Wouldn't it be fabulous, if every day was a good hair day? Fortunately, no matter what your hair type is, your locks can look healthy and lustrous in any situation. In this article, you'll find some general tips for healthy hair followed by specific sections on caring for different hair types.
EditMethod 1 of 6: General Hair Care Tips
1Wash your hair correctly. Note: If you can, try not to wash your hair every day. Daily baths and showers will strip your hair of its natural oils.
Massage your scalp with the shampoo and conditioner. Do this for about 40 seconds before washing it out. If you have oily hair, repeat the process once more (with the shampoo, not conditioner). When you massage the top of your head, the circulation increases and it also helps prevent dandruff. Use a sulfate and silicone free shampoo if your hair is curly or wavy.
Pour conditioner into your hand and rub from the tips of your hair to the roots. If you want softer silkier looking hair, leave the conditioner in your hair for a few minutes before you rinse it off.
Try to wash your hair on the coolest setting that is comfortable or at least try giving it a final rinse of cool water. This seals the hair cuticles (the outermost layer of the hair shaft) and locks in moisture, making it shinier. Hotter water may be used occasionally to wash hair, if you have very oily or dirty hair. Either way, try rinsing in cool temperature water for the final rinse.

2Dry your hair in a careful manner. Blow dryers can be more benefiting than air-drying if you use them correctly. When you blow dry your hair, put it on a cool setting and hold distance it away to protect it from any heat. If you hold the blow dryer too close, the water in your hair can begin to boil. This is why hair dryers are known to be bad, but if you use it correctly it is very good. If you can, avoid drying your hair with heat as much as you can; it will only age your hair.
Avoid wringing your hair with a towel after you get out of a shower. Wet hair is more fragile, and wringing it could cause your hair strands to break or fall out.
Use heat protection spray when you blow dry your hair. You should also use protection spray when you use hot rollers or a flat iron.
3Avoid brushing your hair while it's wet. Wet hair is stretchier and has a tendency to break. Also, don't brush your hair too much. People say that brushing your hair 100 strokes a day will make it smoother -- but it will only cause breakage to your hair.
When you do brush your hair, try a natural bristle brush like a boar bristle brush. These brushes distribute oils throughout your hair to make it softer and shinier.
Only use a wide-tooth comb on wet hair. Apply leave-in conditioner or detangler to make your hair more pliable.
4Give your hair some special treatment from time to time.
Apply a deep conditioning treatment. You can use deep conditioning treatments like olive oil, argan oil, avocado oil or coconut oil.
You can also purchase a hair mask or hair cream and apply it.
Use a natural treatment like olive oil, mayonnaise and an egg or a soak in full-fat milk. Leave these treatments in for 2 to 3 hours and rinse them out thoroughly without applying shampoo or conditioner. You can do this once or twice per week, if you see good results.
Use a leave-in conditioner at least once a week. Leave-in conditioners penetrate deep into your hair cuticles to heal them more completely.
Try a spray leave in conditioner/ detangler after you shower. The conditioner will make your hair more pliable and manageable.
5Go easy on styling products. Styling products can dry your scalp, if you use it directly at the scalp. Try not to use it often, but if you must, apply to hair strands and not the scalp. Then, style your hair at most 4 times a week to avoid damaging it.
6Accessorize your healthy, gorgeous hair. Clips or barrettes can compliment beautiful hair. Coordinate them with your outfits or your personality. If you use elastics, use fabric-covered elastics to prevent breakage and tangles.
7Eat healthy foods that will keep your hair strong and lustrous. Your diet can also prevent hair loss.
Essential fatty acids, especially omega-3 fatty acids, promote healthy skin, hair and nails. You should eat some of these foods, which are rich in omega-3, every day:
Salmon, tuna, mackerel, and other fatty fish
Flax seed oil
Walnuts, almonds, and milk
Vitamins B-6, B-12, and folic acid are also important to your hair. You can always take a multivitamin to get more of these nutrients, but you can also add foods rich in these vitamins to your diet.
Vitamin B-6: bananas, potatoes (both white and sweet) and spinach.
Vitamin B-12: meat, poultry, fish and dairy products.
Folic acid: citrus fruits, tomatoes, whole grain and fortified grain products, beans and lentils.
Protein also promotes healthy hair. Eat a daily serving of fish, chicken, eggs or soy.[1]
EditMethod 2 of 6: Caring for Straight Hair
1Use the right shampoo and conditioner to keep your straight hair from becoming fine and limp. Preferably one that adds volume (especially if your hair is naturally fine). If regular shampoo doesn't work for you, try a suflate and silicone free shampoo.
2Dry your hair with a large flat paddle brush. The brush will not only tame your strands but also polish your hair and smooth it.
3Use styling products that have a finish. To make your hair look glossy, apply a light volumizing mousse before you blow dry. If you need hold, use a flexible-hold hairspray.
4Pick the right heat-styling tools. If you need to flat iron your hair, choose a tool with variable heat settings. Use the lowest heat setting that effectively irons your hair to avoid heat-related damage.
5If you want to curl or add waves to your hair, use curling irons and wands work best for your hair type.
6Avoid daily heat styling. A simple braid or an elegant one can be worn on days when you don't want to or shouldn't style your hair. Occasional hot rollers are okay, but you should mostly embrace your straight locks.[2]
EditMethod 3 of 6: Tips for Curly and/or Wavy Hair
1Use shampoo and conditioner specifically designed for curly hair. Make sure your shampoo is sulfate-free and silicone-free, because sulfates can dry out curly hair even more, and silicones can build-up on curly hair. Silicones are okay for your hair as long as you use a shampoo with Cocoamidopropyl Betaine, or cocobetaine, and that the shampoo does not actually contain silicones.
2Wash your hair only as needed, to preserve your hair's natural oils.
Massage the shampoo into your scalp and let the suds run down to your ends.
Put conditioner in at the midpoint of your locks and work it down to the ends. Comb it in with a wide-toothed comb, if necessary. Scrunch your hair to help define the curls.
Rinse your hair with warm or cool water to keep it from drying out.
3Blot your hair dry with a 100% cotton t-shirt, microfiber towel, or even paper towels, not rubbing/roughing your wet hair with a towel.
4Apply a deep conditioning treatment weekly. Then, apply a monthly hot oil treatment to give your locks a glossy shine.
5Avoid brushing your hair. Brushing will break your hair cuticles and cause frizz. Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to pull out tangles.
6Put a leave-in conditioner on your hair before you style it. Style your hair when it's wet and try not to touch or scrunch it while it air dries.
7Skip any styling products that contain alcohol. Sprays that contain sea salt are great for defining curls, but make sure it also contains conditioning ingredients, as sea salt can dry your hair.
8Try not to sleep with wet hair. If you have to, then braid or plait it in 3 or more sections. Also, sleep on a satin or silk pillowcase to minimize frizz.[3]
EditMethod 4 of 6: Perms and Relaxers
1Perm or relax your hair no more than once every 6 weeks. Both perms and relaxers change your hair by changing the chemical bonds. For this reason, permed and relaxed hair is really vulnerable to breakage and damage.
2Minimize heat-styling and blow-drying. Also, try not to dye your hair, if you're also chemically styling it. These processes can increase the risk of damaging permed or relaxed hair.
3Avoid relaxing your hair or getting a perm, if your scalp is irritated.[4]
4Use color with caution. Coloring permed or relaxed hair is possible, but it can damage your hair. Try clip-in weaves for highlights instead. If you need color, wait at least 3 but no more than 7 days for your appointment or talk to your stylist about what's healthiest for your hair.[5]
EditMethod 5 of 6: Coloring Your Hair
1Do your own dye job at home. You can do this easily if you're doing a quick coverage of gray hair and if the shade varies only slightly from your natural color. Anything more complicated should be handled at a salon.
Rub petroleum jelly around your hairline to keep the dye from staining your skin.
Set your timer per the directions on the dye package. Wash the color out immediately and all at once when the timer goes off.
2Get color at a salon.
Deep condition your hair a couple of days before your appointment. Moisturizing your hair will help it to hold color better. Also, if you can hold off, don't shampoo on the day of your appointment.
Bring a picture. You can tell your stylist "strawberry blonde," but he or she might have a very different vision of what that means than you do. A picture clarifies what you want.
3Take great care of colored hair.
Keep your hair healthy and moisturized. Dry hair loses color quickly.
Protect your hair when you head outside in the sun.[6] Wear a hat or a scarf, or put your hair into a braid or a knot. You can also use products that contain SPF.
EditMethod 6 of 6: Great Hair for Men
1Use any kind of shampoo. For most male hairstyles, no particular shampoo is better than another. If you have dandruff, look for shampoo containing ketoconazole, salicylic acid, tar, zinc or selenium sulfide.
2Decide whether or not to condition.
If you have straight, short hair, you can skip the conditioner or use a shampoo/conditioner combo.
Curly, wavy or long hair, on the other hand, probably does need to be conditioned. Experiment with different brands to find something that you like.
3Protect your scalp from the sun. If you have thin spots, either rub sunscreen on them or use a spray sunscreen to keep your scalp from burning and peeling.
4Care for thinning hair. You can try an over-the-counter hair regrowth product or talk to your doctor about a prescription. Disguise thin spots by using extra-body conditioner and putting a dab of styling gel over the spot.[7]
5Go easy on styling products. Don't use more than a dime-sized blob of gel. Once your hair is in place, you can finish it off with a bit of wax on the tips for definition and shine.[8]

EditTips
Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase. Cotton pillowcases make hair look dry; they suck out the moisture and can cause frizz. Avoid going to bed with wet or damp hair.
Thoroughly rinse and wet your hair before you go swimming so that it doesn't absorb the chlorine. Do the same thing afterward to get rid of chlorine. You can also swim with a cap to protect your hair.
Always remember to brush your hair loosely and gently. Brushing your hair harshly would make it faster but it is also very hard on your hair.
Don't use heat regularly.
Learn how to trim and cut your own hair. Some hairdressers will cut too much leaving you feeling worse for wear. There are some great tutorials on YouTube.
Loosely tie up plait or put long hair in a turban at night so it does not tangle as much.
If you have curly hair then use conditioner more than shampoo because it good for curly hair.
If you have curly hair, don't straighten it all the time. It will damage your hair in the long run.
Use a clarifying shampoo once every week to get rid of product build up.
If you have dandruff, try washing your hair with lemon juice mixed with water.

EditWarnings
If you notice your hair is becoming dry, wash it less frequently to restore the natural oil balance. Wait until your hair becomes oily at the roots before you wash it.

You may not have dandruff; you may have psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis, which will require prescription treatment.

He loves how even patrolling a few edits and making small improvements helps potentially thousands of people learn something new. His advice to new users is jump right in, and when you have questions, ask for help!
