Ten Super Hair Tips for Natural Hair This Summer

Let Summer Be Your Guide For Healthy Hair

Summer time is upon us and what better way to celebrate by embracing the beauty of our natural hair, right? Summertime is a great time to re-evaluate the condition of our hair and make improvements where we can. So, while you are enjoying lemonade, summer barbeques, picnics, camp outs, and time by the pool, here are a few tips to enjoying and caring for your hair this summer:

1. Leave the Heat: Heat destroys hair cuticles, hair follicles, and dries the scalp causing disturbance in the micro-flora of the scalp. Forget blow drying or using a curling iron. Your hair will love you back.
2. Trim your hair. During the warmer summer months a hair trim would do your hair good. By trimming your hair – even by an inch - you can avoid plenty of split ends in the future.
3. Stop using synthetic products for your hair. Most of our hair products are petroleum based (that means in used to be crude oil in before it was refined and processed). Petroleum based hair products may smell good and be effective, but they can often dry out the cuticles, plug up your hair follicles, and irritate your scalp.
4. Reduce your shampooing. Most likely you are shampooing your hair more than three times a week. Experts agree that more than that will strip your hair of natural oils that the sebaceous glands produce to protect it.
5. Condition your hair naturally after a shower. Forget the expensive beauty store products! One of the best ways to condition your hair is to use natural virgin olive oil. Olive oil works great to seal in moisture and smooth out damaged hair shafts. In addition, it’s great to moisturize the scalp. This also helps to reduce your frizzy hair!
6. Consider using coconut oil and gently rub it into your hair. Like olive oil, this is a great alternative to synthetic hair products that are expensive.
7. Do you have a build-up of hair product in your hair that is weight it down? Here is a secret rinse your hair with a solution of baking soda. Make sure you rinse it out thoroughly!
8. Natural hair growth can only be stimulated by several essential vitamin compounds and trace minerals. If you are over-worked, over-stressed, exposed to pollution, the vitamins that promote hair growth quickly get depleted. Nourishing your hair from the inside can help restore the luster and beauty of your hair. Try Alpha Renew Hair Vitamins.
9. Protect your hair from the sun with a little dab of sun block. Yeah, it’s a little sticky but dilute it with a little water and rub it in. Your hair will be protected from the very damaging UV rays.
10. Probiotics. Huh? Yeah, probiotics have a lot to do with the health of your hair. Without these friendly bacteria your hair will soon be suffering and struggling to grow within a few months.
If you embrace your natural hair, you will feel better, look better, and save money too!
