Hair ... how many different articles have already been written about them, on different topics, and all because hair for a girl is like a frame for a picture, without it it is not at all the same look)) Even writers, describing the image of a girl, always pay special attention to hair. Therefore, today we will talk about where the health and beauty of hair begins.

There is only one way to make your hair beautiful and, most importantly, healthy, is to start grooming it regularly.

6 principles of healthy and beautiful hair

# 1 Do no harm. This is the main principle in hair care. Try to take good care of the curls, do not do different experiments with them. Treat your hair with love and it will reciprocate you, will grow healthy, strong and beautiful.

# 2 Regularly groom your hair. You cannot take care of your hair for a month or even a year, and then hope that it will be beautiful and healthy all your life, this does not happen. The choice of basic hair care products (shampoo, conditioner, mask, leave-in products) depends on your hair type. Only through trial and error will you find the right care products for your hair.

# 3 Use quality hair gadgets. Hair care of a modern girl is hard to imagine without a hairdryer. Styling with a hairdryer gives hair extra volume and shine. But, it is important to buy a high-quality hair dryer that does not allow the hair to overheat, controls the temperature itself, has ionization and many other functions. Irons and curling irons should be of high quality coating, preferably professional.

# 4 Protect your hair in winter and summer. In winter, hair suffers from cold, wind and heat, so don't forget about extra moisture and be sure to wear a hat. And in summer, your hair suffers from the sun, sea and chlorinated water, so wear hats, panama hats, use special products to protect your hair from the sun. With high humidity, the hair is dried out, and cold temperatures thin it.

# 5 Hair nourishment. If something is wrong in the body, the hair is the first to suffer, they are an indicator of our health. In order for our body to receive a sufficient amount of all the necessary vitamins, micro- and macroelements, we need to eat 6,000 kcal, these are unrealistic numbers. Therefore, in addition to a balanced diet, we also need to nourish our hair with additional vitamins, at least in spring and autumn. These can be complex vitamins or some separate ones.

Proper nutrition is the key to the beauty and health of not only hair, but also the body as a whole.

# 6 Regular hair trimming. To maintain the quality of hair, the ends must be trimmed every three months: trimmed 2–2.5 cm helps to accelerate the growth of healthy hair, and the hairstyle looks fresh and neat immediately.
