1. Massage your scalp

Regularly massaging your hair is an amazing healthy hair tip we swear by. Apart from improving blood circulation in the area and helping you relax, regular massaging your scalp is a sure-shot way to make the roots strong and keep your strands hydrated. We recommend that you Massage your scalp with coconut oil once or twice a week to see visible improvement in your hair growth cycle and make your hair appear longer, stronger and healthier. Since hair oils act as natural conditioners, they help show results pretty quickly and also make your hair appear more shiny and manageable. 

2. Avoid brushing very often

If you still believe that you need to brush your hair with the age old 100 strokes a day to achieve shiny and healthy hair, then you couldn't be more wrong. If truth be told, then you are doing nothing but causing a lot more damage to your strands, hampering their growth, making them extremely brittle and prone to split-ends. We suggest you stop believing these myths and avoid brushing your hair so often to have gorgeous and long hair. 

3. Visit your stylist regularly

One of the best healthy hair tips we have ever received is to cut our hair every six to eight weeks to ensure that they grow longer and healthier. This is also a great way to make sure that your hair looks healthy and you can get rid of the dry, damaged areas and split ends before they end up causing more damage. Additionally, this technique also reduces breakage. If you’re someone who is very skeptical about getting a haircut, then ask your stylist to just trim about half an inch from the end to keep them healthy and fresh. 

4. Don’t wash your hair too often

When you are choosing a shampoo for your hair, we highly recommend that you study the ingredients and your hair type because choosing one as this healthy hair tip proves to be really helpful in the long run. Always pick a shampoo that’s extremely gentle and does not contain sulphates or parabens.

Additionally, it is also recommended that you avoid washing your strands every day as this can lead to some major damage and dry out your scalp. With time, if you continue washing your hair almost every day, it will start to become dry and lose their shine and lustre. And this is one of the leading causes of  hair loss.

5. Always condition your strands

Hair conditioning is a very important tip for healthy hair. You should condition your hair without fail each time you wash your hair. Remember that just like you pick a mild shampoo, pick a mild yet effective conditoner. Using conditioner on your strands will definitely make it look more shiny and smooth. Additionally, you will also not spend hours after your hair is dry trying to get rid of those annoying knots preventing hair breakage. A conditioner also helps manage frizzy hair while adding shine and volume to it.

6. Avoid colouring your hair

This especially true if you use an ammonia-based hair colour, as it is a bleaching agent and will definitely cause a lot of scalp and cause hair damage. Hair colours will take away the moisture of your hair leaving them dry. Instead of chemical-based hair colours, try natural ones that are not harsh on your hair and scalp.

7. Drink enough water

One of the best healthy hair tips we have ever received is to drink enough water no matter what. While drinking enough water is vital to maintain overall health, it is also related to your skin and hair. Drinking water provides the manure for your strands making them grow healthy and fast. Water makes up almost 25% of the weight of a single strand of hair, so it’s recommended to drink eight glasses a day to keep the hair strong, healthy, and hydrated.

8. Invest a silk pillow cover

Here’s a healthy hair tip you should take seriously and switch to a silk pillowcase ASAP. Cotton pillowcases are really rough on your hair, causing a lot of friction and breakage. The silky smooth texture of a silk pillow case will not tug and pull at your strands ensuring that there is a lot less frizz and tangles the next day. 

9. Avoid heat as far as possible

This is probably one of the most common yet surprisingly effective healthy hair tips. Intense heat styling is one of the number one causes of damaged, dry hair. Try to minimize the amount of heat you use in your hair routine to keep your hair looking and feeling it best. 

10. Use a cotton t-shirt to dry your hair

Another amazingly useful healthy hair tip is to not vigourously rub your hair with a towel to dry them, instead wrap your hair in an old t-shirt. The rough texture of the towel can irriate the scalp and cause a lot of frizziness. A cotton T-shirt is much gentler and is proven to allow the hair to dry more tame and smooth.

Indulge in a hair mask

In order to keep your hair healthy, strong and gorgeous, ensure that you indulge in a weekly hair nourishing treatments and DIY hair masks. These hair pampering sessions are going to change  the look and feel your mane. Hair masks bring deep hydration to your hair, which helps to keep dryness and brittle ends at bay and bring a radiance factor back into your hair.
