Sadly, very few people are born with gorgeous looking hair. If you want your head to look great, then you are going to need to put a bit of effort into it. In fact, that is a lie, you are going to need to put a lot of effort into it. On this page, we are going to discuss a few tricks and tips for getting your hair to look awesome.

Diet
Right off of the bat, you are going to need to focus on your diet. People pay say much attention to the type of shampoo that they are using etc. but very few people out there may attention to the foods that they eat. Remember, your hair needs various nutrients in order to thrive, so get them into your diet. Look for products which are high in the following:

Omega-3 fatty acids
Lean proteins e.g. beans and chicken.
Iron
Zinc

For the most part, if you regularly eat meals with chicken, fish or lean red meat then you should be good to go. If you do not, then cycle through these three types of protein throughout the week. You will be surprised at how great your hair will end up looking!

Limit your time in the sun
You have probably had a sun tan before. In fact, if it is hot enough outside, you will probably have had a sun tan in less than a day. The sun is not just damaging your skin. It is also damaging your hair; it is just not immediately obvious. If you are going on vacation then it is suggested that you invest in a quality conditioner which you can leave-in your hair to protect it from sun damage. In addition to this, a spray designed for the hair with SPF protection is going to go a long way. Make sure you reapply it if you have gone swimming!

Brushing your hair
You should only ever use a hair brush if your hair is dry. Wet hair is going to be far too brittle to work with. In fact, most people out there who suffer from split ends will probably be able to eradicate most of them if they stopped brushing wet hair. If you really must style it when your hair is still wet, then it is important that you use a comb.

When you are dealing with your hair, it is likely that you are going to come across knots and the like. Most people out there will try and force the hairbrush through these knots. Do not do that. If you do that, you will completely ruin your hair. It will cause breakages. Instead, gently tease through the knots. If you can get hold of one, then you may wish to purchase a ‘tangle teaser’. This will work wonders when it comes to dealing with hair which regularly becomes tangled.
Remember, if you put the effort in, you can end up with some fabulous looking hair!
