Fortunately, there are things you can do to ensure healthy and long hair that will help along the way. The key for growing longer hair is to take proper care of them through proper nourishment, because if they are not healthy then there is no point growing them longer because weak hair keeps falling apart.

When you are treating your hair, you should treat them like your face with utmost care and gently to protect it from getting damaged which could be protecting it from the sun, heat or any kind of chemicals.

Here are five tips that you can follow for better looking, healthy and longer hair.

1.       Have some supplements

Taking some reliable supplements can really help you such as Biotin which is also beneficial for your skin. It is a type of Vitamin B. But while taking this, you should consult your dermatologist for suitable dose because some women have reported that they grew hair around the beard areas and did not help growing any on their scalp.

2.       Protect hair from heat

Use of blow drying can seriously damage your hair and cause breakage. Even the healthiest of hair don’t last long if heated for long periods of time. You should avoid using blow dryers or any kind of heat to dry up hair because you can lose the natural hair oils which are essential for their protection and nourishment. The best way to dry is to let them dry at room temperature by natural air in the atmosphere. You can also dry them by patting a dry towel all over your head gently.

3.       Don’t wash too much

Washing your hair too often can strip off the natural hair oils that keep them healthy. Without the natural hair oils, your hair will be prone to breakage and fuzziness. You should wash your hair no more than 3, 4 times a week with a shampoo. The best way to wash your hair is to oil your hair for at least an hour before washing it with a mild shampoo which suits your hair.

4.       Wash them with cold water

As we mentioned earlier to protect your hair from heat to protect the natural oils, you should avoid using hot water for rinsing your hair. Apply cold or room temperature water when washing your hair.

5.       Avoid Dust and Dirt

One of the best things you can do to keep your hair healthy is to avoid dust and dirt. Protect it from dust so you don’t have to wash it every day for that crispy look. Dirt in the hair can cause itching which can cause breakage upon scratching your head and also you have to wash it which will eventually strip away all your natural hair oils.

These are some tips you can follow for healthy hair. Maintaining healthy hair is one of the hardest jobs to do and it’s certainly not a one-time thing to do, it’s a life-long process.  Hair plays a really important in the physical appearance of a person, if you don’t think so, try shaving your head once and you will see the difference it makes. Hair once lost can never come back again naturally, so it is better to take certain precautions before-hand.
