Healthy hair is one of the most important parts of our appearance. When it looks good, we feel good. But when our hair is dry, brittle, or lifeless, we can suffer. It’s hard to figure out how to get healthy hair. And for many women, that’s a problem: they struggle to keep their mane looking good. But the struggle doesn’t have to be so hard! Here are some easy ways you can get your hair looking healthier, fuller, and shinier than ever before.

Use the Right Shampoo

Using the wrong shampoo can make your hair look worse. Invest in the right shampoo to get the best results. Here are some great shampoo recommendations to make sure you’re keeping your hair healthy and hydrated. Clean your hair regularly. The best way to get a healthy mane is to keep up with your hair care routine and trim your hair regularly. Many people say you should never trim your hair too often, but it is always best to go to the hairdresser if you need a trim. Trimming helps your hair grow faster, but helps it look healthier and shinier.

Set Conditions for Your Hair

The hair itself is the biggest source of damage. Being exposed to the sun and harsh indoor conditions can take a toll on your hair. When it’s dry, oil production can slow down. Dryness and lack of moisture is a breeding ground for frizz. Over time, we can allow these conditions to wreak havoc on our hair. Try to prevent them from happening. Keep your hair conditioned: It needs to be conditioned and moisturized if you want to maintain healthy hair.

Wash Up & Brush Up

Healthy hair requires a regular haircut, so you’ll need to get it done. Since it’s healthy hair, your hair has natural oils that need to be cleaned up and tidied up. Don’t skip this step, especially if you don’t wash your hair often, and don’t let it get too dry. Don’t be afraid to blow-dry, even if your hair is fine–getting a good blow-dry can make all the difference to healthy hair.

Use the right products. Drying your hair can sometimes be a problem, so first, look at the products you have on hand. The same styling products you use every day probably aren’t doing your hair any favors. Too many of those ingredients and products can strip your hair of its natural oils and leave it dry and brittle.

Take Care of the Scalp

Besides the health of the hair follicles on top of your head, a healthy scalp is just as important. The top of the scalp is where blood flows into the body. If it becomes irritated, stained, or dry, you can have serious problems with your hands. Your hair follicles need healthy circulation, meaning that your scalp needs to be cleaned frequently to keep the blood flowing smoothly. If you notice that your hair is looking dull, your scalp could be a problem! If you want to get the blood pumping into your hair, a scalp massage may be just the thing you need.

Include Protein In Your Diet

Hair is composed of protein, and protein is necessary for healthy hair growth. For women, this is important because protein plays an important role in hair growth. The food source of this vital protein is egg whites and oatmeal, both excellent protein sources. To get the best of both worlds, you can mix an egg white with oatmeal and use it to make your protein pancakes for breakfast.

Conclusion

Hair is a sensitive organ and can be affected by many external factors, such as stress or an unhealthy lifestyle. Do some natural things like visiting a Denver hair salon to improve the condition of your hair. Shampoo your hair regularly, avoid conditioners, add essential oils to your shampoo, use a wet brush to detangle, drink lots of water and eat protein-rich food like meat.

Over the winter I spent a miserable 4 months recovering from a painful injury and surgery. During the recovery process my skin and nails were neglected. Let’s face it, when you’re in pain nothing else matters. Including your personal beauty routine.

Six weeks ago I finally got back into the habit of taking care of myself and implemented a new beauty routine. To start off with…I had to get my nails back into shape. I’m not the type of person to run to a salon and get them professionally done. I have better things to do with my time and money. I’m all about finding affordable solutions that work…at home!

My nail care routine consists of 3 hand and nail soaks a week. I have a plastic bowl with low sides that I fill up with warm water and a few drops of my favorite moisturizing lotion. I stir it around and stick my hand down into it while watching TV for 10 minutes, three times a week (each hand).

These moisturizing hand soaks have softened up the skin on my hands and I swear my cuticles and nails look 100% better. Healthier and moisturized. I use a natural cocoa butter body lotion in my hand soaks and it does the trick beautifully. It’s affordable and readily available. Any brand will do.

I invested $28 in a 4-piece nail care kit called Perfect Formula. It came with a bottle of Pink Gel Coat, a bottle of My Favorite Top Coat and 3 Gel Nail Colors.

Twice a week for 6 weeks I applied the Pink Gel Coat onto my nails. Once a week I used polish remover to remove it before applying a new coat. It dries really quickly (within 10 minutes) and gives your nails a healthy shine and makes the white of your nails look a little brighter.

Once the 6 weeks was over with I ended up with long and beautiful nails once again! Now that they’re long and strong…I’ve been applying one of the colors that came in the kit and topping it with the My Favorite Top Coat that also came in the kit. Again, the polishes dry faster than most other brands and in my honest opinion…they resist chipping a few days longer too!

I’m really hard on my nails. I’m a prolific hand washer, gardener, crafter, cleaner and use my laptop all of the time. Those activities really take a beating on your nails! The photograph shows my one hand 6 weeks after I started the nailcare program. Fantastic results! (please ignore the swelling, I’m still recovering from my broken arm and hand!).

Where did I get it? I purchased it from QVC for around $28 bucks! It was the best $28 bucks that I’ve ever spent for nailcare products. I love them so much that I wanted to tell all of my girlfriends on the blog about it!
