The Secrets Behind Healthy Hair

Hair is probably the first thing people notice in us. And their health is thus, super important to maintain. Not only because good hair leaves a good impression on people, but also because healthy hair gives your confidence, strength, and pride. So what are some ways that can help you get healthy and beautiful hair? The following tips might help! 

• Diet rich in protein - Hair is primarily made up of protein, so be sure to eat a good amount of protein daily. Good sources include lean meat, fish, low-fat dairy products, eggs etc. 
• Hair Products - Don’t use the wrong shampoo as it can cause significant hair damage. Look for products that are right for your hair type — oily, normal, or dry — and target specific problems you have, such as dandruff or balding. Also, try to avoid shampoos with harsh ingredients, such as ammonium lauryl sulfate or sodium lauryl sulfate. 
• After-shampoo hair care - Treat hair gently when it’s damp— because damp hair is more vulnerable to breakage. Don’t rub wet hair excessively with a towel. Use a wide-tooth comb to detangle, but don’t comb too much or brush wet hair.
• Get regular hair cuts - In a quest to get long hair, we often leave our hair untrimmed for months. That will do more damage than you can imagine, honestly. To ensure you get long hair, by also not compromising the hair quality, always get your hair trimmed at least once every 2-3 months. Don’t worry, you don’t have to get the very shortcut, just enough to get rid of split ends and rough edges. 
• Oil regularly - ever since childhood, our moms have massaged our hair and scalp with generous amounts of oil. Many of us hated oils when we were little, they made us all sticky and shiny. But growing up, we realize just how important oiling is for our hair. When you massage your hair and scalp with oils, it increases blood flow, which further provides luster, strength, and elasticity to your hair. Shop at www.vannessentials.com and choose from a variety of Cold-pressed Oils & Essentials Oils  such as Lemongrass oil, Lavender Oil, Virgin Onion Seed Oil and Virgin Coconut Oil, which are great for your hair. 
• Don’t wash too often - Pop culture, magazines, and tons of Youtube videos have made us a fool by selling us the lie of washing our hair every day. No, you don’t have to do that! Washing your hair every day will lead to more damage, breakage, and scalp problems such as itching, dryness, flakes, dandruff, etc. Washing your hair twice/thrice a week is enough. Or if your job requires you to wash them more frequently, make sure you use a mild shampoo, a nourishing conditioner, and an intensely moisturizing hair oil. 
• Select the right comb - one mistake we often do is using the wrong comb on our hair. Using wrong combs will lead to hair fall, thinning, breakage, and even scalp pain. A wide-toothed comb is advised generally. But since we all have different hair types, we all can’t use the same comb on our hair. So, next time you buy a comb, make sure you do it after doing proper research. 
• See a doctor - See a doctor for our hair? It surely sounds like a stupid idea. But it’s not. Ignoring hair troubles can cause serious problems in the future. So don’t ignore your troubles, go get your hair and scalp checked as soon as possible. 

Hair accounts for a significant part of our appearance. Therefore, ignoring its condition is something you should never do. Just like you pamper your skin and body, hair needs your undivided attention too. Don’t spend too much, because not everyone can afford expensive hair products. But always invest in ‘worthy’ products. That will level up your hair game, without burning a hole in your pocket. 

Happy Health!
