What are your favourite tips, tricks and secrets to having healthy and fabulous hair?

1. Wash your hair twice a week

Washing your hair twice a week helps to prevent breakage, hair loss and precious natural oils from being stripped. An extra bonus is your favourite shampoo and conditioner will last that much longer before you have to restock!

2. Get regular trims

Even if you’re trying to grow your locks, it’s important to pop into your local hairdressers once every couple of weeks to get those pesky split ends chopped off! Unfortunately, they are a sign of unhealthy hair which is why they will do you no favours in the long run if you decide to leave them be.

3. Brush your hair twice a day

You should brush your hair once in the morning and again in the evening to prevent those dreaded knots and tangles. Furthermore, regular brushing will increase blood circulation to your scalp and promotes healthy hair growth.

4. Limit your use of heat appliances

Limit yourself to only using your hair straightener, curler and blow-dryer once a week at the most. Frequent and regular use of these heat appliances will gradually damage your hair and leave it prone to breakage and split ends, as well as overall reducing the quality. However, when you do use one of these make sure you use a heat protectant spray before you get styling!

5. Comb (don't brush) your wet hair
Not surprisingly, your hair is fragile and weak when it’s wet and becomes very prone to breakage and general damage. A hair brush is thought to be too harsh on wet hair, which has the ability to catalyse these problems. To avoid this problem, opt for a wide-tooth comb which will be gentle and soft on your wet locks.
