JAKARTA - Shiny hair requires care that is not instant, especially if you often do hair styling activities such as straightening and coloring your hair. Hair will be more easily damaged, broken and fluffy. Here are some ways you can do to overcome hair problems due to hair styling activities, reported Healthline, Friday, July 22.

Applying Heat Protective Products

Before the hair is straightened or in the hair dryer, you should use a heat protectant product. Currently, there are many products sold in the market that can protect your hair from the heat of the hair styling process.

Use Hair Masks and Vitamins

Try to always apply hair vitamins before you start the styling process such as straightening or hair dryers. Regular use of hair vitamins and masks can loosen and soften dry and rough hair.

Determine the Right Temperature

It is very important to determine the correct temperature of the blow dryer and straightener in your hair. Temperatures that are too hot can cause hair damage such as falling out, breaking, and breaking. Try to always use the best temperature for the straightener and hairdryer, which is around 1850C.

Use Special Shampoo and Conditioner

If you are someone who always straightens and blows hair, you need a special shampoo and conditioner. You can choose a good shampoo to nourish and repair damaged hair, such as zinc, magnesium, vitamins, and other proteins.

Use Olive Oil

Olive oil is very popular in hair care. This oil has been shown to help hydrate hair and smooth cuticles. It also softens hair and restores much-needed moisture. Hair care using olive oil is also relatively inexpensive. You can save money on hair care.

Rinse with rice water

Although rarely heard, research shows that rice water can help repair damaged hair. Inositol, an ingredient found in rice water, has been shown to penetrate damaged hair and repair hair from the inside out.
