When it comes to hair care, there are a few basic
rules that everyone should consider adopting for the long term
health of their strands.
Many celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie and Taylor
Swift are famous for their gorgeous manes. Celebrities achieve
great hair from following good general hair care tips including
taking high
quality hair vitamins and supplements.
These tips include the following:
- Always use a treated elastic hair band like a
Blax,
Bungee
or similar, when you put your hair into a braid or
ponytail. This will prevent hair breakage and loss which results from using a plain
rubber band. Never use a rubber band.
Rubber bands will rip, tear and damage hair.
- Never sleep in a tight braid or ponytail. This practice
may cause ongoing hair
breakage and/or loss over time.
- Always carefully remove tangles from your hair with a
pick or brush before
shampooing. This will prevent unnecessary knots and tangles making hair
much easier to dry,
style and braid.
- If you plan on trying out a brand new hairstyle for a special event (e.g. wedding or
prom) always plan to practice several times before the big event arrives.
This will guarantee great results.
- Never brush wet hair. This guarantees breakage because hair is
most fragile when wet. Although some hair experts don't
agree with this tip, the majority do.
- Use a good
wide tooth comb, pick or
your fingers to untangle your hair as you dry it. Hair should be
100% dry
before brushing.

- Braid your hair while it's still damp and allow hair to aid dry while braided.
This will add beautiful waves to the hair when you undo the braids.
- Keep hair easy and simple. Hairstyles look great when
they are natural with a few waves or curls.
- Adjust hair care products according to the change in seasons.
Utilize rinse-out, leave-in and deep conditioning options to
keep hair moisturized, paying special attention to the ends to
prevent split ends.
- Give your hair a break whenever possible from excessive
cleansing, heat styling and chemical processing.
- Invest in the best hair care products and tools you can
afford, designed for your type (fine/thin, medium, thick, very
thick) texture (straight, wavy, curly, kinky) length (very
short, short, medium length, long, very long) and current
condition (normal, dry, very dry, damaged) and scalp condition
(normal, dry, dandruff).
- Avoid brushing hair other than to
detangle. Never use
brushes with knobs on the ends which may rip and tear delicate
strands. 100% boar bristle brushes are usually best.
- Allow hair to air dry whenever possible.
- Whenever possible finish your cleansing cycle with cool/cold
water rinse.
