Having a beautiful hair is very important especially for girls. As our crowning glory, our hair could either make or break our entire outfit. Maintaining a healthy and beautiful hair though could be bothersome for most people as you need to spend a lot of time and money on salons. Read on the lists of easy and effective way of having a great hair without bankrupting your entire savings account.
Lighten up on the shampoo. It is not advisable that you apply shampoo everyday as this could damage your hair. For normal or dry hair, you can use shampoo three times a week, while those that have oily or fine hair are fine to use shampoo daily. Do not use more shampoo than you need, you only need to shampoo the hair at the scalp, particularly at the nape. The suggested amount of shampoo to be applied for normal hair is quarter-sized. After washing your hair, make sure that you rinse thoroughly.
Choose hair product as per hair type. There are a lot of different hair products in the market, and to maximize its effectiveness, it is very important that you choose the hair product that is suitable for your hair type. The texture and thickness of your hair should be primarily considered when choosing a hair product. Read the labels of the hair products first to know which hair type they are best suited for. Purchasing a wrong hair product not suitable for your hair type would not only give you the result that you desire, but could possibly damage your hair as well.
Always keep your hair color in check. Make sure that the color that you select when you dye your hair would not only work well with your complexion but could also be easily maintained. Though red could be eye-catching, this is the color that would require a lot of maintenance. Make sure that you visit your salon to retouch your hair color to keep that vibrant look. Also use shampoo and conditioner that would keep the color of your hair last long. Also avoid washing your hair too much since frequent shampoo could make the hair color fade faster.
Eat clean for clean hair. One of the common problems that people experience with growing older is hair loss. The good news is we can avoid hair loss and keep our thick, lustrous and healthy hair by the type of food that we have on our diet. These foods are known to give you the benefit of having a healthy hair: Red meat, kale, spinach, broccoli, eggs and sweet potatoes.
Condition, condition, condition your hair. Our hair can get damaged from the use of heat styling tools, chemicals, dyes, straighteners, and exposure to the sun. If you want to maintain or restore your hair’s moisture and body, you would need a good conditioning treatment. Choose a good conditioning treatment that is right for your hair type. Check the instruction on the product that you use on how long you should leave the conditioner on before washing it. You can also do a DIY conditioner as there are a lot of items in your kitchen that can be used as hair conditioner. Olive oil for hair is known to be an effective hair conditioner.
Trim-tastic. Changing your hair style could give a different perspective on your face. Make sure that you talk to your hairdresser first on what type of hair style that is suited for the shape of your face. If you have long hair, it is important that you visit the salon every month or two for a trim to remove split ends and damaged hair.
Use old cotton t-shirt to dry your hair. Never dry your hair with towels as this could damage and break your hair, instead use an old cotton t-shirt to dry your hair as they are soft, ultra-absorbent and perfect for drying freshly washed hair.
These easy steps are your perfect way to a bouncing, healthy and vibrant crowning glory.

Thank you for the great tips. I had never heard of using an old t-shirt to dry your hair as towels can damage and break your hair. I will have to find an old t-shirt to start using as well as go get my hair trimmed and colored.
