Keep your hair happy, beautiful and healthy with these 5 tips

Curly, straight hair, red, black, white, blond or brown, hair comes in all shapes and sizes and we do a lot with it. Shortening, washing, curling, painting, in knots and tails, you name it and that's nice, but often not as healthy for that forest on your head. Therefore, here are 5 good tips to keep your locks beautiful and healthy - and happy!

Tip 1 - Use a leave-in conditioner

Leave-in conditioner is a conditioner that you do not rinse out, but leave in your hair. It is highly recommended for people with dry, damaged or curly hair, but also if you often blow dry, style or color your hair. Leave-in conditioner cares for and protects your hair and ensures that your hair is less likely to break. How you use it? Apply a small amount to the palm of your hand and distribute throughout your hair, especially on the lengths and ends. Shea Moisture 100% pack €37 via Bol.com

Tip 2 - Use a humidifier

In the winter we turn on the central heating and that makes the air in the house drier. That is not only incredibly bad for your skin, but it can also make your hair very dry. A humidifier replenishes the humidity in your home, making your hair less likely to become dry, dull and brittle. And that's not all! Moist air is also better for your throat, eyes and nose. A humidifier is therefore actually a real must-have for your home.

Tip 3 - Style your hair with a Steampod

A Steampod is a steam straightener (from L'oreal). This handy device uses a new technology that works differently than traditional hair straighteners. Steam is blown out during styling, which keeps your hair moist. This keeps your hair protected deep into the hair fibers. It protects up to 78% more than traditional hair straighteners. The plates are also ceramic, so your hair is even better protected. If you want well-groomed and healthy smooth hair, you can buy a Steampod .

Tip 4 - Use a hair oil or mask

An oil or hair mask is a real treat for your hair. It gives your hair an extra boost of moisturizing and nourishing ingredients that make your hair softer, shinier and healthier. Use an oil or hair mask 1 to 2 times a week, in combination with your normal hair care. Apply it to towel-dried or dry hair, let it soak in and then wash it out with shampoo.

Tip 5 - Sleep with a satin pillowcase

Satin pillowcases are not only nice for your skin, but also for your hair. A normal cotton pillowcase can cause frizz and static hair. Therefore, sleep with a satin pillowcase, so that your hair remains smooth and static-free.

If you apply all these tips, you will soon reap the benefits. Be kind to your hair and you will see how beautiful and happy it will be!
