5 tips for mermaid hair

Have you always dreamed of long, thick hair? Genetic predisposition is certainly very important, but this does not mean that your hair cannot drastically improve thanks to a few small tricks to put into practice in your daily life.

So here are 5 tips that will allow you to achieve the mermaid hair you've always wanted.

Prevent split ends

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

• protect your hair from heat: styling tools can pose a risk to your hair. Excessive use, accompanied by poor protection, can cause hair burns which paralyze its growth. This is why you can find various thermo-protectors on the market that guarantee effective protection of the hair even when subjected to high temperatures. Despite the usefulness of products of this type, limiting the use of straighteners and hairdryers is still recommended.

• Use compresses: pre-shampoo compresses represent an extra boost of hydration for your hair. It is not necessarily necessary to purchase a specific product, many compresses can be made at home directly with the ingredients available in your pantry. So you can make compresses 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 be able to detangle, hydrate the hair again and seal the ends. Conditioner and masks specific to your hair type cannot be missing.

• cut the dry and brittle part: before starting any new routine for your hair, it is a good idea to start with a clean cut of the split ends and the dry and brittle part that makes it untamable.

Natural drying

As mentioned in the previous paragraph, limiting the use of heat sources on your hair as much as possible is really important to prevent hair loss or breakage. Therefore opt for drying as naturally as possible, perhaps using braids or chignons that are simple and quick to create and with an impeccable wavy result.

Comb your hair the right way

A secret to healthy, long hair that no one ever tells you is linked to the way you comb your hair. You should start by untangling the hair from the tips, and then gradually work your way up. This is the technique that will allow you to prevent breakage and the formation of split ends.

Choose the right hairstyle for the night

Sleeping with your hair down is not a good idea. In fact, during the night, our movements can unconsciously lead to hair pulling. In addition to this, rubbing your hair on the pillow can also cause the formation of unpleasant clouds of frizz and generally more brittle hair. Choose, once again, soft crops that allow you to wake up in the morning with a beautiful natural hair style.

Lifestyle

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