How to get natural healthy and beautiful hair?
Keeping your hair healthy and stylish at the same time can be a balancing act. With the right approach, you can maintain a natural and beautiful look without using a lot of styling products every day. Check out some of these tips to change your beauty routine and keep your hair looking great!
Keep your hair naturally healthy and beautiful
Combing while wet can damage your hair. Before showering, take a wide-toothed brush or comb and start at the ends of your hair.
Untangle and move up to the scalp, being careful not to tug or pull on the hair.
If your hair is frizzy, you can wait until after the shower and brush your hair with a wide-toothed comb while it’s still wet.
Shower with warm water, not too hot.
Hot water can remove natural oils from your hair. Fortunately, you don’t have to take a cold shower! Lower the water temperature until the water is warm but not hot. This will protect your hair and prevent it from drying out after shampooing. [2]
Optimum temperature is below 112°F (44°C). If steam is coming out of the shower, it may be too hot.

These ingredients can dry out the hair. When shopping for shampoo and conditioner, look for bottles labeled “silicon and sulfate free.” They don’t over-dry your hair, and you keep the natural oils on your scalp. [3]
Also avoid products that contain alcohol, as alcohol can also dry out your hair.
Concentrate the shampoo on the scalp.
No need to wash every hair. In the shower, wet your hair and hold a spoonful of shampoo in hand. Work the shampoo into your scalp, then use your fingers to gently massage the product into your hair.
When you rinse, the shampoo reaches the ends of your hair, leaving it completely clean. Applying shampoo directly to the ends of your hair can dry out and damage your hair. Also, the ends of the hair are rarely messy or greasy.
While it’s enjoyable, try to resist the temptation to scratch your scalp with your fingernails when you wash your hair. This can damage the scalp and cause problems like dryness and irritation.
Do a hair mask once a week.
Give your hair a little love each week. While still in the shower, apply a hair mask or deep conditioner to the ends of your hair and leave on for 10 minutes.
Rinse well before leaving the shower to add extra moisture and shine to hair.
Look for deep-acting hair masks and conditioners with avocado, grapeseed, or olive oil for natural hydration.
You can make your own hair mask by mixing 2 tablespoons (30ml) coconut oil, 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil and 1/2 cup (120ml) honey.
