1. Watch the Washing<\/a>
\n2. Use a Hat<\/a>
\n3. Avoid Getting Your Hair Wet in a Pool or at the Beach<\/a>
\n4. Eat Well<\/a>
\n5. Create Your Own Treatment<\/a>
\n6. Cut Off Split Ends<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Why<\/p>\n

1. Watch the Washing<\/h2>\n

Washing your hair feels wonderful and leaves it looking glowing and healthy, but washing your hair too often can actually cause damage.<\/p>\n

Every time you wash your hair you remove some sebum\u2014the oil found in your scalp that keeps your hair healthy and happy. If you wash your hair often, your body tries to adjust by producing more, which is why your hair may look fatty if you suddenly wash it less often. However, if you wash your hair every day, chances are your body can\u2019t keep up. So try to only wash your hair once or twice a week.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re currently washing your hair every day, gradually trap it down\u2014washing it every second day first and then every third day.<\/p>\n

Note: That hot water also rinses off oil, so try not to scorch your scalp.<\/p>\n

Lastly, beware what shampoo you\u2019re using\u2014if your hair is too dry, try a shampoo specifically designed for dry hair. A baby shampoo may also work well for this purpose.<\/p>\n

2. Use a Hat<\/h2>\n

If you spend a lot of time in the sun, then wear a hat, or a scarves, to protect your hair.<\/p>\n

3. Avoid Getting Your Hair Wet in a Pool or at the Beach<\/h2>\n

If you love to swim, try to avoid getting your hair wet. Both salt and bleach can lead to dry and damaged hair.<\/p>\n

\"Avoid<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Eat Well<\/h2>\n

Getting your essential vitamins and minerals is important for all bodily functions. If your hair is looking a bit sad, try taking a multivitamin a couple of times a week. When it comes to hair, it\u2019s also important to eat plenty of antioxidants (found in most foods, but particularly in fruit and veg,\u00a0 herbs and tea), as well as omega-3 fatty acids. These are found in marine proteins (fish) and you can also buy them in supplements. Just be sure to get the right balance of omega 3, 6 and 9. And beware that vegan sources of omega-3s may not have the same effect on your hair as the ones coming from fish.<\/p>\n

\"Eat<\/p>\n

5. Create Your Own Treatment<\/h2>\n

Olive oil, argan oil and coconut oil, have all been touted as home remedies for dry hair. Coconut oil, specifically seems to penetrate hair fibers and help cover up damage.<\/p>\n

Simply gently warm up the oil you choose to use, massage it into your hair and scalp and leave it in for 20 minutes before rinsing. Some even wrap their hair up and sleep with the oil in it (beware it will damage your pillows if it gets out of the wrap!). Depending on the amount of oil used and if your hair is fine, or thick and coarse, you need to rinse it with either warm water, or properly shampoo it. You may even have to use shampoo twice or three times to be able to get it out. If that\u2019s the case, try using much less oil next time!<\/p>\n

Essential oils, like lavender and peppermint are rumored to prevent hair damage and hair loss. Tea tree oil may further help cure and\/or prevent an itchy scalp. So if you want to add some drops each of these oils to your oil treatment, go for it. But first do a skin patch test 24 hours beforehand to check you aren\u2019t allergic.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t do this too often\u2014maximum once a week.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. Cut Off Split Ends<\/h2>\n

Unfortunately there\u2019s no way of treating split ends but to cut them off. If your hair is starting to look tired, consult a hairdresser about how much of the ends have been damaged and need to be cut off.<\/p>\n
