Important ways to keep hair healthy and strong

To preserve the beauty, strength and softness of your hair, we recommend that you follow these tips: [1]

  • Scalp massage: Massage your scalp daily, as this stimulates blood circulation and increases the nourishment that reaches the hair. [1]
  • Following a healthy diet: It contains all the essential nutrients for hair health and strength, and includes all kinds of fish, proteins, vegetables, especially green leafy ones, whole grains, nuts, fruits, etc., all of which work to strengthen the hair fiber and give it a healthy look, and it is imperative to Note that following severe diets leads to a lack of vitamins and minerals in the body that are necessary for the health and growth of hair, such as iron, zinc, proteins and others, which leads to its loss and weakness. [2]
  • Correctly combing hair: this point includes the necessity to choose the appropriate brush, where we recommend the wide-toothed comb, combing the hair gently, because pulling the hair will expose it to brittleness and fall, and do not comb it more than twice a day because frequent combing increases its loss and breaks it and stimulates the secretion of oils that distort its appearance And permanently avoid combing your hair while it is wet because its pores are open, so it will be weak and prone to falling out in this case. [1]
  • Choosing the right shampoo and conditioner: Make sure to choose the right type of shampoo and conditioner, preferably a gentle type. [1]

  • Choosing the right brush for your hair: It is preferable to choose a comb with wide teeth, taking care to clean the brush, sterilize it, and change it from time to time. [1]
  • Protecting hair from the sun's rays: The sun’s rays cause great damage to your hair as it causes dryness and other damage, so we recommend that you protect your hair by wearing a cap, and not going out in the sun, and other things that you think are appropriate for you. [1]
  • Get rid of dandruff: The presence of dandruff means unhealthy hair, so you should treat this dandruff with the help of a doctor, and do not try to remove it with a comb completely. [1]
  • Giving the hair a recovery period: We mean by it leave your hair for a period of at least three months without using blow-dry, and chemicals such as dyes, straighteners, creams, etc., and intensify the use of oil baths instead. [1]
  • Hair cutting: You should cut the ends of your hair once every two months, as this helps it grow in a healthy way. [1]
