Other tips for healthier hair

To have healthier hair, it is necessary to evaluate personal care habits and, if necessary, correct them.

For example, we often have the habit of detangling our hair when it is very wet, without knowing that this favors the fall. It is better to dry it gently with a towel and wait a little while it ‘airs out’, before combing.

On the other hand, the type of diet can also significantly influence hair health. Often times when hair appears lifeless, dull, and begins to fall out, there is a nutritional deficiency behind it.

The natural treatments that we have proposed, although they are a great help, are not a definitive solution. So it is convenient to put into practice several strategies to obtain the desired results.
