Get Healthy Hair Now – How to Grow Long, Healthy Hair

Growing long, beautiful and healthy hair is not an extremely difficult process. It does not require the upscale hair products hawked by salons, handfuls of expensive vitamins, or any sort of sacrifice to the long hair gods. What it does take is common sense, dedication, and a lot of patience. Indeed, growing long hair is actually more a question of what you shouldn’t do rather than what you should!

If you make the commitment to closely follow the twenty steps below, not only will you grow long hair but your hair will be in beautiful condition throughout the process.

This guide was written specifically for the person who wants to grow extremely long hair – waist, hip, knee-length or even longer, but it will benefit anyone who is seeking longer locks. Keeping your hair in excellent condition, at extreme lengths, takes more caution and conscious effort than it would if you intend to keep your hair shorter, at mid-back length for example. If your goal is to encourage healthy hair growth but not to the extreme, then certain modifications may be made to a few of the steps below and still maintain successful results. If you use common sense and don’t allow damage to occur, you know you’re doing the right thing to promote healthy hair at any length.

It is also important to keep in mind that just about everyone has a “terminal length” which is the longest your hair will grow based on the active growth period of your hair follicles (the growth cycle of individual hair follicles turns on and off as determined by your genetics). Nothing here can help you alter your genetically predetermined terminal length. That being said, you’d be surprised how incredibly often what was thought to be terminal length turns out to be nothing more than hair too damaged to continue to grow… an easily resolved issue!

Hair loss, extreme dryness or any sudden change in your hair’s condition may be due to a medical condition, often thyroid issues. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is imperative that you seek advice from a qualified medical practitioner rather than from this guide. That being said, you might want to check out our disclaimer below.

Please feel free to experiment and tweak the below steps to best suit your own hair type and growth goals.

1.  The first step to growing long, beautiful hair is by far the most important. It is absolutely non-negotiable for anyone who wants healthy hair at any length, but it is also by far the hardest step you will have to follow. In order to have long healthy hair you absolutely have to start with healthy hair. You must cut off every inch that is considerably damaged. If you are going for extreme length, from that point on you will have to treat your hair like delicate, antique lace at all times. Remember, once your hair is at your waist the ends can be as many as six years old. Your hair will go through a lot of trauma in six years no matter how careful you are with it. Because there is absolutely no way to repair damaged hair, you must start out with healthy hair to have healthy hair when it’s long, there’s no way around it. If your hair is not very damaged up the entire shaft, you may start with a very healthy trim and then continue to trim monthly to maintain your length until all the damage is gone; however, keep in mind that if the amount of damage does not continue to decrease using this method, you didn’t remove enough of the damaged hair to begin with and another healthy trim is in order. You’ll save precious time by removing as much damage as possible from the very beginning and immediately implementing the steps that follow to your now beautifully healthy hair!  Remember, long damaged hair is never as pretty as shorter healthy hair, and because healthy hair needs to be trimmed less often and doesn’t break as easily, the result is much faster growth overall. I learned this step the hard way and wasted ten years trying to grow damaged hair I refused to cut… hair that started literally growing like a weed when I finally bit the bullet, did the dirty deed and stopped doing all the horrible nasties that initially resulted in the damage. Duh. Learn from my pain.2.  Always trim your hair often. Damage to your hair will move up from the ends and the only way to stop the damage in its tracks is to remove it as soon as it happens. Trim hair a half inch every month or so (the average rate of hair growth) if you are maintaining your length. If you are actively growing your hair, trim it a half inch every three or four months. In between trims it is beneficial to sit in bright light and snip any splits off the ends of individual hairs with a good pair of hair cutting scissors. If you are persistent with this method, regular trims may be able to be postponed even longer. If your hair begins to show damage, it is important to trim it more often! Damaged hair doesn’t grow, it breaks, and damage will only increase with time.3.  If you don’t have someone you trust implicitly to trim your hair for you, find a salon that caters to long hair, has a long hair specialist, or at least be sure to glare at your stylist as menacingly as you can while you clearly explain your hair-growth goals before letting her come at you with scissors. It also helps to ask the stylist to show you exactly their perception of the amount of hair you want trimmed by showing you what they think is the same distance from the end of their comb. It also helps to remember, it is not in the best interest of most salons or stylists if you rarely make visits to their salon, which is definitely a conflict of interest! If your hair is short and styled, you are always there spending money for maintenance. If your stylist tries to convince you that your long, healthy hair should be cut, run screaming from the salon immediately! Make sure that anyone whose advice you consider, be it a stylist, friend or family member, has only the best interest of YOUR acknowledged hair growth goals in mind. Otherwise smile politely and ignore every word they say. You absolutely are not too old, too thin, too short, too gray, too anything to have long hair.4.  Avoid using any heated appliances whenever possible. No blow drying, no curling irons, no hot rollers, and especially no flat irons or crimpers! If you absolutely must blow dry do so minimally, and contrary to popular belief, it is best to let your hair dry naturally for as long as possible and use the blow dryer just to finish it off at the end if you must. If you must use hot rollers, use flocked or soft rollers, not spiked plastic rollers. If you insist on using curling irons, flat irons or crimpers on a daily basis, really long healthy hair isn’t in your future. If you do use heat on your hair, be sure to use a product that will help protect your hair from it and keep in mind that every time you apply that heat you are likely to cause some damage.5.  Don’t use any harsh chemicals on your hair. Definitely no perms and no peroxide! If you must color, use non peroxide color, henna (but not if you have very dry hair… henna tends to be drying but does help to “plump up” fine hair), or even make your own natural hair color. Hair color with low peroxide is more tolerable, but using these products again and again will eventually affect the health of your hair, it is unavoidable. No perming or straightening ever for any reason. These chemicals actually break down the structure of your hair and completely rebuild it… no other chemicals meant to be applied to hair are more damaging. Don’t do it.6.  Avoid chlorine and saltwater. If you go swimming in either, shampoo your hair as soon as possible after exposure. If you are blonde, you may want to consider using a shampoo specially formulated to remove the green tinge that can come from exposing your hair to chlorine. If you swim very often, invest in a good bathing cap (and to be really kind to your hair, apply deep conditioner and take advantage of the body heat that will be generated while you’re wearing it). If you spend a lot of time in the sun, use a conditioner that provides SPF protection against the sun’s rays, or cover your hair with a tightly-woven hat or scarf.7.  Be extremely careful of what kind of hair jewelry you use. Never use metal barrettes (the “French” style) and absolutely NEVER use rubber bands, they will tear your hair when you try to remove them. Avoid anything that has sharp or rough edges, such as plastic combs with rough seams or hair claws with metal hinges. Never put anything in your hair that attaches with Velcro or springs. If you take anything out of your hair and a significant amount of hair comes out with it, don’t ever put it back in your hair. Scrunchies are very hair-safe, and several can be used if your hair is very long. 8.  Never put your hair in any kind of style that will put undue stress on the individual hairs… no tiny braids, no extremely tight coils. If you pull all or some of your hair into a braid or a ponytail to create your hairstyle, make sure it isn’t pulled tight enough to put stress on the roots of your hair. Pulling hair tight repeatedly commonly results in bald patches! If you go after the long hair “quick fix” and put extensions in your hair, be forewarned that your own hair will likely be significantly more damaged when they are removed than it was to begin with. Dreads almost always have to be cut off to be removed and are tremendously damaging to hair.9.  Avoid extreme diets. If your body isn’t getting enough nutrition, neither is your hair. Even if you try to avoid fat, it’s essential that you don’t completely eliminate all fat from your diet. Your hair (and body) will surely suffer for it. If you tend to restrict calories then be sure to take a multivitamin (any comprehensive one will do) to make sure both your body and your hair get the daily nourishment they need.10.  Be very gentle with your hair when it is wet. Don’t rub your hair vigorously with a towel; gently squeeze the towel down the length of your hair.  NEVER brush your hair when it’s wet, this is when your hair is at its most delicate. Use a very wide-tooth comb to smooth wet hair. In fact, it is best to avoid brushing your hair under most circumstances, a wide-tooth comb is almost always a better choice.11.  Be very careful with what you choose to style your hair. When you do use a brush, use only natural boar bristle brushes, which are useful in distributing sebum (your hair’s natural protective oils) to the ends of your hair and to remove loose hairs. If your hair is so thick that a boar bristle brush won’t penetrate, there are several smooth wood brushes on the market that will be kind to your hair. Using a wide-tooth comb is far less damaging but it is important to choose a comb that is molded or has smooth seams (use a bit of sand paper to smooth rough seams if necessary). Comb your hair often throughout the day to detangle it. Work in small sections, always starting close to the ends, combing down in long, smooth strokes until all tangles are removed, and then starting the next set of strokes higher on the same section of hair. Knots are very hard on your hair and it’s best to avoid them at all costs. Tiny knots that absolutely cannot be removed by any other means should be cut from your hair, not torn. Also, avoid back combing or “teasing” your hair with a fine-tooth comb. This lifts and tears the cuticle, destroying even the healthiest of hair in a very short period of time.12.  Comb your hair to ensure all knots have been removed before shampooing. After the knots have been removed, use a boar bristle brush to remove loose hairs, which will also cut down on knotting during shampooing.13.  Let your hair get dirty once in awhile. That’s right… permission to be lazy, what more could you ask for? Don’t shampoo, spend the entire weekend in bed drinking, eating chocolate covered strawberries, all while those wonderful natural conditioning oils work their magic. Don’t forget the boar bristle brush before shampooing to distribute those oils. 14.  Don’t pile your hair on your head when you wash it, that’s just asking for knots. I recommend using shampoos free of Sodium Lauryl Sulphate or Sodium Laureth Sulphate.  Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) is a harsh (caustic) detergent that can “actually damage the outer layer of the skin, the stratum corneum, causing dryness, roughness, scaliness, fissuring, loss of flexibility and reduction of the barrier functions of normal healthy skin.  The lipid dissolving action of some detergents, including SLS, cause damage to the moisture retaining ability of the cellular level resulting in water loss and loss of water-binding ability” (Cosmetic Science, C. Prottey, 1978).   Apply shampoo only to the roots and wash your scalp, then work the shampoo to the ends. You may find adding a bit of water to your shampoo or very quickly ducking under the shower spray after initially applying it to your hair will increase lathering significantly, making it easier to work the soap to the ends of your tresses. When you apply conditioner, work it through to the ends of your hair, smoothing and detangling gently with your fingers as you go. Continue smoothing your hair as you rinse. This will make combing your wet hair much easier and less likely to tear.15.  If you wash your hair often or have very dry hair, you may want to consider using only conditioner to wash it on occasion. If your hair isn’t very dirty the conditioner will easily rinse away surface contaminants16.  Rinse your hair in as cold water as you can stand. Not only will this make the cuticle lay flat and less likely to snag and break, but by the same token you’ll get the added benefit of very shiny hair that’s easier to comb wet. Yes, you will get used to doing this, even in the shower, and it is wonderfully invigorating for your whole body, not just your hair17.  If your hair is especially coarse, extremely curly, you didn’t heed my stern advice in Step 1 and your hair is damaged or if it is prone to damage easily, you may want to consider using a leave-in conditioner in addition to a regular rinse-out conditioner.  In some cases, leave-in conditioners may replace rinse-out conditioners altogether.18.  Become familiar with the ingredients in your styling products. Once you know what affects your hair positively or detrimentally, you will be able to effectively choose products that contain ingredients that are best for your hair type. For instance, some people find that their hair does not respond well to silicone products (found in most “smoothing” or “anti frizz” products and many conditioning shampoos), if used over a long period of time. Any ingredient that ends with the suffix “cone” in the ingredient list is usually a silicone derivative and should be avoided by those sensitive to it.  Products that nourish your hair with natural are excellent alternatives to the chemical laden, overpriced high-end lines sold in department stores and salons (I can personally recommend HerbalNature Alternative Hair Products). Either way, what matters most is to use whatever works best for your hair, not what is necessarily the hottest trendy product or for that matter, the most cost efficient product. By the same token, it helps to clarify your hair as often as needed by rinsing with a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water. to remove build-up of product in your hair and avoid the damage to the cuticle this can cause if left unchecked. As a whole, this is one step to growing long, healthy hair in which using common sense rather than falling victim to marketing ploys plays a huge role.19.  Deep condition your hair at least monthly, even if it’s in good shape this will help keep it that way. If your hair is dry or damaged, deep condition weekly. Hot oil treatments are a good alternative for very dry hair or for extra conditioning (but be forewarned, to some extent hot oil treatments will lift any non permanent color you’ve added). You might want to try washing and applying conditioner at night, wearing a shower cap to bed, and rinsing in the morning for a really intense conditioning treatment as well. A word to the wise… conditioning nights have been conclusively proven to be detrimental to romantic evenings with the significant other. Use this information to your own best advantage based on the current status of your relationship.20.  Lessen the friction on your hair whenever possible. Don’t sleep with your hair loose or if you must, use a satin pillowcase. If your hair is very long and prone to getting caught in car windows, seat belts, doors, or even under your butt when you sit down, it’s important to remember that all these things can cause damage to your precious locks. Wear your hair braided or in an updo hairstyle whenever possible to avoid daily wear and tear. And we all know, no matter what promises hair product manufacturers claim, the ONLY way to fix damaged hair is to CUT IT OFF… perish the thought!

Hairs of every single person get thin as a result of some deficiency in the body. It is frequently regarded as a style and a person suffering from this trouble is habitually named as a smarts and intelligent. Accordingly if a person makes a decision or people desire to try to get their hair back, they will almost certainly need to pay for the extensive, costly processes themselves.

The trouble of hair fall has consequences in a lot of other tradition and misapprehension. For example, wearing hats or head covering does not “strangle off” hair roots and prop up bluntness. Similarly, longer hair does not place a stress on the hair roots. The majority hair fall is not related with general or inner disease, nor is a meager diet a recurrent cause. The chief reason is a thyroid disease which can cause hair loss, but thyroid tests on average person who have normal hair loss problem generally shows normal results. Even though in many prescription directory “hair loss” in between their probable side effects, the drugs are also not in general widespread causes of thinning or losing hair. In contrast, with cancer treatments and immune restraint therapies, hair loss is totally normal.

One helpful method to categorize hair fall is by whether the loss is prevented from spreading and patchy, or whether it have an effect on large areas or the over the whole scalp. Hair loss in man is hereditarily determined by means of passing genes on from parents. Even if a physician can recommend medical treatment to get better the clause, this could have serious side effects. It is resulted by elevated sensitivity to male sex hormones which are androgens present in definite parts of the scalp, and is transported on from generation to generation. Formerly, baldness was habitually observed as somewhat unlucky or unwanted. On the other hand, this approach has altered over by the time and in this day a clean shaved head is typically considered as both stylish and beautiful.

We can have a choice of means to conceal hair that has previously fallen out. These consist of hair-piecing or we can say a hair-weaving process. Toupees are needed to be taped or in additional ways to maintain them from sliding off, and they also extend and oxidize. Hair weaving get loosen by the time and regularly required an intermittent restyling.

At present there is one valuable way to organize hair loss is by whether the loss is restricted and patchy, or whether it have an effect on large areas or sometimes on the whole scalp.

It might seem a mission impossible, and many might say it is just a myth. But there are indeed some hair care tips that will help your hair regenerate and start growing faster.

Avoid Hair Damaging Factors

There are a few harming factors that influence not only the hair’s health but it’s condition to. In order to have healthy shiny hair, and have good results at our attempt to make it grow faster, these factors have to be avoided as best as possible. The main things that you’ll need to keep your hair away from, are the fallowing:

drastic climate changes. Sun is damaging all year long, so keep it away as much as possible form sun exposure, by wearing stylish beach hats for example. Also, an extra cold weather would be just as damaging as a hot summer day.

water. As crazy as it might seem, but water is not your best ally. It dehydrates your hair from all its natural moisture and your skin to. Go for quick showers, preferably with lukewarm water.

styling products and styling tools. Each time you are styling your hair, you’re working against your hair. It is the worse thing you can do, specially with heat styling tools. These factors might be the fastest ones in damaging your hair. Just take a short break from your styling habits and keep your hair naturally, in a loose hairstyle if possible.

Hair extension is chosen by others as a way to color their hair. With this, you can give a trendy hue to your hair, without actually killing your scalp with harsh chemicals. Hair coloring becomes much easier with the smooth silky long hair extensions. They preserve their color for a long time too. Because of these reasons, many people opt for hair extensions nowadays.

They feel that they are carrying something extra on their head and develop an adverse feeling against them. However, this is just a psychological problem. Those who have tried it for a few weeks will realize that it merges with their hair so smoothly that they even forget about its presence. Then, they can move on or involve in highly sportive activities without discomfort. http://www.secretextensions.co.uk/Hair extension should not be taken in the wrong sense.

Typically, a good quality hair extension lasts 4-5 months, depending on the living style of the person. However, many people prefer hair extensions for special occasions.

Everyone talks about massage but did you know there is a right and wrong way to massage your hair, and actually your body but we will concentrate on getting your hair to grow so hair massage is a major issue we must tackle as it is so very important. The right massage not only stimulates growth but can actually even increase the strength of your hair follicles. The wrong massage can actually break your hair, cause no effect from the massage (other than it feels good), and definitely not help you reach your goals. What is the purpose of a good scalp massage? The scalp becomes ‘tightened’ as we encounter stress, etc. therefore creating a loss of circulation which is necessary for good growth. The wrong massage vigorously rubs your scalp AND your hair either by hand or using a tool of sorts, ruffling the hair as the massage proceeds.

The right massage is done using just your fingertips by applying a goodly pressure, keeping the hair from moving but only moving the scalp against the underneath body tissue. The outer skin moves over the inner tissue ONLY. You may need to practice this a little bit in the beginning to understand the principle.

You will notice that when moving your finger tips in this manner, areas of your scalp don’t seem to want to move. They may seem to not move at all but move to different areas of your head and also notice that different areas act different from each other. Don’t become impatient and begin moving the hair as you would in a surface massage. This is a NO-NO. You break hair when you do this. When the scalp seems to not want to move, this is an indication your scalp is STARVING for circulation and needs your attention desperately. So, concentrate diligently on those areas the most and if you can, do this at least 2 times a day for about 1/2 hour. You will find the more you deep massage your scalp, the looser the scalp will become which means of course, the more movement you will be able to obtain using your finger tips. You are causing the blood to move more freely in your scalp and the roots are now getting the circulation it was starving for.

Another big culprit of breaking your hair is combing it. I would tend to just about bet no-one has shared this information with you before as the average person is not told that there is a right way and wrong way to take care of your hair. I always thought it didn’t matter but it really does. As a little girl, with baby fine dry hair, my hair was snarled all of the time. Since I cried every time it was combed, it was cut and I really wanted long hair. It was below my waist when it was cut and kept short. I wish someone had known what I am about to tell you. NEVER use a comb on your hair in the first place unless it is an extreme situation which we will also discuss here. So what do we do?

Do not comb your hair wet. Do not blow dry your hair as it will dry out. Air dry your hair just as much as possible. Heat dries out your hair. Look at how the summer sun can wither things when left in it. When your hair is dry, using your fingers, gently pull your fingers through your hair as if your fingers are a comb but when your fingers get stuck (run into a snarl), gently take both hands and slowly in the middle of this snarl, pull it apart doing just a little bit at a time. In other words, never pull tightly but when it feels it is tightening, go at it from a different direction. This is not as time consuming as it sounds. It definitely eliminates stress on the follicles creating less breakage and when you are done combing your hair with your fingers, you will have no snarls. I cannot say why this works so good other than our body seems to produce oils through our fingers and they seem to naturally remove the snarls rather than forcing the removal of them.

Once the snarls are removed, brush your hair with a very fine ‘horse hair’ brush. Do not worry if it doesn’t go all the way through to the scalp. It isn’t supposed to. Just move your hair so you can cover all of it with your brushing. You stimulate your scalp with your fingertips and not your brush.

Once your snarls are removed, you have completed your massage, and you have brushed your hair, use a natural hair extension so that you do not need to ADD anything whatsoever to your hair to create any damage, i.e.; leave in conditioners, hair spray, any type of additives, no clips, just your natural hair extensions and you will see your hair become healthy and robustly grow. HAPPY hair growth.

First you need a natural hair extensions. Why? Will show you why herein. Make sure you have the right one for you and one that has no clips, glues or things that can further damage your hair. Be Careful.

Hair can be thin and baby fine at birth and naturally appear un-healthy. Not only do we encounter stress, lack of proper nutrients, bad lifestyle habits but hair naturally breaks and re-grows so we need to increase the strength of the hair follicle plus encourage our body to grow new hair.

First our care of our hair is a primary issue. Treat your hair like you WANT it to grow. This is why a natural hair extensions can help us with this. Why shampoo your hair every day and strip it of its natural lubricants? Yes, I know. It looks dirty, right? So, a natural hair extensions can cover up most of your own hair. Instead shampoo your own hair every 3 to 5 days. In fact if your scalp is dry, you might want to go longer. You will find this amazing and notice a definite thickening of the follicle. Research shampoos and conditions and find ones that encourage growth with no breakage. You might even try to contact a ‘hair growth’ clinic to ensure you get the quality you need. Stay away from cheapies. Treat your hair like it is fragile when you shampoo and condition it. Be gentle and use proper massage techniques

Give your hair a ‘rest’. When you are sick, you go to bed so your body can heal itself. Your hair is obviously not healthy so it is sick and needs it’s rest for a time. Again, treat your hair like it is fragile. There are proper massages, proper combings and even other tricks to implement to enhance your good care of your hair. Using natural hair extensions will allow you to give your own hair the rest it needs so it can become healthy again.

Stress and bad lifestyle habits might be things you cannot or dont want to change but you can still grow healthy hair. It just might take a little longer. Using the tips herein will still benefit your hair.

Nutrients are another major factor impacting our hair health. Our lives are so busy there is just no way to eat properly or to take massive amounts of herbs, vitamins, etc. so keep this simple. We can use Vitamin E which is for our skin, hair and nails. A decent amount of 1,000 mg a day should be enough. The other major vitamin is an un-tested theory that has worked well for alot of people and that is a prenatal vitamin. Vitamins that are coated are poorly processed by the body as the acid in the stomach has to firstly dissolve the coating which, by this time, the body is disposing of the vitamin leaving it without the desired affect of the vitamin. Prenatal vitamins usually are not coated and contain extra amino acids which are for hair, skin and nails. I have been told that we cannot overdose on vitamins so they should not hurt us as our body will just simply eliminate the excess. Yes, men too have successfully taken these as it appears there is nowhere else you can get all the ingredients in a prenatal vitamin in one place.

Drink at least one bottle of bottled water per day. Your body needs water for growth and health. If you can handle 3 or a day, that is even better but make sure it is at least one.

Everyone wants natural long hair but few know how to do it! The first trick to get long natural hair is to keep it natural! I know this sounds silly but it is the truth!

Hair loss and hair that refuses to grow is usually the result of the use of commercial hair products!

Take one look at the back of your shampoo or conditioner and ask yourself if you would eat this?

I bet you would say no! So why would you put it on your scalp!? Your skin and scalp will soak up chemicals rather quickly leading to stunted hair growth, hair loss, itchy scalp, bad hair days etc

So if you want natural long hair is that is longer than shoulder length, you need to stop using these chemical products.

If you want to wash your hair use a cup of baking soda mixed with a teaspoon of apple cider diluted in half a cup of water and then mix into a paste, apply on your hair and scrub your hair

This simple scrub will also provide increased blood flow to the scalp and allow natural long hair growth.

Next natural long hair tip is to wash your hair often with the recipe I just gave you. You can wash your hair often so long as it is not with commercial shampoos, if you wish to use commercial shampoos make sure you wash your hair less often and apply most of the shampoo on the hair and not your scalp- this keeps most of the chemicals away from the scalp.

If you are in a hurry and want a natural long hair look but cant wait for it to grow, you might want to look into natural long hair extensions. Trim your natural hair every 3 to 4 weeks. This helps you grow your natural hair long and fast, trimming your hair gets rid of the split ends and may send air and moisture to your scalp which makes your hair grow longer faster.

Avoid using hair color if you want to get natural long hair, avoid dying your hair for a while, this is because hair dye is not natural and will give your long hair split ends, and the ammonia which is found in most hair dye’s is bad for your hair and health

Scalp moisture is crucial and you need a clean, healthy scalp for that I recommend you use Nara hair oil, it contains the finest and [purest oils and herbs that will not only clean your hair, they will also nourish your scalp and provide ample blood flow to your hair roots, allowing them to grow faster

Hope these simple tips help you grow your natural hair longer! Natural hair growth is always best for youthful healthier looking hair.

It’s finally summer time and you are probably ready to have some fun in the sun! If you are anything like me, you are likely trying to soak up every bit of summer because before you know it, winter will be here again. I love biking, taking long walks, swimming, or spending all day at amusement parks during the summer months. All of these activities are great for my mind, body and soul, but wreck havoc on delicate tresses if they are not properly cared for.

It’s just as important to take extra precaution in the summer’s sun as it is in the harsh winter’s frigid weather. Many people don’t realize that the sun dries out the hair and may leave it brittle if it’s not properly and regularly moisturized; remember, just because there’s humidity in the air, doesn’t mean there’s automatically moisture in your hair. Here are some tips to keep your hair healthy and flourishing during these wonderful summer months.

1. Keep your hair protected by wearing buns, extensions, or twists to avoid total exposure to sun 2. If you are planning to stay in the sun for long periods of time, use a protective sunscreen on your hair before stepping out. Be sure to wash the hair afterwards. 3. Stay away from heating appliances such as flat-iron, hot combs, or curling irons. If you MUST use them, be sure to use a heat protectant. 4.
