Hair care is an important part of looking good and feeling good
both inside and out. There are an endless number of hair care products that promise to shape up
curl
straighten
moisturize and rejuvenate
but what is the best way to maintain healthy hair? Here are 10 tips to get you started.

If you notice split ends
have them trimmed. This will result in healthier hair and a better overall appearance. A trim is relatively inexpensive and should only take a matter of minutes at the local salon.

Use a low to medium heat on your hair dryer. Extreme heat can dry out the hair and cause the frizzies.

Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun
which is not only bad for your skin
but can dry out your hair as well.

Many people suffer from dandruff. If you are one of the many
avoid scratching or rubbing the head as this will promote flaking. Instead
use a shampoo and/or conditioner that is especially designed to treat dandruff and eliminate flaking.

If you have thin hair
add a volumizing shampoo for added body. If you have thick hair
using a healthy shine shampoo will bring out the additional beauty.

Avoid harsh hair care products
which can dry out or damage the hair. In some cases
individuals have even experienced hair loss in using certain at-home perm and/or coloring treatment products. If you want to have this type of treatment done
have it done at the salon.

In choosing a salon
make sure that you opt for one that has been in business for awhile and has a clean
professional workspace.

Ask friends for referrals. If they have used a certain hair care product
which coincides with one that you are searching for
inquire about their experience. The same is true with salons
which are often best recommended by friends and family.

When brushing your hair
use soft strokes rather than those swiped in a hurry. A part of quality hair care is
just as the name implies
caring for your hair.

When using styling products
make sure that they do not overheat prior to using them on your hair. Extreme heat can and will damage the hair
not to mention the discomfort of a burn resulting from an overheated styling product.
