How long does it take for hair to grow? tips and products for 2023

We all dream of healthy and strong hair. Not only this, but healthy hair is not only an indicator that you look good, it is also an indisputable sign of our overall health. Therefore, it is very important to take care of it. So, in this article we will give you hair care tips for healthy hair.

1. Wash your hair according to your level of oiliness

There is no set number of times you should wash your hair; it depends on your scalp. If you have very oily hair you may need to wash it at least once a day. On the contrary, if a hair is damaged by chemical processes, it is usually drier and therefore, washing it often can worsen the dryness. 

Learn to observe the behavior of your hair, wash it only when you see that it has excess oil and you will have healthy hair. However, it is not recommended for anyone to wash your hair more than once a day as it can irritate your scalp.

2. Choose the right shampoo

One of the best hair care tips we can give you is to understand your hair type and choose a shampoo that suits it.

Nowadays, we can find specialized products for every hair washing need. Thus, if you have oily hair you can consider a detoxifying shampoo like Bain Divalent Shampoo by Kerastase, Reviver Hair Repair Shampoo by De Fabulous is an excellent shampoo for damaged and color treated hair because it offers nutrients and moisturizers, on the other hand, if your hair is curly our favorite choice is LOVE/curl shampoo by Davines because it takes care of the health and natural shape of your hair. 

All these shampoos can be found in the hair section of Boutique Deauville. 

3. Always use conditioner

For healthy hair, your hair care routine should always include conditioner. Whenever you wash your hair, it is best to apply conditioners since the washing process removes the hair’s natural oils and you need to rehydrate it.

However, you should only use it on your ends and in a small amount. One of the best conditioners for healthy hair on the market is Davines OI conditioner.

4. Brush your hair before washing it

The most fragile state of your hair is when it is wet, so if you brush it after washing it, you can damage it and lose more hair than you would if you brushed it dry.

So, our recommendation is to brush before showering, if possible, with a soft brush that won’t hurt your scalp. We recommend using a Moroccanoil Ceramic Paddle Brush. 

5. Be careful what you use in your hair

We know that we will always want to style our hair in different ways. However, many products are harmful in the long run and prevent us from having healthy hair.

So, if you want to curl or flat iron your hair, we advise you to use a ceramic machine in its entirety since it inflicts less damage. You can also use a heat protector before, for example, the Défense ThermiqueE by Kerastase. This product is available at Boutique Deauville. 

6. Try to dry your hair naturally.

Among the most popular hair care tips is to avoid using a blow dryer. The heat from a blow dryer causes your hair to fall out frequently and weakens it.

You should blow dry your hair only at the crown and avoid damaging the ends. We understand that sometimes you have to run out of the house and the best option is to blow dry your hair with a blow dryer, however, if you want to have healthy hair, we don’t recommend it.

7. Cut your hair frequently

Cutting your hair frequently is an excellent way to promote hair growth, getting rid of split and damaged ends and making way for healthy, new hair. 

In fact, if you want long hair, it is better to cut it rather than just wait for it to grow, as it will be stronger and healthier. 

Hair should be cut at least every three months and if you constantly manipulate it either with heat tools or dye, it should be every two months. 

8. Improve your diet

Healthy hair growth also depends on the nutrients you give your body. Thus, too much sugar causes hair loss.

Our hair care tips would include increasing protein intake, specifically, those sources high in iron and omega-3s such as fish and beans. 

You can also purchase a biotin supplement to promote hair growth. 

9. Use your fingertips, not your fingernails.

Sometimes when our hair is dirty, we have the urge to scratch. In fact, it can feel good to use your nails when washing your hair. 

However, this can damage our scalp and irritate it. Thus, the best way to wash your hair is with your fingertips, pressing gently to avoid unnecessary damage. 

10. Buy a silk pillow

You’ve probably had acne on your scalp or woken up with excessively frizzy hair. First of all, our tip for healthy hair is to wash your pillowcases often.

However, the best option for healthy hair is to use a silk pillowcase. Traditional pillows tend to pull our hair at night, while silk allows it to glide smoothly as we sleep. 

Finally, when you are washing your hair or building your hair care routine, we advise you to check the local stores in detail to find the products that best suit your needs. You can find hundreds of hair care products at Boutique Deauville.
