A lot of people are not happy with their hair. This happens when people do not properly take care of their hair and don’t understand how to correct the problems. If this applies to you, there is hope. The below article will provide you with effective hairdressing techniques so that you can have great-looking hair again.

Avoid damaging your hair by brushing it only when it is dry. Hair is much more likely to break when it is wet than when it is dry. To keep damage low, brush the hair before washing or wait until it dries a bit.

If you value your hair, don’t use a blow dryer. Styling with heat can really damage your hair and leave it frizzy and unruly. Instead, when your hair is wet keep it in a towel until it dries out. This will lessen the frizz as your hair dries on its own accord.

There are now products available that will give your hair the effect of just having bathed in the salty ocean. Seek out sprays that are called “salt spray” or another similar name. To make a similar version at home, simply dissolve one teaspoonful of table salt in one cupful of water. You then want around ten lavender oil drops, this puts the ocean right into a bottle.

Never rub or tug at your hair with a towel while drying it. This can break the hair, resulting in frizzy and frayed hair. Instead, pat, blot or gently squeeze excess moisture from your hair, or wrap it loosely in a towel. In addition, you shouldn’t comb or brush your hair when wet unless you are using a wide-toothed comb.

Dull Hair

If you have problems with dull hair, try using a clarifying shampoo. The cause of dull hair is often the build-up of other hair products. To prevent buildup, make sure that you use a clarifying shampoo at least once a week, as this type of shampoo will thoroughly remove any product residue that is in your hair.

Spread any conditioner you use evenly through your hair. Allow your conditioner a minimum of two minutes to absorb into the hair before you rinse it out.

Always leave 48 hours before your first shampoo after a color treatment on your hair. When your hair has had color applied, the cuticle requires time to reseal otherwise the color will quickly fade. Even getting your hair wet can re-open the cuticle in those first few days. You will be rewarded when you are patient with shiny and healthy hair.

Change things up in your shower, and use a different brand of hair product every once in a while. Switching up the types of shampoos you use can really have a positive effect on your hair. If one brand leaves behind excess residue, you may find that another brand is effective at removing that residue.

When you brush your hair, begin at the ends and work upward. Work the knots out of the ends slowly and carefully to avoid any breakage. As you do this, you can then carefully brush from root to tip.

When you exit the shower, don’t dry hair with a towel roughly. Being rough can cause breakage. Instead, lightly squeeze out any extra moisture your hair has. Next, pat the hair dry with a clean towel. This is best done with a soft towel, not a rough one.

If you want to refresh a flat hair style near the end of your day, consider a spray of natural spring water. To do this, simply spray a small amount of water on your hair and rub it in lightly, moving your palms in a circular motion over it. This can help volumize your hair.

If you suffer from dry hair, take a warm shower instead of a hot shower. Water that is too hot can cause problems by drying out the hair and scalp. Warm water is much better for your hair and your body. You should use cool water towards the end of a shower for shinier hair.

By now, you probably have some new plans for your hair. Having a plan, based on knowledge, is always smart. Think about what you should do and use it so your hair can look great.
