Top Tips for Healthy Hair

Summer is just around the corner and it is time to start thinking about beach bodies and holiday fun. Whilst we all love to have our hair looking hot and fresh for the sunny season many of us neglect the health of our hair when we are dipping in and out of a swimming pool or jumping over the waves in the sea. Love Your Hair has recently documented top tips for maintaining good hair health - To make things easy we thought we would share the best ones with you:

1. A well-balanced diet is the best way to keep your hair healthy and strong. Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables, nuts, brown rice, beans and pulses,  and you’ll have tresses in top condition in no time.

2. If you lead a busy life and don’t have time to cook, supplement your diet with the hair-building vitamins B6, B12, evening primrose oil, folic acid and a good multivitamin.

3. The sun, even during winter, has drying effects on your hair and can fade colour. Use products that contain sunscreens and cover up in direct sunlight during the summer.

4. Stress and negative emotions can play a part in hair loss, flaky scalp conditions and excess sebum (oil) production. Find time to relax and de-stress for healthy locks.

5. Reduce the impact of heat styling with a good protector spray or balm. Choose a non-greasy product that won’t weigh your hair down.

6. Eliminate smoking, caffeine and fizzy drinks from your life – it will make your hair grow stronger and longer.

7. Have regular trims. Any stylist will recommend you visit the salon every six to eight weeks to zap split ends and encourage the hair to feel healthier.
