Hair Tips to Keep Your Hair Looking Fresh All Year Long

We can all use a little help when it comes to making our hair look great all year long.

And while we can't be in the salon every day getting our hair done, here are some great healthy hair tips to help you throughout the year.

Wash Your Hair the Correct Way

With so many different guides and tips to follow it can be a bit overwhelming. These are the main guidelines to washing your hair the right way.

Avoid shampoos with sulfates and silicones to avoid your hair drying out and removing your head's natural oils.

• Make sure your hair is fully wet before applying any shampoo
• Before applying, make sure you mix it with a little water in your hand
• Gently massage the shampoo in your hair --- don't scrub hard at the scalp
• Rinse for 1-2 minutes to make sure your scalp is fully clear of any soap
• Apply a moisturizing conditioner

The Right Way to Condition Your Hair

When conditioning your hair, be sure you are doing the following things to get the most out of your treatment:

• Only add conditioner on the bottom 3/4 of your hair (avoid the roots!)
• Use a moisturizing conditioner before shampooing
• Use a wide tooth comb to remove any tangles
• Leave your conditioner in for a bit before washing out
• Rinse with cooler water

How to Dry Your Hair

Did you think just applying the hair dryer right after your shower was the right way to dry your hair? Might want to take a look at these tips.

• Towel dry your hair thoroughly by squeezing or pat drying it --- try not to rub it!
• Using a microfiber towel can also help since it's a softer fabric on your hair than a traditional towel
• If you have a lot of tangles, apply a detangler or hair protectant after towel drying
• Let your hair dry naturally about 70-80% of the way
• When you use the hair dryer, use the coolest setting and keep the dryer about 6 inches away and move around continuously until dry

Don't Forget to Pamper and Relax

It is really important to understand that your hair is a reflection of you and how you treat yourself. Making sure you take time to relax and pamper yourself from time to time really does go a long way with how your body releases nutrients for your hair.
