5 tips for mermaid hair

5 consigli per una chioma da sirena

Have you always dreamed of long, thick hair? Genetic predisposition is certainly very important, but that doesn't mean your hair can't drastically improve with a few small adjustments to incorporate into your daily routine. 

Here are 5 tips that will help you achieve the mermaid hair you've always wanted.


Prevent split ends 

Split ends, in addition to making hair more difficult to manage, also compromise the growth of your locks. So what can be done to counteract the formation of split ends?


  • protect your hair from heat: styling tools can pose a risk to hair. Excessive use, combined with poor protection, can cause hair burns that hinder growth. This is why various heat protectants can be found on the market that ensure effective protection of the hair even when exposed to high temperatures. Despite the usefulness of such products, it is still recommended to limit the use of straighteners and hair dryers. 

 

  • Make hair masks: pre-shampoo masks provide an extra boost of hydration for your hair. It is not necessary to buy a specific product; many masks can be made at home using ingredients available in your pantry. Here are some options for masks based on olive oil, honey, or mayonnaise.



  • keep them hydrated with conditioner and masks: hydration continues even in the shower. After shampooing, it becomes essential to detangle, rehydrate the hair, and seal the ends. Conditioners and masks specific to your hair type are a must.



  • "Cut the dry and frizzy part: before starting any new routine for your hair, it's good to begin with a clean cut of the split ends and the dry and frizzy part that makes them unmanageable." 

Natural drying

As mentioned in the previous paragraph, limiting the use of heat sources on hair as much as possible is really important to prevent hair loss or breakage. Therefore, opt for air drying as much as possible, perhaps resorting to simple and quick braids or buns that achieve a flawless wavy result. 

Combing hair the right way

A secret for healthy and long hair that no one ever mentions is related to how you comb your hair. You should start detangling your locks from the ends, then gradually move up. This is the technique that will help you prevent breakage and the formation of split ends.

Choosing the right hairstyle for the night 

Sleeping with loose hair is not a good idea. During the night, our movements can unknowingly lead to hair being pulled. In addition to this, the friction of the hair against the pillow can also cause the formation of unpleasant frizz and generally more damaged hair. Choose, once again, soft updos that allow you to wake up in the morning with a nice natural wave.



Lifestyle

Last but not least, we find a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Introducing water, minerals, and other nutrients into our body is indeed essential not only for well-being but also for the beauty of the face, body, and hair. Starting from this awareness is always fundamental.
