9 Bath Tricks To Keep Hair Healthy

When it comes to healthy hair, it is important to think that care begins at the time of bath, so that other treatments have better results.

Since washing our hair is a simple procedure, we often make this action mechanical and pay no attention to whether we are doing it in a way that is detrimental to our locks.

With proper care, besides a more beautiful appearance, your hair will be healthier.


Trichologist Alexandra Lopes of Les Peaux Clinic gives the tips she considers most important for maintaining the health and beauty of her hair longer:

1. It is not necessary to shampoo twice because "excessive friction on the hair can be harmful, removing the natural protection of hair," says the trichologist.

2. It is not advisable to replace conditioner with mask. Instead of moisturizing the hair, in the long run the so-called rebound effect can happen: the hair gets stiffer and begins to break. This is because masks have a higher hydration charge. And moisturizing too much is not good! Ideally use the mask once a week? Advises the professional.

3. For Alexandra, 3-minute ampoules are a good option for moisturizing hair for those who need results in just a few moments.

4. It is recommended to wash your hair with warm to cold water, especially for those with the most greasy hair, advises the trichologist.


5. Comb the strands that are still dry so that the hair becomes softer and prevents breakage. By doing this process with wet hair you can break it because the hair is swollen and very sensitive at this time.

6. Scalp washing requires the most attention, as this is where most impurities accumulate, not the length of the hair.

7. The conditioner should not be used at the root of the hair as the scalp already produces natural oil. Applying conditioner in this region can cause fungal proliferation and scalp scaling.

8. Be careful not to take too long in the bath, too much water removes the essential oils from the hair.

9. Thoroughly rinse the strands to remove bath products as debris buildup can make your strands heavy.

Doing these simple home care while washing your hair is already contributing to the health and beauty of your hair. This prevents your hair from being damaged and requires unwanted cuts.
