your hair as much as possible. If you are indoors or at informal events. Hair bonnets, scarves, hairnets, etc. are all coverings that you ought to have handy. They are also useful if you want to keep your hairstyles fresh. Going to bed with your hair covered will help protect against frizzing.

TAKE YOUR SUPPLEMENTS

Your hair needs a lot of protein, zinc and Omega 3. You might not be able to eat a healthy amount of these nutrients daily, which is why you need to have supplements handy. Supplements are a great way to get enough protein, zinc, Omega 3 and other essentials into your body, for your hair.

HYDRATE YOUR HAIR

Your hair needs a lot of moisture and hydration. Buy products that are rich in hyaluronic acid. This wonder product is not for your skin alone. It can help boost longer and thicker hair growth.
