Hair is everything. We wish it wasn't so we could actually think about something else occasionally, but it is. It's the difference between a good day and a bad day. "

Whether you are looking to get glossy, strong strands, or maybe you just want to extend the time between hair appointments, there are many tricks of the trade you can employ to get your best head of hair yet. From ingredients to look for, how often you should wash your hair, and even treatments to stimulate hair growth, read on for 11 tips for healthy hair, plus some products that will help you get there.

Tricks for Healthier Hair

1. Pump up the protein

A well-rounded diet is an important factor in hair and scalp health. Hair is primarily made up of PROTEIN, so be sure to eat at least 45 grams of protein daily. Good sources include:

• lean meat
• poultry
• fish
• beans
• low-fat dairy products
• eggs

Diets with inadequate protein can result in weak, brittle hair and loss of hair color, as well as loss of hair itself.

2. Omega your hair nice

Increasing your intake of omega-3 fatty acids may stimulate your hair follicles and sebaceous glands. While this won’t cause your hair to grow, it may improve scalp health.

Omega-3 fatty acids are found in cold-water fish, such as salmon, sardines, and herring. Other good sources include:

• flax seed
• yogurt
• cottage cheese
• salad
• cereal

3. Choose the right shampoo

Using the wrong shampoo and styling agent can cause significant hair damage. Look for products that are right for your hair type — oily ,normal, or DRY— and target any problems you have, such as DANDRUFF.

Try to avoid shampoos with harsh ingredients, such as ammonium lauryl sulfate or sodium lauryl sulfate. And remember, cost doesn’t necessarily indicate the quality of a product.

4. Get condition

Conditioning after shampooing is an important step in keeping your hair soft, shiny, and manageable. You can choose a separate conditioner or a shampoo with built-in conditioner.

Comb conditioner through for even distribution. Leave it in your hair for two to three minutes before rinsing out.

Just like hair washing, not everyone needs to condition every time they wash their hair. Experiment to find what works best for you.

5. Wash up and brush up

Experts suggest that many people over-shampoo or shampoo incorrectly. The standard rules of thumb are:

• Don’t wash your hair more than once a day.
• Use only enough of the product to cover your hair.
• Avoid using very hot or very cold water.

Treat hair gently when it’s wet — it’s three times more vulnerable to breakage. Don’t rub wet hair excessively with a towel. Use a wide-tooth comb to detangle, but don’t comb too much or brush wet hair.

6.  Hair maintenance 

Keep these tips in mind -

• Start off on the lowest heat setting while blow drying and gradually increase heat as needed.
• Allow your hair to air dry whenever possible.
• Change up where you place pins and clips so that breakage isn’t localized.
• If you dye your hair, choose a shade that’s within three shades of your natural color.
• Massage your scalp often to promote hair growth and increase blood circulation.
• Get your HAIR CUT regularly — every 10 to 12 weeks — to keep hair healthy and prevent split ends.

7. Minimize Heat Styling If Possible

keep heat styling to a minimum to protect your hair and hair cuticle. Another tip: "Understanding your hair, and how to get the most from its natural texture, will allow you to rely more on products and less on heat styling. Products will help protect your hair as well as enhance a shape or texture." If you absolutely must style? Blow dryers apply much less direct heat to your hair than straighteners, says Mistry.

 8. Cold Water FOR SHINER HAIRS

One easy way to give your hair a little gleam is to lower the temperature of your shower. "Cold rinses when you wash your hair will close the cuticle. A closed cuticle reflects the light, leaving the hair looking shiny," says Mistry. If you want added shine, use protecting oil, cream, or serum to give your strands some gleam.

DIET FOR HEALTHY HAIRS

Eat Amla to Reduce Hair Fall

Having an amla a day can do your hair a world of good. Amla juice is equally effective. Daily consumption of amla juice (one glass) on an empty stomach is highly recommended for people with severe hair fall problems.

Amla for strong hair growth

If you wish to make your hair grow stronger and thicker, the simple yet effective amla tonic is just for you. Apply and gently massage your scalp with freshly extracted amla juice. Thoroughly rinse your hair with a mild herbal shampoo after 50 minutes to 1 Hour.

Use Indian Gooseberry & Lemon for Nourishment

Amla and lemon are known to nourish the hair from within. A mixture containing freshly extracted lemon and amla juice acts as a great tonic. Massage your scalp with this tonic. Let it sit for 30 minutes. Rinse your hair with lukewarm water.

Wash Hair With Amla Water

In a bowl of water, add few pieces of freshly cut amla. Bring the water to boil. Filter the water once it cools down (at least 30-40 minutes). In the case of dried pieces of amla, you can soak it in water overnight. For better results, wash your hair with this water daily.

Use Amla & shikakai for Healthy Hair

Amla and shikakai are synonymous with healthy hair. Make a hair pack using amla and shikakai powder. Mix it thoroughly with water. Apply and keep this pack onto your hair (full length) for 30 minutes. Rinse your hair properly with cold water. The application of this pack is helpful to check hair fall problems.

Amla Juice for Hair Growth

Henna is a natural hair conditioner. It acts as a catalyst, accelerating the process of hair growth. Prepare a smooth paste of henna powder by mixing it thoroughly with amla juice (freshly extracted). Apply this paste throughout your hair. Let it stay onto your hair for 1-2 hours. Wash it off with plain water. You can also use a mild shampoo.

SHIKAKAI

Shikakai may naturally soften and smoothen hair by releasing essential oils and vitamins that are important for hair growth. It may encourage hair development and may help maintain hair silky and lustrous. When used for hair, shikakai may help with the restoration of hair’s glossy texture, thickness and length. 

Salmon for Shine 

Fish like salmon, sardines, and mackerel are packed with healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Your body can't make these healthy fats, so you have to get them from food or supplements. They help protect you from disease, but your body also needs them to grow hair and keep it shiny and full.

Grow With Greek Yogurt 

It’s packed with protein, the building block of your locks. Greek yogurt also has an ingredient that helps with blood flow to your scalp and hair growth. It’s called vitamin B5 (known as pantothenic acid) and may even help against hair thinning and loss. You may recognize pantothenic acid as an ingredient on your hair and skincare product labels.

Guava to Prevent Breakage 

This tropical fruit brims with vitamin C. It protects your hair from breaking. One cup of guava has 377 milligrams of vitamin C. That's more than four times the minimum daily recommended amount.

Iron-Fortified Cereal to Prevent Loss 

Getting too little iron can lead to hair loss. But you can find this important nutrient in fortified cereal, grains, and pastas, and in soybeans and lentils. Beef, especially organ meats like liver, have lots of it. Shellfish and dark leafy greens do too.

Cinnamon for Circulation 

Sprinkle this spice on your oatmeal, toast, and in your coffee. It helps with blood flow, also called circulation. That's what brings oxygen and nutrients to your hair follicles.
