6 TIPS FOR HEALTHY HAIR

How you wash your hair and the products you use can go a long way in maintaining smooth, shiny hair. Follow these simple tips from dermatologists to maintain healthy hair.

Wash oily hair more frequently

How often you wash your hair should be based on the amount of oil your scalp produces.

• If your scalp is oily, you may need to wash it up to once a day.
• If you have chemically treated hair, your hair may be drier, so you may want to wash it less frequently.
• As you age, your scalp produces less oil, so you may not need to wash as often. But if you see flakes in your hair, you might not be shampooing enough. This can lead to dandruff and other scalp diseases.

Shampoo concentrated on the scalp.

When washing your hair, focus on cleaning the scalp rather than the entire length of the hair. Washing only your hair can create flyaways that are dull and coarse.

Use conditioner after every shampoo

unless you use a “2 in 1” shampoo, which cleans and conditions the hair. Using conditioner can significantly improve the appearance of damaged or damaged hair by increasing shine, decreasing static, improving strength, and providing some protection from harmful UV rays.

Conditioner concentrated on the ends of the hair

Since conditioners can make fine hair limp, they should only be used on the ends of the hair and not on the scalp or length of the hair.

Choose a shampoo and conditioner specially formulated for your hair type

For example, if you color your hair, use a shampoo designed for colored hair. If your hair is damaged or chemically treated, consider a “2 in 1” shampoo. Regardless of cost, many shampoo and conditioner brands offer the same benefits.

Protect hair when swimming

Protect your hair from the harmful effects of chlorine by dampening and conditioning it before swimming.

Wear a well-fitted swim cap and use a specially formulated swimmers' shampoo and deep conditioner after swimming to replace lost moisture.
