As Free As My Hair

Hair. Short or long, blonde or brunette: it's there. But how can you keep care of your lovely locks without damaging it? How can you make it look great day by day? Here are some tips to make your strands be less of a hassle, and be healthy!

Get a Trim... Regularly

One of the most told tips is true: a regular trim is a necessity to have hair nice and healthy. Snipping off dead ends is not only cheap at most hair salons, it's a quick and easy way to have you hair grow longer!

Find a favorite salon near you, and go to them every six weeks for your hair's check up. Your hair will be stronger and longer in no time!

Soften Up

Deep conditioning is a girl's best friend for hair. Go to your local drugstore, and scan the aisles for these precious gems! Some affordable bests: Garnier Fructis Fortifying Deep Conditioner, Origins Rich Rewards, Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask, and Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Deeeeep Conditioner!

Use your deep conditioner once to twice for more moisturized and frizz free hair!

Take a Break

Hair dye may be fun - who doesn't like switching it up a bit? - but take it easy on your lovely locks. Going back to back with color treatments can seriously damage your hair.

With going extremes like dark hair to blonde, you have to go through serious usage of bleach in a hair salon, which burns when it's done. Not only is it painful, your hair's softness will ultimately go away, and you'll be left with (blonde) hair that will need some serious love and care. The same goes for blondes wanting to go darker. In fact - you can permanently lose your blonde tone! Treating hair regularly will be needed for hair dye fans. Do not go back and forth with dyeing, your hair will fall out and who would want that?

Harmful Heat

One of the worst things you can do to your hair? Burn it! Yes, hair can be burned.

Straightening hair on a regular basis is very tragic, embrace your curls! Not only are kinky curls always beautiful, making it striaght with flat irons and chemicals is very unhealthy. On a daily basis is worse! Use hair preparation sprays with brazilian keratin to help repair and keep your hair soft. When you buy new flat irons, make sure it has a ceramic plate and adjustable heat! Ceramic plates are better on your hair, and the ability to change heat is needed: you don't need to crank it all the way up for your desired style.

Your hair will always be apart of your first impression, so some great TLC on your locks is definitely important. Remember: treat it right, and you'll be very, very, happy!
