For soft and shiny hair, you can create a treatment at home. This is not a complex process; you only need one simple ingredient. Crack an egg and separate the egg white from the egg yolk. Whisk the egg white well in a bowl and then apply to your hair. After applying, wash your hair with shampoo and the hair will be looking wonderful.

If you wear a ponytail every day, make sure that you do not wear it in the exact same position on your head each day. Even soft, fabric hair scrunchies can cause hair breakage if they are placed in the same part of your hair day after day. If you must tie your hair back for your job, give your hair a break by letting it down during your non-work hours.

Select a shampoo formulated for your particular type of hair. Choosing a shampoo that is especially suited for your type of hair will make all the difference in how healthy it is and how manageable it will be on a daily basis. If you have fine hair, choose a shampoo that adds volume, while those with dry and color-treated hair will need to opt for one with added moisturizers.

For those days when you are in a rush, try styling your tresses when wet. Use a bit of gel, and use your fingers to create a simple style. Then, allow the sun to dry your hair. This gives the hair a wavy look with more volume.

Whenever a blow dryer is being used, it is important to move your hair around so that the heat isn't focused on a single area. This will decrease the chances of your hair sustaining any damages from using too much heat.

Wait two days before shampooing your hair after you have colored it. When your hair has had color applied, the cuticle requires time to reseal otherwise the color will quickly fade. You should also remember wetting your hair within the first 48 hours re-opens the cuticle; therefore, it is important that your hair remain completely dry for at least two days. If you can be patient, you will be treated with healthy hair.

Don't believe the myth that says trimming your hair makes it grow faster. Regardless of how often hair is cut, it only grows an average of a half-inch per month. Your hair might grow faster in the summer or if you are taking supplements such as biotin, this is a hormone, not scissors. Trims get rid of split ends and can make hair look better though.

Healthy living is the best way to ensure healthy hair. Eating right, avoiding stress, refraining from smoking and getting enough vitamins are all essential for getting the best hair possible. If you would like to understand which vitamins and minerals to add to your diet, you can have a hair analysis performed. Your hair condition is directly dependent on proper nutrition.

Refrain from washing your hair for two days after coloring. Your hair can be severely damaged, and it can also wash the color out of it. The chemicals found in hair dye can damage your hair; to avoid this damage try using either a henna wash or lemon juice.

Gorgeous hair is not beyond you, it can become your reality. Follow the advice given, and you should see a positive change with your hair over time. All you need is a little patience and these expert tips, and your hair will soon become your "crowning glory.
