Everybody wants to look nice and hair is an important part of it. Nice hair makes feeling us confident about our physical aspects of everyday social interactions. Hair is made of a strong protein called Keratin present in the human body, blood vessel nourishes the hair bulb which delivers hormones and other substances. It means that if we take drugs or we adopt an unhealthy lifestyle it will affect the growth of the hair. “Healthy inside to be attractive outside”The growing of the hair varies in each individual and with ageing. When a new hair grows, pull the old hair out, that is why we have dry hair at the end. Hair colour is due to melanin, with ageing these cells that produce Melanin die and hair turn grey.

1. Wash it

But now let see how to take care of hair in six simple steps- ready? It might seem pretty stupid but washing hair is a simple gesture but it has rules to follow.

• Choose good brand products depending on each circumstance for example
  your hair can be coloured and treated, oily or too dry.
• Do not directly applicate the shampoo in your hair but dilute with water in your hand because shampoos are too aggressive.
• Water should not be too hot because hot water damages your scalp and make your hair weakens with cool water
• Do not wash too often, three washing per week is more than enough. Then the more you cleaning, the more it gets greasy.

2. Dry it, yes, but with care

Hot air like hot water damages and weakens hair, the right thing to do is to allow the hair to dry naturally, this is not always possible I agree especially in winter or in cold weather.

• Towel dry your hair gently to absorb the excess water
• Apply the diffuser to your device, this helps to diffuse heat equally and not only in one area
• Use natural, eco-friendly brush and comb, they will improve oil production which stops dandruff and helps your hair to stay nice and smooth. Plastic brushes increase the electric static of hair.

3. Trim your hair regularly

• Go to see your trusted hairdresser regularly. To me, my hairdresser is like my Doctor. Your hairdresser will tell you of any scalp problem, and you can always seek for advice.
• Trim the end every four/six weeks, your hair will grow faster and stronger. Also, your look appears tidier and healthier. Few millimetres make a massive difference in your hairstyle.
• If you are not an expert, please avoid YouTube tutorials.
• If you are on a budget, you can ask queries to your local college where they offer open  beauty services where students, supervised from a Senior hairstylist practice their profession. “One hand washes the other”

4. Do not straighten your hair too often.

Always use lotions and thermal protector before the use of the straightener these products helps to balance the static and protect from heat damages.

5. Eat Healthily

Eat healthily, nourish your body with vitamin and minerals, follow a healthy balanced diet. Your hair like your skin deserves to be treated if you want glowing skin and strong long hair.

Drink plenty of water, because your hair needs to be hydrated and need a certain amount of water to grow.

6. Exercise

Exercise is always the key right?
Exercising we put more oxygen in our blood, which moist the scalp. In addition sweat larger our hair follicles.The results? we are happier and our hair grow faster and stronger.
