Tips for Healthy, Beautiful Hair

Keeping your hair healthy, shiny, and strong starts with the right care routine and products. Here are some expert tips from dermatologists to help you maintain gorgeous, healthy hair every day.

1. Wash According to Your Scalp Type
How often you wash your hair depends on how much oil your scalp produces:

  • Oily scalp: Wash once a day or as needed to keep oil under control.

  • Chemically treated or dry hair: Wash less frequently to avoid stripping natural oils.

  • Aging scalp: As you get older, your scalp produces less oilso you may need fewer washes.
    If you notice flakes, you may not be shampooing enough, which can lead to dandruff or scalp irritation.

2. Focus Shampoo on the Scalp
When shampooing, concentrate on cleaning the scalp, not the entire length of your hair. Over-washing the ends can cause dryness, dullness, and flyaway’s.

3. Always Use Conditioner
Unless you use a 2-in-1 formula, apply conditioner after every shampoo. Conditioner helps to:

  • Boost shine and smoothness

  • Reduce static and frizz

  • Strengthen hair strands

  • Protect from UV damage

Pro tip: Apply conditioner mainly to the ends of your hair, especially if it’s fine or prone to limpness. Avoid the scalp area to prevent greasiness.

4. Choose Products for Your Hair Type
Select shampoos and conditioners formulated for your unique hair needs:

  • Color-treated hair: Use color-safe products to maintain vibrancy.

  • Damaged or chemically treated hair: Try a nourishing 2-in-1 or restorative treatment.

  • Curly, dry, or frizzy hair: Look for moisturizing and sulfate-free options.

Remember, great results don’t always require expensive productsthe right formulation for your hair type matters more than the price tag.

5. Protect Hair When Swimming
Chlorine and salt water can strip your hair of moisture and shine. Before swimming:

  • Wet your hair and apply a leave-in conditioner to create a protective barrier.

  • Wear a swim cap for extra protection.

  • After swimming, use a swimmers’ shampoo and a deep conditioner to restore hydration.
