Healthy Hair: What Is it?
Shiny hair with a smooth texture and clean-cut ends or tapered tips is generally perceived to be healthy. Hair texture and shine relate to hair surface properties, whereas the integrity of hair ends relates to the hair cortex. Hair can be straight, wavy or curly, blonde, black, brown, red, gray white, and its natural variations are important to our identity. Manipulation of the normal structure of the hair shaft is epidemic and dictated by culture, fashion, and above all, celebrity.
Although cosmetic procedures are intrinsically safe, there is potential for damage to the hair. Loss of lustre, frizz, split ends, and other hair problems are particularly prevalent among people who repeatedly alter the natural style of their hair. This also happens among people with hair that is intrinsically weak. This may be due to individual or racial variation or less commonly an inherited structural abnormality in hair fibre formation. Hair health is also affected by common afflictions of the scalp as well as age-related phenomena such as graying and “Hair lose”. Hair products that improve the structural integrity of hair fibres and increase tensile strength are available. These products increases hair volume, reduce frizz, improve hair manageability, and stimulate new hair growth.
The thought of “breakage” literally makes everyone’s hair stand on end. Whether you’ve snagged a strand on your hairband or found bits of hair between the plates of your flat iron, it gives me a hair snapping sensation.
Luckily, we’ve discovered several precautions you can take to stop the unintentional thinning and shortening of your locks. Here five top tips on how to keep your hair strong and battle breakage.
Get Silk(y)
If you’re currently using a cotton pillowcase, that very well might be the cause of your frizzy or tangled hair. A leads to silky smooth strands. Cotton absorbs all the moisture from your strands, while silk or satin maintains the oils necessary for nourished hair.It sounds like a time-sucking extra step, finishing a blow out with cold air after the hair is dry is key for not only locking in the amount of volume, direction of your style, and movement of your hair, it also helps close the cuticle. Use your hand like rake to comb your hair. Simply put your fingers into your hair with them open, gently close them, and then slide them down the hair shaft to squeegee that cuticle closed, followed by a cold shot of air to seal it.
Get Slick
Hair oil fights breakage in many ways: sealing parched ends, deep conditioning the scalp, moisturizing strands overnight, the list goes on. Make sure to invest in a do-it-all oil like, sweet almond or jojoba oil . Known as “liquid gold,” just a few drops of hair-saving formula conditions, reduces frizz, and strengthens against breakage.
Get Protected
The best way to beat breakage: cool it on the heat. If that’s not an option for you, at least promise us that you’ll keep your strands protected at all times. Make sure that you go for a spray that can withstand up to 450 degrees of heat. Heat protecting product protects hair against heat tools, strengthens strands, and prevents breakage with its Honey Protective Complex, a concoction that conditions hair and improves elasticity.
Get Strong
In our opinions, healthy hair starts in the shower. What you do to your hair before you style sets the tone for hair strength, hydration, and overall health. Make sure you deep condition your hair once a week with a formula that brings vitality back to dry/damaged hair. Repairing or rejuvenating Hair Mask helps repair breakage from root to tip with a formula highly concentrated in key plant-based extracts, proteins, vitamins, and minerals.
Get Creative
Over styling is one of the chief causes of hair breakage. Instead of frying your strands every day, get creative with your styling to avoid unnecessary processing and grow out damaged hair. Two options here: 1) Start embracing your natural hair texture or 2) Blow out your hair once a week and maintain with heatless hairstyles. Either way, make sure you have a flexible styling product that works with your strands without any greasy build up. Finishing protecting product will help you achieve control with flexibility, so you can restyle with ease. If you absolutely have to retouch with heat, the gel contains a heat styling complex that protects hair from thermal damage.
