The heat tools should be limited in use frequency, and before using, apply the heat protectant.

The wet hair is easy to break if you detangle it. And for necessary, use your finger to gently detangle.

Extra details in regards to nutrition: get enough protein. The average woman needs between 63-75 g day. Insufficient amounts of nutrients such as iron, zinc, vitaminsA, C, D, E, B-6, and B-12, can also affect hair growth, possibly hair loss.

Here are some general do's and don'ts for hair care:

Do:

  • Wash your hair regularly: How often depends on your hair type, scalp condition, and styling products used. Generally, aim for every other day or every two to three days.
  • Use a gentle shampoo and conditioner: Choose products suitable for your hair type (oily, dry, normal, colored, etc.). Look for sulfate-free shampoos if you have concerns about color fading or scalp irritation.
  • Condition your hair regularly: Apply conditioner to the lengths and ends of your hair, avoiding the roots. Conditioner helps hydrate and detangle hair, making it more manageable.
  • Deep condition regularly: Depending on your hair type, deep conditioning once a week or every two weeks can provide extra moisture and nourishment.
  • Gently detangle hair: Use a wide-tooth comb to detangle wet hair, starting from the ends and working your way up to the roots to minimize breakage.
  • Treat your hair gently: Avoid harsh brushing, pulling, or tight hairstyles that can damage hair.
  • Minimize heat styling: Excessive heat styling with curling irons, straighteners, or blow dryers can damage hair. If you must use heat styling tools, apply a heat protectant spray beforehand and use the lowest heat setting possible.
  • Trim your hair regularly: Regular trims (every 6-8 weeks for most hair types) help get rid of split ends and promote healthy hair growth.
  • Eat a healthy diet: A balanced diet rich in essential nutrients like protein, vitamins, and iron can contribute to overall hair health.
  • Manage stress: Chronic stress can contribute to hair loss. Relaxation techniques like yoga or meditation might be helpful.
Don't:

  • Wash your hair with hot water: Hot water can strip hair of natural oils, making it dry and brittle. Use lukewarm water for washing and rinsing.
  • Over-shampoo: Frequent shampooing can remove natural oils from the scalp, leading to dryness and irritation.
  • Use harsh chemicals: Avoid hair products with harsh chemicals like sulfates or alcohol, which can damage hair.
  • Skip conditioner: The conditioner helps hydrate and protect hair, especially after shampooing.
  • Brush your hair too often: Excessive brushing can stimulate the scalp and lead to oil production, but it can also cause breakage.
  • Go to bed with wet hair: Fungus thrives in a moist environment. Sleeping with wet hair can increase the risk of scalp infections.
  • Ignore scalp problems: If you experience persistent dandruff, itching, or hair loss, consult a dermatologist to determine the cause and get proper treatment.
Remember: These are general guidelines, and what works best for your hair will depend on your hair type and condition. Consulting a hairstylist can provide more specific recommendations for your hair care routine.

Hey, here are some do's and don't to follow.

What to do:
  1. Wash your hair regularly but not too often: Shampooing 2-3 times a week is usually enough for most hair types. Over-washing can strip the hair of its natural oils, leading to dryness and brittleness.
  2. Use a conditioner: Conditioners help to moisturize and protect the hair, making it softer and easier to manage. Choose a conditioner suited to your hair type and concerns (e.g., moisturizing, volumizing, or repairing).
  3. Trim your hair regularly: Regular trims help prevent split ends and keep your hair looking healthy and fresh. Aim for a trim every 6-8 weeks.
  4. Protect your hair from heat styling: Always use a heat protectant before using hot tools like blow dryers, curling irons, or straighteners. This helps minimize heat damage.
  5. Eat a balanced diet: Hair health is closely linked to nutrition. Ensure your diet includes vitamins and minerals like biotin, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for hair growth and strength.
  6. Use gentle hair care products: Opt for sulfate-free shampoos and products with natural ingredients, as harsh chemicals can strip your hair and scalp of essential nutrients.
  7. Massage your scalp: Massaging your scalp stimulates blood flow, which can encourage hair growth and improve overall scalp health.
What not to do:
  1. Avoid excessive heat: Overuse of heat styling tools can damage your hair over time, leading to dryness, breakage, and split ends. Try to limit heat styling to special occasions or use lower heat settings.
  2. Don’t brush wet hair: Wet hair is more fragile and prone to breakage. Use a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush designed for wet hair to gently detangle your strands.
  3. Avoid tight hairstyles: Hairstyles that pull tightly on your hair, like tight ponytails or braids, can cause tension and lead to hair breakage or traction alopecia (hair loss due to pulling).
  4. Don’t skip the sunscreen: Just like your skin, your hair can also be damaged by UV rays. If you're out in the sun for extended periods, wear a hat or use hair care products that offer UV protection.
  5. Don’t use harsh chemicals too often: Frequent use of hair dyes, perms, or chemical straighteners can weaken your hair, leading to damage. If you color your hair, try to space out treatments and give your hair time to recover between applications.
  6. Avoid over-brushing: Brushing too frequently or aggressively can cause breakage and split ends. Brush gently and only when necessary to avoid unnecessary stress on your strands.
