Tips for beautiful hair

1 Beautiful hair thanks to a good hairdresser

If you have beautiful hair, it doesn't necessarily come naturally. Behind every great hairstyle is a cut and, if necessary, coloring by a professional. That's what he's there for. So, make an appointment!

2 Take care of your scalp too

Beautiful hair starts at the roots. An itchy, irritated scalp lacks moisture. In winter, this is often a problem caused by heating air. Special tinctures and SOS tonics hydrate, and coconut oil also helps.

3 Don't wash so often

On the second day, the hair often falls much more beautifully, is more manageable and no longer as fluffy because the sebum from the hair roots is distributed during combing. In addition, daily washing often strains the hair and also dries out the scalp. Tip: Use dry shampoo more often - this not only saves time, but also conjures up that much sought-after volume.

4 Don't wash so hot

The right temperature is not hot, but lukewarm, otherwise too much moisture is lost. For more brilliance, rinse with cold water afterwards.

5 Don't rub your hair

After washing, wrap a towel around your hair and only gently squeeze it out. Otherwise the cuticle layer will be roughened and it will break more quickly.

6 Use the right care products

The magic word is type-appropriate. Seek advice from your hairdresser. If in doubt, this also means: less is more.

7 Use the conditioner correctly

The number one rule for beautiful hair: only apply conditioner to the lengths and ends - this is where the care is needed after every hair wash. Masks should only be applied once a week to the entire hair.

8 Air dry more often

Do as the models do: if you have a relaxed day without work, leave the heat styling tools such as straighteners or curling irons behind. After all, blow-drying, straightening or curling with a hair straightener or curling iron can damage your hair and damage its structure. Give your hair a break from time to time so that it can recover. If you can't do without it at all: select the lowest setting.

9 Detangling hair with the right brushes

Hands off plastic brushes! Many have sharp edges that tear the hair and cause breakage. Products with natural bristles, such as boar bristles, are much gentler on the hair and - if properly cared for - also last longer. Detanglers (hair detangling brushes) are also highly recommended. If you prefer to use a comb, use one with wide teeth. Work slowly from the bottom upwards, spraying in a leave-in conditioner beforehand if necessary.

10 Leave your hair loose more often

Yes, a ponytail is super practical, but tying it up puts a strain on the hair fiber every time. It's also better not to do this at night, otherwise everything will get tangled up in the elastic - and it's also much better to sleep with your hair loose.

11 The right elastic

It is best to use spiral elastics for braids. Simple elastics are often stapled with a piece of metal, which can damage the hair fiber and lead to hair loss.

12 Sleep on silk pillows or satin

Cotton pillows can roughen the hair structure, which can quickly lead to hair breakage in an already damaged mane. Better to choose a pillowcase made of silk or satin - this protects the hair fiber. This will keep your mop of hair healthy and shiny for longer.

13 Go to the salon regularly for a trim

The golden rule is: the cut should be renewed every six weeks, otherwise it will eventually look outgrown and that's not nice. Re-tinting is allowed every three months, because a bit of a grown-out look is now in.

14 Put up a protective shield

If you use hair dryers and styling tools a lot, make sure you apply heat protection to your hair beforehand. Simply spray into towel-dried hair and style as usual. This will keep your hair looking good for longer.

15 Blow-drying and styling hair correctly

When styling your hair, do it like the pros: they take one passée at a time and put everything to one side. To style with a straightener, round brush etc., detangle the hair and then work through it strand by strand. You'll be done faster and the look will stay in place. Finished styling? Wonderful! As a finish, spray a little shine spray either directly onto the hair or first onto a natural bristle brush and then go through the hair slowly and carefully - it looks great and is gentle.
