Keeping Hair Healthy Is the True Trick.
Okay, so we may all think we do the best by our hair. However, so many of us cake our hair with products it can damage it. Blasting our hair with hair dryers, using straighteners and curlers, high-chemical content shampoos and conditioners, showering or bathing in water as hot as liquid lava.
While we do not often realize it these things can be just as bad as they make us feel good. If you wash your hair too regularly, this can actually disrupt your hair. Many people shower every day and find their hair gets greasy fast, but showering every day is actually the reason for this.
If you always use a hair dryer, you should look to invest in some heat protection spray to help prevent heat damage from affecting your hair. Natural products and high quality brands will do better for your hair. Remember your hair is its own ecosystem, messing with its chemicals and natural oils will make it less healthy, and your styles won’t hold as well.
Know What Hair Type You Have.
We spoke about knowing your hair. This is important. We know so many people who have thin hair that is easily greasy, these two things can be connected. In fact, people with thin hair tend to have more hair on their head. But with it comes more oil glands, which makes it greasy.
The trick to figuring out what hair type you have can be doing quizzes, spending time with hair stylists, and trying out ways to fight any hair problems you might have. Is your hair greasy, is it too dry? Do you have an itchy scalp, or even all of the above?
When your hair issues are complex, you can feel stuck, but trust us when we say there is a treatment for every issue. You just need to be dedicated enough.

Whether you are dying your hair, curling, straightening, trying to do that new style from the internet, or if you are on a hunt for the most attractive high fade, styling doesn’t need to be complicated.
The most important thing is understanding your hair, and treating it with love and care to get the best out of it.
