10 Ways to Get Healthier Hair

How to Get Healthier Hair

10 Ways to Get Healthier Hair

1. Cut down on bleach or dying your hair.

One surefire way to get healthier hair fast is to stop dying it. Bleach and hair dye strip your hair. Those intense chemicals are damaging. One way to cut down on how often you dye your hair is by going ombre. Ombre hair will allow you to embrace your roots and skip a few of those hair dye sessions.

2. Put down the heat tools.

We all already know this hair tip, but it is a hard one to follow! Find heatless styling tutorials and use them to style your hair rather than using heat tools. Get started with my heatless curls tutorial!

10 Ways to Get Healthier Hair

3. Deep condition your hair once weekly.

Nothing will help you get healthier hair faster than a good deep conditioning treatment. If your hair is dry and damaged, try to maintain a deep conditioning routine to help improve the look and feel of your hair.  I have found keeping up this  “TLC retreat” treatment weekly has helped my hair become more manageable, less knotted and healthier.

4. Lose the harsh shampoo.

Very sudsy shampoos dry out your hair and can damage it if you have fragile or compromised hair. Instead, try a gentle sulfate-free shampoo. Gentle shampoos will clean your strands without the damaging drying effect of sudsy shampoos.

5.  Try a slicked-back bun or ponytail.

I often wear my hair in a low-slicked-back bun, and I cannot even begin to tell you just how much it has helped to improve the condition of my hair. Aside from it being a great way to skip heat styling for a few days, I also find it a great way to wear a conditioning treatment. Yes, you read that right. – I often will put a conditioning or oil treatment in my hair before pulling my hair into a bun for the day, and rinse it out at the end of the day.

6. Air dry your hair.

Whenever you can, let your hair air dry or allow it to dry almost entirely (around 80%) and then use your blow dryer on warm heat rather than hot.

7. Say goodbye to split ends

If you have split ends the best way to get rid of them is to chop them off. If you’re trying to grow out your hair, it may sound counterproductive to get your hair trimmed but actually, it’ll help prevent your hair from becoming fragile and damaged so that it can actually grow longer rather than breaking off. I trim my own hair but if you’re nervous to do that yourself then just schedule an appointment with your hairdresser. 

8. Use a hot oil treatment after dying your hair

When you’re dying your hair, especially lightening it, you’re putting it through a damaging process and afterwards, you should give it a little extra care. Typically when you go into the salon your hair will be dyed, dried and styled so when it comes around to the day when you need to wash it, try using a hot oil treatment on it.  

Oiling your hair is basically the same as deep conditioning your hair but it’s a bit more intensive; you want to allow the oil to sit in your hair for as long as possible to really condition and strengthen your hair, I like to leave it in for about an hour, or sometimes even overnight. My personal favourite treatment is this coconut oil + peppermint mixture that promotes growth & health. *You may need to wash your hair twice with shampoo to get all the oil out afterwards**

9. Use a leave-in treatment.

A leave-in hair treatment is something apply to your hair once you’re out of the shower to reduce tangles and make your hair more manageable. I use a leave-in treatment each and every time I wash my hair because my hair tangles quite easily.

10. Invest in a good serum.

If you feel your hair looks a bit dull or feels a bit dry after washing, drying, and styling your hair then you’ll want to add a hair serum to your hair care routine. A hair serum is something I use after styling my hair, and before bed when I am braiding my hair or using a heatless hair styling method.

    Amen to this! Every time someone asks me how my hair is so long & healthy I tell them not to dye it or use heat styling tools daily. I only blow-dry or curl/straighten my hair once or twice a week MAX- sometimes I go a month without it. you have to learn how to enjoy your natural hair to really help it be strong and healthy 🙂

    Blow drying and flat ironing riin good hair. It's so hard not to tho othere wise my hair is a crazy mess! The donut tip is great for someone like me with not thick hair. It actually makes it look ok in a bun. I have always wanted to try macadamia products.

    Great tips Bree! I've been using raw biological coconut oil in my hair once a week, as a mask. And oh my, my hair feels amazing. I know I already have "dream hair", well kinda, hear it all the time hehe… but this weekly treatment makes it even look better. You should try it Bree (hmm, actually recall that you already did some time ago). Anyway, just put it at night and wash it out the next morning (with natural shampoo non-toxic shampoo of course). You'll love it!

    Besos,
    Lucia

    I have always agrees not using heat is best for your hair. It is so hard when you don't love your natural hair tho. I love the bun idea and will try this

    These are great tips. I've actually switched to a few of them recently, and especially agree with using a cleansing conditioner. My hair does't get greasy, so I've found I don't need a good clean, so just cleansing is perfect for it. Trying to cut down on heat too, which is far harder!!!

What a wonderful month. Full of love and snuggles and growth. 

🥂We celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary 
🩵 We spent our days with our little Liam

My heart is absolutely bursting right now. I can’t believe our little Liam is here. He is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. He loves his sleep, is unbelievably strong, and is a total cuddle bug. Our hearts are so full 🤍🤍🤍

We had our scheduled c-section for the morning of May 3 and we knew going into it that there were two surgical routes that would be considered because of my prior spinal surgery. The first, the more routine c-section with either an epidural or spinal anaesthesia. The second, being fully put under with general anesthesia. I’ll be honest, I really thought we would be going with the first option(s) and that GA wouldn’t really be on the table. I didn’t want it on the table, but after speaking to the anesthesiologist, it became clear that it was the safest option. It was an emotional decision, I was really scared to be honest. It was not made lightly. I was walked into the OR at about 10:00am and by 10:13am, Liam was earthside and screaming. Jeremy was there to cut the cord and give him his first cuddles. It took me a bit longer to get to see our Liam because of this surgical route, and I feel so lucky knowing Jeremy was there to be with him in his first moments. He already is such a great dad 🤍

The last 48 hours have been a wonderful whirlwind. We are all doing well. We feel incredibly blessed to have our sweet Liam here💙

Thank you everyone for your kind messages. We feel the love all around 💙✨
