Say Goodbye to Split Ends and Breakage

If you want to look your best as often as possible, there are things you can do to keep your hair healthy and free of breakage and split ends. The following suggestions help you treat your strands as carefully as your stylist does. That way, you can enjoy the feeling of a fresh new haircut for as long as possible. Easy to implement and offering immediate results, the ideas don’t require a lot of time or work from you. Some tips to help you get the most mileage out of your new haircut are:

Do Not Brush Wet Hair After Your New Haircut

A lot of people make the mistake of brushing their hair once they’re out of the shower or bath. All it does is cause it to break off. To avoid split ends and breakage, use a wide-toothed comb or your fingers to remove tangles gently. When your hair is fully dry, you can brush and smooth it out. Using a brush with natural bristles is best because it doesn’t pull your hair out from the root, either.

Lay Off the Heat Tools

Heat is very damaging to your hair. If possible, try to wear a style that minimizes the amount of time you spend drying, curling or straightening your strands. Keep temperature settings on your heat tools low and spend more time styling your hair if you have no other choice. High temps can fry your strands and cause frizz. If you can’t live without your hairdryer, curling iron or flat iron, try to use them less by experimenting with different hairstyles.

Deep Condition at Least Once a Week

Restore moisture to your hair by using a deep conditioning product regularly. It’s especially important to do so during the summer or if you live in a climate that experiences extreme temperatures year-round. The added moisture allows your hair to shine and grow to greater lengths because it isn’t brittle. Make sure to allow the conditioner to work its magic for as long as the manufacturer recommends that you do. Set a timer and read a magazine or watch your favorite TV show. Our services also include haircuts, hair coloring, keratin treatments, and Dominican blowouts.

Protect your Scalp from the Sun

When possible, wear a hat while spending time outdoors. It keeps your scalp from becoming sunburned and your hair from drying out. The wider the brim, the better, too, so your face doesn’t come into contact with harmful UVA and UVB rays. Spending time outdoors is a wonderful idea, but it doesn’t need to damage your healthy hair. With a little advanced preparation, it won’t.

Eat Foods Rich in Biotin

Biotin is a substance that helps you have healthier hair. You can easily get more of it into your body through your diet. Some foods that have biotin in them include mushrooms, avocado, swiss chard, salmon, sunflower seeds, and peanut butter. Add them to your list for the next time you go shopping. You’ll have stronger, healthier hair and skin also!

Invest in Satin Pillowcases

A lot of damage is done to your hair at night while you sleep. Rather than sleep on your standard cotton pillowcases, try a smoother material such as satin. It’s gentler on your strands by keeping them from breaking off prematurely. You’ll find the pillowcases come in a variety of sizes, colors, and patterns to meet your needs, too. Matching them to your existing décor will be easy because of the many options available for you to choose from.

Now you know how to prevent damage from necessitating a haircut sooner than later. You can let your hair grow out some before having to get a new haircut. When you visit the hair salon, you’ll impress your hairdresser with how healthy your hair is despite having not been treated or seen by a professional for weeks. It won’t be dried out, frizzy, or full of static, the way that it would be if you didn’t follow the advice given here.

Make Your New Haircut Last Longer By Minimizing the Damage Your Hair is Subjected To

Keep your hair looking and feeling its best after a new haircut. Follow the tips listed above to get more mileage between appointments with your stylist. Look your absolute best for as long as possible by being gentle with your hair, avoiding harsh practices concerning its treatment, and using the highest quality products you can. You’ll be able to feel great about how your hair  haircut looks and feels long after you’ve visited the salon last.
