Keeping Your Hair Hydrated

by Melissa T. DESIGNER OF BEAUTIFUL HAIR

Weather, diet and lifestyle all have an impact on your hair. One common issue experienced by both men and women concerns hydration. Keeping hair hydrated can be difficult, but a few changes in care and habits can transform even the driest of tresses. Here are a few hair hydration tips from your top Hairdresser Manchester!

Increase Your Intake of Water

Drink the recommended amount of water and you will see improvements in your hair as well as other parts of your body and wellbeing. Many of us forget to drink enough throughout the day. Work hard to increase your water intake, carry a reusable water bottle around with you at all times and monitor the amount you are drinking. There are some great apps that will help you to keep a track on your daily progress.

Trim the Ends

Keep on top of your hair by trimming away dry ends regularly. Trimming the hair helps to prevent split ends and therefore reduces damage to the hair shaft. Visit your hairdresser in Manchester and request micro trims between longer hair appointments to help maintain hydrated hair and reduce the risk of damage from dry hair.

Find the Right Conditioner for Your Hair

Ask your Hair stylistManchester for advice on choosing the right conditioner for your hair type. Not all conditioners are equal. Some will weigh down your hair while others may not be strong enough to make much of a difference. On top of regular conditioning with your shampoo, hairdressers in Manchester recommend deep conditioning. Leave a conditioning mask or your usual conditioner on your hair for longer, covering your hair with a cap to avoid transfer as you continue your daily routine at home.

Serums and Protective Treatments

Some hair types will benefit from serums. Ask your Hair salon Manchester City Centre for suggestions and recommendations. Additionally, all hair types should be protected during styling and heat treatments by heat protection products. There are many to choose from and some can be costly, avoid wasting your money by consulting with your hairdresser in Manchester before you purchase.

Consider Your Diet

Make a few changes in your diet by introducing more hair friendly foods such as leafy greens, nuts, oily fish and whole grains. Ask for assistance from your doctor or nutritionist if you have difficulties with these foods in your diet; a fish oil supplement might be suggested if suitable for you.
