Cut Your Hair Regularly
Cutting your hair twice a year can help prevent damage caused by ponytails, claw clips, and even moments when your hair gets tangled in a seatbelt or stuck in a zipper. Over time, your hair becomes stressed, which is normal, but it can lead to split ends, breakage, or even hair loss. Regular trims give your hair a fresh start, sealing split ends and preparing it for the next few months.
Hair Cutting Schedule:
Every 4-6 weeks: Maintain your current style.
Every 6-12 weeks: Maintain your style while being more budget-friendly.
Every 5-6 months: Allow your hair to grow longer while keeping it healthy.
Brush Your Hair
Leaving tangles and snarls in your hair can stress the strands, leading to breakage and weakened hair. A simple brushing routine, twice a day—once in the morning and once at night—will help keep your hair healthier and reduce the risk of damage.
Stop Sleeping with Wet Hair
Though I’m not a scientist, I’ve heard from many people who complain of oily hair or itchy scalps without any signs of dandruff. Often, the culprit is sleeping with wet hair. Your scalp nourishes your hair, and when it’s kept moist for extended periods, it doesn’t have the chance to breathe. This can weaken the hair, making it harder for it to grow long and shiny.
Take Your Vitamins
I’m not a medical professional, so it’s important to consult a doctor before adding any new vitamins to your routine. Personally, I take Vitamin D because I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my energy levels when I use it. As I have a Vitamin D deficiency, I need to supplement it to support my overall health. Vitamin D can also promote hair growth by helping follicles function properly. Additionally, I take a fish oil supplement to reduce scalp inflammation, which can damage hair follicles and contribute to hair loss. Omega-3s improve blood circulation to the scalp, providing hair follicles with the essential nutrients they need.
Hope this helps!
