Getting a haircut should not feel like the end of the world, but whether you like it or not, a trim every 6-8 weeks is really good for your hair. Getting regular trims keep your tips looking healthy and prevent split ends from spreading and damaging more hair, which could cause you to chop off even more hair down the road… Your hair needs a surprising amount of maintenance in order to truly thrive, but your daily hair care routine could be causing more damage than you think. If you use blow-dryers, straighteners, elastic hair bands, too much dry shampoo and occasionally brush wet hair, your hair could be in trouble. Hair damage occurs through friction, heat and harsh chemical treatments, like colouring. It’s important to wash your hair, especially if you use a lot of styling products and heat tools. Shampoo can effectively remove dirt, oil and product build-up from scalp and revitalise your locks. How often you choose to wash your hair depends on your hair type and the kind of shampoo and conditioner you use. If your shampoo and conditioner is from a conventional brand, there’s a chance it is full of silicones, parabens or sulfates, and made from low-quality materials. Individually, they can each be harmful to your hair, but sometimes a combination of these ingredients are blended into a product that will cause severe damage to your hair, and tricks it into looking clean when it is not. Coloring your hair is so much fun! Whether it’s your very first time, or you’ve already gone through every color on the spectrum and you tend to change your hair color up often, a new hair color can boost your confidence and make you fall in love with your hair all over again. With the right tools, you can lighten, darken or add some funky color to your locks. Whatever you decide to do, just know that altering your natural color will harm the overall health of your hair. Here are a few tips and tricks to keep in mind to protect your hair and its new color. There are some people who wash their hair every single day, and others who only wash their hair once a week. Why is it so different from person to person? Is there a trade secret to keeping your hair fresh and healthy between washes? Not exactly, but there are a few tips and tricks to follow that will help! Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference. If you’re struggling to grow your hair, you probably need to make a few changes to your current hair care routine. Of course, you already know that its important to trim often, never brush wet hair and resist the urge to color, because this helps maintain healthy hair. Here are some other useful tips that will help your hair grow in no time! There is nothing worse than the look and feel of oily hair. The problem is that it’s completely natural, caused by an over-active sebaceous gland. Sebum benefits the hair, making it smooth, hydrated and strong, so it won’t dry out or break, but too much sebum will make your hair look slick and greasy. Sometimes, you over produce sebum because of internal factors like hormones, but other times it can be because of your hair care and beauty routine. Luckily, there are a few simple ways to naturally combat oily hair! When you look at the list of ingredients on your bottles of shampoo and conditioner, how many do you actually recognise and understand? Most people pick and choose their hair care products based on the promises made on the front of the bottle, and never bother to read the ingredients on the back. That can be very harmful to your hair, because if the shampoo is full of synthetic cleaning agents, it will do more harm than good. Run your hands through your hair from root to tip, but pay close attention to your ends. How do they feel? Are they soft and smooth, or are they rough, frizzy and split? If your ends are on the damaged side, your hair is in immediate need of some hydration. Shampoo is just shampoo, right?

Wrong.

In the beauty industry, there is no such thing as just shampoo. Hair care products are specially crafted and designed with your hair in mind, which means you can’t just grab any product off the shelf and hope it will work out for the best. Using the wrong shampoo would be detrimental to the health of your hair, but how do you choose when there are so many options and products to pick from? The simple solution is as follows: always use a natural shampoo. Natural shampoos are packed full of the right vitamins and minerals your body needs to maintain a balanced scalp and healthy hair. With that in mind, you can then look at the specifics of your hair and what it is telling you it needs to thrive. Perhaps you ends are craving moisture, so you choose an Aloe Vera shampoo, or maybe you want the elasticity and strength of your hair to increase, so you use a keratin shampoo. Whatever you need, you will definitely find the perfect natural shampoo for your hair, and never use another product again! If you don’t know what a “sulfate” is by now, your hair is in serious trouble. Put simply, sulfates are the key ingredient to making a shampoo bubbly. The two kinds of sulfates you’re most likely to find in your hair care products are sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate. When used in shampoo, sulfates cleanse all kinds of dirt, oil, product build-up and dead skin cells from your scalp, and washes it away with water, taking away the nutrients your hair needs to thrive. It’s time to take a closer look at your favourite products in order to make the best choices for your hair, and switch to a sulfate free shampoo. Some people are blessed with beautiful hair, already full of body, but for others, it can feel like a challenge to get even a touch of volume in your locks. What you need are some volume-building tricks. If your hair is struggling to hold a style, or if it’s looking limp and lifeless, or if your hair is just feeling weighed down, you are in immediate need of a volumizing shampoo. A volumizing shampoo can be used on all hair types and gives your hair an extra needed boost without weighing it down, and the best product to start with is a charcoal shampoo.
