Looking for easy to apply healthy hair care tips everywhere? Or delaying building your hair care routine for later because you think it is complicated and time-consuming?
You shouldn’t be doing both anymore.
If having the hair of your dreams has been on your goals list, then now is the time to start paying some attention.
Everyone’s concept of awesome hair differs. It may sometimes mean more than one haircut or color, but whatever that is, I think that it has healthy and reflective in its portrayal.
Healthy means shiny and strong, whereas reflective means that it reflects your character.
Because your hair is a part of who you are and not just a piece that beautifies you; its state affects how you feel about yourself and create an effect on your surroundings, caring about it must have always been a desire!
But I get it; it can be quite frustrating due to the many hair care routines and steps available that you got no idea from where to start! But it hasn’t always need to be that hard.
You can start by applying these simple and healthy hair care tips today and reverse the situation.
Love and appreciate your hair type and color
Whether your hair is dark or light, curly or straight, rough or smooth, appreciate it the way it is, and then do your own efforts to make it look its best.
Your hair is a part of your body and a reflection of what you go through! There is no perfect hairstyle or one attractive hair color.
Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying you should be boring and stick to the same haircut and color for the rest of your life. Change is cool.
But when you decide to alter for a new hair look, you know it’s because you love to change, not because you do not admire your natural hair state.
Start by loving it, and caring about it will be much easier later.
Drink enough water
You should be at least drinking two liters of water if one of your goals is to have great skin and hair.
Not only is water good for your hair, but it is also good for your eyes, your cells, your gut, nails, and every little live organ in your body.
Maybe you are one extra cup of water away from shifting your skin and hair health and appearance for the better.
Most of us assume we are drinking enough water until we start tracking it, and here comes the surprise!
You are probably dehydrated. Go get a cup of water, now. It is good for your hair.
Eat what your hair needs
If you use the best hair care products but don’t pay as much to what you eat, your hair properly isn’t as healthy and shiny as it should be.
Eating healthy and wise is the basis of all sorts of beauty, including that of your hairs, a fact that would never go old.
So let’s have a look at the best hair nutrients:
Protein
Your hair is made up of protein. If you don’t eat enough of that, your hair is going to be fragile, weak, and unhealthy.
If you want great-looking hair, focus on getting enough protein. Besides, make sure to consume both plant-based and animal-based proteins. Varieties are always much effective.
Protein-rich foods: eggs, meat, chicken, tuna, fish, broccoli, almonds, and lentils.
Iron
Your hair gets oxygen from the iron found in your red blood cells.
Iron-rich foods: liver, red meat, chickpeas, nuts, dried fruits.
B vitamins
Much of B vitamins are responsible for creating red blood cells, which carry oxygen and nutrients straight to your hair follicles.
B vitamin-rich foods: Whole grains, meat, eggs, nuts, seeds, leafy greens, and fruits.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C helps to absorb iron from the diet and aids the production of collagen in the body.
Vitamin C-rich foods: Bell peppers, thyme, parsley, broccoli, potatoes, oranges, and strawberries.
Fatty acids
Fatty acids are essential for your hair as they are found in the natural oils your scalp produces to keep your hair protected and hydrated. It is good to consume both animal-based and plant-based fatty acids.
Fatty acids-rich foods: salmon, mackerel, tuna, sardines, flax seeds, chia seeds, and walnuts.
All nutrients are vital for the health and glow of your hair. Choose your food carefully and support yourself to be at your best.
Use these two hair nourishing techniques
You can do more to your hair by choosing to care for it externally as well as internally.
Two of the best and natural ways to keep your hair at its greatest are to use an oil-based mask and an herbal rinse.

2. Apply to your hair and leave for 3o minutes or up to 2 hours.

Repeat once a week or twice a week if you got damaged and fragile hair.
Hair herbal rinses are another easy and effective choice.
To prepare an herbal hair rinse:
1. Pour boiling water to a moderate amount of the chosen herb.
2. Let cool and pour through a strainer
3. Use after washing your hair, and don’t rinse.
Best herbal hair rinses:
Rosemary: good for dandruff, hair growth, and soothing itchy scalps.
Sage: good for circulation, hair strength, and smoothness.
Chamomile: good for hair nourishment, circulation, and collagen production.
Parsley: enhances hair color and gives a nice shine
Thyme: good for balancing oil production and controlling dandruff.
