How to Enhance a Hairdo? The Best Remedies for Strong, Healthy Hair

Each of us dreams of strong, healthy, thick hair. Each of us wonders how to enhance hair and what to use. What is the most effective? Are there any home remedies for stronger hair? Let us tell you how to give power to your hairdo 🙂

Before you start strengthening your hair, try to diagnose the possible cause of its poor state. How do we know our hair has lost its vitality? If you suddenly spot more hairs on the brush, it doesn’t necessarily mean your hair is in a poorer condition. It might be the seasonal hair loss which passes quickly. Hormone changes are inevitable, leading to a higher number of falling-out strands (a healthy person loses around fifty hairs a day), which shouldn’t be worrying or surprising. However, when you notice you are losing more and more hair and there is something bad happening – it is high time you started an intensive hair care routine to reinforce weak, thinning hair.

Why does hair get weaker?

Apart from the seasonal hair loss, the most common causes of poor hair condition include:

• strong permanent stress
• pharmaceuticals (especially, antibiotics)
• dry air (heaters), minus temps, sunlight
• smoking cigarettes
• wrong hair care routine
• regular blow-drying with a hot airflow
• regular use of flat irons
• mechanical damage
• hair bleaching and coloring
• diseases (mostly hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism)

How to naturally strengthen hair and its bulbs? The best remedies

1. Natural hair oils & Hair oil treatment

Hair oiling is the best way for strengthening and improving hair throughout its length as well as the hair bulbs and inner structures. While applying a hair oil, we cover the lengths and (mostly) the scalp. As a result, the molecules of the oil (vitamins, phytosterols, good fatty acids) penetrate the bulbs to repair and stimulate them to work. Consequently, hair is stronger and grows healthier. A regular at-home hair oil treatment doesn’t just revitalize the hair. It boosts hair growth and makes the hair look so much better, too.

2. Washing hair with lukewarm water

If you’ve been using hot water in the hair wash routine so far, you must know that doing so hugely weakens your hair bulbs. To avoid hair damage, wash hair with lukewarm water. Use cold water for the final rinse to close hair scales and intensify shine.

3. A mild shampoo

The lukewarm water is half-way to success. A good shampoo is as essential. In your hair care, go for shampoos with the least amount of sulfates and parabens to avoid disturbing the natural hydro-lipid barrier on the scalp. A shampoo that is full of silicones and petroleum derivatives can give you a scalp irritation.

4. Scalp massage

In the orient culture, it is one of the key beauty treatments. What is more, it doesn’t cost you a penny. In India, nearly every hair salon offers a scalp massage – it gives best results when it’s combined with a hair oil treatment. Thanks to the massage, the skin is clean, the blood flow is faster thus cells receive a necessary dose of oxygen and stimulate hair bulbs by making them stronger. Moreover, a natural hair oil provides the skin, hair and bulbs with precious substances which are absorbed fast thanks to the massage.

5. Invest in a good hairbrush

A good brush is a saver for the hair: it means a painless and trouble-free brushing routine, stimulating the blood flow in the scalp, gently massaging the skin and smoothing the hair. Moreover, it prevents static thanks to anti-static properties. If you detangle your hair immediately after washing, use a wooden wide-tooth comb to avoid tangles and pulling. On a daily basis, the iconic Tangle Teezer will do.

6. Cut down on invasive hair procedures (coloring, permanent wave, bleaching)

When your hair is having a hard time, you mustn’t torture it additionally with invasive procedures including hair coloring, perm, bleaching. If you really have to, go for natural and safe hair dyes e.g. herbal henna which enhances the color, gently nourishing the hair at the same time.
