Tips For Long And Healthy Hair

By Sheila Venancia

Have you ever wished that your hair were longer, thicker and healthier?  Who doesn’t!

Long, thick hair looks beautiful any way you wear it.  But for some of us, thin hair can be an obstacle. Maybe, you are so used to your short hair style that you are just simply afraid to make a change. Or possibly, you think that growing your hair out will take too much effort and look bad during the process. Fear not….. It is easier to get longer and thicker hair than you might think. Just try these easy tips.

Sheila-Venancia-styleFirst, get a good, professional haircut. Don’t be afraid to go a bit shorter than you might like the first time. Be sure to tell your stylist what you have in mind and make sure to ask them to cut off all the dry and split ends you may have. If your stylist knows what the future goal is for your hair, they can give you a cut and style that will allow your hair to grow in thicker and more beautiful while you transition to the longer hair style you always dreamed of having.

As your hair grows in, return for regular trims every 6 to 8 weeks to keep your hair healthy, strong, and in the best condition to get longer and thicker. Ask your stylist to apply a salon-quality conditioner to keep the hair smooth and strong.

Wash your hair at least every few days, but be sure to not over wash Washing hair too often pulls on the strands, damages the scalp, and rids your hair of the natural oils that are essential for growing longer, thicker hair.

Gently condition your hair every day. Apply your conditioning product generously and massage into scalp for 3 to 5 minutes. After rinsing, put a little extra conditioner on the ends and leave it in.

Detangle your hair regularly using a wide-toothed comb. Knots and tangles interfere with the hair’s ability to grow longer and thicker. Don’t over dry your hair with a hair dryer. Instead, blow-dry hair lightly on low heat, or better yet, let it air-dry.

Avoid using curlers, hot rollers, curling irons, or straightening irons. They all cause hair to dry out and damage it. Instead, invest in a top-quality brush with natural bristles. Hair cannot grow longer than its damaged ends. Instead of getting thicker, your hair will actually start to thin.

Use a mask once a week to nourish your hair. Be sure to follow the directions on the package. Generally, you need to let the mask sit in your hair under a plastic cap for at least 30 minutes, then rinse and style as usual.

Be smart about your hairstyle. Wear your hair up or pulled back on hot days to reduce sweat and grime, but wear your hair loose whenever possible. Too much pulling, tying, braiding, twisting, and fussing breaks the hair strands and makes it harder for you to grow long, thick hair.

Last, but not necessarily least, lead a healthy life with good nutrition, adequate rest, regular exercise and good stress management practices. Each of these “life influences” also has a significant impact on your hair.
