Who doesn't want long strong hair? Or if you like your hair short, don't you at least want it strong and with less breakage? Here are some tips for some strong, beautiful hair.
First of all, I recommend you don't wash your hair every single day. If you wake up and your hair isn't that oily, definitely just throw some dry shampoo or baby powder on your scalp and style it like you usually do. Just try not to use as many hair styling products as you usually do, this can really bring out the oiliness much faster than usual.
When washing your hair, do not twist your hair around on top of your head to wash it. Shampoo and scrub your scalp and work your way down to your ends. Also, when conditioning your hair, don't think that if you don't put conditioner all over your head, it will cause your hair to be less oily. The best way to condition your hair is to work it in from your ears down, and only use a little bit. When drying your hair, don't be really rough with it like rubbing it vigorously with a towel. You should gently squeeze out the water from top to bottom instead. Try combing your hair from top to bottom, working each tangle out, once your get out of the shower.
If you can, try to avoid as many styling tools as possible. For me, it is extremely hard to ditch my straightening iron, but in order to not ditch that, I don't use my blow dryer unless I ABSOLUTELY have to. Then on some days I just call it a "no-straightener day", so that my hair can heal somewhat.
Always make sure to deep condition your hair at least monthly. I use the Burt's Bees 2 Minute Deep Conditioner because it is almost completely natural (the only thing I am concerned about is sulfates). You can also get the Aussie 3 Minute Deep Conditioning treatment.
I also recommend putting in a non-breakage hair styling product for while your hair is still wet. I actually use the Suave Professionals Extreme Strength Daily Leave In Treatment. I think that it really works, and it also smells better than a lot of other products. The Redken Extreme line which comes in the navy blue bottles is also a great line of products to look for.
Most important of all, get your hair trimmed about half an inch every six weeks or so. Trimming your ends will help damage from working its way up the hair.

*Tip of the Day* This is another buy of the day, but like my blog says I am not advertising anything..I am just giving my opinion. I loved my Chi Straightening Iron, and mine lasted for five years, which is almost a century for a Chi. I then switched to the Sedu and I fell in love. The Sedu is made for almost any hair type, and it really helps to get rid of the fly aways. Really consider looking into a Sedu if you need a new hair straightener. They are both about the same price :)
