Heat styling tools such as hairdryers, straighteners, and curling irons are widely used but can cause considerable damage to hair if used excessively or improperly. It’s advisable to use these tools on a lower heat setting and to always use a heat protectant spray beforehand to minimize damage. Whenever possible, letting your hair air-dry and embracing its natural texture can prevent heat damage and keep your hair healthier.

Trimming hair regularly is another vital aspect of hair care. Even if growing out your hair, trimming the ends every 6-8 weeks can prevent split ends from working their way up the strand, which would cause more damage and require more length to be cut off in the long run. Regular trims help maintain the health and appearance of your hair.
Many people overlook the importance of scalp care, but a healthy scalp is essential for healthy hair growth. Exfoliating the scalp can help remove dead skin cells and product buildup, promoting new hair growth. Products like scalp scrubs or treatments with ingredients like tea tree oil can maintain a healthy scalp environment.
