How to prevent hair loss and make your hair healthier!

 

Use the right hairbrush.

For healthy hair, you need to use the right hairbrush. Be sure to choose a brush with rounded bristles, as they are gentler on your scalp and less likely to cause breakage. Your best bet is to find one that has a wide base so it doesn't slip out of your hand and accidentally pull any strands out along with it. The best brushes for this purpose also fit comfortably in your hand, which means finding one that's the right size for both you and for your hair type (fine or thick). Finally, if you have long or super-thick locks, consider looking for a wider version of what would normally be considered an average-sized brush

Avoid brushing wet hair.

You may be tempted to brush your hair when it's wet, but this can cause breakage. It's better to wait until the hair is dry before brushing it. If you must brush wet hair, use a wide-toothed comb or detangling brush with plastic bristles.

If you need to detangle wet hair, you should also try doing so in sections (i.e., one side at a time) using either your hands or detangler spray/oil as lubrication for the comb or brush that you are using on your tresses.

Prep your hair before going out into cold weather.

To help your hair stay healthy in the cold, try these tips:

> Put a hat on your head. Hats are great for keeping your body warm and preventing damage from sun exposure, but they're also useful for protecting hair from harsh weather conditions. They can be made from any material and in any shape (for example, beanies or cowboy hats), and may even be decorated for fun!

> Use a hair oil. Oils are great for adding shine and softness to dry or damaged strands of hair—but they should only be used once or twice per week so that you don't overdo it and cause more damage than good. If you have dry ends, try using an argan oil-based formula like Moroccan oil Treatment Lightweight Conditioning Cream that contains hydrating argan oil as one of its main ingredients; if you have thick or coarse locks, opt instead for something like Joico K-Pak Deep Penetrating Reconstructor Mask which will penetrate each strand while repairing split ends at the same time!

Stay clear of damaging hair products.

• Avoid products with alcohol. Alcohol is a drying ingredient that can strip your hair of its natural oils, causing it to become brittle and break off.

• Avoid products with sulfates. Sulfates are found in many shampoos, body washes and other personal care products. Most people associate sulfates with their ability to remove dirt from the scalp and hair follicles, but they’re also known to be harsh on the skin and often cause irritation by stripping away too much oil from the scalp.

• Avoid products with silicones or dimethicone (Dow Corning). Silicones make your hair feel silky smooth but because they coat each strand of hair individually rather than penetrating deep into the cuticle layers where moisture needs to go, they don’t actually hydrate or moisturize at all! They just leave behind a thin coating that makes your strands look shiny but weighs them down over time while preventing any real nourishment from reaching deeper into each strand—making it harder for you to grow healthy locks!

Book a trip to the salon for more than just a cut.

• Book a trip to the salon for more than just a cut.

• Get a deep conditioning treatment.

• Get a haircut.

• Get a scalp massage.

• Get a trim (if needed).

• Get a blowout for added volume and bounce!

• Try this easy at-home method: 1 cup of water mixed with 1 tbsp coconut oil and 10 drops of lavender oil or tea tree oil, then apply to damp hair before blow drying as usual! You can add other essential oils of your choice if desired (I use rosemary or peppermint). I also love using this on my kids' hair when they need some extra care after swimming in chlorinated pools/seaside beaches--just be sure not to leave it in long enough that it leaves any residue on their skin when rinsing out after 15 minutes or so (this goes for adults too!)

Don't wash your hair every day.

How often you should wash your hair depends on a variety of factors—including the health and condition of your hair, how much time you spend outside, and how sweaty or oily it gets.

It's important to remember that not every person's scalp is the same. Some people have dry scalps with little oil production; others have greasy scalps that need daily washing with harsh shampoos. In general, if your scalp feels clean after one shampooing per day but starts feeling dirty again by mid-morning (or earlier), then once per day may be enough for you. If you're using products like gels or pomades in addition to regular shampooing and conditioning treatments (like I do), then two times per week may be more ideal for keeping everything under control—but if this still doesn't seem like enough time between washings, try going three days without any product at all (which might be gross at first) before adding anything else back into your routine again

Wash at the right temperature, and consider using a scalp massager.

• Wash at the right temperature.

• Use a scalp massager.

• Use a mild shampoo and conditioner that are free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates and silicones.

• Use a hair mask once per week to nourish your hair from root to tip. You can also make one yourself using ingredients like eggs, honey, avocado or coconut oil — just put them on your strands for 20 minutes before rinsing out with cool water and shampooing as normal. If you want to take it up another level: add in some essential oils like rosemary or tea tree oil! They’ll help stimulate blood flow to the scalp which promotes healthy growth down below too so go ahead try it out next time you wash your locks regularly (about every other day). It’s best not use these often though because they could irritate sensitive skin types so go easy on those who may react badly when exposed over long periods of time by only applying every once in awhile rather than daily basis since this would mean more frequent exposure overall which could lead into more severe reactions later down line if done continuously over long periods without taking breaks between applications instead choosing alternate methods such as washing twice daily instead just once every 24 hours; this way there won't be too much stress put on each system individually even though both together still result in overall improvement because any physical demands placed upon one organ will cause corresponding strain upon another due course which means everything has enough capacity left over after work outs etc but not too much either—you get what I'm saying?

Protect your hair from the sun by wearing a hat or using UV-protectant sprays.

Protect your hair from the sun by wearing a hat or using UV-protectant sprays. If you’re not already sporting a hat, now is the time to get one! A wide-brimmed straw hat will keep you safe from harm while allowing plenty of airflow to keep your head cool. It also allows you to look like an extra in The Adventures of Huck Finn (which is always good).

If you don't have a hat, try applying sunscreen spray instead. It's much easier than greasing up every inch of your scalp with lotion, and it lasts longer too! Just make sure to apply sunscreen at least 30 minutes before going out into the sun so that it has time to dry down and become fully effective. A good rule of thumb is using at least 30 SPF when outdoors—and higher if it's especially hot outside or if there's no shade around where you'll be spending most of your day (like inside an office building).

Put down the blowdryer and air dry when possible, or use a diffuser to protect curls.

When you're blowdrying, the hair is forced to follow the same direction. You can't do this with curly hair because it has so much volume and movement. It's like trying to mold a tornado into something that resembles a steady drizzle of rain. Your curls will look "puffy" or "fried," depending on how damaged they are, which means their natural weightless bounce will be gone forever!

To prevent this from happening, use a diffuser instead of direct heat when blowdrying your hair. A diffuser protects curls from damage by distributing air flow evenly across them instead of drying them out at once like straighteners do (which is why frizz happens). If you don't have access to one at home or work but still want great-looking locks in no time flat, try using a low setting on your dryer and keeping it away from your head until all sections have been dried throughly—then switch over to high heat for another few minutes before letting everything cool down naturally again while being mindful not too touch anything too soon after applying heat directly onto any part of yourself (or anyone else) without proper protection first

Avoid chemical cocktails when you can.

• Avoid chemical cocktails when you can. Chemicals in hair products can strip your hair of its natural oils and cause irritation, which will eventually lead to breakage. Even worse, some chemicals are carcinogenic—a nice thought for something that goes on your head!

• If a product has a long list of ingredients, avoid it! It's probably not good for your health or the environment if it contains dozens of different chemicals.

You can have healthier hair with a little effort and some good habits.

With a little effort and some good habits, you can have healthier hair.

• Use a good hairbrush. A brush that is too rough can cause breakage and split ends. The right brush will help to detangle your hair while ensuring that it’s evenly distributed when you are styling it.

• Don't brush wet hair. When in the shower or bathtub, try to avoid brushing your tresses immediately after washing them because they will be more susceptible to breakage during this stage than at any other time during their life cycle. Instead, gently squeeze excess water out of your locks before attempting to comb through them with a comb or wide-toothed comb; then use a soft-bristled brush or paddle brush on dry hair only (and preferably once it's been conditioned).

• Wash at the right temperature for your strands! Hot water strips away natural oils from follicles, which leads to drier strands overall—and no one wants that! To prevent overstripping of natural oils (or even worse!), stick with lukewarm water temperatures whenever possible! If you prefer extremely hot showers/baths but still want beautiful locks under all circumstances...you can always wash with cold water instead—but keep in mind that this may cause some damage if done too often (or without using conditioner!).

• Don't wash every day, especially if you have oily roots but dry ends: This will disturb the pH balance between root and tip which causes frizziness throughout those fragile inches without any conditioning benefits whatsoever! Hair grows naturally slower than most people think so don't worry about 'waiting' ages before styling again either; just use shampoo every other day instead until there's visibly less grease build up than usual--then go back down again when needed!

Conclusion

That’s it. Use these tips to get your hair healthy and strong again, and you’ll be on your way to having the perfect locks you’ve always wanted.
