About This Article
If you want to have healthy hair, make sure to wash it 3 to 4 times a week, since washing it more often can dry it out. Additionally, opt to use products that are less harsh on your hair, such as a sulfate-free shampoo and a conditioner made with aloe, coconut oil, shea butter, and other pure substances. After you wash your hair, dry it gently by patting it with a towel, rather than wringing it out, to prevent further damage. You should also use a comb, rather than a brush, on wet hair, since a brush can cause breakage. To help damaged hair, consider making a homemade treatment from egg yolk and olive oil, vinegar, or plain yogurt. For more tips from our Cosmetology co-author, including how to make lifestyle changes that promote healthy hair, keep reading!
