Welcome to Your Healthiest Hair Ever!
At Obsessions Salon, we know that beautiful hair starts with healthy hair. This guide will give you expert advice, top hair care tips, and salon secrets to help you achieve strong, shiny, and vibrant locks.
Daily Hair Care Routine for Healthy Hair
Use a Sulfate-Free Shampoo – Sulfates strip natural oils, leaving hair dry and brittle. Opt for professional-grade products recommended by your stylist.
Condition Like a Pro – Apply conditioner only to the mid-lengths and ends to avoid greasy roots. Leave it on for two to five minutes before rinsing with cool water.
Rinse with Cool Water – Hot water opens the cuticle, making hair prone to frizz. Cool water helps seal it for a sleek finish.
Detangle with Care – Use a wide-tooth comb on wet hair and start from the ends, working your way up to prevent breakage.
Use a Microfiber Towel or Cotton T-Shirt – Regular towels cause friction, leading to frizz and breakage. Instead, gently squeeze out excess water using a microfiber towel.
Weekly Hair Rituals for Stronger Strands
Deep Condition Weekly – Use a hydrating hair mask once a week to restore moisture and strength. Apply from mid-lengths to ends and leave it on for at least twenty minutes.
Limit Heat Styling – If you must use heat, always apply a heat protectant spray before styling and keep tools at a low to medium heat setting.
Oil Your Hair Overnight – Apply a few drops of argan, coconut, or castor oil to the ends of your hair before bed for added hydration and repair.
Avoid Tight Hairstyles – Constant pulling from tight ponytails and buns can lead to hair thinning and breakage over time. Opt for loose styles when possible.
Hair Washing Myths and Mistakes
Myth: Washing Hair Every Day is Best – Washing too often strips natural oils. Aim for two to three times per week unless you have very oily hair.
Myth: The More Shampoo, the Better – You only need a coin-sized amount for short hair and two coin-sized amounts for longer hair. Over-shampooing can cause dryness.
Myth: Brushing Wet Hair is Safe – Hair is weakest when wet. Always use a detangling spray and a wide-tooth comb instead of a brush.
Hair-Boosting Nutrition: Feed Your Follicles
Your diet plays a huge role in hair health. Eat foods rich in:
Protein – Builds strong, resilient hair strands. Eggs, fish, chicken, tofu.
Healthy Fats – Keeps hair hydrated and shiny. Avocados, nuts, olive oil.
Vitamin C – Boosts collagen production for stronger strands. Citrus fruits, bell peppers.
Biotin and Zinc – Supports hair growth and reduces shedding. Almonds, spinach, pumpkin seeds.
Stay Hydrated – Drink at least two litres of water daily to keep hair and scalp moisturised.
Salon-Approved Tips for Growing Longer, Thicker Hair
Trim Every Six to Eight Weeks – Regular trims prevent split ends from traveling up the hair shaft, keeping hair healthier and fuller.
Use Silk Pillowcases – Reduces friction and breakage compared to cotton pillowcases.
Massage Your Scalp – Stimulates blood flow and encourages hair growth. Try a two-minute scalp massage daily.
Avoid Drugstore Box Dye – Over-the-counter dyes contain harsh chemicals that damage hair long-term. Trust a professional for color services.
The Biggest Hair Mistakes to Avoid
Skipping Heat Protectant – Leads to weaker, drier, and more brittle strands over time.
Using Drugstore Shampoos – Often contain sulfates and parabens, which dry out your hair and fade colour.
Tight Ponytails and Extensions – Can cause traction alopecia (hair loss from repeated tension).
Ignoring Your Scalp – A healthy scalp means healthy hair. Use a gentle scalp scrub once a week to remove buildup.
