Maintaining clean, shiny hair does not have to be difficult. Keep reading to decide what style or cut will make you look and feel your best!

If you've just had your hair colored, wait at least two days before washing it. If you do, it is damaging to your hair and can wash your color out. Using chemicals to dye your hair will always weaken your hair, so consider trying natural alternatives, like henna washes for color and lemon juice for lightening.

Try using natural products on your hair. Several natural oils, including coconut, avocado and olive oil, absorb easily into your hair. Mayo and egg yolk that is mixed together with additional natural ingredients helps to moisturize your hair. Baby powder is one thing you can use if you desire a quick and dry shampooing effect on your hair. Citrus juice, like lemon, will give you natural highlights when you use it in the sun.

Try to avoid wearing your hair back in a ponytail too often. Regardless of the hair tie you use, repeated stress will always result in breakages. If you have to pull all of your hair back because of work, or for other reasons, try to pull it down for a little while every day.

When exiting the shower, avoid roughly drying your hair with a towel. This can cause your hair to break and split ends to form. The best method is to remove the bulk of the water in your hair by gently ringing it out. You can then use a towel to pat your hair dry, but do not rub the towel harshly through your hair. Try using a soft towel instead of a rough one.

If you need a quick hair style, leave it wet. Put some styling get in your hair, and style it loosely. Next, allow your hair to dry in the sun. This provides your hair some wave and volume, and the end result is a very uniquely messy look.

It is quite common for individuals to suffer from vitamin B6 deficiency. B6 plays an important role in preventing dandruff, so you definitely want to get your recommended daily amount. This ensures that dandruff will not be as prevalent on your scalp.

Regular trims can help to infuse your hair with new life. You are not doing yourself any favors by leaving damaged ends on your hair. However, while treatments can temporarily mend split ends, the best treatment is a trim to cut the damage off. From that point, you can take steps to maintain your hair in the best possible condition.

Stay away from heavy conditioners if you have thin or fine hair. Your hair will look weighted down, which is the opposite of what you want! Lighter conditioners, delivered in a spray or mousse are the best to give your hair good volume without weighing it down or causing a limp, greasy look.

You can make your hair healthy and as shiny as possibly if you have a nutritious diet and avoid smoking. As you design the optimal hair care routine, consider factors like the texture, cut and length of your hair. This ensures that you achieve the best possible results
