Top Tips to Get your Hair in Shape for Summer (Inspire Limerick May 2015)

www.clarewiththehair.com

Winter play’s havoc on your hair and if you want to get your hair  in tip top condition for summer and if  you want hair that shines, and  hair that feels super soft, you need to follow these hair tips:

Be gentle when washing.
Wash your hair please do not scrub your hair, be gentle when massaging the shampoo and conditioner in, let the product do the work and not brute force. Towel dry by patting/sqeezing and not rubbing with a towel. I always comb hair out with a detangling brush, there are many types and most are very good.

Avoid heat
Shiny hair is healthy hair – so don’t abuse it! Use heat-styling as infrequently as you can get away with, Using heat every day, or a few times a week will seriously affect the quality of your hair and if you have to use heat, use a heat protectant product but avoid products that contain alcohol, which can dry out your hair and strip its shine. Sounds simple but if your hair is in distress you will have to be very patient with it while you await the new hair growth that you will not expose to the drying elements.

Hydrate your body. 

Drink plenty of water as this will ensure that your hair is properly moisturized from the inside out. About eight glasses a day is ideal. Keep a bottle by your side and sip from it often. Once you begin drinking 8+ glasses a day you will never look back, this not only helps your hair, but also improves the look of your skin and makes the whites of your eyes really bright. If your struggle with 8 glasses, begin at 4 this week and each week add a glass to your daily total, you will be at 8 glasses in no time.

Hair Rinse
Mix two tablespoons apple cider vinegar with one cup luke warm water, and use to douse your hair after washing. Rinse thoroughly, and follow with a light conditioner. The acetic acid in apple cider vinegar will remove residue from product buildup and help you get shiny, lustrous locks. Also rince the conditioner out with water a little cooler than you washed your hair in. I have used this tip since I was about 11 years old and when I have taken a break from this step I really see a difference.

Shiny , Glossy, Fabulous Hair Made Easy

So you want hair that shines? you want hair that feels super soft? you want hair that look as good as it feels? well then you need to read on to our Easy ways to get shiny hair tips.

. 1. Say yes to hair serum.
Shine serums are available that have been specially formulated to give frizzy or unruly hair a sleek sheen. Find some great options at your pharmacy, beauty supply store, or hair salon. These serum’s moisturize your hair with a light concentration of oils or silicone. To apply, “use a pea-sized amount to start,” you can always add more but you can not take away if you add too much. “Start at the bottom of your hair and work your way up, rubbing it into wet hair with your hands.” It’s important not to use too much serum, because it can weigh hair down, but if you feel you need more moisture, go ahead and add a bit more.

  2. Eat nutritious foods.
I recommend getting your daily recommended allowances of vitamins A and E for shiny, healthy hair. Also, be sure you’re eating plenty of protein, which promotes hair growth. “Eggs and nuts are excellent sources of protein,” What you put into your body really does affect how your hair and skin looks

Less is more with your hair, less product, less heat, less color. 

3. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Shiny hair is healthy hair – so don’t abuse it! Limit your hair’s exposure to harsh chemicals, like the chlorine in pools, and lye-based hair-relaxing creams. Use heat-styling as infrequently as you can get away with, and avoid products that contain alcohol, which can dry out your hair and strip its shine. Sounds simple but of your hair is in distress you will have to be very patient with it while you await the new hair growth that you will not expose to the drying elements.

4. Hydrate your body.
Just like the food you eat, Drinking plenty of water will ensure that your hair is properly moisturized from the inside out. About eight glasses a day is ideal. Keep a bottle by your side and sip from it often. Once you begin drinking 8+ glasses a day you will never look back, this helps your skin, hair and makes the whites of your eyes really bright.

5, Hair Rinse
Mix two tablespoons apple cider vinegar with one cup water, and use to douse your hair after washing. Rinse thoroughly, and follow with a light conditioner. The acetic acid in apple cider vinegar will remove residue from product buildup and help you get shiny, lustrous locks. I have used this tip since I was about 11 years old and when I have taken a break from this tip I really see a difference.
