Tips & Tricks For Growing Long, Strong & Healthy Hair

Too many times when people think about growing long and strong hair they think of it as too hard to maintain and end up just whacking it off. Well, the truth is it's not really hard to maintain at all. And if you read my articles you'll know that my own hair measure around 4 1/2 feet in length and I know what I'm talking about.
Of course it's definitely not maintenance free but if you use the right tips, you can have long, strong and healthy locks before you know it! (And with minimal effort).
This is an update to the other articles that I have written with a little more information since there seemed to be some who wanted some further tips...
How To Grow Long Luscious Hair is the first article that you should read which covers the basis for growing long hair. It covers supplement facts, and basic long hair care tips.
My sister, who also has extremely long hair, has written an article with pictures telling of her long hair journey.

A Few More Tips...

• Never use elastic bands to secure hair unless they have fabric covering them.
• Stay away from heat styling products and avoid washing hair in too hot of water. (Lukewarm with a cool rinse is best).
• Avoid chemical products and permanents. Perms may look nice but always have negative effects on the health of our hair. ( Not only is there "permanent" waves, there may permanent damage). For healthier and effective ways to wave hair without the harmful side effects,try to use Arimino Peace hair products.
•  Use hair mask (using one of the products below) at least once a week.

Caretrico Hairmask Type-EX

This mask has a very high concentration of moisture. It contains Phytosterol Derivative, an oil matter that tends to attract water, which in turn, lowers the porosity of the hair by preventing moisture evaporation.

Get shiny bouncy hair

Heat and humidity leave you with lacklustre, flat, and lifeless hair. But don't fret-simple haircare tricks can revive your strands and inject them with life. First, analyse your present hair and scalp type (your hair condition changes with season, age, place, and the treatment it has undergone). Our tip: Put your mane through the Dove Damage Meter to gauge its health. Based on the analysis, follow a regimen that keeps your roots healthy, shiny, and voluminous.

Beat the heat
Did you know that the temperature of the water with which you wash your hair affects the way your strands behave? You may have noticed that when you go for a blowdry, your stylist will avoid washing your hair in warm water. "This is because heat makes your scalp sweat, which in turn weighs down your strands,"  "Hot water can also strip hair of its natural oils, making it dry and brittle," we suggest that hair should be ideally washed in lukewarm water but conditioned in cooler temperatures.

Choose right
Use Japanese hair products, like new Caretrico shampoo( SHERPA D Supple Shampoo D1, D2 and D3 ) and moisturising conditioner to keep your hair hydrated and frizz free. The amount of the product you use to wash and condition also contributes to the volume in your hair. Just a teaspoon of shampoo and a pinch of conditioner should be enough for short to mid-length hair.

Always wet your hair thoroughly before applying shampoo. Also, it could be a good idea to dissolve the shampoo in a little water and then pour it over your head. This helps the product to spread through the hair and reduces the risk of product build-up on strands. Use a conditioner after every wash-it will not weigh your hair down if you use the volumising variety. Use very little of it, and apply it only on the strands (not the roots).

How to Take Care of Combination Hair

There are many different types of hair. There are thick types and there are fine types of hair. There are curly ones and straight-falling ones. Some hair types are more prone to the accumulation of sebum (the natural oils that our skin secretes) than others, while some hair types are just naturally dry. There are various ways of taking care of hair according to its various types.

But what if your hair happens to be a combination type of hair? What if your hair is very oily near the scalp but has the tendency to be dry to the point of brittleness as the strands reach the ends? How do you take care of hair like that?

Fortunately, there are a number of ways to care for the combination type of hair. With the appropriate use of the right products, you can prevent damage to your hair, protect it, keep it healthy and even enhance its beauty. So how do you effectively care for the combination type of hair?

It all starts with the proper washing of the hair. In shampooing, never use hot water to wet your hair. Hair strands are susceptible to extreme heat and hot water will only damage it. Instead, just use lukewarm water.

Be choosy with the products that you use for your hair. If you have the combination type hair, avoid using shampoos formulated for oily hair. It might worsen the condition of the dry tips of your locks. Instead, opt for shampoos specially made for normal hair.

Do not use too much shampoo to wash your hair. Just a dollop the size of a quarter will do. Apply the shampoo directly on the scalp and just let the suds flow to the ends of your hair. Never apply the shampoo directly to the tips because the shampoo will wash off the oil that your hair tips need so much. If you must, just scoop some suds from the top of your head and use it to wash your hair�s tips. Never overclean your hair�s ends and be careful in handling them. Rinse the shampoo off carefully and thoroughly until it is not slippery any longer.

After shampooing the hair, apply  conditioner. Just as you should never apply shampoo directly to the tips of your hair, you should never apply conditioner directly to your scalp either. The moisturizing agents in the conditioner will cause the scalp to produce too much oil. Instead, concentrate the application of the conditioner to the tips of your hair strands, and then rinse your hair thoroughly, this time with cold water to lock in the moisture and to discourage your hair from secreting too much oil.

For added TLC for your combination type hair, indulge in deep conditioning treatment once a week. Apply moisturizing conditioner to the dry parts of your hair, wrap it with a towel and let it be for a couple of hours before washing it off completely. You can substitute olive oil for commercial conditioner if you wish. Also, make it a habit to have your hair trimmed once every two months to get rid of your hair�s brittle ends.

The combination type of hair need not be a hair care nightmare. All it needs to keep healthy and beautiful is the know-how for its proper care.
