So, it\u2019s always tough when you finally achieve your target length, only to have unforeseen issues. If that is the case, here are some helpful tips to keep your long hair beautiful and damage-free.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find Products that Add Moisture<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hopefully, you aren\u2019t using any 2-in-1 shampoos, but if you are, you should switch to specially designed products for your hair type. Whether your hair texture is coily or straight, finding a shampoo and conditioner combo for your hair type that won\u2019t strip your hair of its natural oils is the way to go.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And it doesn\u2019t just stop at your run-of-the-mill in-shower conditioner either. If you have curly or color-treated hair, adding a leave-in conditioner for an added moisture boost to your routine may end up being just what the doctor ordered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Not sure your hair type and the best products for your hair? Our stylists are here to help. <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/elannashville.com\/hair\/booking\/\"><b>Book now<\/b><\/a><b> or contact us at 615.269.0222.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get Yourself a Good Brush or Comb<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While good products help hydrate your hair, your own natural hair oils do most of the heavy lifting. And when we brush our hair, we\u2019re distributing this sebum to the rest of the follicles to keep them shiny and soft.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If cared for properly, investing in a good brush means you\u2019ll have a reliable tool to keep your hair healthy for many years. Consider finding a boar bristle\/nylon bristle hybrid brush for medium hair, boar bristles for fine hair, or nylon for coarse hair texture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid heat-styling whenever possible<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heat has a bad rap for a reason, as it opens up your hair\u2019s pores and weakens its defenses. We understand that air-drying isn\u2019t the best option for everyone. Still, we urge you to cut back on heat styling without a professional involved when you can and utilize a protectant if you want to avoid irreparable damage when you can\u2019t.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A rule of thumb for heat styling is to keep it to twice a week while making sure you\u2019re coating your mane in a heat protectant cream to create a barrier that\u2019ll keep frizz and splitting at bay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trim your Hair Regularly<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, the only remedy is a good chop when it comes to split ends. Dryness will inevitably happen to your hair, and the best thing you can do is trim up the ends to keep your hair strong. Split ends can actually work their way up to your hair, so the last thing you want to happen is if your old split ends creep up and ruin your newer locks. Try to trim your hair one to two inches every three months to avoid this from happening.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep an Eye on your Diet<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, much of the magic that happens outside our bodies starts with what we put on the inside. Maintaining a nutritious diet high in protein and whole foods,and drinking plenty of water, will significantly improve the look of both your hair and skin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good diet combined with maintaining low stress levels is vital for gorgeous long hair and a happy mood to boot!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; It seems like the longer we grow our hair, the more vulnerable it is to the elements, issues and drama!
