Ways To Care For Your Long Hair

Oil your hair
It really takes no major effort to oil your hair. In fact, when you sit to massage your hair while oiling, the blood flow becomes better which in turn stimulates your scalp and hair. Remember, relaxed hair has better growth. Oiling and massaging helps your hair grow wonderfully. Try it out for better hair.

Clean your hair
Clean and absolutely washed hair makes space for better growth. Wash your hair gently twice a week or probably thrice a week. Do not attempt washing it every day as this can make your hair brittle and dry. Remember not to run comb on your hair when it is wet. This again can make your hair dry and brittle thus, reducing hair growth. Also, it is always better to use warm or cold water when washing your hair. Hot water can damage your hair and, in turn stop its growth.

Condition hair well
Long hair deserves to be nurtured and, only a conditioner can give it the necessary nourishment. Yes, when you have shampooed your hair, remember to condition it as well. This way your long hair would receive the necessary nourishment and shine.

Trim regularly
Most of you who desire to have long strong hair, feel that trimming would lessen the hair length. Well, actually when you trim your hair, you are removing those unwanted split ends and, improving hair growth. This would allow your hair to grow longer and stronger.

Style well
You should be extra careful when styling your hair. Excess heat or chemicals can really spoil your long hair. Tight ponies can also ruin your beautiful hair. Avoid them as well. Remember, a loose pony would allow your hair to grow well and, make it look better.

Herbal way
Instead of using chemicals, you can use natural products to soften your hair. How about applying curd as a conditioner once in a while or, a mix of vinegar and castor oil for your hair treatments? In fact, amla juice is also good for your long hair. You can apply it to your hair and, look out for splendid growth.

Proper diet
If you wish to have healthy hair, your diet should be balance. If your diet is not healthy, following the other tips would not make any difference to your hair.

Follow these tips well and enjoy strong thick hair for a lifetime. These tips are lifetime efforts for strong beautiful hair.
