Make a hair mask at home for healthy hair. Eggs and avocado mixed together, work well. Massage this mixture into your strands, leave on for 20 minutes, then gently rinse. Just be warned that rinsing can take awhile. The reason this works is that the fatty acids and minerals in the avocado make your hair look shiny.
Limit blow dryer use. A blow dryer produces harmful, hot air, so let your hair dry out naturally whenever possible. If you have to use your blow dryer, make sure it stays on the coolest setting, and avoid holding it over one section of hair for too long. Drying your hair with a towel before blow drying it will make it dry faster.
Never use any hair products that have alcohol in them. Alcohol drys our hair, leaving it brittle. Unfortunately, it can sometimes be a challenge to locate these products, as many of the popular hair care products available have alcohol in them.
If you have a limited amount of time to make your hair look classy, it is a good idea to use clamps, jaw claws or other hair accessories. In just a minute or two you can put together a number of different looks. Avoid using rubber bands and tight bobby pins that may increase the physical stress on your hair.

Hair can grow at a bit more quickly during the summer season, or if you use certain supplements. Trims can help with appearance, as they remove split ends.
Try cutting your own hair. If you go to a hair salon to get a hair trim every six weeks, this can add up to a lot of money; you can save that money by learning how to give yourself a haircut. Do an online search to find instructional videos on how to properly cut hair.
Beer can be used to get rid of the build-up of residue in your hair. Build-up from dirt and hair products can take the life out of your hair. Beer is good at removing this type of build-up. Start mixing six tablespoons of any beer with a cup of some warm water. Make this the final rinse when you condition and wash your hair to take away residual build-up.
Don't wash your hair two days after you colored it. This will help minimize the damage to your hair and help your color last longer. The chemicals found in hair dye can damage your hair; to avoid this damage try using either a henna wash or lemon juice.
As you look for new hair products, seek those made of primarily natural substances. It is also important to get a shampoo and conditioner that is made for your type of hair. Buy smaller sizes and try a variety of products until you locate ones that maximize your hair's true potential.
Allow your hair to air-dry as opposed to applying heat with a blow dryer. The heat a blow dryer creates can damage your hair. Rubbing your hair aggressively with a towel causes it to break and further damages it.
