It would be wrong to say that long hair is the dream of absolutely everyone. No – and that’s good. This means that in pursuit of trends, we still haven’t lost our individuality. And spit in the eyes of those who say that femininity = long hair. Let them go back in time and tell the druids and ancient warriors. Every woman has the right to her hair length, with which she will be feminine and beautiful. However, if you dream of becoming Rapunzel, but do not know how to grow long hair so that it does not lose its vitality and beauty, our article is for you.
Do not wash your hair every day
If you still wash your hair every day, then definitely give up this habit. Even oily scalps do not need daily cleaning. Shampoo washes off dust and styling products from hair and skin, as well as sebum – not just excess. This leads to damage to the hydrolipidic mantle, which can provoke even more secretion of natural fat. Therefore, frequent washing has two consequences. The scalp and hair can become:
dehydrated, weakened, fragile and susceptible to external stress and pathogenic influence;
greasy and untidy – to hang with “icicles”.
To avoid this, you need to “adjust” the schedule of washing your hair according to the type of scalp and hair, choose appropriate care cosmetics, additionally use a high-quality dry shampoo – if necessary, and also choose a hairstyle for each stage of pollution.
Do not overheat your hair and scalp
To follow this advice and grow not only long, but also full of life hair along the entire length from roots to tips, you need:
reduce the temperature of the water during rinsing,
use thermal (when styling and drying) and UV hair protection,
abandon drying on the hot mode of the hair dryer and frequent use of stylers (especially on the maximum temperature mode),
minimize exposure of hot water and steam to the hair during water treatments,
limit exposure to the sun, even with a hat (because under it the hair and scalp also overheat, which is harmful),
do not wind a towel on your hair for more than three minutes — the greenhouse effect harms your hair and skin.
