Long hair is timeless and many dream of growing healthy, shiny, and strong locks. Achieving long hair takes dedication and care, but the results are definitely worth it. Growing long hair healthily can be a challenge. For example, you may have damage to the ends, which can make you feel like your hair is not getting any longer. The ends of the hair are very susceptible to damage, so it is important to pay extra attention to them. In this blog, we share some tips to keep your hair healthy, strong, and shiny while growing it long.
- A healthy diet for healthy hair
Health starts from within, and that goes for your hair too. A balanced diet with enough protein, vitamins (such as vitamins A, C, and E), minerals (including iron and zinc), and omega-3 fatty acids is essential for healthy hair growth. Make sure to drink plenty of water to keep your hair hydrated. Tip: Vitamin B2 promotes hair growth.
- Regular Hair Care
A good hair care routine is the basis for healthy long hair. Use mild or sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners that are suitable for your hair type or the end result you want to achieve. Washing your hair daily is no problem, but make sure to provide extra protection for the ends. It is best to ensure that the ends are and remain as strong as possible. The Rescue Collection is extremely suitable for this and then pay special attention to the Bond Therapy Weekly Treatment!
- Heat protection
Using heated styling tools such as blow dryers, flat irons, and curling irons can cause damage to your hair. Always use products with heat protection before using these tools. This will protect your hair from this heat damage and keep it healthy and shiny.
- Regular Cutting
It may seem counterintuitive, but getting your hair trimmed regularly is important for growing long hair. By removing split ends, you prevent the damage from spreading further down the hair strand. If you don’t do this, there is a big chance that your hair will ‘crumble’ and therefore not grow longer. The ends are simply too weak. A trim every 8-12 weeks is usually sufficient. So tell your hairstylist that the hair should be cut just above the split end and not shorter!
- Soft Treatment
Treat your hair with care. Don’t pull on wet hair as this can break it. Pat your hair dry with a soft towel. Use a wide-toothed comb or a natural bristle brush to gently remove tangles. Wear your hair tied in a soft bun or ponytail at night to reduce friction and prevent breakage.
- Natural Oils
Natural oils like argan oil, coconut oil, and jojoba oil can do wonders for your hair. Apply a little oil to the ends occasionally (or even daily) to add hydration and shine. Use the Go with the Glow Hair Oil for this. Shampoos and conditioners with these oils are also preferred. Check out the options within the different collections of The Insiders.
- Protect your hair from environmental influences
UV rays from the sun and pollution can damage your hair. Wear a hat or use a hair product with UV protection if you spend a lot of time outdoors. Rinse your hair after exposure to chlorine or salt water to minimize damage or apply a mask to your hair before jumping in the water.
- Patience and Patience
Growing long hair takes patience. Hair growth varies from person to person, but on average hair grows about 1 to 1.5 centimeters per month. Stay committed to your care routine and give your hair the time it needs.
Having healthy, shiny, and strong long hair is a great way to express and accentuate your personal style. With the right care and attention for your hair, you can really make a big difference. It just takes some discipline and the right products. Before you know it, you’ll be reaping the rewards of your efforts with breathtaking long hair that’s healthy, shiny, and strong.
