6 Tips for Long Hair Strong & Healthy

Long, beautiful hair definitely takes dedication, patience, and care - but the results are oh so worth it! 6 Tips attached to make your hair much more beautifully strong and healthy.

1. Use the right hair brush:
With long hair, It's super important that your hair brush helps smooth the hair shaft, to minimize any breakage. A boar bristle brush or a wet brush should be your best friend! A natural fiber brush, like the boar bristle, helps to minimize friction when brushing. Therefore, the hair doesn't get caught on any knots, leaving the hair smooth and silky without pulling out hair strands. The trusty wet brush also does a fantastic job as the bristles bend around any tangles putting less stress on the hair.
Start at the ends of the hair and work your way up rather than top down. This ensures no pressure is put on the roots, minimizing damage. Make sure you only ever use a wide-tooth comb when the hair is wet. Brushing when damp can cause a lot of damage as it stretches the strands rather than separates them.
2. Use a deeply hydrating treatment twice a week:
If style your hair with heat, you will already know the benefits of using a deep hydrating treatments to replenish any lost moisture.
The same effect can also be achieved by using an oil high in vitamin E, such as olive or avocado oil. To get the best results, gently warm the oil in a pan on a low heat and apply to your hair. Wrap in a warm towel and wash out after fourth five minutes. The heated oil allows it to be more easily absorbed into the hair, boosting its effective qualities.

3. Use hair bands not to pull at the root:
Using a band like a scrunchy, or the plastic coil type, means you hair is not pulled at the root. This makes sure the hair isn't under any unnecessary stress, keeping the strands strong and resilient.
4. Use a hair wrap or an old t-shirt to dry:
It may seem slightly simplistic, but those with curly hair are already in the know when it comes to this well tested trick. Rather than a waffle brushed cotton towel, use a smooth fabric, such as cotton or linen, to get rid of excess moisture before heat styling. This way the hair shaft is not caused to fray when you wrap it to dry. The strands are kept sleeker within the fabric, reducing the likelihood of frizz or damage.
5. Try not to over-wash your hair:
Your hair's natural oils are designed to condition and protect your tresses, so when you shampoo daily, it strips these vital oils away. It creates a vicious cycle of over-production of oils and a need to shampoo very often. Ideally, to keep your hair healthy, you only need to wash two to three times a week. Invest in a good natural dry shampoo to help tide you over until your next wash and add volume and texture.

6. Wash your hair the right way:
Healthy, beautiful, shiny hair starts in the shower! Do you reach for a large dollop of shampoo and scrunch it into the ends of your hair? If you answered yes (probably just like the majority of us would), then you should know shampooing the scalp ONLY is the right way to do it. That’s where most of the oil buildup happens, and it’s important to massage the shampoo into the scalp gently with your fingers (not nails!) to get rid of it. Giving your head an invigorating massage as you shampoo is a good way to encourage blood circulation and helps to detoxify the scalp. Then, use conditioner along the length of your hair to restore moisture.
Try and keep the water cool when rinsing, blasting your scalp with extremely hot water dries out your hair and create tangles that could result in breakage.
