Who does not want healthy hair? ‘Who no like good thing?’ We all want healthy, long hair and at times we envy people with long hair and just wish it were ours. Well, today I bring good news; I come with glad tidings on getting that luxurious hair you have always dreamed of. Here are tips to getting long healthy hair:
Long Hair Maintenance Tips
Get Regular Trims
Regularly trim split ends; split ends cause breakage and if not trimmed, will travel upward weakening your hair. You should trim your hair every 6-8 weeks, making sure you do not trim off too much hair.
Minimize Shampoo Sessions
I know we like a clean scalp but try to reduce your hair’s exposure to shampoo. When you wash your hair, use sulfate-free shampoos as sulfate strips your hair of vital oils that make your hair grow healthy and strong.
Wash With Cool Water
I know a lot of us like to wash our hair with hot water at the salon probably but hot water strips the hair of natural oils, leaving our hair dry and flaky, which could lead to hair loss. Washing with cool water will help to close the hair cuticle and lock in moisture.
Turn Down The Heat
I know we all love to use a blow dryer, curling iron or straightener, but frequent heat styling could cause irreparable damage. If you have to heat style, try using a lower heat setting and also ensure you use a heat protectant.
Eat Well
Hair loss and breakage can occur as a result of poor diet. Eat protein-rich foods like fish, beef, eggs, legumes etc. to promote hair growth.
Massage Your Scalp Regularly

Hair massage not only feels good, but it also stimulates hair follicles and boosts circulation which can promote new hair growth. Adding natural oil such as argan or chamomile can help moisturise the scalp and nourish your hair.
Moisturize
Apply hair cream to your hair daily to keep it hydrated.
Whatever you do, don’t give up! Follow these tips and have faith that you are on your way to having long, healthy looking hair.
