Wash Your Hair Two To Three Times a Week

 

If you wash your hair every day and wonder why your hair is quite limp and lacks volume, then the frequency of your hair washes could be the reason. Your hair contains natural oils that hydrate it, as well as giving it a shine. If you wash too frequently, then it immediately dries out your hair as the natural oils get stripped from your hair. So although it can be tempting to wash your hair often, two or three times a week is the max that you should be washing it. This is also very true for those of us that have colored or bleached hair. That has already stripped some of the natural oils away, so you don’t want to strip more away unnecessarily.

Don’t Brush Hair Too Often

 

There is no need to be all Marcia Brady about brushing your hair. In fact, that can have a detrimental effect on your hair. Twice a day is fine for brushing your hair, as well as your teeth. The key is being gentle with your hair too. If you treat your hair well, then it will pay you back by looking good as well as being shiny and unbroken.

 

Use Natural Hair Masks

 

From time to time our hair does need a natural boost. But there are many hair masks that can actually cause more damage. So look for some natural alternatives, like egg whites, honey, coconut oil or avocado. All of these things have plenty of protein and healthy fats to help your hair to repair in a completely natural way. Good for you and your hair.

 

At the end of the day, just making a few simple changes can help to you have the hair that you’ve always wanted. It doesn’t have to cost a lot or mean investing in anything fancy. Change your mindset, and you’ll change your hair.
