Common conclusions
The first step to strengthening your hair is to know that it is weak! Though it may sound obvious, many people don't realize this until it's too late. Some of the signs of weak hair are an extremely sensitive scalp, hair fall, receding hairline, and the presence of split ends. These signs tell you that you have to start focusing on your hair right away.
Eating healthy food and drinking enough water are necessary for good hair growth. Make it a point to eat foods that are rich in iron, vitamins A and C, and protein. At the same time, make sure to drink at least three liters of water every day. These small steps will strengthen your entire body and through it, your hair as well.
The longer your hair is, the more care it needs. Many people tend to think it is easy to maintain long hair, but the truth is, there will be a lot of split ends that you may not even notice until it's too late. Also, as your hair gets lengthy, the chances for it to break is high. To avoid these problems, you should trim your hair often.
Cotton materials tend to absorb oil, so your pillow will absorb all the oil from your hair, leaving it dry when you get up in the morning. When you comb dry hair, it can quickly cause split ends, especially if you have many knots. To avoid these problems, sleep on pillows that have a silk cover. You can also consider other materials that don't absorb oil if silk pillows don't make you feel too comfortable.
Washing your hair often can lead to weak hair. This may sound contradictory to everything that you've known as common sense will tell you that clean hair will make it healthy. But what essentially happens is when you wash often, you subject it to harsh chemicals in shampoos and hot water, both of which can damage your hair even if it gives a nice smell to your hair. This brings up an important question of how often you should wash your hair. There is no simple answer, but washing your hair once a week is a good rule of thumb.
The idea of a conditioner is to make your hair softer, so you can easily comb and maintain it. Also, a good conditioner nourishes your hair and strengthens it.
Though using a conditioner is good for your hair, overusing it can lead to problems. Ideally, choose organic conditioners that you can even make at home with natural ingredients. This will help you to soften and strengthen your hair without subjecting it to harsh chemicals.
