Summer is the time of the mermaid, and both men and women enjoy the bright, fresh colors of mermaid hair. Getting your hair perfectly turquoise, green, or lavender means a lot of bleach and dye, though. Even if the color is great, your hair’s texture, strength, and overall health usually suffer. Fortunately, there are a number of great ways to add mermaid texture to your mermaid hair.
Specialized Products
Today’s market has a host of products designed specifically for colored hair. Depending on your hair type, you may need to invest in oils for your hair. While these oils don’t suit all hair types, they are amazingly effective, repair plenty of damage, and add great shine and softness to your look. Those with fine hair are better off investing in special conditioners. No matter how flat you feel your hair usually looks, if you have mermaid hair, your hair needs serious moisturizing. You can always add body with other products and basic habits like blow drying. Remember, the health of your hair needs to come first.
Switch to Silk
Strange as it may sound, your pillow could be hurting your hair. Although there is nothing wrong with cotton pillowcases in general, they have been found to do a small amount of damage to your follicles while you sleep. Silk, on the other hand, does not. Although it may sound like a silly luxury, especially if your sheets are all linen or cotton, it’s a relatively easy change that can help your hair.
Eat Well
Nearly every ad for new shampoos or conditioners brag about the amount of protein they can apply to your hair. Obviously, protein is key to having strong, healthy hair, but working it from the outside in is not the most effective method. Eating a healthy balance of fish, chicken, and lean red meat is the best way to nourish your hair. These promote growth, gloss, and strength. Getting your vitamins is also important, and if you aren’t sure your diet is providing all the nutrition you need, you might want to investigate daily vitamin supplements.
Brazilian Blowout
The Brazilian Blowout treatment is designed for processed, frizzy hair. It’s the ideal way to not only restore the smoothness and shine you’ve lost, but to gain a sleek, shiny head of hair better than you’ve ever had before. Results last for up to twelve weeks, and there are wonderful post-treatment products available to help you get the most out of your Brazilian Blowout. The Brazilian Blowout’s secret lies in the essential amino acids it deposits and locks into your hair. These amino acids make your hair not only prettier, but healthier.
If you’ve noticed a theme, you’re correct. The theme is health. Healthy hair is beautiful hair, and there are so many different ways to maintain your shine that’s a shame not to. Just like diet and exercise work together to keep your body in shape, all of the above tips work best when used together. Nurture your hair from within and from without, investigate new pillowcases, and get down to the spa. Your inner mermaid is calling.
