Best Hair Care Tips After Washing

To prevent tangled hair, you have to be prepared. Spend enough time for your hair also, just like how you spend for your skin. This is very effective in the long run.

Rough and dry hair remains more prone to get tangled. The reasons can be your food habit, the water that you use for hair wash or your hair styling products. The strength of the hair is what matters. Tangles will ultimately result in breakage and damage.

If you are ready to spend some time to care for your hair, we are here to help you with some effective tips to prevent tangled hair. The following are a few of the tips that you can try for your hair.

Shampooing

Shampooing: You can always prevent tangled hair when you are using high quality shampoo. Also you will need to shampoo your hair once in a week. If you are worried about your hair going dry, you can always use oil before shampooing it.

Conditioner: Conditioner is very important when it comes to hair care. Conditioning your hair after every wash will also help prevent your hair from tangling. It is also a good idea to go in for natural conditioners such as egg whites and henna.

Cold Water: The final rinse after a hair wash with cold water can also help with the tangling process. This will help with loosening the hair cuticles, making the hair softer and shinier. Lukewarm or cool water is the best option; try to avoid warm water.

Air dry: Avoid high heat settings to dry your hair when you use a hair drier. The best idea is to allow your hair to air dry. Direct heat will make your hair rougher and this will only increase the chance of tangling. But, low heat setting will not be that harmful.

Comb, Don't Brush

Comb, Don't Brush: Always use a wide toothed comb to work on the hair that is washed. This will help work with the knots. The best practice is to avoid combing your hair when it is wet. You can use just your fingers to adjust it.

Don’t bunch: A very common mistake that most women do is to bunch up dried hair with towel. The best option will be to slowly rub the hair with the towel or use your fingers to smooth the hair. Rubbing too much hard with towel will increase the chance of tangling.

Quality hair products: Don’t compromise in the quality of hair products that you use. These styling products may give you an instant shine and glow, but in long turn, they will make your hair dry and brittle.

Before Sleeping: When you sleep, you are sure to tangle your hair the most. A good practice will be to comb your hair out and then put it in a bun, braid or a ponytail. This way you wake up without tangled hair.
